Analyze the statement's absolute claim

The statement claims that meditation is "always" more effective than relaxation. In psychology and health science, absolute terms like "always" are rarely accurate because effectiveness varies by individual, context, and specific goals.

Compare meditation and relaxation

Research shows that while meditation has unique cognitive and physiological benefits, simple relaxation techniques (such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or resting) can be equally or more effective for certain individuals or situations, particularly for immediate stress relief without training. Therefore, meditation is not universally or "always" more effective.
