”Meditation brings changes to the brain”
In an interview in the Barcelona newspaper La Vanguardia, Acem's founder Dr. Are Holen discusses implications of recent scientific studies of Acem Meditation. After the interview, Acem Spain received more than 600 e-mails and 400 registrations for beginner's courses.
“Some of the best things in my current life are effects of meditation,” says Jacqueline Robert, a medical doctor from Alicante, Spain. “I now even get along better with my boss! Acem Meditation is not always easy, but always interesting.”
A recent American review of meditation research refers to seven studies on Acem Meditation, including several studies by Dr. Erik Solberg. The general conclusion is that meditation has a positive effect on a number of ailments, including high blood pressure. Many of the studies reviewed are discussed in the recent Acem book Fighting Stress.
