Science of Breath (S.K.Y): Effective stress relief through the breath.

We see the effects of increased stress all around us. Headaches and tiredness can build up over time, gradually causing strained relationships and lowered productivity. Carrying around too much stress acts like a brake to feeling happy and healthy in life. The best way to relax is through breathing exercises -- because there is a direct connection between breathing and emotions. A recent European study found that just breathing in patterns linked to different emotions regularly produced the same emotions. So our emotions can be influenced by our breath. The Sudarshan Kriya, a powerful breathing technique, helps the mind be free from stress in the easiest way possible -- through the breath. Sudarshan Kriya Yoga, or S.K.Y., is taught in The Art of Breathing Course. For more information, visit http://www.artofliving.org/what-is-sudarshan-kriya

S.K.Y. is a practice that helps the body and mind find relief from stress without prescription drugs and at a lowered cost. S.K.Y. increases the brain waves that switch into gear when we are focused on mental activities. The well-being hormone, prolactin, becomes much more increased after practicing SKY just once. Emotional well-being is directly related to increased productivity, concentration, learning ability and success. The benefits even grow
over time. Lowered cholesterol, freedom from anxiety and a lasting immunity boost are some of these. Through practice of S.K.Y., we get a powerful advantage in life for the body, mind and relationships.

S.K.Y. was developed by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a revered spiritual and humanitarian leader. Spreading a message of peace and love, he is the founder of The Art of Living and the International Association for Human Values.

Been practicing SKY for over 4 years now and the change in my ability to handle everyday situations is beyond words. The things that normally would make me wanna kill someone just don't have the same effect on my mind anymore... Thank God for Kriya and Art of Living!!
