We are all part of a one world family. We are different but we are part of one human race.
You can be a Christian, Jewish, Muslim, you can follow whatever is your religion, that’s okay, but apart from that, there is something that can help you to become peaceful, graceful and happy from deep within. We need to celebrate diversity. We need to honor all the cultures and every language of the world.

“He tried meditating with YouTube…
5 minutes later — more frustrated than when he started. 😁
Couldn’t sit still. Got distracted. Ended up in a rabbit hole of random videos.
Then he discovered Meditations with Gurudev.
No forcing. No fidgeting. Just breath — and real calm.
He didn’t have to try to meditate.
It just happened. Naturally.
So if he looks extra peaceful now…
Yeah, it’s the breath and guidance from an expert😌

When love flows without conditions and service is offered without expectations, life becomes light like a breeze. Just give… and see how the universe gives back a thousandfold.
Although one cannot give with empty vessel. Fill yourself with love and compassion, which can be achieved through regular practice of meditation.

Meditation is not an escape from life. On the contrary, it is a soul-stirring embrace with the essence of life.
Balancing worldly activities with a daily dip inside ourselves puts us in touch with our eternal Self. We discover our innermost nature that never changes, even though our lives are immersed in constant outer change. This inner awakening to the Self is called Enlightenment.
Get an experience of the self with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in October!

If you can control your breath
you can control your mind—and the world around you. 🌍
Our breathing patterns are directly influenced by our emotions and thoughts. 💭
But when you shift your focus from emotions or thoughts to your breath,
a new world begins to unfold. 🌬️✨
When you are in control of your breath,
you hold the key to managing your emotions wisely. 🔑🧘
We’d like to invite you to pause for a moment, to get grounded and centred.
End the long weekend with a calming and relaxing guided breathwork and meditation session.
When the nervous system is calm and we’re more centred, we can focus better and take the necessary actions for ourselves and others, in the moment.
Monday May 19th at 7 pm PST / 8pm MST/ 9 pm CST/ 10 pm EST
There’ll also be an opportunity to ask questions about the SKY Breath Meditation and Deep Sleep and Anxiety programs.
Investment: your time and presence

The Art of Living Foundation (AOLF) is a global non-profit organization founded in 1981 by the global humanitarian, philanthropist and spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. It is now present in about 150 countries around the world.
AOLF offers effective educational and self-development programs and tools that facilitate the elimination of stress and foster deep and profound inner peace, happiness and well-being for all individuals. These programs, which include breathing techniques, meditation, yoga, and practical wisdom for daily living, have helped millions around the world to completely transform their lives.
My personal experience
In 2009 I discovered the Art of Living Foundation in Calgary, when I attended the Happiness Program to learn the Sudarshan Kriya breathing meditation technique. It had such a positive impact on my life at a time when I had recently immigrated to Canada, and was experiencing enormous challenges. As a result I attended several of their other personal development programs, including the Art of Silence Retreat and the Art of Meditation.
I was so inspired by the organization, its founder and their incredible service projects around the world, that I began volunteering with the Art of Living on a regular basis.
When I accepted a job in Prince George, BC and realised that there was no Art of Living chapter here, I decided to start organizing the Happiness and Art of Meditation Programs, so that I could share these powerful stress management techniques that completely transformed my life.
