Many consider Ayurveda and meditation as two separate disciplines dealing with health and well-being. But both are a successful combination, which is why many Ayurveda retreats include not only the classic Ayurveda components, but also meditation.

Your perfect vacation with Ayurveda and meditation
Ayurveda and meditation form an absolute dream team. Very specifically, Ayurvedic treatments are aimed particularly at health of the body, while meditation contributes primarily to health of the mind.
Meditation holds a profound significance in the Ayurvedic tradition, serving as a cornerstone of holistic well-being. With roots dating back over 5,000 years, Ayurveda emphasizes the practice of meditation to cultivate mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual growth. Studies have shown that regular meditation can reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression, while enhancing overall cognitive function and immune system health. Incorporating meditation into one's daily routine is not only a timeless Ayurvedic practice but also a scientifically proven method for achieving inner peace and vitality.
Meditation strives for spirituality to free your subconscious mind from all negativity. Ayurveda involves a careful diet and a variety of Ayurvedic treatments. These help in the prevention and treatment of diseases, because they help to relieve and free the body, for example, by specifically stimulating digestion. Together, these practices form a comprehensive approach to health and wellness, addressing the mind, body, and spirit in harmony.

Both meditation and Ayurvedic practices emphasize maintaining a healthy body, which is the foundation of an individual, happy life.
By combining Ayurveda and meditation, you achieve a mind-body connection that has a great impact on a long life, because your state of mind is of as much importance as a healthy lifestyle. Evidence shows that (regular) meditation leads to reduced stress, emotional stability, better memory, slowing the aging process, better sleep, lowered blood pressure, a strengthened immune system, and much more.

FAQ - Ayurveda & meditation
What are the common goals of Ayurveda and meditation?
Both disciplines aim to bring the body and mind into harmony. With Ayurveda, the focus is slightly more on physical health, while meditation primarily seeks a state of mental relaxation. By combining the two subjects, holistic relaxation and healing can be achieved, which is more profound and long-lasting.
What does "Ayurveda meditation" mean?
The term "Ayurveda Meditation" is usually understood as the combination of Ayurveda treatments and meditation sessions. You can book corresponding retreats offers with us. Furthermore, it can also mean meditation according to Ayurvedic standards. Here, depending on the dosha type, a suitable form of meditation is selected.
What is the purpose of Ayurvedic meditation?
In the meditation practices within the framework of Ayurveda, attention is paid above all to a form of meditation appropriate to the dosha type. Pitta types often do very well with visualizations, while the Vata type needs a meditation in which words play an important role. Kapha types perceive the world primarily with feelings, so this should be the focus of meditation. Also, meditations can help to reduce an exaggerated dosha. Especially for people with Vata or Kapha overlap, meditation can lead to more calm and relaxation.
How does a meditation session at the Ayurveda hotel typically proceed?
The meditation sessions take place in Ayurveda hotels mainly in the morning or evening in smaller groups, sometimes also as a private unit. The meditation itself runs with the typical components of relaxed posture, conscious breathing, the "let thoughts go" and a slow ending of the meditation. Some of our partner hotels also offer meditative walks through nature.
What belongs on the packing list for a vacation with meditation and Ayurveda?
On your Ayurveda meditation vacation, it is especially important that you feel comfortable and that your range of motion is not restricted. Therefore, choose clothes that fit comfortably. For meditation sessions that take place primarily in the morning or evening, you should also have a light long-sleeved jacket made of natural fibers. Otherwise, you may feel cold, even in warmer countries such as India and Sri Lanka. When it comes to underwear, it is important to remember that it can become very oily as a result of the Ayurvedic treatments.
