Art of Living’s Happiness Program

Art of Living’s Happiness Program

The start of a year is the best time to make a new beginning. Especially if your resolutions include discovering and fulfilling your true potential.
Through The Happiness Program you’ll learn practical and powerful  techniques that will enable you to gain a greater vision of who you are and benefit you for the rest of your life. The centerpiece of The Happiness Program is Sudarshan Kriya, or SKY breathing meditation, a powerful breathing technique that uses specific, natural rhythms to not only release stress at the deepest level, but also balance and integrate mind, body and heart.
SKY breathing meditation may not be the only means to wellness in body and awareness in the mind, but it sure is one of the easiest techniques I know.
So effortless, it doesn’t require directing or ‘watching’ the mind, and always effective – even when mind is busy or upset. Ask about research conducted by 70+ published studies showing numerous benefits. Even better, find out for yourself why 370+ million people around the world practice it.

Sahaj Samadhi Meditation Course

Welcome to the Sahaj Samadhi Meditation Course! Many people have an interest in meditation and its benefits, but find that attempts to focus and concentrate the mind are difficult, if not impossible. What’s needed is a meditation that utilizes the natural tendencies of the mind rather than trying to subdue it.
During this course you’ll learn an ancient practice that allows the conscious mind to settle deeply into itself in a natural, effortless way. This meditation is enjoyable, relaxing, and simple. As the mind settles down it simply lets go of tension and stress and centers itself in the present moment. The meditation technique you’ll learn takes no concentration and the results are immediate. Sahaj means natural or effortless. Samadhi means that state of deep peace and rest that underlies all of our thought and activity — perfect balance.
Your course will include group classes as well as personal instruction, and sessions will include both experiential practice of the meditation technique and knowledge of the nature of the mind as it relates to practicing meditation.
