This is a very interesting combination of the events. A meditation center in the business school in Spain. Some might tell that this won’t work because there are too many different factors involved. However, if you think about it, everyone, including the future businessmen needs relaxation and the Spanish might find the techniques very interesting as well. I wonder if anyone is the business school has ever tried the methods of relaxation or known anything about the Hindu, but they are going to find out something very interesting.
