The Art of Living Course teaches us how to have greater peace, energy and
joy...for a lifetime.
We have learned many skills at home and in school, but we have never
been taught how to handle negative emotions like anger, sadness, fear
etc. If we learn the skill to deal with our mind when these emotions
arise, the quality of our lives can change significantly for the better.
Through the power of the breath and ancient knowledge of the mind, the
Art of Living course teaches us this skill.

Return
To Joy Our mind tends to vacillate between
the past and the future. We are either regretting the past or anxious
about the future. However as we all know living in the present moment is
the route to joy. Our mind is such that we cannot control it in a
direct manner. We cannot force it to be in the present moment. But we
can influence our mind through the breath. "Take a deep breath" is an
age-old recommendation for relaxation. The Art of Living course takes
this effect of breath on our minds and applies it in a very precise and
powerful manner through the Sudarshan Kriya technique. Practice of this
technique can bring our mind effortlessly into the present moment. As
this happens, we learn the ability to reduce the effects of negative
emotions and return to our natural state of joy.
Restoring the Natural Rhythm There is a rhythm in all parts of nature; the sun
rises and sets with a particular rhythm, the tides rise and ebb with
their own rhythm, our body wakes and sleeps with a certain rhythm.
Similarly every emotion has a corresponding rhythm in the breath. In the
Art of Living Course we use this link between our breath and our
emotions to come closer to the rhythm of our natural Being.
