Interview- Part 2  

You meet with many manager and businessmen. Do you recommend Panchakarma treatment to them?

Of course – and not just to them. In January I had a wonderful time with my whole family here. I have also been here with some of my colleagues. The managing director of an investment company enthused about a new feeling for life, after his first treatment.

But very often you probably hear the argument: I don't have the time!

That's right. But my feeling is that if you don't have time yourself then give someone else Maharishi Ayurvedic treatment as a gift. I have done that a number of times.

It is precious for health. It is wonderful when one can help those whom one really likes, to improve their health in this way.

Can you integrate the Ayurvedic recommendations into your daily life?
I do a lot of things differently now. I try to take things easier and take more time. Naturally that is not possible all the time, but one can already do a lot. For example, a business meal does not always have to be heavy food with x number of courses. Even my colleagues now appreciate it when a light and easily digestible menu is served. But I don't live like a monk – definitely not.

Modern managers take time out for self development and wellness courses. Is Maharishi Ayurveda an alternative?
It is a question of knowledge and realisation. I have taken many of these management courses. They are mainly just a strain for the body and don't necessarily produce any mental freshness. Ayurveda has given me the opposite experience. The treatment, lectures and advice bring you closer to yourself and open up new horizons. Through the courses here at Bad Ems I think I have a better feeling for my body and handle daily life in a better way. And what's good for me, is good for my business. .

So, a royal path?
For me, definitely. It could be for many other people too. You have to be aware of the possibility and not close your eyes to it. There are already managers that are ill because of stress and it very important for them to be better informed and discover this method.
