Yoga, Reiki, Bio-energy treatment for the Army

According to an article in wired magazine, the US troops returning from war may soon receive treatments through alternative methods such as Yoga, Reiki, or other energy related healing. The Army just unveiled a $4 million program to investigate everything from "spiritual ministry, transcendental meditation, and yoga" to "bioenergies such as Qi gong, Reiki, and distant healing" to mend the psyches of wounded troops.

Cost is one of the reasons that the army is considering alternate means of treatment. Nearly 3,300 troops have suffered traumatic brain injury, and the lifetime costs of treating these ailments could pile up to as much as $35 billion, a Columbia University report guesses.

Dino is glad that the world is finally turning towards alternate medicine as a healing technique. The cost is definitely lower and there aren't any side effects. Such methods will also raise the spiritual awareness of the troops, and thus make this world a more peaceful place.
