Meditation
A deep state of relaxation. A state of mind without thoughts. An action where we are so engaged, that instead of getting tired, we actually again energy. A state of peace out of which the most brilliant creative thoughts come up. Meditation is all of these things and more.
The best introduction to meditation is on the Art of Living Part 1 programs ("Happiness" programs) or SKY Campus for students - or Art Excel and YES for children and young adults. There we begin with Yoga and breathing techniques which together make it easier to meditate.
After one of those programs, the Sahaj Samadhi Meditation program takes you deeper revealing the connection of sound - mantra - and peace of mind. A mantra, your own mantra, is like wiping the slate clean each day. Whatever has happened, you are fresh and waiting for the next day with enthusiasm.
Yoga
From ancient times on, Yogis have discovered that there are connections between the body and mind. On the minus side, stress tends to accumulate in certain parts of the body, like the shoulders and nexk areas. On the plus, skillful use of postures (asanas) can allevaite these tensions and bring about a peaceful state of mind. More than that, precise asanas have health benefits on particular organs and regular practice of Yoga brings mental benefits like greater concentration.
In Art of Living programs Yoga is frequently the beginning of spiritual techqniques as Yoga perfectly prepares you for breathing techniques and then meditation.
Breathing Techniques
It is very difficult to handle the mind at the level of the mind. If you tell yourself "I need to relax", it may not help much.
Breath is the key. Each state of mind is associated with a precise pattern of breathing - we breathe in sharply when scared, when someone shouts "Boo!", we take deep slow breaths in when happy and relaxed. Art of Living breathing techniques, especially the Sudarshan Kriya technique - the core of the Part 1/Happiness and SKY Campus programs - build on this foundation.
The Sudarshan Kriya in particular relaxes so deeply, that participants naturally and easily start to meditate.
BASIC COURSES FOR ORGANISED GROUPS
Art of Living programs organised B2B for institutions not only bring all the benefits of open courses. They also enable your team to bond in a way no integration event can achieve. Bringing team members together in a personal development program where participants learn how to handle emotions establishes long-lasting and close ties.
