Sound or breathing

After an interview with Acem founder Dr. Are Holen Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, one of the several hundred readers who went ahead and learn the technique called the tip of the yoga teacher who writes for the local paper:

I joined a beginner course and found very stimulating. Years ago I practiced Meditation based on maintaining the correct attitude towards the world and himself, and visualisations. In contrast, the method Acem puts it doesn't matter any of this, but is based simply on repeating a sound intellectually for half an hour twice a day. There is no emphasis on breathing. And instead of classic lotus position, you're in an armchair with support for your lower back.…What do you think?

The yoga teacher seems to be open-minded:

As I can tell my students often: "If you're ok with this, then it's OK." Let each person can take advantage of what it can to help him become more mature, more balanced and shrewd.

A funny twist logic, however, he concludes by suggesting breathing Meditation:

But, of course, meditating on the breath is more ideal.It is so very reassuring and a good instrument for enhancing concentration and get one-pointedness of minds.

There's nothing wrong with breathing Meditation, and it is often taught as part of yoga in Acem and in other contexts. from our experience, based on sound Meditation goes deeper than breathing Meditation and other techniques based on the Body, but the simplicity of a technique breathing is also The most problematic charm. aspect of the response of Yoga teaching lies in its emphasis on concentration and one-pointedness. Truth, sometimes Meditation brings about a kind of calm and mental absorption that is both pleasant and beneficial. But also techniques that opens the mind to do the opposite. you get in touch with the tension and anxiety inside you, and so let you deal with these things instead of just letting them remain put. too much talk about concentration tends to restrict the mind and to stop the process.
