Today, more doctors than ever are prescribing tai chi for patients recovering from injury, illness, and surgery. This book presents over ten years of research into how and why tai chi benefits health from an evidence-based, medical perspective. Dr. Peter Anthony Gryffin demonstrates the link between health and metarobics, his term for slow, meditative exercises that enhance blood oxygen saturation, diffusion, and oxygen-based metabolism. Metarobics—including tai chi, qigong, and yoga—focus on relaxation and deep breathing.
Dr. Gryffin's research shows that these exercises offer a wide range of benefits for treating chronic disease. Dr. Gryffin cites numerous scientific studies as well as testimonials from patients who have experienced the natural healing benefits of metarobic exercise. Many have surmounted chronic health problems to improve their quality of life. Some even overcame grave diagnoses. This book features more than 120 scientific studies on tai chi and other metarobic exercises More than 50 case stories from tai chi qigong, and yoga practitioners Clear, straightforward language Tested guidelines to improve your metarobic exercise and maximize health benefits.
Industry Reviews
Dr. Gryffin sums it up well. 'This is an exploration of a new science of an old tradition.' Ancient mind-body practices can benefit our health and prevent disease in exponential ways through complex relationships, and Dr. Gryffin has a compelling theory of how Tai Chi does just that. He creates space for an additional type of exercise, beyond aerobics and anaerobics. This is a fascinating book that adds to the emerging paradigm shift in healthcare away from surgery and pills and back to the wisdom of our bodies. This book will likely be a primer for deeper explorations into the Metarobic concept. I for one intend to use it in my course at Saybrook University.--Natasha Edwina, LMFT
Merges meditation and exercise ... may well lead to a new definition of optimal well-being.--Rudolph E Tanzi, PhD, Author of The Healing Self
Mindful Exercise and the metarobic approach opened my eyes, and they can open yours too.--Dr. John Day, Author of The Longevity Plan
Will surely become 'the prescription' of choice for all responsible medical providers! I am enthusiastic about recommending it!--Roger Jahnke, OMD, From his Foreword
Metarobics is a new spin on validated evidence-based research on the healing abilities of Tai Chi, Qigong and Yoga. This approach is excellent. Your research and anecdotal vignettes supporting these practices will have a positive impact on health, with the idea of oxygen perfusion being a vital component for their healing abilities.--Denise DeForest Pastoor, MEd, APRN, CS, CHTP/I, CWP, RYT, Organizer of the Integrative Health Academy for the National Wellness Conference
This book is a portal that will change the way Tai Chi and Qigong are approached so that modern medical science can join hands with these ancient-mind body sciences to become co-evolutionary. This seminal work should be read, not just by all those in my own hospital classes, but by every Tai Chi and Qigong student, by every teacher of the arts, by every health professional and government health ministry or department employee, and by everyone seeking a more enjoyable and profound life, and a more abundant, clear, and healthy society.--Bill Douglas, Founder Wold Tai Chi and Qigong Day "Authr "Tne Complete Idiot's Guide to T'ai Chi & Qigong" "
