Developing rural areas with the Breath Water Sound Program

The Breath-Water-Sound Program aims towards initiating sustainable change in rural communities through individual empowerment.

The program seeks to address the challenges of economically and emotionally distressed communities by empowering them. The first step towards empowerment is stress-elimination and building inner confidence.

Simple breathing, sound relaxation, and meditation techniques are taught to relax the individual. These techniques teach people how to handle negative emotions such as anger, regret, and depression. By being able to deal with these emotions, the participants experience peace and relaxation. What follows is mental clarity, confidence and focus to find solutions to challenges faced in the rural areas – be it substance abuse, infrastructural problems or lack of basic amenities.

From the ghettos of Chicago to the inaccessible tribal regions of India, over 2 million people all over the world, have benefitted from the workshop. It has been instrumental in bringing people together, inspiring them to serve and participate in the development of their communities.

Entire communities have undergone a metamorphosis, bearing testimony to the power of the Breath-water-sound workshop.
