Meditation, not massages or wellness packages, will bring you peace and quiet in the long-term, say experts.DUSSELDORF – Everyone knows daily aggravations are brought on by work, relationships and the pursuit of one's own needs, and wishes for more peace and quiet from time to time.
Meditation is one possible means of achieving them.
Lutz Hertel, a psychologist at a German wellness association in Dusseldorf, is convinced of its long lasting effects.
"We see a lot more value in meditation than in massages or wellness packs. When meditating, you're active, which is the opposite of most other wellness applications." said Hertel.
Scientific studies conducted by Germany's professional association of internists in Wiesbaden have shown meditation combined with breathing techniques can have a positive effect on patients with high blood pressure. In addition to physical advantages, it also can affect spiritual wellbeing.
"Meditation literally means taking measure and orientating yourself," said Gerhard Tiemeyer of Germany's society for alternative medicine in Hanover.
