New research suggests Art of Living techniques are more effective than others
By now, there is a large amount of scientific data establishing the healthy benefits of meditation. For example, this peer-reviewed summary [https://positivepsychology.com/benefits-of-meditation/] Benefits include the slowing of brain aging, improved attention, increased innovation and better problem-solving - all of which are key areas for students and professors alike.
A lot of this research is on meditation (or yoga or breathing techniques) in general - for example meta studies that pool the results of many individual studies, sometimes decades worth of research. This is obviously of great benefit as larger amounts of data more firmly establish results, but can be at a cost of key differences in the kinds of meditation.
Now new research at YALE university in the US has been carried out comparing: Emotional Intelligence training (based on psychology), Mindfulness training, SKY Meditation (Sudarshan Kriya Yoga Meditation) and a control group - in a randomised control trial.
SKY is a short term for the set of practices taught at Art of Living Basic Programs - beginning with Yoga, then breathing exercises culminating in Sudarshan Kriya and Meditation.
Watch this short film to find out the results - what happened to the state of well being of students from each of the four groups tested.
