Mindful Exercise - Metarobics, Healing, and the Power of Tai Chi: A revolutionary new understanding of why mindful healing works

This groundbreaking book demonstrates the link between health and metarobics, the author's term for slow, meditative exercises that enhance blood oxygen saturation, diffusion, and oxygen-based metabolism. Metarobics-- including tai chi, qigong, and yoga-- focus on movement, relaxation, and deep breathing. Dr. Gryffin's research shows that mindful exercises offer a wide range of benefits for treating chronic disease.--Publisher.
