The art of living is a great program with 5 days. I personally recommend to join this program. Four years back I had joined 5 days training session Each day training was unique. The exercise which they teach during the program is excellent especially the breathing and meditation After meditat. At the core of the Art of Living Happiness program is a unique and profound breathing technique. A practical tool that restores body, mind and spirit into its natural rhythm of being, the Sudarshan Kriya has positively transformed millions and millions of lives.
Basic Course – Principles
AOL course teaches the timeless spiritual principles like being in the present moment, accepting everyone and accepting all situations, not being carried away by other’s opinions and not to resist things but accept things as they are.
The four main principles of Art of living are
Present Moment is inevitable
This is one of the first principles and it has been spoken about by all the great teachings from the Buddhist to new age. The art of living teacher keeps repeating ‘What’s happening now’ every few minutes to drive home the point of coming to the present moment. For a better understanding of being in the present moment read ‘The power of Now’ by Eckhart Tolle. Also read the discourses of Osho Rajneesh and J Krishnamurthi to have a good understanding and practice of this aphorism. In fact many of the AOL teachers do not understand the purport of being in the moment and just get a lot confused while explaining this.
Expectations reduce the Joy
Expectation is futuristic and will make us get out of the present moment.
Accept everyone and every situation as they are
This is an important spiritual teaching taught in many different spiritual schools. It is important to understand that we should not blame people for all the ills plaguing us. There is also no point just going on about the negative qualities of people. Instead if we accept people as they are our miseries caused by our prejudiced and biased opinions will subside and we will feel calmer and more composed. A calmer and composed mind creates a relity which is also peaceful.
What you resist persists
We become fixated on things we resist and hate. Prevent this from happening by awareness.

Don’t be a football of other’s opinion
Be on your own and don’t worry too much about what the other people think about you. Most people don’t have time to think about others and they all will be thinking about what other people are thinking of them.
Smile and be unconditionally happy

- Sudarshan Kriya takes us beyond our thoughts and emotions, and allows us totally experience our feelings
|
- I have attended a 6 day course on Art of Living recently. The Course was taught by the local representatives of the Art of Living Foundation set up by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. The Course was for duration of three hours on the first four days and there after it stretched to 6 hours on the last two days.
The instructors told us that the breath plays a very important role in our life. The breath is the connecting link between
the inner world of the mind and the outer world of the body and environment. There are seven layers of existence: body, breath, mind, intellect, memory, ego and the Being. The Course tries to bring an effect from the level of Being to the mind. We found the Course quite useful, especially the Prananyama Yoga exercises. They also made us learn about Sudarshan Kriya. Sudarshan means right vision; Kriya means purifying action. Sudarshan Kriya takes us beyond our thoughts and ...
- emotions, and allows us totally experience our feelings. The duration was for 30 minutes. We had to do some rhythmic breathing exercises to the tune of the voice of the Guru through a cassette. It was an exhilarating experience. Many participants had some strange experiences like involuntary twisting of arms, fingers, involuntary dancing or tapping etc. The instructors told us that during the Kriya, every cell of the body becomes so alive and releases all the toxins and negative emotions it has stored from the past. Some of the fellow participants reported that they felt renewed physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
In addition to the Yoga and the Kriya, the instructors also taught us various meditation techniques and told us many good things about leading an active and peaceful life, the importance of ‘giving’ and about the types of food that is good for our body, etc. We found the course quite useful and are determined to practice it every day.

Hi Sounder, This website isn’t related to Sri Sri’s Art of Living. I would suggest you to directly contact the local office, or have a visit to their main office which is located in Bangalore. As I know, the entire fraternity of Art of Living are quite supportive and takes care of any issues of its followers. |
