(Translated by Google) What a wonderful experience! The location is beautiful, right in a wooded area. From the moment we arrived, I felt welcome thanks to the warm reception from the friendly staff. I enjoyed two treatments: Shirodhara and Abhyanga. Both were performed by the same practitioner. She spoke excellent English, explained everything calmly and clearly, and immediately put me at ease. The treatments were incredibly relaxing and really made an impression on me. Afterwards, I felt wonderfully relaxed, both physically and mentally. The combination of personal attention, the pleasant atmosphere, and the beautiful surroundings made it a special experience for me. I will definitely come back here again! Highly recommended. (Original) Wat een heerlijke ervaring! De locatie is prachtig, midden in een bosrijke omgeving. Vanaf het moment dat we aankwamen, voelde ik me welkom door de warme ontvangst van de vriendelijke medewerkers. Ik heb genoten van twee behandelingen: Shirodhara en Abhyanga. Beide werden door dezelfde behandelaar uitgevoerd. Ze sprak uitstekend Engels, legde alles rustig en duidelijk uit en stelde me meteen op mijn gemak. De behandelingen waren ontzettend ontspannend en hebben echt indruk op me gemaakt. Ik voelde me na afloop heerlijk ontspannen, zowel lichamelijk als geestelijk. De combinatie van de persoonlijke aandacht, de fijne sfeer en de prachtige omgeving maakte het voor mij een bijzondere ervaring. Ik kom hier zeker nog eens terug! Een echte aanrader.

I went for an Abhyanga massage appointment today and from the moment I stepped into the building, I felt very welcomed. Victoria, the health technician, was wonderful. She was very kind, thoughtful and had such a calming energy. You could really feel that she cares about you and the treatment. The massage itself was incredibly relaxing and felt amazing. Afterwards, my skin and hair felt wonderful and I slept very well that night. Thank you for such a lovely experience!

I strongly recommend the treatments at the Maharishi Ayurveda Health Centre at MERU. The welcome and care I received were warm and heartfelt, creating a wonderful environment in which to relax and let go. Both treatments I received—the Abhyanga massage and the Takradhara treatment—were profound, allowing deep relaxation on all levels and bringing me into a state of pure transcendence, rest, and recovery. At the end of the treatments, I felt lighter, more energized, and joyful\. Thank you very much ✨🙏🏻✨

Thank you to the team at the Ayurvedic clinic for their warm welcome, which put me at ease so I could settle in for my treatment. Thank you to the therapist for their thoughtfulness and professionalism. This was my second massage at the clinic and I am still amazed by the relaxing effects, not only on the body but also on the mind.

Classical Panchakarma of seven treatment days or more, shorter Ayurvedic Experiences of one, three or five days, consultations with a Vaidya, and single treatments booked on their own. Panchakarma and the Experiences begin with a conversation; single treatments and consultations do not.

Three things. It is inside De Meinweg National Park, about an hour from Düsseldorf and Eindhoven and a little over from Cologne, so it is reachable from most of north-west Europe in a morning. It is MERU — Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's European base since 1984, where he lived for the last eighteen years of his life, with a resident community that still practises his teachings daily. And the body that sets worldwide quality standards for Maharishi AyurVeda, the Maharishi College of Perfect Health International, is based at the same address, with the Health Centre itself built in Maharishi Vastu.

Maharishi AyurVeda is Ayurveda practised in its complete classical form, restored in the early 1980s by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi with India's foremost Vedic scholars. In 1997 the President of the All India Ayurvedic Congress described it as making the principles and practices of Ayurveda available in a way rarely achieved recently in India, and noted that it retains treatments set out in the classical texts but no longer in general use in India today.

Three Vaidyas — Ayurvedic practitioners trained in India — practise at MERU. Each holds a BAMS, the Indian degree in Ayurveda, and an MD (Ayurveda), the postgraduate degree taken after it. Two specialise in Kayachikitsa, the discipline of internal care, and one in Prasuthi and Stree Roga, women's health and childbirth. Two are senior practitioners who worked directly with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and travelled internationally on his behalf.

No. Guests come for Ayurveda and nothing else is asked of them. MERU is a community of meditators and the Academy's own activities run alongside your stay, but you are a guest at a health centre, not a participant in anything. You are welcome at what is open, and welcome to ignore all of it.
