Return To Joy
Ourmind tends to vacillate between the past and the future. We are eitherregretting the past or anxious about the future. However as we all knowliving in the present moment is the route to joy. Our mind is such thatwe cannot control it in a direct manner. We cannot force it to be inthe present moment. But we can influence our mind through the breath."Take a deep breath" is an age-old recommendation for relaxation. TheArt of Living course takes this effect of breath on our minds andapplies it in a very precise and powerful manner through the SudarshanKriya technique. Practice of this technique can bring our mindeffortlessly into the present moment. As this happens, we learn theability to reduce the effects of negative emotions and return to ournatural state of joy.
Restoring the Natural Rhythm
There is a rhythm in all parts of nature; the sunrises and sets with a particular rhythm, the tides rise and ebb withtheir own rhythm, our body wakes and sleeps with a certain rhythm.Similarly every emotion has a corresponding rhythm in the breath. Inthe Art of Living Course we use this link between our breath and ouremotions to come closer to the rhythm of our natural Being.
