News - Acem The No Guru Meditation


by Life Positive

If you thought meditation was an Indian monopoly, think again. Acem Meditation was founded by Scandinavian psychiatrist and professor Are Holen in 1966, as an antidote for stress.

Holen, who was in India recently is at pains to distinguish his product from the local variety. He called for meditation to be treated as an internal process whose effects depend on the quality and length of one’s practice. He believes it should not centre on personalities or admit outside influences such as a guru’s skill, grace of God or spiritual powers.
Are Holen: From Scandinavia with love
“Meditation emphasises a counter culture of looking inward. The fast pace of life and complexities of modern existence have made stress a part of everyday living. Changes keep taking place and coping with them is also an ever present challenge. Meditation reduces production of stress hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline,” said Professor Holen.

He adds, “Acem Meditation is a product of modern psychological skills and theory. This has increased the potency of meditation, with better effects for the practitioner. For the beginner, the most obvious effects of Acem Meditation are relaxation and increased energy. Many find their ability to concentrate increased,” he added.

Well, East or West, as long as people meditate, we are happy!
