Art of Living Course for Cancer Survivors

diagnosis of cancer is a challenging and stressful situation in anyone's life. And even though cancer is more survivable than ever before, coping with cancer can take a heavy physical, mental and emotional toll. Mounting scientific data suggests that immune system function, quality, and even the very length of life are all profoundly impacted by one's mental and emotional state. Healing and resistance to disease are not simply functions of the body - one's state of mind and emotions significantly affect physical health. 

Whether you are dealing with the side effects of cancer treatment, or the emotional upheaval of a recent cancer diagnosis, Art of Living Cancer Courses offer a wealth of practical techniques and knowledge that promote health on every level.

The Third Source of Energy

According to the more than 5,000-year-old yogic Science of Breath, there are four sources of energy, each of which is essential for the restoration and maintenance of vibrant health:

1. Nutrition
   
   

2. Rest, which includes sleep and the proper balance of rest and activity

3. The breath.The breath is actually considered more powerful than the first two because in addition to providing every cell with life-sustaining oxygen, it is traditionally understood to release negative emotions and boost immune system function

4. A calm, meditative state of mind

Art of Living cancer survivors courses feature the Sudarshan Kriya® technique, which supports the healing process by reducing the effects of stress, restoring vital energy, and by enabling one to get a better night's sleep. The Sudarshan Kriya is a specific form of breath practice based upon ancient Vedic understanding of how the breath serves as a connecting link between mind and body. The patterns of breath play a vital role in how effectively the mind, body and emotions interact to create health. (also see: Sudarshan Kriya)

The Art of Living Course for Cancer Survivors is a powerful program of self-discovery and healing, offered around the world at select locations.
