Comparison of Acem Meditation and Mindfulness Meditation

Sunday 15th of May at 7.00pm with dr. Maria S. Gjems-Onstad:

Join us for this great opportunity to contrast and discuss these two different meditation techniques. Many people find that it is easier to meditate with Acem Meditation. We will discuss some of the reasons as to why this might be the case. We will also discuss questions such as:

  • Is the Free Mental Attitude in Acem Meditation comparable with the attitude one tries to obtain in Mindfulness Meditation?
  • Does Mindfulness Meditation require a more ‘on guard’ attitude?

Many other comparison points between the two forms of meditation, will also be touched upon.

Dr. Gjems-Onstad will also use her professional expertise to draw lines between psychodynamic therapy/cognitive therapy and meditation techniques.
