Step-by-step explanation:

The Barker article on the disease therapy cycle and mindfulness meditation does not advocate against the integration of mindfulness in healthcare. In fact, the article discusses the impact of mindfulness meditation on disease prevention and its potential benefits in disease therapy.

Mindfulness meditation is a technique that involves focusing one's attention on an internal process or external object, and it has shown promise in stress management, sleep quality, treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, and pain management (Caldwell et al., 2010; Chen et al., 2013; Freeman et al., 2010; Vøllestad et al., 2012; Reiner et al., 2013).
