The Science of Joyful Living
Discovering Peace, Happiness and Bliss Within

Introduction to the Workshop

The Science of Joyful Living is a seminar based on the teachings of H.H Dr Swami Rama of the Himalayas, a great yogi, scientist, author, teacher and humanitarian. His pioneering experiments with American scientists in the early seventies laid the foundation for a holistic approach to health and healing.

Swami Rama taught that the purpose of life is to be free of pains, miseries and bondages. Much of our suffering is self-created and a vast majority of diseases are of psychosomatic origin. Research has shown that stress is a major cause of accidents and many illnesses: headaches, depression, anxiety, heart disease, high blood pressure, respiratory diseases and digestive disorders.

In this seminar, the interaction between the biological, physiological, psychological and philosophical dimensions will be explored. Harmonious integration of body, breath, mind and spirit will be reinforced through simple practicum. Devoting only a few minutes each day to these practices will allow us to enhance communication skills, improve inter-personal relationships, sharpen decision-making and manage stress effectively. Hidden potentials will be unlocked making us more creative and dynamic and allowing us to fulfill the purpose of life.

The seminar consists of several inter-related modules. Each module includes a lecture delivered using multi-media aids, a practicum and time for interaction with the faculty. The seminar can be tailored into a one or two day seminar and can be customized to the needs of a particular group or organization.
