Art of Living - BASIC COURSEA gift to humanity. There are many things in life which are very deep but cannot be expressed, though they can be felt. To be able to feel the more delicate truth in life we have to be aware, peaceful and full of joy. Our thoughts and feelings are influenced by the perception of the outside world. They are in constant activity, they oscillate between the past, future, agreement and rejection, expectation and demand.
This brings strain and stress to our nervous system. If we relax and let our mind become peaceful and delicate it is a source of enthusiasm, creativity, a source of harmony, love and joy. Everyone of us would like to be in this mental condition and we wish that all people we meet feel more peaceful and joyful and go away with a smile.
Doing meditation and breathing exercises we clear our mind, our inner being and reach a peace, which cannot be upset by anything or anyone. In only a short moment of mental spiritual quietness we can recognize our nature: love and joy, quietness and clearness, beauty and force.
This experience can be done in the Basic course.
It teaches effective methods from the tradition of the Yoga, which are matched with the needs of the present:
- light / easy physical exercise,
- profound breathing exercises,
- guided meditations,
- recognized and useful mental rules in daily life,
- Sudarshan Kriya. All methods which are taught in the Basic course are simple and can be used by any person - irrespective of age, profession, education, lifestyle and tradition. They bring a lasting improvement in the quality of life and social life.
The knowledge of this course is universal. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar gives divine wisdom available in the universe.
Sudarshan Kriya, taught by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, is the center of attention. This process of breathing supplies the body cells with oxygen and overflows them with new life. Negative emotions, which have accumulated and deposited in the body like toxic substances, are eliminated in a natural way. Fear, depression and lack of initiative are reduced. The effect of Sudarshan Kriya is based on the force of rhythm. As nature is subject to rhythms - like day and night, ebb and flow, the seasons - our body our emotions, our mind and our self have also their own rhythms. If they correspond, we feel harmony and well - being. When we lose our balance because of stress, we feel uncomfortable and unhappy. Sudarshan Kriya gives us plenty of salutary experiences. If we restore the natural rhythm of our breath, we bring our body, our mind and our emotions from a disordered condition back to balance. We can laugh from the bottom of our heart and say "Yes" to ourselves and to life. We are quiet and collected in our thoughts and so we are able to gain a clear view about things and about ourselves.
