Schuring

Schuring was a mantra I was given which restored my ability to reconnect with God and find purpose for my life. For many years after my Vietnam war experience I struggled to find peace. I have met other combat vets who also suffer from P.T.S.D. and the trauma of their wartime experience.

I am sharing my meditations in the hopes that they will be used by other vets, and their families, who still suffer from the affects of combat. Whether currently in wartime, active service or at home, I pray these meditations will facilitate bringing vets closer to their estranged families, country and their God (or what ever higher power they believe in).

I chose the smaller size format to enable the book to be carried in the nap sack like a field journal.

I have always believed in God and therefore my meditations address God as my higher power. It is not my intent to impose my personal beliefs upon others but instead to share my experience as a result of using these meditations in my daily life. The meditations can be used in any order.

Since the meditations are short and only take up a portion of the page I encourage the person using them to take the extra space on each page to journal or to write thoughts or comments. In this way the meditations can become more alive and interactive. I believe that the meditations, while simple, can be profound and encourage healing on many levels. I have kept a daily journal and used the 3 x 5 cards I created for each meditation, so that I could delve into deeper healing.

God bless my fellow veterans who have served or are still serving and their families. May you find the peace you deserve.
