Discover the present moment

Mental health is our next public health revolution. Research shows that we can be a happier, less angry and stressed, more present and more compassionate to oneself and others by meditating. In order for this to happen meditation needs to be explained and taught in an simple, pragmatic and accessible way for everyone.

I teach a secular meditation technique, based on mindfulness. It is an exercise in presence and awareness. You don't have to believe in anything, wear special clothes or sit in any particular position. Meditation is about observing what’s happening in body and mind, moment after moment with equanimity. Just as we can train our fitness by running, we can train our minds and become more present by meditating. It's a skill and the more you practice, the more present and mindful you’ll become. Welcome to start meditating!

Meditation for a sustainable workplace

Sickness related to stress has increased more than six-fold in the last eight years in Sweden and mental illness accounts for 46% of all absence of leave at the workplace. I combine my own experiences from working for over 80 hours a week at one of the worlds most awarded PR-agencies and I wish that I had learned to meditate back then. There is no more effective tool for reducing stress. But meditation is not only for those who are extremely stressed but is of benefit to everyone - especially at workplaces when it comes to personal development. Meditation is mental training where we practice to become more present, increase our ability to stay focused and become more conscious. This helps us make wiser choices, be more present and actually feel better at both the workplace and at home.

About meditation and stillness
