Empowering the Mind: Shreya Chugh and The Art of Living’s Vision in India

As YES! national coordinator, Shreya leads workshops for teens (13–17) that impart life skills and yogic techniques. Participants learn Sudarshan Kriya breathing, focus-building practices, and emotional intelligence tools. Teens often emerge more confident and balanced, ready to face academic and social challenges.

The mind is what tells us what is or isn’t possible based on beliefs and past programming. When you first wake up, your conscious mind is also more subdued than normal. When the mind is subdued, you become more open to experiencing psychic abilities, energy work, or telekinetic power. So, working with your Egely Wheel upon waking up can help you see results much quicker as there is less resistance within your mind.

The organization offers programs blending yoga, meditation, and breathing techniques to reduce stress, anxiety, and aggression. The Sudarshan Kriya has been scientifically studied and shown to improve mental well-being.

Art of Living also transforms inner growth into outer service: disaster relief, education, rural development, and sustainability projects. In India, programs have reached tens of thousands of villages, spreading values of compassion and unity.

One of Shreya’s most fascinating programs is the Intuition Process (Prajñā Yoga), designed to awaken children’s intuitive abilities. Over 2–4 days, kids (5–18) practice yogic relaxation, special breathing exercises, guided meditations, and playful intuition games.

Children often learn to read blindfolded, identify colors, or walk around obstacles without sight. These results build confidence, creativity, and a sense of wonder.

Shreya sometimes challenges graduates with psi wheel experiments – spinning a paper pinwheel using only mental focus. Many succeed, proving to themselves that mind over matter is possible.

Indian yogic texts describe siddhis (extraordinary abilities) and prāṇa (life force). The Intuition Process revives this knowledge in a playful, pressure-free way, helping intuition flourish naturally.

The Egely Wheel, invented by Hungarian scientist Dr. George Egely, measures subtle life-energy using a near-frictionless spinning wheel. When participants focus, the wheel spins faster or slower, giving instant feedback.

Practitioners can stop, speed up, or even reverse the wheel through intention. The device turns mind-training into a game, encouraging daily practice and deeper concentration.

For Shreya’s students, the Egely Wheel is a powerful tool to reinforce intuition training. Kids can track their progress and gain confidence by seeing their mental energy produce measurable results.

Shreya’s vision is to create a generation that excels academically and spiritually – children who meditate, trust their intuition, and act with compassion.

When children spin wheels with their minds or read blindfolded, they challenge what we believe is possible. They remind us that human potential is far greater than we imagine.

As Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar teaches: when individuals find inner peace, society becomes more united. Shreya and her team are leading thousands toward that vision, proving that mind power, coupled with love and wisdom, can truly move the world.
