Acem Meditation is a simple mindful technique for relaxation, health and personal growth based on modern psychology and scientific research. In the long run, the inner freedom of Acem Meditation may initiate fascinating processes of self-understanding and personal growth.

The anti-stress effects of Acem Meditation are confirmed by scientific research. Blood pressure and heart rates are reduced, the immune system is strengthened, performance under pressure is enhanced, and brain waves show deep relaxation.
