Yoga Breathing: Neurophysiology and Health Benefits for Stress, Anxiety, Depression, and Anger! / Dr. Richard Brown
A breathing technique called Sud!arshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) is gaining recognition in the medical community, due to recent publications and presentations by Dr. Richard Brown, Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University and author of Stop Depression Now and The Rhodiola Revolution. Dr. Brown will give a talk at MIT discussing stress – a root cause of anxiety, depression, suicide, accidents and violence – and the neurophysiological benefits of SKY. Dr. Brown presented his findings of SKY’s positive impact at the American Psychiatric Association meeting in New York this May.
Dr. Brown was so inspired by the results of SKY, taught by th!e Art of Living Foundation, that he decided to become a volunteer teacher himself. This easy to learn technique, practiced at home is helping his patients as well as medical personnel who deal with intense stress and negative emotions in their work. He comments, “I don’t think the breathing can heal everything, just like I don’t think medicine can heal everything, but so many people, when they learn this technique, get a vision of who they really are and what they need to do to have a harmonious, balanced life.”
Psychiatrist Dr. Richard Brown will give a public talk at MIT on his experience treating stress with SKY. The benefits of SKY have been demonstrated across many cultures and in a wide variety of populations including among individuals with psychiatric and medical conditions, prison inmates and staff, and victims of natural disasters, poverty, violence, war, and terrorism. Dr. Brown will present a neurophysiological model explaining the beneficial effects of SKY, which was recently published in the textbook, Psychiatry Second Editionfs20 (2003). Dr. Brown has lectured internationally and at the United Nations.
