Buddhist mindfulness and meditation are quite simply the teaching and training of how our mind works and how, over time, with the right training, we can change the way the mind works.
In Buddhist mindfulness and meditation, we purposefully work with the mind to strengthen it, make it flexible and a useful powerful tool to radically increase mental capacity and quality.
The teachings Morten offers are modern and practical, where the focus is on direct application in everyday life, where work and career must balance with family, close relationships and leisure interests.
Furthermore, the teaching is in a secular format, which means that the religious aspect of the Buddhist teachings is omitted.
Siegen is my Buddhist name, given to me by my sensei Shomon Pia Trans, and means holy source.
"Meditation at work could sound like luxury but it is actually a fantastic way to get grounded and focused. Afterwards, you are basically a better version of yourself. With Morten as your teacher, it is a wonderful experience."
— Lene Hylling Axelsson, Senior Vice President - Novo Nordisk A/S.
Satipaṭṭhāna is the Buddhas teachings on the foundations of Sati (Mindfulness). Mindfulness practice enhances focus, clarity, and emotional intelligence, which are essential qualities for success in today's fast-paced and competitive world.
Buddhist meditation provides a unique framework and method for mastering the basic functions of the mind. It enhances awareness of our attention and strengthens concentration, enabling a deeper connection to the present moment with quality and clarity.
I offer impactful workshops and keynotes inspired by Buddhist mindfulness and meditation. Perfect for off-sites, team building, and kick-offs, they provide valuable insights and practices to enhance well-being and mental capacity.
“Most in our team hadn’t tried meditation before, and plunging in at work did take a bit of courage and opening of mindset.
Afterwards, everyone agreed it had been a valuable and important experience – not least holding up the mirror to reflect on what it means to be aware and attentive around others.”
