- The Nordic countries have witnessed the growth of various Eastern practices, such as yoga, meditation, tantra, and acupuncture, among others. These practices have been adopted in contexts where overt religious expressions may be challenging, such as in public schools, health care, and corporate settings, often marketed as health-promoting and stress-reducing techniques. This volume aims to explore the reception, development, and construction of Eastern practices in the Nordic countries, with a focus on embodied practices related to religiosity, alternative medicine, spirituality, and healing. The anthology seeks to discuss issues such as the reception of Eastern practices in the Nordic countries, the contexts in which these practices are practiced, practitioners’ characteristics and views, theoretical perspectives on religious change and secularization, the relationship between science and practices, and historical aspects. The “Easternization” process, which involves the exchange of ideas and practices between East and West, has led to the incorporation of Eastern practices into Western cultural contexts and has influenced fields such as somatic psychology and mind/body therapies. Some of these practices, such as mindfulness, have become “crossover practices” used by individuals from different religious and cultural backgrounds, in various domains such as religion, wellness, science, and the market. This chapter introduces the themes and gives an overview of the twelve chapters included in the volume.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Cultural exchange between Sweden and East Asia began in earnest with the establishment of the Swedish East India Company in 1731. In the second half of the nineteenth century, the Swedish missionary movement and Theosophy constituted important contexts for the way in which Swedes engaged with East Asian religious traditions. Today, Buddhism is relatively well-established, and the umbrella organisation The Swedish Buddhist Community serves more than 11,000 individuals. Several practices related to spirituality and alternative medicine with a connection to East Asia are widespread, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (primarily acupuncture), qigong and reiki-healing. Concepts like qi/ki also play a role in several systems of martial arts. Research on alternative spirituality is strong in Sweden, and some of these practices have been mapped from this perspective. However, scholarship on East Asian diasporic communities is limited.
