The Art of Living
Basic Course
Your first act of life is to take
a breath.
Within the breath is the secret
of life. Breath is linked
to the vital life energy in us or prana. Understand the
breath and the Life Energy or Prana.
We gain prana
through air, fresh foods and rest – (and also through
meditation.) Lack of prana results in lethargy, dullness and poor
enthusiasm. When we’re fully charged, we feel alert, energetic,
on-top-of-the world. Prana is the very basis of health and
well-being for both mind and body.
Learn and
experience specific Breath techniques which reduces stress and
anxiety, while bringing the mind to a peaceful centered state and
restoring the natural rhythms. These
are Pranayama and Sudarshan Kriya breathing techniques.
PRANAYAMA.
This is a deep
breathing practice that opens up your lungs to maximize the
absorption or prana. The words, prana+ayama means to
live from the dimenison of prana – to live with fullness of
life. Pranayama techniques recharges the cells, keeping us young
and vital with resilient and brilliant clarity of mind. It is
easily learned simple to do.
SUDARSHAN KRIYA.
This is a unique
breathing practice developed by Sri Ravi Shankar which floods
every cell with oxygen and new life. Negative emotions such as
tensions, frustrations that have been stored as toxins in the body
are easily up-rooted and are eliminated from the body. Anxiety,
depression and lethargy are washed away. Both the mind and body
feels refreshed and relieved. After the practise, one is left calm
and centered and when we feel good about ourselves, our entire
life naturally improves.
More than a more
breathing exercise, the rhythm of breath during the Sudarshan
Kriya techniques carry a deep significance. The entire universe is
governed by rhythms – the sun rises and sets, the tides rise and
recedes, seasons come and go. The human mind and body has
countless biological rhythms. When stress throws us off balance,
chaotic rhythms are created within us. Then we feel discomfort.
The mind wavers and oscillates between worries about the future
and regrets of the past.
The breath is the
between the mind and body. Like other natural rhythms in nature,
our breath also moves in specific patterns at particular times.
Can you recall
how you breathe when you are nervous, angry, relaxed or happy?
Every emotion is instantly reflected in the rhythm of the breath.
When we reintroduce natural rhythm into our breath, our body ,
mind and emotions can be brought back from a condition of chaos to
a state of balance.
The effect is
tangible and immediate. Sudarshan Kriya is a complete a natural
process and a powerful tool that is easy to learn and to practice.
It is a technique of direct experience that you can receive during
the 5 day Course.
What will I
benefit?
Your ups and
downs, regrets, fears and anxiety will pass fade away in your
memory. However, emotional upheavals leave a toxic residue at a
cellular level. Much tension is accumulated in the body.
Gradually, over
the years, these accumulations take its toll on your health and
your general outlook on life.
When your system
is saturated with impurities, you succumb to illness. Physically,
you begin to age prematurely. You may start to feel angry,
stressed out, burned out, or depressed. When the body is stressed
or unfit, the mind is also affected thereby causing laziness and
lethargy.
The Course will
be conducted over 5 days. The techniques and processes are
specifically designed to remove impurities within you and clear
the way for a fresh, joyous approach to life. Participants
have witnessed, experienced and reported many astounding benefits
including:
