What is PEM?
UNDERSTANDING THE METHOD
What is the Power Enlightenment Meditation method?
Power Enlightenment Meditation is a meditation system that aims to rescue the power and autonomy of the mind and enlighten the consciousness in order to make more assertive personal decisions.
Power Enlightenment Meditation is an intensive training program to prepare and accelerate mind development to reach the highest levels in the meditation process.
The method was developed by combining the meditation practice with a selection of various psychotherapeutic and energy techniques associated with philosophical teachings from different cultures.
Within the structural foundation of PEM, you will find inspirations from classical philosophies such as Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, among others.
Power
What Is Power?
Within PEM’s philosophy, we sense power as a full understanding of the consequences of every action and thought we project.
It is when consciousness finally matures and recognizes its true power and responsibility in various aspects that influence one’s own life, the environment around them, and in some ways even their own influence on a global level.
Going deeper, power is the ability to direct every action and thought toward the desired consequences. It is to get into complete harmony with the Law of Cause and Effect.
Enlightenment
What Is Enlightenment?
In PEM’s view, enlightenment is not just a random event that can happen to very few people. We believe that enlightenment is for everyone, as in our point of view, enlightenment is when consciousness reaches the state of non-separation. And this state can be learned through a deep philosophical study on the true essence of human nature.
The state of enlightenment is a path that we will start here and should never be understood as a final destination. Because achieving the state of enlightenment is to discover that life is just beginning and this renovation in the soul reflects not only on us but on everything that surrounds us. Enlightenment is the integrated consciousness.
Meditation
What Is Meditation?
Meditation is every practice that promotes harmony and union between mind and consciousness, between desire and purpose, and between thoughts and emotions. In essence, it is every practice that connects us with divine love, and the outcome of this union is what reveals the potentiality of our Being to us.
Meditation happens when the mind frees itself from the conditions that generate thoughts of separation and duality. Then what was distant becomes near, what was doubt becomes wisdom, what was fear becomes compassion, and what was God becomes Humanity. All other benefits are the consequences of this. Meditation is when the soul becomes full.
The 3 pillars of PEM bring the essence of all philosophy.
1. Thought Management
According to neuroscience’s estimate, we have about 3,000 thoughts per hour, which gives an average of 50 thoughts per minute. Do not think that it is easy to simply close your eyes and meditate. In order for the mind to be fully immersed in meditation, one needs to do a quite deep inner work to better organize thoughts and, consequently, emotions as well. Otherwise, meditation can even become a very stressful practice for people who have an extremely active mind.

2. Access to Information
In meditation, we can access information in two ways: through memory records, which are information stored through the process of mindfulness or full attention, and through insight, that is, original information to which the meditator had no prior knowledge of a possible answer. In this case, the risk comes when the inexperienced student unconsciously uses an “imaginative” process to manipulate their own answers to justify their innermost desires.
3. Decision-making
The ability to access information through insight into meditation in no way exempts the student from responsibility for their own decisions. No “angel” or “being of light” that can be projected into the student’s mind should override the student’s Magna decision. For this reason, it is necessary for the student to learn deeply about the laws of cause and effect and to develop a greater understanding of free will so that their decisions are increasingly autonomous and have no unintended consequences.
