M2 follow-up course
The goal of the M2 is to contribute to improve your meditation through a deeper understanding of the processes initiated through the practice of Acem meditation, and to better grasp the interactions between the spontaneous activities and the way you repeat the meditation sound.
The M2 consists of the following 5 sessions:
- Actualization and resistance
- Sensitivity and flexibility in the way we perform meditation
- Long meditation 1 ½ hour
- Metathoughts and psychological processing
- Personal development
Each session begins with a 30-45 minute group meditation. Afterwards, we will discuss themes arising from your meditation, using this leaflet as a starting point. These discussions will enable you to gain a more personal and comprehensive understanding of the meditation process along with an improved basis for meditation in your daily life. The third session consists of a 1.5 hour long meditation followed by meditation guidance. Long meditations strengthen the meditation process and can help you better understand how you meditate. This is the reason why long meditations should always be followed by guidance. Long meditations may also help coping with everyday stress.
In this course we discuss further the principles of Acem Meditation and how they may help us change some of the underlying, limiting structures of our personality.
We start each session with 30 min group meditation and each session has a specific topic:
- The Spontaneous Activity of the Mind
- Unresolved Issues and Resources
- The Elements of Acem Meditation: Control vs. spontaneity
- The Elements of Acem Meditation: Mental attitude vs. content
- Working Through Unresolved Issues
- Comprehension of Meditation
The topics will be discussed on the basis of each group member’s personal experience. There are several group meditations during the course, each 30-45 minutes long.
