This is a short pebble on the anxiety road for members of the military, vets and family members. Meditation isn't about the woo-woo, it is about giving your body what it needs to recover. That can mean breathing or mindfulness practices. 

There are meditation podcasts specifically for the military and two apps that help you get a grip on your treatment practices.
