Everyone knows that we don't feel good and we get stressed when there is disharmony in our lives, when our bodies are tired and our busy minds constantly chatter and judge. Through the discipline of Yoga we become more aware of ourselves by doing simple postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation to rejuvenate the body and quite the mind. It is in this manner that we cultivate harmony in ourselves. What is Meditation? Settling the surface mind is meditation. Living in the present is meditation. Relaxing deeply is meditation. When you are really happy, reposing in love, you are meditating. Meditation is that space when the thoughts have subsided, and the mind is in complete rest. What is Sudarshan Kriya? Sudarshan Kriya 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. It increases energy, improves intuition and makes you innovative. Millions around the world have done this unique practice and have reported better quality of life.

Gurudev, Does World Peace Start in the Heart? w/ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar | Soul Boom | Ep 25

In this insightful conversation, Robert Waldinger, Harvard professor and Director of the Longest Study on Happiness, sits down with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of the Art of Living, to explore the profound connections between the mind, body, and soul. They discuss the challenge of overcoming depression, how the mind can feel like a prison, and the importance of cultivating energy through meditation and awareness. Gurudev shares wisdom on the three bodies—the gross, subtle, and causal—and how meditation, breathing techniques, and music can awaken the subtle body, ultimately leading to a life of service and fulfillment. Waldinger, reflecting on his work with medical students, asks about the deeper meaning of a soul free from sorrow, and how to help others expand their awareness beyond the limits of the physical body, even when faced with illness. Together, they explore ancient wisdom, modern science, and practical tools for cultivating happiness, developing intuition, and finding freedom from sorrow. 🔗 Chapters: 0:00 - Introduction: Meeting of Minds on Happiness 2:10 - The Prison of Depression and Energizing the Subtle Body 4:45 - Intuition and the Beginner's Mind 5:08 - Tapping Into the Freshness of Children's Minds 5:20 - Training Over 100,000 Kids in Intuition 5:31 - The Wisdom of Beginner’s Mind and Zen Philosophy 5:44 - The Possibilities of Teaching Intuition to Children About #Gurudev - World-renowned humanitarian, spiritual leader, and an ambassador of peace and human values.

Indian Mystic REVEALS EVERYTHING You Know About the UNIVERSE is WRONG | Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

As a society, we’ve become aversive to the title of Guru, and I think for good cause.

In this conversation, we talk about the differences between spirituality and religion, the power of wonder, what true tolerance and forgiveness looks like, as well as a Q&A with the live audience that was present as we were recording this.

Use This ANCIENT TECHNIQUE To Find Peace & Break Free From SUFFERING | Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... I am honored and grateful to bring you a deeply spiritual conversation with a leader in breathwork, peace and love for all. I recorded this podcast in person with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at the Art of Living Center in Los Angeles. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a leader of an international movement with more than 50 million followers who do breathwork every single morning. He has worked for 40 years as a global ambassador for peace at the highest levels. I did his breathwork exercises every morning without fail for five years while fixing my mind, body and nervous system, and I have a huge amount of respect for his work in the world. It was a joy to chat with him in person and his childlike curiosity, enthusiasm for teaching, and deep understanding of the world are echoed in every word of this episode.
