The Art of Living Foundation was inspired by the programs of spiritual leader and humanitarian His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar that began in 1982. It has been a nonprofit 501(c)(3) educational and humanitarian organization in the U.S. since 1989. Accredited as a United Nations Non-Governmental organization in 1996, it is now one of the UN's largest volunteer-based NGOs. It works in special consultative status with the UN's Economic and Social Council, participating in a variety of committees and activities relating to health, education, sustainable development, conflict resolution, and disaster relief.
The masterpiece of the the Art of Living Course is a powerful breathing-based technique called Sudarshan Kriya, or the healing breath. (The practice goes by this Sanskrit name in whatever language the program is taught throughout the world.) One of the breath's great secrets is that for every feeling or emotion there is a corresponding rhythm in the breath. Sudarshan Kriya incorporates specific natural rhythms of breath to release stress and bring the mind to the present moment.

the art of living teaches the sudharshan kriya. which is an ancient breathing technique. its made to breathe all emotions and stress out and raising the prana level or energy level of the kundalini or body...
but im afraid you have to the entire course. cant just learn sudharshan kriya. Coz its not only the breathing its the enrgy around you. and this course makes you find the deeper self.
i hope you end up doing it......
shanti

Its a hyperventilation breathing technique. It starts with pranayama then proceeding to the final technique which involves breathing in a certain rhythm. The Kriya is an excellent way to bring mind to the present moment and relax.
Just do it... |

Nice thread, sounds interesting... seems like a very practical and universal method of self-improvement.
I wish I could afford to take a course like this, but unfortunately I'm in survival mode right now
