The organization's programs are guided by Sri Sri’s philosophy of peace: “Unless we have a stress-free mind and a violence-free society, we cannot achieve world Peace.” To help individuals get rid of stress and experience inner peace, The Art of Living offers stress-elimination programs which include breathing techniques, meditation and yoga. Sri Sri's gift to the world is the Sudarshan Kriya, a breathing technique that incorporates specific natural rhythms of the breath which harmonize the body, mind and emotions. This unique breathing technique eliminates stress, fatigue and negative emotions such as anger, frustration and depression, leaving you calm yet energized, focused yet relaxed. Sudarshan Kriya harmonizes the whole system by cleansing daily and accumulated stress. Studies show that Prolactin - a well being hormone -significantly increases from the very first session of Sudarshan Kriya. Millions of people from all walks of life have been touched by the healing power of the Sudarshan Kriya. Villagers, corporate employees, housewives, teenagers, trauma victims, soldiers, leaders in business to government officials, prisoners, factory workers, university students and everyone in between, across all continents, all bear testimony to the numerous and varied benefits of this powerful breathing technique. It is well known that emotional well being is directly related to productivity, concentration, learning ability, and success. The benefits of Sudarshan Kriya are obvious for any family, business or organization.
