Ángeles de Paz en Irak

Paz en los tiempos de guerra

Irak (Septiembre 2003)

El Arte de Vivir ha estado trabajando en Irak en zonas devastadas por la guerra desde Septiembre de 2003. En un momento donde muchas ONGs se vieron obligadas a evacuar sus voluntarios en medio de la cúspide de los secuestros y el caos, El Arte de Vivir continua con sus esfuerzos de alivio.

Los voluntarios imparten programas de alivio post-traumático en diferentes zonas de Irak, especialmente Bagdad. Inicialmente se distribuyeron medicamentos, ropas y otras provisiones de emergencia. Con la ayuda de las técnicas de respiración y meditación enseñadas en los campamentos de trauma, las personas que sufrían de insomnio debido a los constantes bombardeos y muertes fueron capaces de recuperar el sueño. Muchos experimentaron alivio de la depresión, ansiedad, presión alta, migraña y otros desordenes psicosomático como consecuencia del estrés de la guerra.

Hasta el momento 5,000 Irakies de Bagdad, Suleimania y Karbala han participado de los cursos del Arte de Vivir.

“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.”

“I found that this training of breathing is so useful and its benefit shows when I do it. I feel that my heart is stronger and younger. When I can’t sleep I just do the breathing and I feel energy in all parts of my body.”

“I feel peace with myself and have less stress. I think if I continue with the practice, this feeling of peace will continue to grow.”

"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.”
