FAQs

What are the benefits of Sudarshan Kriya™?

bottom arrow

Sudarshan Kriya™ taught in the Art of Living Part 1 course has been researched in over 100 independent studies and shown significant mind and body benefits. It lowers stress levels, improves mental clarity, enhances emotional well-being, contributes to better sleep, raises energy levels, and provides a greater sense of inner peace. The physical benefits include boosting immunity, heart health, and more.

How is Sahaj Samadhi Meditation different from guided meditation?

bottom arrow

Guided meditations help you meditate with verbal instructions and music. They help you relax and unwind by providing a soothing and peaceful ambience. On the other hand, Sahaj Samadhi Meditation is a mantra-based meditation technique. The mantra is a charged, subtle sound that takes you to deeper states of consciousness. Guided meditations require, well, guidance, but once you learn Sahaj Samadhi Meditation, you can meditate on your own with this technique. It needs 20 minutes of your time, and a quiet corner where you can sit comfortably. With regular practice, you will feel more at peace and start noticing the improvements in your physical health, mental acumen, increased awareness, and sharpened intuitive skills.

What’s the duration of the Art of Living Premium course?
