WELCOME!
"ART OF LIVING" is affiliated with
ART OF LIVING FOUNDATION. This organization is an INTERNATIONAL
non-profit educational and humanitarian misson active in over 140
countries, and is also affiliated with the UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION.
This is the website of the Pittsburgh College Team of Art of Living, set up as a collaborative
effort between students at Carnegie Mellon University and University
of Pittsburgh. Through a series of courses offered in groups, ART
OF LIVING members learn simple, practical, and effective mental
relaxation techniques based on Yoga, Meditation and Breathing. Highly
recommended for students, business executives, and entrepreneurs.
ART OF LIVING is a non-denominational, non-discriminatory,
non-religious organization. It lays emphasis on basic human values of
friendliness and compassion. Interested members can participate in
organized volunteer opportunities at a local and global level. The
members of ART OF LIVING make future teachers and community leaders.
The Art of Living BASIC COURSE offers the practical wisdom of how to
live gracefully in a stressful world, and also the deep spiritual
experience necessary to put that knowledge into action. This course
teaches the Sudarshan Kriya technique, along with a wealth of other
information. Sudarshan Kriya is a form of Pranayam, which literally
means the excercise of the breath. By focussing on the breath using
this technique, the mind automatically calms down. With a calm
mind, self-examination becomes easier, clarity and focus increase
and one gets connected with one's own core self. This relaxes the body
and fills it with energy, and even the most mundane thing appears to be
very interesting and important. Some one once described it as putting
the mind through a spin cycle, and others call it a natural high.
Whatever it is, the results are tremendously positive and there are
absolutely no negative side effects at all. Experience it for
yourself!
Independent medical research findings have demonstrated that the course
techniques reduce stress, depression and anxiety, and restore normal
sleep patterns, among other benefits. People who have taken the course
have reported improved mental health, peaceful emotions, enhanced
creativity, calmness and focus. The four "C"s have overall increased:
Clarity, Confidence, Concentration and Commitment.
This 6 day "Basic Course" entitles you to a life membership in the
global ART OF LIVING organization. In addition, members can take part
in weekly group training on-campus free of cost, and obtain daily
newsletters from the organization.
