To the left are my Mandalas. These were used as 'spiritual tools' by Rosemary Alden, one of the providers. I made the bottom one on the first day and the top one on my last day. Very insightful!
I've been in therapy for years and have tried MANY different types of therapy techniques and modalities. Full disclosure...I am a yoga instructor and fully believe my yoga practice and breath work are both life-savers...but THIS WEEK with Save A Warrior was like nothing I've ever done before.
After thinking about it for over two weeks....I think the reason this program had such a huge impact on me and the seven other guys is because....EVERYONE CARES! It is very apparent. All of the providers and the behind the scenes folks give it all they got.
IF YOU know someone who is suffering from PTSD, or if you think you know someone who is suffering from PTSD, send an email today: info@saveawarrior.org
YOU can SAVE A WARRIOR TODAY!
Not treated like a # in line at the V.A. - yes, they care. They are that support system that is needed. From mad at the world to hope....

ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog Chris. Your Actions and words reveal your journey. I am still examining my experience trying to find out the how and why it is so magical. There is something more than the pieces. The whole is what makes it amazing. Congratulations on your own evolution. Excelsior.
