Acem-Meditation is easy to learn and easy to practice. It’s an intuitive thing. Thoughts are allowed to pass freely. There’s no attempt to empty the mind.
The effects are immediate. You’ll experience sweet relaxation and get increased contact with yourself.
Better sleep, better concentration, and more openness towards others are other typical effects.
Meditation sound
While many meditation techniques use the breath as an anchor in meditation, Acem-Meditation uses a meditation sound.
This sound is word-like but has no semantic meaning. It initiates the relaxation response in the mind and body.
You learn the sound already on the first full day at the retreat.
Everything you need
You also learn how to deal with typical challenges in meditation, such as restlessness and self-critical thoughts.
After the retreat, you will have everything you need to meditate alone at home.
Personal communication
Acem-Meditation is an app-free zone. You learn the technique in personal communication with certified instructors.
All instructors have meditated for several years and have been through a thorough education. They will answer your question and make sure you get a good start on your meditative journey.
Groups
You learn the technique in a group with other beginners. Here, you can share experiences, explore your meditations, and learn from others.
Because the Young Retreat retreat also is for people who have already learned Acem-meditation, you will meet experienced meditators during meals and joint activities.
Longer meditation
Practitioners of Acem-meditation often meditate one half-hour every morning and evening, or once a day for 45 minutes. Others use the method when they feel the need. Ten minutes are better than nothing.
At the Young Retreat, however, you will also get the chance to try longer meditation – up to four hours. Longer meditations encreases relaxation.
Pleasant and friendly atmosphere
Young Retreat is known for its pleasant and friendly atmosphere. We are happy to see many participants return year after year.
