Mindful in Gothenburg

A couple of months ago we ended up with a hamster, not at all planned, but as the quote says "Desperate times...". One weekend we went to a local pet shop just to have a look at some pets, we thought it would cheer us up a bit in these times. I said as a joke, if any pet comes running towards us, then it is a sign. And there he was, this little crazy five weeks old hamster, desperate for attention. So we chose him or he chose us. And he has now been a part of our family for three months and who knew that one small creature could bring so much love. He is a very tame and very curious hamster and I just must cuddle with him every day. As for any pet, I guess, they bring a mindful presence when spending time with them. They let you have that daily time with a soft, furry friend that gives joy and love no matter what is going on in your world. 🙏 För ett par månader sedan blev vi med hamster, inte alls planerat, men som citatet säger "Desperate times ...".

It has been some time since I updated this website and we are now facing a time where people are at home a lot  and finding ways to be creative. Some time ago I bought an air-drying clay at a local store. I don't really remember having used clay since my junior years in school. This is a soft clay and easy to mold something with your hands. Just be creative and try to form something that comes to mind. I myself got some inspiration from our cheese plant at home. I really love its leaves, so that is what my aim was, to make a leaf or a form of candlelight holder. The air-drying clay dries after a day or two and you can then paint it with some acrylic paint if you like. Mine is painted with white acrylic paint. Maybe it ends up on your shelf or  why not a little homemade present for someone, a one of a kind present. 🙏 Here is a store where you can buy air-drying clay Det har gått ett tag sedan jag uppdaterade denna websida och vi befinner oss nu i en tid där människor ä...

During the summer there is an opportunity to try different types of training at The Garden Society of Gothenburg. Some Fridays between 11-12 you can take part in Qigong on the lawn in front of the Palm House. The class is free of charge so it is perfect for if you want to try something new. 💚 Qigong is an ancient Chinese training form. Simply put, Qigong means "to move energy". I have now tested Qigong on two occasions and like it very much. It gives both time for self-compassion and mindfulness. I feel pleasantly calm and happy afterwards. Barefoot we stand with our feet in the grass with a good grounded contact. 🌱 The Qigong class has soft and slow repetitive movements where you work with mindful breathing. I achieve a nice flow where I can land in my body and slow down my thoughts. There is no talking and no music, but I really like the silence and the sense of it. Towards the end, we practise balance and concentration followed by self-massage, where you massage the enti...
