LifeSkills for Happiness and Well-Being




LifeSkills is a Pathway to Authentic Happiness, Well-Being and a Fulfilling Life!

We draw upon the wisdom of Aristotle, Buddha, Confucius, Dalai Lama, Matthieu Ricard and Swami Satyananda as well as Martin Seligman, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ed Diener, Jonathan Haidt, Sigmund Freud and Abraham Maslow.

Our programmes help you to
• Dispel the myths surrounding happiness
• Discover your signature strengths and virtues
• Learn skills that make life happier, fulfilling and worth living
• Achieve your potential to be a winner - an authentic, alive, responsive, fulfilled human being
• Benefit from the wisdom of ancient sages and research findings of modern day scientists to transform your life.


Basic Pillars on which our programmes are founded:

Positive Psychology
Positive Psychology is the scientific study of the strengths that enable individuals and communities to thrive. The field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play.

Positive education
Positive education is defined as education for both traditional skills and for happiness. The high prevalence worldwide of depression among young people, the small rise in life satisfaction, and the synergy between learning and positive emotion all argue that the skills for happiness should be taught in school. There is substantial evidence from well controlled studies that skills that increase resilience, positive emotion, engagement and meaning can be taught to school children.

Positive Health
The field of medicine has long focused on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of disease. But health is more than the mere absence of disease. The emerging concept of Positive Health takes an innovative approach to health and well-being that focuses on promoting people’s positive health assets, which might include biological factors, such as high heart rate variability; subjective factors, such as optimism; and functional factors, such as a stable marriage—strengths that can contribute to a healthier, longer life.

Yoga
Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion. It is the most valuable inheritance of the present. It is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow. All of us have potential which is beyond even our wildest dreams, but most of this potential remains untapped. Each person has the capacity to experience different planes of consciousness, yet most of live in the lower planes, without experiencing higher levels of existence, or even believing they exist.

Meditation
Meditation is a practice that makes it possible to cultivate and develop certain basic positive human qualities in the same way as other forms of training make it possible to play a musical instrument or acquire any other skill. The primary goal of meditation is to transform our experience of the world but it has also been shown that meditation has beneficial effects on our health. Scientific experiments have shown that twenty minutes of daily practice of meditation can contribute significantly to the reduction of stress, whose harmful effects on health are well established.

Laughter Yoga
Laughter Yoga is a combination of laughter exercises and yogic breathing that strengthens our immune system and generates feel good hormones in the body. Laughter is triggered with the help of exercises which soon turns into real and contagious laughter with eye contact and childlike playfulness. It is a simple yet profound method of busting physical, mental and emotional stress in one go.

Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. During the practice of yoga nidra, one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness. A single hour of yoga nidra is as restful as four hours of conventional sleep.

Surya Namaskara
Surya Namaskara is a well-known and vital technique within the yogic repertoire. It is almost a complete sadhana in itself, containing asana, pranayama and meditational techniques within the main structure of the practice. Surya namaskara can be easily integrated into our daily lives as it requires only five to fifteen minutes’ practice daily to obtain beneficial results remarkably quickly.
