Today’s deadliest epidemic is stress. It is eating our society in a subtle manner. Stress of moving ahead of time. There is stress not only among adults but in young children too. No one could escape from its viscous circle. So what has been the real cause of it .Everybody has their own personal reason but one of the common causes could be exposure to too much of negative media, improper food habits, lack of human values and so on.
Its so apt to say that“ A healthy body is a healthy mind”. Over the years our food habits have changed so much that a quick snack today would mean potato wafers and some aerated drink. We need to be aware of what we eat because it effects not only our physical body but mental and emotional health also.As very rightly said you are what you eat.Also an improper time of having food, healthy food replaced with junk food, imbalanced diet etc is creating many physical problems among people today.
Gone are the days of doing good to others, lending our hands to help, who has the time for it. One main source of stress in the society is lack of good human values. We have become so self-centered. Our targets in our respective fields matter the most. The meaning of staying happy has changed .We need to get back to our source .We need to inculcate good human values to give true sense to this beautiful gift of god called life.
Another reasons for stress and violence in the society is media. Media is a major culprit in creating stress in society today. Its not that the people want to see stress and violence. People are viewing what media is showing. In a subtle way the lives of people is governed by the media. It is creating a certain negative opinion because there is exposure to much stress and violence. People have started finding short cuts in life by indulging in crime and violence. A film becomes a super hit if it has extra ordinary fight scenes in it. A hero in a film is the one who has knocked down at least forty to fifty people. Where are we heading to.
The irony is that no one teaches how to cope with stress. How to manage anger, how to let out pent up feelings. Weak one falls prey to their own minds and land up committing heinous crimes others fall victims to their own needs and commit suicide.

Art of Living Courses
Program Overview
The Art of Living Course is taught over six consecutive sessions for a total of 18-22 hours with each session lasting approximately three hours. The course format usually includes weekday evenings and two weekend mornings.
The Breath
According to the science of breath 80 to 90 percent of the toxins from the body are eliminated through the breath. The average individual uses only 35 percent of their lung capacity. A greater understanding and skillful use of the breath can transform one’s mental and emotional state and significantly improve the overall quality of one’s life.
The Mind
A stressed mind tends to swing between future events and past actions – either in worry,anxiety, or regret. This constant vacillation creates unrest and unease in the mind and body.
The Art of Living Course provides the individual with concrete tools that enable one to reduce the effects of stress on the system and function more fully in the present moment, with dynamism, peace, and joy.
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.
This course features Sudarshan Kriya™, a breathing technique that uses specific rhythms of breath to detoxify every cell of the body and infuse it with energy. The course, which combines additional breathing techniques, meditation, knowledge about the mind and how to manage negativity, as well as other interactive processes, provides the experience of how to live with ease and success in a stressful world.
Upon completion of the Art of Living Course, participants receive a home practice consisting of Sudarshan Kriya and other breathing techniques, which comprise a comprehensive breathing program. Course participants report that with regular practice (15-20 minutes a day), there is a vast improvement in energy levels, greater ease in interpersonal relationships,increased ability to work under pressure, greater joy, as well as increased creativity and mental clarity.
