What course participants say

Molly Fitzgerald, Associate Brands Manager, Minneapolis

I learned of Acem Meditation from an acquaintance in Minneapolis. I decided to take the course and I really enjoyed it.

Mercedes Ozuna, Project manager, New York

My first meditation had an immediate effect. I didn’t believe it could make such a difference, and that I could feel such well-being.

Phillip Sader, insurance inspector, Chicago

The benefits of the Acem-method I am experiencing so far are relaxation that sustains throughout the day, better focus, and less negative reactivity to everyday issues.

The Power of the Wandering Mind

You relax more in meditation when you welcome the Wandering Mind – and do not try to monitor or control it.
