Kids for Kids is an innovative and experiential human values education project where children develop universal human values such as friendliness, compassion, love, happiness, and a sense of caring through practicing random acts of kindness.
These human values are revitalized in children through a one-month program comprised of: Random Acts of Kindness, human values education, journaling, art, and community service. Students perform one random act of kindness each day, and reflect on their experience through journaling and art. They also plan and execute a service project for their school and community.
After participating in the program, students become more cooperative and attentive, and more helpful, respectful and kind.

Testimonials from Parents
I thought the program was wonderful. My daughter helps out more at home, she’s kinder and has become more selfless, thinking of others first. Thank you so much!
Testimonials from Students
I learned to do good deeds, something I would rarely do before. I’ve learned to be more caring with my family.
I thought Kids-4-Kids was a lot of fun! I used to never help out at home but now I’ve learned to do so.
Kids-4-Kids helped me discover kindness that I had within and I was able to make others happy thanks to all the good deeds.
I helped my sister with her homework and helped her learn how to write.
Testimonial from School Directors
The project went really well. I noticed a change with the students. They were helping each other out more, they were more on the lookout for one another and there was less violence in the school yard.
Many parents called to tell us they were also noticing positive changes with their kids.
The teachers were so motivated that they kept the students involved throughout the project. They are convinced the students took it further and did not one but several acts of kindness each day.
I would definitely recommend the program to other schools and would add that my own teachers look forward to doing it again next year!
The Eternity Process is a past life regression technique that provides a tool to relive events that lie at the root of a pattern, whether mental or physical. The pattern can be something that needs to be changed or merely understood. A past life regression also provides a gateway to a vast, invaluable resource of information on previous times, places, and cultures. It helps the individual clear mental impressions that may block one's progress. The actions of body, our words and thoughts all leave imprints on our life. The mind stores these imprints as impressions or samskaras. These impressions remain latent in the mind for a while, before they emerge as mental waves, which produce desires, fears, ailments and other negative emotions. To help us overcome past impressions and impediments, our beloved Guruji has designed the ETERNITY PROCESS, a process that enables us to view past experiences and past lives to erase negativities. Our past impressions carry weight and determine how well we face the present moment and how well we can live life to its full capacity, free from fears and negative emotions. We emerge having lived through our past impressions, more alive to the present moment and open to celebrating life. The process has given deep healing experiences to many people. (This profound technique for AOL members only).
Sessions are conducted one to one and lasts for two to three hours (once only). The participant should have done Part 1 course. It is a powerful, deep, cleansing and meditative process.

Sri Lankan cricketers bounce back, thanks to Sri Sri
Colombo: Bruised and shaken by the terror attack in Pakistan, Sri Lankan cricketers are breathing easy after undergoing yoga and meditation taught by Indian spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
Kumar Sangakkara, the dynamic and optimistic new captain of the Sri Lankan cricket team, said that he felt relaxed and calm after just two sessions of the "Sudarshan Kriya" breathing.
It was "a really pleasant experience", the sports ministry quoted him as saying.
Chaminda Vaas, Ajantha Mendis, Thilan Samaraweera, Tharanga Paranavitana, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene were injured when terrorists attacked at a bus carrying Sri Lankan cricketers in the Pakistani city of Lahore March 3.
Six Pakistan policemen were killed in the audacious terror strike along with two others.
Vice Captain Muttiah Muralitharan, who was vocally critical of Pakistani security failings in Lahore, said he felt "a new calmness" after learning the breathing technique, which Ravi Shankar's Art of Living has taught to millions around the world.
Mahela Jayawardene, the former captain, described the breathing lessons healthy and helpful.
Cricketers Vaas, Dilhara Fernando, Prasanna Jayawardene, Tilakaratne Dilshan, Malinga Bandara, Chamara Kapugedera and Paranavitana also joined the programme.
Samaraweera and Ajantha Mendis, who were earlier in the hospital, plan to do the Art of Living programme very soon, the ministry's statement said.
"The Sri Lankan cricketers have now found a new direction to be relaxed, calm and still be dynamic and alert," the ministry said.
Institute of Sports Medicine director general Geethanjan Mendis organised the Art of Living stress and trauma relief programme.
"Relaxation and recovery is an integral part of a sportsperson's lifestyle, it is techniques like Sudarshan Kriya breathing technique that gives them the energy to bounce back," he said.
The Sudarshan Kriya breathing technique has benefited millions giving them peace of mind, emotional stability, better health, memory and concentration, according to Art of Living.
The techniques were administered to the cricketers by Swami Sadyojathah, a senior international teacher with Art of Living.

It always is mind over matter. The quality of our life is determined by the state of our mind. If the mind is at ease, we are able to perform all our duties whether household, professional or social with ease too. The question is how do we keep the mind, which keeps flitting between regrets about the past and worries about the future, happy. There is a built-in mechanism to calm the mind in each person, but seldom one is taught how to use it. And this is what you will learn from the Art of Living Part I programme. The first step into the Art Of Living,the course cleanses toxins and deep rooted physical, mental and emotional blocks from the body.It synchronises the mind and body through rhythmic breathing. The centrepiece of this programme is an innovative breathing technique called the Sudarshan Kriya. Breath has a great lesson for us. For every rhythm in the mind, there is a corresponding rhythm in the breath. Just as emotions affect the patterns of breathing, the mental and behavioural patterns can be changed by altering the rhythm of our breath. A remarkable feature of the course is that participants are able to rediscover the present moment, not as a concept but as a direct experience.
Programme details: • The Part I course is an 18-20 hour workshop spread over 5-6 days
• Open to everyone above 19 years
• Along with the Sudarshan Kriya, the course includes modules on skills for dealing effectively with challenging emotions, relationships, and situations.
• Includes basic yoga exercises.
• Techniques that are easily practiced.
Benefits: • Stress free, peaceful and calm mind
• Healthy body and better sleep
• Enormous joy, enthusiasm and dynamism
• Self discovery and new blossomed life
• Relief from depression, worry and anxiety
• Harmonizes relations at home and at work
• Greater creativity, clear perception and expression
• Increases physical energy and stamina
• Enhances interpersonal skills
• Increases concentration, confidence and responsibilty
• Controls anger and eliminates negativity
Research: More than 100 million people worldwide have undergone the Art of Living workshops. The stories of transformation are mind-boggling, varying from physical and mental well-being to improvement in social relationships to positive changes in innate qualities. Independent medical research has demonstrated significant benefits of these programmes. A study by All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, recorded significant increase in beta and alpha activities among Sudarshan Kriya practitioners, indicating a state of relaxed and heightened alertness. It’s also found that Sudarshan Kriya improves the blood cholesterol profile with significant drops in total cholesterol and LDL (harmful) cholesterol, as well as increases in HDL (beneficial) cholesterol. The technique is proven to facilitate physical, mental, emotional and social well-being.
In a fast paced age where stress and depression are widespread, the toll of stress on physical and mental health can be extremely high. Stress, anxiety and depression are known to be significant factors in the onset and progression of a wide spectrum of illnesses ranging from cancer and HIV-1 infection, to asthma and cardiovascular disease.
Sudarshan Kriya® and its accompanying practices (SK&P) are time-honored stress management/health promotion techniques whose health benefits are being validated by modern medical science.
This explains why the workshops taught by the Art of Living are such a rage the world over!
Independent research has shown that SK&P significantly: • Reduction of Cortisol(Stress hormone)
• Reduction of Blood lactate levels
• Reduction in 'bad' cholestrol(LDL), increase in 'good' cholestrol(LDL)
• Increase in Prolactin(wellbeing hormone)
• Increase in anti-oxidant enzyme levels
• Strengthened immune system
• Support the immune system
• Relieve anxiety and depression (mild, moderate and severe)
• Enhance brain function (increased mental focus, calmness and recovery from stressful stimuli)
• Enhance well-being and peace of mind
These simple, yet powerful breathing practices have a unique advantage over many other forms of treatment: they are free from unwanted side-effects, can cut health care costs, and are easy to learn and practice in daily life.
The Art of Living International Research and Health Promotion Center aims to promote timely and scholarly investigation of the SK&P as they relate to physical, social, and emotional well-being. We welcome research collaborations and suggestions from interested parties.
