HOW OUR MIND WORKS ?

HOW OUR MIND WORKS ?

BRAIN UNDER STRESS

STRESSED MIND

Confusion in crisis/critical/emergency situations Causes chemical reactions that directly kill the

brain cells Cortisol directs the blood glucose away from

brain to muscle cells. Cortisol helps in dangerous situations with fight-

or-flight response. But during daily lives, it hinders our ability to

learn new things.

HOW OUR MIND WORKS ?

SUDARSHAN KRIYA ( SKY ) A type of pranayama i.e. breathing exercise A very simple technique Taught by Art Of Living Foundation

Present in more than 150 countries Based on ancient Vedic texts Discovered by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankar

ji also known as Guruji

HEY TELL ME WHAT IS SKY IN DETAIL !! Practice of different rhythms of breath. Invigorates the entire physiology Gets the mind unstuck Energizes each cell ! 90% of toxins of our body are released through

breathing alone !! But we don’t breath properly => Negative thoughts, energy… Brings back the natural rhythm of our breath,

which we have lost with our current lifestyle.

PLEASE TELL ME MORE !! 100% Cure for Cancer and HIV ! Cure for EVERYTHING !

A person with 20 years of lung cancer in 4th stage is completely fine, alive and living well.

Drug de-addiction

AND MANY MORE…..

HOW DOES IT WORK ? Most of the times, our body, mind and breath are

not in sync with each other. Isn’t it ?

SKY brings them in rhythm

You don’t have to do call happiness and peace to come upon you. It automatically happens

In sleep we get rid of fatigue, but the deeper stresses remain in our body. Sudarshan Kriyacleanses the system from the inside.

AN OBSERVATION

OKAY, YOU BLABBERED ENOUGH, WHATIS THE PROOF ??? Prolactin - a well being hormone -significantly

increases from the very first session of SudarshanKriya.

Millions of lives have been touched: trauma victims,prisoners, orphanages

Research has shown that we have 300 genes in thebody, we have 300 DNA genes in the body which areresponsible for heart problem, cancer, diabetes and allthis, and when we do Sudarshan Kriya andpranayama, this suppresses those genes from beingactive. I read in an article that a hospital in New York,they have asked the patients to chant ‘OM’. They’llmake you chant ‘OM’, make you relax and do somemeditation before they treat anybody for heartproblem.

TESTIMONIAL

“Learning Sudarshan Kriya has been one of the mostrewarding experiences of my life,” says Johnny, a junior atHarvard University who has benefited from the YES!+Program (Youth Empowerment Seminar) in the UnitedStates of America.“I honestly feel I can live my life morefully as a result of taking YES!+. I have practiced theSudarshan Kriya everyday since I completed YES!+ in myfreshman year of college, and my life has been enhanced inmany ways: I no longer get sick as a result of stress, I havemore energy and clear-mindedness, and I can grapple withnegative emotions far more effectively than my pre-kriyadays. The improvements to my physical and mental healthare so tangible that I almost think I have stumbled across apanacea.”
