depresjon

From laboratory experiments to everyday stress

By Svend Davanger, Professor; Erik Ekker Solberg, Medical Doctor and Vilde Haakensen, Oncologist and Cancer Researcher

Why do people meditate? Stress management and relaxation, health issues, personal development, or spiritual curiosity are all frequently reported reasons. Some practice meditation occasionally, but those who continue to meditate throughout life have experienced that meditation contributes with something valuable. Not all these experiences are reported in medical studies. Nevertheless, it is interesting to look closer at recent scientific research on the effects of meditation on bodily and mental health. Three presentations will be given in this webinar:

• An overview of medical research on Acem-meditation
• Stress and meditation among youth and students
• Meditation effects on anxiety and depression

Ledighetsmeditasjoner som Acem-meditasjon stimulerer tankevandring. Den frie tanken er vesentlig for kreative prosesser. Betyr det at ledighetsmeditasjoner gjør deg mer kreativ?

Tankestrømmen i moderne meditasjon og kontemplative tradisjoner

Tidligere forskning har vist at Acem-meditasjon demper stress, mentalt og kroppslig. En fersk studie viser at effektene går enda dypere og viste endring i forsvarsmekanismer etter en periode med Acem meditasjon. Dette betyr at vår måte å takle fremtidig stress på kan endres. Hvordan kan dette hjelpe oss?
