Why “Art of Living” makes sense to the Corporate Executives

Yes, we are a far more economically and socially developed a lot today and also we are integrated across boundaries. These have also brought far more complexities into the corporate world. In fact, today we need to run faster and faster to stay where we are. Fatigue, anxiety and stress have become integral parts of the lives of the corporate executives. Someone made a comment in lighter vein to a colleague who had normal BP and other vital parameters saying that he is not working hard for the company. The corporate executives are left with only two choices; either lower the ambitions based on the limitations of body and mind or increase the mental & physical capabilities in line with the demands of the corporate world.

When the corporate executives look for solutions to overcome the stress and the inner solace, Art of Living (propagated by HH Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji) becomes one of the proven and effective paths to explore. Art of Living is hugely popular across 160 countries for its sheer relevance in today’s world for the corporate executives.

When we choose to enhance our mental & physical capabilities to achieve our ambitions and goals that is when the Art of Living’s resource would come to our rescue. To enhance our mental & physical capabilities, the Art of Living helps in the following ways:

      I.           The Trademark rhythmic breathing technique called Sudarshan Kriya, when practiced regularly would help in enhancing physical & mental capabilities. Sudarshan Kriya is hugely popular and widely practiced technique with lot of clinical and scientific evidence. As the body needs shower every day, the mind too needs certain cleansing process because of its overutilization in the corporate world. It takes about 20 minutes every day but brings a lot of mental clarity, increases the energy levels and ensures that there is emotional balance in us.

    II.           Some of the knowledge points (called Keys) taught in Art of Living programs has got enormous practical utility in handling the complex situations and human emotions. Oscillation of the mind between the past and the future takes away its energy to be effective in the present moment. The mind has got such typical tendencies that might work against us. Another example could be the tendency of the mind to hold on to that which is not positive. The teachings of Art of Living help us to create a mechanism inside us to increase the positive tendencies which enhance our energy levels. Many of the knowledge points of Art of Living essentially help us to stay focused and be emotionally balanced. In the corporate world we will be able to manage the complex situations and emotional imbalance better if we are in control of what is happening in our mind. Our ability to manage our mind within us helps in determining the success outside.

 III.           In the corporate world, since we are using only certain portion of the brain, which is more analytical in nature, we may create some imbalance in our personality. Art of Living offers singing and being in the company of positive people (known as Satsang). Singing has got enormous value in aligning left and right brain functions. Satsangs of Art of Living are fun filled and have influence on the subtle energies.

 IV.           Sometimes, in corporate world, while chasing dreams & goals of self and organizations, we may turn out to be “consumers” of the society than “contributors”. Seva (service) is an important component of Art of Living which helps us to develop a dimension where we become contributors to the society. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji says that one could certainly get into depression if one is focused on a tendency of  “what is in it for me”. Art of Living undertakes many projects from river rejuvenation to skill building, from education to rural electrification. One could choose projects of one’s own interest and get gratification of contributing something to the welfare of society. The feel good factor of service is something which every corporate executive should experience once in a while.

Corporate executives need to redefine success beyond economic parameters. If one is not fundamentally happy, emotionally stable, physically capable, mentally fatigued the economic success alone would not be complete. One needs to look at holistic approach towards our personal growth and life in general. That is when a mystic/an enlightened master would be able to guide us on the path of unknown terrain.

Someone who has a macro view of the life and the universe would be able to guide us when we are stuck in our own little world.

That “Someone” Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji would be in Mumbai from 28th to 30th April 2017 to take us through an experience called “Unveiling Infinity”. The key take away are enhancement of intuitive thought process, sharpening the intellect and innovative ways of problem resolution
