perturbed, it becomes incapable of taking any right decision. Consequently, one lands in a directionless and purposeless state. The essential purpose of the Science of Living is to give right direction to the mind. Attending to one task at one point of time, helps in completing that task efficiently.

The Science of Living therefore, endeavors to impart knowledge regarding situations where the students could observe silence or make use of right kind of speech.
Balance between Knowledge and Energy
Knowledge and energy are two important sources of life force. Balanced flow of life force can be achieved only if there is a balance between knowledge and energy. Energy alone is destructive and knowledge alone is unimportant. In order to strike a right balance between knowledge and energy, it is essential to have a balance in the life force. The activity of journey within can help in achieving balanced life force. During this activity the children are as sit in 'Kayotsarg Asana' with a peaceful and relaxed state of mind.
They are guided to undertake a journey within the body between the energy centre and the intelligence centre. This process helps in developing a balance between sympathetic and para-sympathetic nervous system. In the language of Science of Living, the life force coming through Surya-nadi and Chandra-nadi comes with a right balance and begins to flow smoothly through the spinal cord and other parts of the body. This leads to the growth of awareness. The efficiency level of children also improves in the process. Perception of breath, perception of inhaling and exhaling and increased awareness of intelligence centre are some of the activities in Preksha Dhyan, which serves as effective medium of developing a balanced mind. Harmonic balance and optimal secretion from pituitary gland is essential for achieving balanced mind. For achieving this, the students are guided to focus their attention on various colors and at various points in the body. This process helps the children in emotional transformation and modification of attitudes towards positive directions.
Correct breathing: The essence of life
Another important element of the Science of Living is 'Pranayam'. Breathing is vital to our life and existence. No one can live without breathing. It is of utmost importance. Therefore, to educate our children in the art and science of correct breathing is essential.
The predominant function of breathing is the generation of life force in the body. The life force is generated with the combustion of oxygen and glucose, derived from the food, which we consume. Thus, in order to stay healthy, it is essential that the life force gets generated in a balanced manner.
