Acem Meditation is neutral to religion, belief systems and political ideology. The medical doctors and psychologists have developed the technique in Scandinavia since 1966. Ancient insights, supplemented by Western psychological skills and theory, have increased the potency of meditation.
Acem Meditation helps to cope with modern life style and the results may be summarized as follow:
• Deep relaxation and stress release
• Better health and renewed energy
• Improved concentration and efficiency
• Enhanced relationships and teamwork
• Fuller use of your potentials
• Personality development and self-exploration
The real benefit we can get only by practicing it regularly as the practice is closely connected with your life. Acem Meditation is considered to be like taking inner bath daily to keep the inside clean.
Acem Meditation is about learning to experience life as it unfolds – moment by moment. One popular misconception about meditation is that – it is a way to make your mind blank, so that you can escape from what you are feeling. But Acem Meditation is an invitation to wake up from your slumber, experience the fullness of life, and transform your relationship along with your problems, your fears, any pain and stress in your life. So that they do not control you by eroding the quality of your life and creativity. It is not about running away from your own problems or manipulating mental stress, rather Acem Meditation is a process of opening new dimensions of who we are, awakening to our own Truth, allowing ourselves to be authentic. It is a process of letting go our thoughts and allowing our true nature to float to the surface naturally.
Those who practice Acem Meditation believe in attending the Retreats in order to have the self introspection. The retreat centers in various parts of the world are special in its own way, for their scenic beauty, and silent atmosphere.
We have organized Acem meditation in places like AIIMS, IIT, JNU, DU, Ranbaxy, MMTC, NBCC, SAIL, India International Center, India Habitat Center and Times Foundation to mention few.
Dr. Are Holen
The founder and International Head of Acem Meditation
Besides being a medical doctor and psychologist, Dr. Are Holen is the Head of an International Meditation Organization. He founded the Acem School of Meditation in 1966, and the Organization is now active all over the world, including India.
Built on Age-old tradition, Acem Meditation has been further developed in Scandinavia during the past 40 years. Ancient insights have been supplemented by modern psychological skills and theory. Traditional teaching methods have been largely supplemented by modern teaching methods and group dynamics. This has increased the potency of meditation, with better effects for the practitioner.
Are Holen has done scientific research on meditation.

Few Scientific Researches on Acem Meditation
Better health with Acem Meditation
Acem Meditation has clear physiological effects. When athletes train hard and compete, the immune system is temporarily weakened. A study indicates that runners who practised Acem Meditation for half a year, strengthened their immune systems compared to runners who had not learned to meditate. Acem Meditation reduces the unfavourable effect of stress on the immune system, not only for runners, but for everyone who experiences stress.
(See “A modulator of the immune response to physical stress? A brief report”, by Solberg EE, Halvorsen R, Sundgot-Borgen J, Ingjer F, Holen A, British Journal of Sports Medicine 1995; 29:255-57)
On target with Acem Meditation
A study showed that marksmen who had learned to meditate improved their results in competition marksmanship. The control group, which had not learned the technique, showed no improvement. The study indicates that Acem Meditation reduces the level of stress in tense and demanding situations. This is obviously of benefit not only for marksmen, but for everyone who confronts stressful situations in their professional careers or other parts of their daily lives.
(See “The effect of meditation on shooting performance”, by Solberg EE, Berglund KA, Engen Ekeberg, Loeb M. British Journal of Sports
Let the heart relax with Acem Meditation
Acem Meditation reduces heart rate more strongly and stably than ordinary rest, and long meditations enhance the effect. A slow heart rate is usually considered to indicate relaxation. In a study comparing advanced Acem meditators with a control group that rested without meditating, the average heart rate dropped more markedly for the meditators than for the control group. For the meditators, average heart rate continued to drop during the second hour of meditation.
