Practical Wisdom for Getting the Most Out of Life
Happiness and peace can only truly be experienced in the present moment, yet our mind tends to swing between regrets about the past and anxiety about the future. This is the primary cause of stress.

Sudarshan Kriya
The heart of the Art of Living Course
Our breath and our mental and emotional states are linked; for every state of mind and emotion we have, there is a specific rhythm to how we breathe. When we feel content our breath becomes slower and deeper, and when we are angry our breath is faster and more shallow. Sudarshan Kriya, a unique breathing practice taught in the Art of Living Course, harnesses this connection to bring our entire system into balance – leaving us feeling calm, clear, and refreshed.
