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

– I gränslandet mellan det analytiska, det affektiva och det intuitiva

Skrevet av Thor Udenæs

Nyckeln till framgång i investeringar utgörs av en kombination av långsiktighet, tålamod och en portion intuition. Siffror kan bedömas med hjälp av olika verktyg men en subjektiv bedömning av framtidsutsikter, marknadspotential och företagsledningens kompetens måste även göras. Det är här det intuitiva kommer in.

Vi tenker gjerne på intuisjon som en spesiell evne som bare enkelte mennesker har. Men hva om vi alle har i oss en ressurs for intuitivt samspill? Og hva om ressursen kan utvikles og få tydeligere form i livene våre?
