Stilla Meditation

Anton Perssonwww.antonp.se
This podcast is full of live meditations. They are recorded in the context of colleagues sitting down to meditate once a week in the office of their IT-company to rest and recharge, gain more clarity and develop understanding and empathy for themselves and others. I hope they can be of similar support for you! I take inspiration from mindfulness, modern psychology and a deep understanding of human nature and how it relates to consciousness. I post more or less every week. Thank you for listening!

20250401 - Can I say Yes to this?

When we stop resisting our experience and instead accept it as it is, we find ease. The paradox is that we cannot choose to accept our experience. The only thing we can do is to ask if there is already a "Yes" to our experience and if there is not, is there a Yes to the No? And if not, is there a Yes to the No of the No? And somewhere there is a Yes for sure, because that is simply how life operates.

When was the last time you stared into space for 30 min, doing absolutely nothing? Exactly - Never!

20250121 - Airing Out The Heart Department A tribute to Björn Natthiko Lindeblad

It's three years ago since Björn Natthiko Lindeblad passed away. He was a Swedish munk in Thailand, a wonderful teacher and a big role model for me. He reminds me of the importance of kindness and how our imperfections are what makes us human. We borrow our life, our body and each other for a short time before we move on. Take care of each other and try to bring out the best in each other. While you are here you can act on your lightest intentions. Try to live a little less with closed fists and...

20250114 - Body Scan With Acceptance

In the gap between experience and response lies your freedom. Let me explain. Your reflexes makes you withdraw your hand instantly when you touch something hot. It’s not a conscious choice that you make, your body does it for you. This is a useful and healthy reaction that work to your benefit because it protects you from getting burned. Great!

20250107 - Follow The Breath

Happy New Year! 🎉 This is such a special time of change and transformation for me, and I wanted to share it with you. In December, I wrapped up my studies in musical theatre and singing—a big chapter in my life—and now I’m stepping into 2025 with a clear intention: to do what I’m here to do. ✨ Support people and businesses in living in alignment. For me, living in alignment means showing up as your true self—living and acting in a way that feels right in your heart of hearts. It’s about being y...

20241210 - Connectedness Visualisation

I thought I’d share a little about what it has meant for me to learn to meditate. Breaking Negative Patterns Increased awareness helps me identify and change negative thought and behavior patterns, like blaming others for pain that is inside of me. Improved Relationships Before, I often fell victim to my doubtful thoughts in my romantic relationships, causing them to fall apart within a few year. Becoming aware of these thoughts and learning to just observe them has made it possible for me to st...

20241126 - Loving kindness

Let’s try something! Inhale deeply. Exhale fully. Notice the pause between the end of the exhale and the next inhale. Listen to the stillness in the pause. This tiny space holds a profound teaching: rest exists within movement, stillness within activity. Even in the busiest of moments, this pause reminds us that peace is always available, hidden in the rhythm of our breath. Every time you pause, you reconnect with the quiet wisdom of simply being.

20241119 - Open to sounds

Imagine your most unwanted feelings as little children. They won’t stop acting out simply because you ignore them or push them away. What they truly need is your loving embrace, your steady presence, and your patient understanding. Only then can they relax and reveal the fears that lie beneath their behavior. Each of us carries little inner children—parts of us that feel hurt, abandoned, or unseen. Yet, these tender parts also guard our greatest treasures: our playfulness, wonder, love, and gent...
