Part of me is hopeful when I read the article from the NCCIH titled “Pain in the US Military and Veterans. Another part is dreadfully frustrated; $81 million dollars will be spent over 6 years on 12 research projects to prove what we already know - meditation, yoga and other “alternative”(I don’t even like that word) practices are effective in pain management and PTSD. Can’t we just skip the studies and use the $81 million to actually provide more of our veterans with these options? Because for some of them (20 veterans a day commit suicide), it will be too late if we wait 6 more years.
You can support our Veterans wherever you are by attending one of the Veterans Yoga Project Gratitude Week classes taking place in over 500 studios across the country November 8-18. Bear Foot Yoga is participating again by offering an optional donation meditation practice Wednesday November 13, 7:30-8:30 pm to benefit VYP. If you cannot attend, you can still donate directly to veterans yoga project.org.
