SMILE and take a deep breath~

 Smile and take a deep breath~ our instructor kept gently reminding us before and after each activity. This was going to be our mantra for the next 4 days.

 By the end of the course the smile that had become like a recluse for years, sprang back to the forefront of my expressions! This was the first gift among many that I received from doing the Art of Living Course.

I had registered for the course more out of curiosity than anything else – reading other people experiences with Sudarshan Kriya and how it had benefited them at various levels was intriguing to me. 

I wanted to check out, how the power of breath could bring about such a positive change not only at the physical level but mental, interpersonal and the spiritual self.

Apart from the inquisitiveness, this time period was like a phase in my life where I was ready to explore and incorporate a more holistic lifestyle, something which could bring a more meaningful expression to my mundane life.

 So with few objectives in my mind, I went ahead and registered for the Art Of Living course which included among many other things, learning the technique of the powerful Sudarshan Kriya.

From the first day of the course to the last, there was so much learning, each topic touching a different aspect of our lives, but in all it lead us to learn how to live a life without stress- if fact if anyone of us, got too caught up in the process, our kind teacher would repeat the mantra “smile and take a deep breath”, and it would do the magic trick!

My firsthand experience with Sudarshan Kriya was so amazing that I plan to dedicate an entire blog page to describe it! All I can share now is that it was the most powerful experience that I went through- I gave in all I had to the power of my breath and it did wonders in return!

Not surprising to say that it was also a life changing event for me, the Art of Living course truly directed to me towards the real art of living!

It is an integral part of my life now –with each passing day my commitment towards the organization (one big family) grows stronger and what I get back in return is truly invaluable!
