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

Dyade 2018/3 Yoga - for stillhetens skyld

Dyade 2018/3 Yoga - for stillhetens skyld

Norsk Yoga-skole fyller 50 år, og vi bruker dette nummeret av Dyade som en anledning til å reflektere over yogaens kjerne.

Norsk Yogaskole underviser i klassisk, meditativ yoga. Grunnsynet er at yoga har med introspeksjon, stillhet og meditasjon å gjøre, i tillegg til alle de gode kroppslige virkninger som samtiden så lett verdsetter. Dette indre aspekt er ofte lite vektklagt i moderne yoga.

Flere skribenter deler sine tanker -om kropppsidealer, meditativt fotografi, impulsdans, motstand mot yoga osv. Noe sakling, annet mer emosjonelt.

Vi er ekstra glade for å kunne bringe ett langt intervju med Are Holen som grunnla Norsk Yoga-skole, den første yogaskolen i Norge.
