It is amazing how deeply the Sudarshan Kriya healing breath meditation is taking its practitioners. What a Gift ... and this is one of over thirty spiritual practices and meditation methods Sri Sri Ravishankar brought into the world.
Since the early 1970s, millions have taken courses in Sri Sri Ravishankar's Art of Living, which includes over 20 meditation practices, music, dance, lectures, playfulness, and the famous Sudarshan Kriya - a powerful innovation on the ancient breathing yoga.
Sri Sri is the founder of the worldwide Art of Living Foundation, with centers in around 100 countries. If you could give yourself the gift of attending an Art of Living course, it might blow your mind when you experience how blissful, powerful, easy, healing, uplifting, physically exhilarating, spiritually awakening, and tremendously beneficial - immediately - it is.
This is more precious than all the money in the world. It is more valuable than all the love in the world given from the outside. This is a way of opening the floodgates of direct bodily experience of the nectar of supreme bliss, the ambrosia of immortality, the reversal of aging, the ocean of universal Love, and the holy grail of peace - from within.
The Sudarshan Kriya is a breathing practice, but it is nothing similar to any breathing practice you’ve probably ever tried. It is not like rebirthing, which involves lying down, and can be difficult and cathartic. It is not difficult or rough at all like many other practices. There are about twenty to thirty meditation methods and auxiliary practices taught by Sri Sri, a few of which go along with the Sudarshan Kriya to make it a smooth journey. It is indescribable.
What might astound you, though, is the sheer power of it in the first session, and the fact that this intense bliss and healing power, this spiritual ecstasy, this fountainhead of pure Love, and direct physical contact with the One Divine Consciousness, is so easy of access, so close to home! A whole new dimension of meditation success will open.
If you haven’t already, hopefully you can make it to an Art of Living course near where you live. Very little time, money, or effort is needed to learn it. It is amazing how little we have to put out for this, when so much magnificent value comes back to us from it. And it is endless. It just continues on infinitely. It is inexhaustible.

Almost as interesting as his breathing and meditation practices, are Sri Sri’s radiant words. His books, tapes, discourses, and daily e-mail sutras are wonderful.
