2. Deep Breath - An auto-reflexive account of a collective journey into the healing practices of shared, embodied, breathing meditation
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Religionshistoria och religionsbeteendevetenskapSammanfattning : When we first encounter past traumatic experiences in ourselves, we are left with a conundrum; how are we to move forward in our everyday lives and thrive, rather than just cope and survive? By participating in the Belly2Belly ritual, providing analytical reflections and a detailed account from an auto-reflexive perspective, I attempt in this thesis to show, through the Belly2Belly ritual, how participants progress from a state of ill-being into a state of well-being, a form of evolution of well-being. This, it can be argued, takes form when the ritual participants are provided with the opportunity to engage with their unconscious habitus and autonomous physiological reactions through embodiment of intimacy.

4. Non-dualism, natural science and what contemporary artistic practices have to say about it
Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/HDK-Valand - Högskolan för konst och designSammanfattning : In this essay I intend to investigate what role contemporary art plays in the exploration of fundamental aspects of reality - and the importance of it.

5. Mose Ting
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskapSammanfattning : The aim of this essay is to apply the theories of metaphor from Conceptual Metaphor Theory on a work of allegorical interpretation of the Bible – more specifically, Gregory of Nyssa’s The Life of Moses – and discuss what theological questions and perspectives arises from that. My primary question is thus: how can Gregory of Nyssa’s way of interpreting, and giving meaning to, objects in The Life of Moses be understood through Conceptual Metaphor Theory? By analyzing nine physical objects, I show that Gregory throughout the work highlights aspects of sensory impressions, basic knowledge, and orientational factors, which governs how he accredits an object meaning symbolically.
