These values come only through spirit…we know that material comfort alone is not sufficient or complete. Happiness is a quality of consciousness. It does depend on matter, but to a far greater degree, it depends on attitude and understanding. Living the spiritual values makes your personality solid and strong.” Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Founder, Art of Living Foundation |

that accumulate in us.

expand health and inner development. Yoga and meditation
practices are now well accepted methods for releasing stress and
promoting health. Now the Art of Living Foundation offers the
unique Sudarshan Kriya® practice.

emotions from our system quickly and easily.

THE FOUNDATION
The Art of Living Foundation is a global, nonprofit organization with chapters
in 146 countries. As a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) of the United
Nations, we participate in a variety of international activities relating to health
and conflict resolution. We also conduct educational and humanitarian
programs in partnership with the International Association of Human Values
(IAHV).
UPLIFTING THE INDIVIDUAL
The pressures of modern life chronically activate the stress response which
harms physical and mental health in many ways. Everyone is affected by
stress to some degree. More than 1 in 4 take medication for depression or
anxiety. Decades of research have linked stress to everything from heart
attack and stroke to diabetes and a weakened immune system. Stressed
individuals increase conflict and suffering at every level of life.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Volunteer service projects are an integral part of the Art of Living mission.
Serving others is not only an expression of love, but a source of joy.
The Foundation has brought service programs, trauma relief, and peace
initiatives to tens of thousands of people in places of raging conflict, inner
cities, prisons, and to areas devastated by war and natural disaster.
At a tsunami site a few weeks after the disaster, the BBC reported that the
only people able to smile were those who had taken the Art of Living
program. Research on those participants indicated that Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder was relieved in one day of practice. Other research has indicated
that Vietnam War veterans found relief from 30 years of PTSD after taking an
18 hour Art of Living Course.
