Filter by:Effect of Subtle Energy Transmission and Tao Calligraphy Mindfulness Practice on Telomere Length in Peripheral Blood Leukocytes A Follow-up Pilot Study The goal of this Pilot clinical trial is to learn if a Subtle Energy Transmission and Tao Calligraphy Mindfulness Practice works to increase Telomere Length in Peripheral Blood Leukocytes in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does A Subtle energy transmission and Tao Calligraphy Mindfulness increase Telomere Length in Peripheral Blood Leukocytes in adults? - Will this increase of Telomere Length in Peripheral Blood Leukocytes in adults be statistically significant? Researchers will compare the length of Telomere in peripheral blood Leukocytes at beginning of the mindfulness practices to the length of Telomere in peripheral blood Leukocytes at 3 months and at 9 months of regular daily practices. Participants will: - Receive a transmission of Subtle energy at beginning of practices - Visit the Laboratory for a blood sample taken at beginning, at 3 months and at 9 months of practices. - Fill the Study Questionnaires at beginning, at 3 months and at 9 months of practices. - Practice the Mindfulness with Tao Calligraphy daily 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the evening.

The telomere system stabilizes the chromosomes. Telomeres are shortened during senescence, in cases of genetic instability and secondary to stress. The investigators aim is to study the telomere system in cord blood and in the placenta immediately after the delivery in pregnancies defined as high risk pregnancies following sterss events such as placental insufficiency, preeclampsia, diabetes. The investigators intend to compare the telomere system in maternal blood to cord blood and to placental biopsies and to study the influence of different stressogenes on this system.
