Intuition Process · Impact & Research
Future-ready minds
Helping children think clearly in a complex world. What the Art of Living Intuition Process changes for children — in the classroom, on the field, in their creativity and in how they feel — and what the research shows.
Intuition shines through the intellect but it comes from beyond the intellect. Intuition can be a gift that you are born with and it also can be developed through the regular practice of meditation. Intuition makes children smarter and their memory and intellect become sharper. This is going to revolutionise the educational system in the world.
— Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Why it matters
It’s a noisy world
Children today are growing up in a fast-changing, unpredictable environment. In such a world, intuition becomes one of the most valuable skills for navigating the future with clarity and confidence.
Future careers will reward creators and innovators — people who can connect dots others don’t see. Success will depend as much on soft skills as on academic ability. Intuition complements knowledge, creativity, emotional intelligence and confidence, helping them work together.
Facts can be googled. Good judgment cannot. Children must learn to ask: what feels right? What is true for me? To filter noise, sense credibility and trust their inner judgment.
The reality of growing up today
In an AI-driven world, intuition sets us apart.
- Screen addiction and information overload
- Low attention span and lack of clarity
- Peer pressure and the need for approval
- Bullying and social anxiety
- Communication gaps and self-doubt
- Uncertainty about the future

Research
The science of a relaxed mind
The brain functions in different wave patterns — faster waves for focus, slower waves for rest.
- GammaIntense focus, learning and cognition
- BetaFocus, alertness and problem-solving
- AlphaCalmness, relaxation and light meditation
- ThetaDreaming, creativity and deep relaxation
- DeltaDeep sleep and advanced meditation
Enhanced brain activity linked to focus and alertness
EEG scans measured beta-wave activity in a student before and after one month of practice. After practising Sudarshan Kriya and meditation, the front-central part of the brain showed increased activity (the red and yellow regions).

The hidden advantage
What intuition gives your child
Beautifully different
Supporting diverse learning needs
The Intuition Process has also been explored with children who have diverse learning needs. Practices that cultivate calm attention can provide supportive tools for neurodivergent children as they engage with learning and daily activities.
ADHD
Finding the pauseWhen the mind becomes calmer, many children begin to experience a natural pause between impulse and action — helping improve attention and reduce restlessness.
Autism
Easier connectionGreater relaxation often helps children feel more comfortable engaging with others, sometimes leading to improved eye contact and clearer communication.
Special needs
Emotional groundingSimple calming techniques can help children manage frustration more easily, supporting greater emotional stability in daily interactions.
Visually challenged
Heightened awarenessWith stronger attention and inner awareness, children often learn to rely more confidently on their other senses to navigate the world.
Deaf & mute
Focused perceptionCalm attention helps strengthen awareness and concentration, supporting clearer communication and emotional confidence.
More than meets the eye
Visually impaired children
- Improved cognitive abilities in both boys and girls
- Enhances cognitive skills, memory retention and academic performance
Communication beyond words
Hearing- and speech-impaired children
- A 10–15 decibel decrease in hearing thresholds
- Better concentration, emotional and conduct behaviours, and social connectedness
The Intuition Process provides a promising, non-pharmacological and affordable means to enhance hearing and well-being in at-risk children.
Young achievers
Where the practice has taken them
I never studied for more than two and a half hours a day. The Intuition Process helped me unlock my mind’s full potential and made my preparation far more effective.
CLAT Rank 91
The Intuition Process immensely improved my retention and gave me photographic memory, aiding my MBBS and MD exams. I knew key topics beforehand and earned the MD gold from the President. It boosted confidence, removed stage fear, and cleared confusion in choosing my MD branch and job.
M.D. Gold Medalist
Before my race, I sat in silence, meditated, and visualised myself winning. What amazed me was that the race unfolded exactly as I had envisioned. I won the gold medal by an incredibly narrow margin of just 0.01 seconds.

In their own words
What the children say
Post completing my IP, I started finding my studies easier. My interest in studies also enhanced, specially in Maths, which I was very scared of. My teachers started interacting with me often, and I made more friends in school. After a year I received an award for doing exceptionally well in academics.
The Intuition Process helped me boost my confidence levels by a lot! It brings higher focus levels and has introduced me to many hobbies.
Over the past eight years, my consistent practice has significantly enhanced my mental clarity, focus and awareness, allowing me to perform at a higher level in both sports and academics.
Voices
What others have witnessed
I truly felt that this program would reach and benefit all of us. For me, meditation is something that should become as natural a habit as brushing your teeth. It’s simple, but powerful when practised daily. I also see that many parents today are returning to traditional ways of learning — focusing more on mindfulness, discipline, and inner well-being for their children.
What I’ve just witnessed is unbelievable. I’m not someone who easily believes in such things, but today I’m truly shocked and have no words. For the next generation, this could be revolutionary. Maybe the real revolution isn’t AI, it’s the potential within us. I would definitely recommend experiencing this for yourself.
I’ve read and heard so much about how human potential can lie dormant — but when you witness such incredibly gifted children, your faith in human excellence is completely renewed. This is truly phenomenal.

All-round development in children.
Somehow this program helps children develop in the specific area they are lacking — participation, sports, academics, restless behaviour or lack of confidence. There is a marked improvement in the children. We have also introduced this program to children diagnosed with autism. The changes noticed are amazing: the children are paying attention, making eye contact, taking responsibility at home.

A world of possibilities
The Art of Living, worldwide
Founded in 1981 by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the Art of Living Foundation is a global nonprofit organisation dedicated to human wellbeing. Its programs have reached millions of individuals across the world.
Children and teens programs
Peace education is missing in the world. If every child is taught the way to manage his own emotions and his own mind, the world would be a much better place. You may not be able to eliminate violence totally, but you can reduce it to a minimum level.
