Webinar: A new phase for research on meditation?

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

Ta ingen sjanser - svart humor

Humor, ironi og groteske historier er en måte å håndtere noe vanskelig. Et uendelig antall anekdoter og vitser er brukt til å holde døden på avstand. De følgende til dels klassiske morsomheter gir glimt inn i ulike tiders holdning til aldring og døden.

Ettertidens dom

Dødsangst kan ha mange utforminger. En dimensjon kan gjelde om vi huskes, og hvordan.

Meditative Yoga -Integrating body, breath and mind

Meditative Yoga -Integrating body, breath and mind

 Authors: Are Holen and Torbjørn Hobbel

Meditative Yoga brings restful peace to both body and mind, and renewed energy in everyday life. Start tired and end refreshed as body, breath and mind are united in slow, effortless movement. Students of meditative yoga gradually discover new ways of unlocking their inner strength. This book teaches a simple, classical meditative yoga – different from many modern, more dynamic and forceful versions of yoga practiced today.

Den gule blokka i Kirkeveien står som før, svær og trygg. En oktoberkveld i -69 lærte jeg å meditere i det huset.
