In different Workshops for children to senior adults, we learn...rather acquire few abilities along with the practical wisdom to effortlessly deal with our day to day problems.
1. Ability to remain focused and relaxed at the same time.
This is a state of mind which increases awareness, helps giving our 100% to whatever we do.
2. Ability to influence the environment.
Most of the times, people,situations,and environment take control of our mind, but with the help of our inner strength we can take control of the things around and within us.
3. Ability to handle the Self Image.
We have lots of our own ideas which we are sure of, but we react or do things which others want us to do. What stops us is a simple thought of "What people will say, what they will think ,how they will react" In the process sometimes we loose our originality.
4. Ability to sustain interest and enthusiasm.
We plan things,start things where our interest lies with enthusiasm, but we are not able to finish the things.Over the period of time we observe diminishing enthusiasm.
5. Ability to rise in Love.
Love is not just an emotion, it is our very nature..or rather we are made up of substance called love. It is just about realisization.
6. Ability to handle emotional garbage.
There are so many stresses around us that if we don't know how to handle our own emotions, then some times we get bogged down with it.
7 Ability to control our mind and habits.
Countering negative thoughts and habits, is easy.
Art Of Living workshops helped me to achieve these experiences.
i strongly believe that the practical techniques which we learn in these workshops can help in reinstating the lost trust in humanity and bring down stress levels in an individual and in turn in society, which will make this world a better place to live.
At last i can say that you should experience it once because all that i mentioned above is purely experiential, and words are very superficial to express or explain them.I promise you that those will be the most beautiful days of your life.
