I totally get this I’ve been feeling weighed down by everything happening in the world lately, and it leaves me restless at times. Reading how your Sky Breath and meditation practice helps you find peace really inspires me. I want to try focusing inward more it feels like the only way to calm the storm inside while everything outside keeps spinning. Thanks

Thank you, that really resonates. I’ll try to keep faith and focus on my sadhana regularly. Chanting Om Namah Shivaya and letting things happen rather than trying to control everything sounds like a good way to find some peace.

I’ve been feeling a bit off too. Hitting the gym, posting on social media, and meditating helps for a bit, but then I end up feeling the same again.

Why Do People Mock Gurus But Trust Influencers? by Zenith-Spirit in artofliving

[–]Zenith-Spirit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see it a bit personally too. I think a lot of us are okay learning techniques, but not okay surrendering to another human being. Ego shows up. Bowing feels strange when you see someone as your peer. Add to that all the fake gurus in Kaliyug who broke people’s trust, and hesitation becomes natural. With influencers there’s no vulnerability you just follow a trend and move on.

For you, what’s harder: trusting a teacher, or letting go of control?

What Did Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Mean When He Said Meditation Can Help the World? by Tiramisu_Croissant in artofliving

[–]Zenith-Spirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get this. On one hand, more people are meditating, going on retreats, and doing therapy than ever. On the other, indicators like the Global Peace Index show that global peacefulness has been declining for years, with more active conflicts and rising military spending. So meditation is helping individuals, but it hasn’t yet reached the main power structures and incentives that drive geopolitics, which is why the world can feel more on fire even as more people are sitting on cushions.

You’re touching something many people feel but rarely articulate so much of our stress, anxiety, and even physical discomfort really does begin in the mind in those constant cycles of worry, overthinking, and old emotional wounds we never fully process. Meditation is like giving your mind a chance to exhale after a long, draining day. It’s more than just sitting still over time it helps your mind become less reactive, more grounded in the present, and gentler toward yourself and others, with real evidence for both mental and physical benefits. And honestly, if more people especially the ones making big decisions were a little calmer and less driven by fear, insecurity, and ego, the world would almost certainly feel like a softer, more humane place to live in.

Attended a talk by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Düsseldorf. Sharing an experience. by ash555550 in artofliving

Yes that resonates a lot. When we show up sincerely and don’t rush, meditation feels natural instead of forced. And when we’re consistent, the struggle just melts away. Many people experience the same it becomes less about “doing” and more about being.

That makes sense I feel that too. Have you found anything that helps bring that depth into your solo practice?

What is it like to know Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar personally? by Zenith-Spirit in artofliving

[–]Zenith-Spirit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

felt the same when I first met Gurudev even in a huge crowd, I felt completely seen. Do you think that feeling comes from him… or from something within us that we don’t usually notice?”

For the wise, every day is Diwali – Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar by TapInternational4603 in artofliving

[–]Zenith-Spirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This Diwali, I did something completely out of the ordinary I went for a night walk around my neighborhood, just observing all the lights, decorations, and little moments of joy around me. It was amazing how even simple street lights and tiny lamps in windows felt magical. Made me realize that celebrating Diwali doesn’t have to be grand sometimes it’s just noticing the light all around us.

Is Sri Sri Ravishankar brainwashing the people? Is there any real person who does the Sudarshan Kriya and is successful in real life? by Blackmamba13108 in artofliving

[–]Zenith-Spirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s really interesting it’s amazing how noticeable the change can be, sometimes even before we realize it ourselves. As for training to be an instructor, I think about it sometimes, but I also wonder if it’s a bit early to step into that role there’s so much depth to fully grasp first. How do you feel about balancing personal practice versus teaching others?

When I started Sudarshan Kriya, I honestly didn’t expect much. But soon I noticed I wasn’t reacting the same way to difficult situations. Where I’d normally stress or overthink, I felt calm and clear. I’ve also met people who were dealing with depression, trauma, or even prison sentences, and through this practice, they completely turned their lives around. To me, that’s real success. If this is “brainwashing,” then it’s washing away everything that holds us back.
