The masterpiece of the Art of Living

breathing-based technique called

Sudarshan Kriya, or the healingbreath. (The practice goes by this

Sanskrit name in whatever language

world.) Sudarshan Kriya

of breath to release stress and bring

the mind to the present moment. The

course also includes other breathing

techniques, meditation, low-impact

yoga, and skills for dealingeffectively with challenging emotions

and situations.

My work requires me to interact with many different people. After taking the course forthe first time in India four years ago, I have become an efficient communicator. I am

more receptive to peoples ideas and I am enjoying being more creative. Earlier I was a

big procrastinator. Now I am cured of that and I am able to take more and more

responsibilities.

- Sachin Singh, an Oracle Developer from Deloitte Consulting

Benefits of The Course

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. "Don't be angry!", we

hear... But how to do exactly that?

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 Part 1 teaches us this skill.

The Art of Living Course Part 1 teaches ushow to have greater peace, energy and joy, for

a lifetime!

5/12

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 itto 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 Part 1

takes this effect of breath on our minds and

applies it in a very precise and powerful

manner through the Sudarshan Kriya

technique. Regular practice of this technique

can bring our mind effortlessly into the present

moment. As this happens, we learn the abilityto reduce the effects of negative emotions and

return to our natural state of joy.

Increased harmony in relationships at

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 LivingCourse Part 1 we use this link between our

breath and our emotions to come closer to the

rhythm of our natural Being.

benefits, please visit medical research.

The Art of Living Course Part 1 practices have changed my life. Negative emotions do

not have the same grip on me and they go away faster. I really think my health has

improved also. I am strongly recommending the course to all my friends, family, and

patients. - Jyotsna Sahni, Doctor, Tucson, Arizona

Research Summary

Research on mind-body techniques has entered a new era requiring state-of-the art techniques and

methodologies. The Art of Living Foundation is developing a long-range approach. Now in the first

phase, scientists are producing pilot studies to demonstrate the potential benefits of Sudarshan Kriya

Yoga for improving health and well-being. Of necessity, most of these studies are relatively small and

exploratory. However, they provide the evidence required for obtaining larger grants to fund more

definitive work. Many of these studies have been presented at the World Conferences at the All India

Institute of Medicine and NeuroSciences in 2003 and 2006. As you read about research projects, keep

in mind that these results suggest but do not yet prove benefits.

Summaries of Independent Research

Though my yoga practice has long been essential to my well-being, since I began

practicing Sudarshan Kriya, I feel lighter, as though I'm carrying less emotional baggage,

while I feel a growing solidity at my core.

- Amy Weintraub, Author of Yoga for Depression
