Mindful Exercise

Metarobics, Healing, and the Power of Tai Chi: A Revolutionary New Understanding of Why Mindful Healing Works

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.

Autorenporträt

Peter Anthony Gryffin, Ph.D. has over 30 years of experience with Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga and Kung Fu. He has been a Tai Chi instructor for the Shands Arts in Medicine program, and for Fullerton College. Dr. Gryffin was an Alumni Fellow at the University of Florida, where he received his Ph.D. in Health and Human Performance. Dr. Gryffin's work has received high reception at conferences and presentations, particularly among those who had never considered these exercises, or were put off by the Qi aspects as new age. Dr. Gryffin began Yang Style Tai Chi 30 years ago, as part of his training with Shaolin and Praying Mantis Kung Fu, under a third-generation teacher, Sifu Duke YM Cheng. Dr. Gryffin personally experienced the healing power of Tai Chi, through the elimination of his scoliosis, chronic knee problems and peripheral neuropathy. He used Metarobic theory to maximize health benefits for himself and his students, including three students with non-responsive cancer.
