QUOTE : Meditation will help you to remain calm and focused in violent and chaotic situations. With regular sessions, cops and soldiers are less likely to fire out of fear, frustration, or hypervigilance. Also, warriors engaged in hand-to-hand combat are less likely to use force beyond what is necessary to end a situation. By practicing simple meditation techniques, you’re less likely to overreact, freak out, or freeze, and far more likely to remain in the present moment to assess and then do what needs to be done appropriately.
