VIRGIN ATLANTIC is to offer passengers Meditainment, the world's first inflight meditation programme from next month as part of its inflight entertainment package. Meditainment Ltd, a company that specialises in guided meditation experiences, has produced a series of meditative journeys for the audio inflight entertainment system blending traditional techniques and the latest audio diversion. The journeys available are specifically tailored to aid relaxation and sleep and to overcome stress and anxiety. Passengers can opt for meditative journeys to a desert island or summer meadow or, for the more adventurous, the moon or the Arctic! It will be interesting to see how the media treat it on the next Virgin press trip. The press release says that meditation can have a number of psychological benefits including increased calm and happiness and reduced stress and anxiety. Physical benefits can include reduced blood pressure and an enhanced immune system.
