My interest in meditation began in my teenage years, but it wasn't until 2014 that it became a daily routine when I discovered how much easier it was to handle being creative under time pressure. In 2016 it helped me through a divorce, a move from Asia to Sweden with my children and rebuilding my company and along the way I found myself. I am trained in the Silva Method and Positive Inquiry.

Förstudie av koppling mellan hälsa och kreativ meditation med Zenart METHOD - CREATIVE MEDITATION Can creative meditation increase health and well-being? Exploratory study "When creativity increases well-being " an exploratory study on the process of Creative Meditation In the exploratory study conducted by Dr. Mathilde Gautier, 2019 participants discovered the benefits of combining meditation and creativity to improve well-being. The study aimed to investigate how the process of meditating-creating-reflecting can increase creativity and promote well-being. The study found that participants were surprised by the effectiveness of this process, which helped them separate the three stages of meditating, creating and reflecting. They learned to appreciate the value of being creative without having to create something meaningful or effective. Participants discovered new techniques and working as a group increased their creativity, inspiration and motivation. They enjoyed sharing, exchanging and socializing with others, which allowed them to see different perspectives and helped them become more open to new ideas. The group work was also structuring and reassuring as it provided a defined framework for thinking outside the box. Additionally, participants observed several positive changes in their lives as a result of this process, including the ability to let go, clearer thinking, and reduced stress levels. They discovered new colors and how they could affect their well-being and became more open to new experiences. The exercise helped them understand themselves better, and they gained more confidence and self-esteem, which allowed them to take more risks in their lives. In summary, Dr. Gautier's study that the meditate-create-reflect process can increase creativity and promote well-being. The practice helps individuals become more open, less stressed and more confident, allowing them to dare to explore new experiences and techniques.

How creativity and culture increase emotional well-being. That we feel better when we listen to music, paint or go to the theater is nothing new, especially not for people who work in this field throughout history. The new thing is that researchers can now measure how significant this can be for our well-being. Since 2000, several large studies have been conducted that have begun to measure the impact of culture on health. A study at Drexel University tested three groups of students before the exam. One group tried colouring, one made mandalas and one did free painting, all for 30 min. They were able to conclude that the stress hormone had decreased by 30% after 30 minutes of creation.

Skogsbad med måleri En avkopplande friskvårdsaktivitet för att stärka immunförsvaret Skogsbad med eller utan måleri Vi möts i skogen för en aktivitet med skogsbad/måleri. Skogsbad handlar om att uppleva naturen med alla sinnen. Vi startar med en kort genomgång av Shirin Yoku. Kring hur den uppstod ur ett behov av att hantera stressrelaterade problem i Japan, och hur forskning påvisat hur skogsbad och måleri kan stärka immunförsvar och hälsa. För de som önskar kan man förlänga skogsbadet, och andra kan ha en kreativ del med måleri. En trevlig bieffekt brukar vara god sömn efter ett skogsbad. Vi målar med akrylfärg eller akvarell och kaffe. Inga förkunskaper krävs utan fokus på att ha kul med färg. Vill ni ha ett skräddarsytt upplägg efter ert fokus/tema så ordnar vi det.
