Spontaneous activity of the mind

Acem meditation consists of several elements: a sound is repeated in the mind with fee mental attitude. This releases the spontaneous activity of the mind. The meditation sound is a non associative word with a rhythm and which repetition also requires some energy. As this is repeated in the mind the spontaneous activity is released, which means that you will be thinking about anything that occupies your mind. Thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, memories, smells, sounds - everything that goes through your mind. Letting this "roam free" is quite important for us, for our recreation, access to our resources, creativity, intimacy and friendship. Stuff that is more emotionally charged, such as thoughts about a quarrel you had, or something you are anxious about, will be more immediately pressing in this spontaneous thought stream than other thoughts. However by giving these thoughts “room to move” the energy that is attached to them is released, and stress is relieved. Acem- meditation creates the ideal environment for this process to take place.
