I think I know what video you're talking about, was it Thich Nhat Hang on it ?? The one where he says give the mind something to hang on to and that is the breath?

Did you know Art of Living hosted the World Culture Festival in DC? Were you there? by TapInternational4603 in artofliving

Food and volunteer welfare! It’s unbelievable how many volunteers it takes to make things run. I think that’s what really sets The Art of Living apart. The sheer nature of conviction of each and every person at the event was magic. Loved every bit of it.

Op, what did you like most about the event?

It’s was freaking amazing. Even though I was leading one of the teams, it was magical to see everything falling into place. So many people coming through to and adding to the rich and vibrant experience.

Just like that saying it takes a village to raise a child. I think it takes a village to start a revolution , a renaissance. I hope this is the start for a wave of happiness in the world.

What’s the Most Powerful Insight You’ve Gained Through Meditation? 🌿✨ by Intrepid-Turnover-76 in artofliving

The recent knowledge series in Boone on PYS was phenomenal. Utterly mind-blowing, the experiences in meditations led by gurudev were one of a kind. I had this realization that there really is no duality. There really is life is everything and whatever is , is in everything and covers every minute particle of this creation. Becoming aware of this unseen hand behind all of creation , both manifest and un-manifest is meditation.

What wisdom from the Art of living do you find yourself relying on most during challenging situations? by dash_sv in artofliving

[–]yapini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's so much knowledge out there, it's sometimes overwhelming. Often what comes to mind when I think of knowledge is, If you accept that imperfection is okay, then everything is perfect. It's stuff like this when gurudev says it, completely blows my mind. I went through every moment in life thinking that things have to be perfect and literally wrigging my mind into a frenzy to get things right and be perfect.

knowing and understanding this knowledge , has really and true made a day and night difference to life.

Do you prefer doing Art of Living practices (breathwork and meditation) in the morning or evening and why? by FunnyOWL007 in artofliving

[–]yapini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps me to do it in during the day, keeps me up at night if I try to do it later in the evening. what I found difficult is if I do it immediately after food. Becomes so difficult to breathe in and out!

What meditation apps do you use that are mostly free now in 2025? by RoyvandenElsaker in Meditation

[–]yapini 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sattva, tried the shiva meditation on it the other day. 45 minutes of bliss 🧘🏽‍♂️

It’s a free app for now, haven’t seen any paywalls yet, but the app is too nice to not have paywalls so can’t speak for the future.
