Terror attack, New York (September 2001)9/11 Terror Attack New York, USA (September 2001)On September 11, 2001, nineteen Islamic terrorists affiliated with Al-Qaeda carried out coordinated suicide attacks, hijacking and intentionally crashing commercial passenger jet airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. This first major attack of global terrorism resulted in close to 3,000 casualties. Looking beyond 9/11Terrorism affects all of us and it is our duty to invest in a future without it. A human value based, multi – cultural education is a need of the hour. Read more Within hours of the attack, The Art of Living and its sister organization, the International Association for Human Values (IAHV) began to set up public trauma relief workshops benefiting over 1,000 victims, witnesses of the attacks and residents across the USA. Volunteers also arranged food for hundreds of fire-fighters in New York City, who, dealing so thoroughly with the disaster, had not been able to get any food for their members. Getting America back on trackThe Art of Living was invited to participate in "Back on Track America," a coalition aimed at getting businesses across America back on track in the post-September 11 business climate. Through this initiative, The Art of Living's team of stress-management specialists toured several cities across America, providing stress-management services to small businesses and their employees. "Life is stressful for all of us these days, and a meditative practice not only helps people deal more effectively with stress and anxiety, it also aids mental clarity and focus - qualities that any business can appreciate. The Art of Living was at the top of my list - I know their programmes, I respect their credentials and experience in this area. I'm very pleased to have them as part of this coalition." - Jane Applegate, CEO & Founder, SBTV. |

age 26 “I had decided to go back to my anti-depressants before this (The Art of Living) course, but now I don’t need them. I will practice these techniques every single day for the rest of my life. I only hope other people are lucky enough to take this course. It has given me more help than I could have ever imagined possible. Thank you.”

"Before this experience, I was sad, depressed and starting to lose hope because of the situation here in Iraq. Now, after only four days, I feel confident in myself – happier, have hopes and dreams again and I feel that life is so beautiful. I have started to love everyone and physically I have much more energy and am able to do more things. I want to thank you very much for helping all of us feel better.” Focus |
