Jevning, R.; Wilson, A. F.; O’Halloran, J. P.; and Walsh, R. N. Forearm blood flow and metabolism during stylized and unstylized states of decreased activation. American Journal of Physiology 245 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 14): R110– R116, 1983.
Forearm oxygen consumption declined markedly during Transcendental Meditation due to a decreased rate of tissue oxygen extraction. These findings indicate reduced metabolism in muscle tissue and reflect a unique state of deep rest.
