Let me share with you the comments of three soldiers who expressed their gratitude for aid they received from the HeartMath Military Service Appreciation Fund:
‘A New Way to Deal with Pain’
To deal with all the pain I felt after I got back, I self-medicated for several months with alcohol and marijuana, but after weaning off of both, I was determined not to use narcotics of any kind to cope with the pain. Being part of this experimental HRV biofeedback (emWave) program has changed my life and given me a practical, nonmedicated way to reduce the pain and handle the stress. The benefits of heart-rate-variability biofeedback are so much better than medication because I am learning a way to self-regulate anywhere, anytime without risk of dependency or that drugged feeling. – Soldier 1
‘From Head to Heart’
The verifiable transition from head to heart has been a significant factor in the progress I have made during the last six months…. I seem to have found a core of feeling that I didn’t know existed. – Soldier 2
‘Able to Feel Again’
Just being able to feel again has probably been the most significant growth area that I have personally experienced. Most of us combat veterans have not even realized that we were disconnected and had literally lost feeling; it was ‘just the way things were.’ Personally, I feel as though I have spent the last forty years in an emotional fog that has just recently begun to lift, a little. I have really begun to feel music instead of just hearing or listening to it, along with sensing the pain others may be experiencing. – Soldier 3
