"Take the war to the enemy, but leave the battle on the battlefield..."

Meditation... just saying the word evokes relaxation, but meditating in a combat zone?? Sounds like an oxymoron. How can one possibly meditate when the eye of war is staring you in the face?
 
Others join me in my skepticism, but the instructors of the "Warrior Mind Training" course say their practices "can treat post traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries, improve focus and better prepare soldiers and Marines for the rigors of combat. It can also improve shooting range performance and raise training test scores."

Taking elements from yoga, the Warrior Mind Training course also encompasses ancient training techniques used by samurai, including an emphasis on living in the moment. Sarah Ernst, a senior Warrior Mind instructor, said the samurai handled the carnage on the battlefield by only focusing on it during the fight.

The course is spreading through several military bases and is offered free of cost to service members.
