Inner strength in meditation

A podcast by Acem's founder Are Holen on how a free mental attitude can help meditation become less controlled and more open.

In Acem Meditation, inner strength is not about forcing the mind to behave. It is more about allowing thoughts, feelings and impulses to come and go without trying to push them into shape.

In this recording, Dr. Are Holen speaks about the free mental attitude in Acem Meditation: how it may be cultivated, and what kind of change it may bring about over time.

Dr. Holen is professor emeritus at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He founded Acem in 1966. The recording is based on a previously published CD production with the same content.
