Mindfulness in medicare
Mindfulness as a treatment in modern healthcare has this year been used for 40 years. During this class I will briefly tell you about the different methods that are now used all over the world to help people recover from depression, anxiety, addictive diseases and more. I will spend most of the class trying to explain what changes in the brain are linked to mental illness and how we now actually know that mindfulness, yoga and physical training can often be very effective in good treatment. At Karolinska Hospital's Affective Reception in Huddinge, a very exciting project is under way with the ingenious title Braining where physical exercise, yoga and mindfulness are used in the treatment.
Meditation – focused presence
In our training on focused presence, we seek the reality we can experience. What we can directly experience is our body, the experience of “my body in my body”, being the total experience of all my body sensations. And then not in relation to anything else, but in relation to oneself, in oneself.
