Really. Every single day, without fail. It isn\u2019t made of precious metals, or any sort of <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/guide-to-healing-stones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">healing stones<\/a>. It isn&#8217;t to symbolize intentions of love. No one was tying a knot, intentions of peace or wholeness infused in the process. I\u2019m quite sure the creator wasn\u2019t thinking much of anything at all, actually. If I had to guess\u2014which is totally a guess\u2014I\u2019d say that it was made by a machine that stamps out the black powder-coated piece of straight aluminum, 1 millimeter thick, and then engraved with the words that I chose and bent by my hand to fit my wrist.<\/p>\n<p>My bracelet reads: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/world\/middleeast\/la-me-ottolini14nov14-story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SFC MICHAEL C. OTTOLINI<\/a>\u201d on the top line and under that is inscribed \u201cTF TACOMA 10 NOV 04 BALAD, IRAQ\u201d. It\u2019s not a fashion piece. It is a memorial bracelet that I wear to honor my good friend who was killed in action in combat.<\/p>\n<p>It was supposed to be a 72-hour dismounted counter-insurgent operation. The mission was cut short by a deafening early morning explosion, that erupted under our eighteen thousand pound, up-armored vehicle, sending it into the air in a ball of fire and fury that killed Mike and ultimately took both of my legs below the knee, and left me living with a traumatic brain injury (TBI).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It is a memorial bracelet that I wear to honor my good friend who was killed in action in combat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a combat vet and \u201cmilitary guy\u201d I never expected that I would wind up as a yoga teacher. It actually still feels weird to say it. Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014it\u2019s not weird that I\u2019m a yoga teacher, it\u2019s just weird to say it. It\u2019s actually the most significant work I\u2019ve ever done. Let that land for a second\u2026 Let it sink in. Those words are coming from a guy who has led soldiers in combat; who has led teams in the non-profit world with great success and contributed to the success and growth of <a href=\"https:\/\/support.woundedwarriorproject.org\/default.aspx?tsid=9506&amp;ovr_acv_id=4331&amp;campaignSource=ONLINE&amp;source=BS18001&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw6J7YBRC4ARIsAJMXXsci04mFkkTan4en55tW65OHrGNk_zlqGR_LLzrtUrLF80lzH-lsLxkaAvQiEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wounded Warrior Project<\/a>, one of the most respected and largest Veterans Service Organizations. Those words are coming from a dad to three amazing daughters. The work that I find myself in now, as you probably know if you\u2019re reading this, is very powerful. It\u2019s an access to healing and self-discovery unlike anything I\u2019ve seen, and I am committed to sharing it with as many people as I can, veterans and non-veterans alike.<\/p>\n<p>You see, that explosion didn\u2019t just kill Mike and leave me with physical wounds. The explosion\u2014coupled with a myriad of other experiences and losses from combat\u2014left me with the invisible wounds of war. You\u2019ve probably heard of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I didn\u2019t have <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/meditation-helps-veterans-self-manage-chronic-pain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PTSD<\/a>. Sure, I had trouble sleeping. I had intrusive thoughts and memories that would haunt me at all times of the day and night. I retreated\u2026 and hid in plain sight. I did a damn good job of pretending that everything was OK. My marriage failed as a result, and my oldest daughter who was 10 at the time I was wounded, didn\u2019t have the best dad she could have had from 10 to 18.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptsd.va.gov\/public\/ptsd-overview\/basics\/what-is-ptsd.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PTSD<\/a>, because that is a diagnosis that you get from a mental health professional. I didn\u2019t see any mental health professionals. I was \u201ctoo tough\u201d for that. I wasn\u2019t weak so I didn\u2019t need to see a shrink. That was for people who couldn\u2019t hang, for people who were soft. Other people, but certainly not me.<\/p>\n<p>I was an idiot.<\/p>\n<p>The silver lining of my circumstance was that I actually didn\u2019t suffer for great lengths of time. Thanks to my work in the veteran\u2019s service space, I had learned many coping skills to work through the times when the invisible wounds started to fester and show their faces. I had tools to keep the resurfacing of the trauma to a minimum. The wounds were always there\u2026 mostly dormant, but there, and when they showed up I could take action to keep them at bay\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Until I couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Teaching yoga is the most significant work I\u2019ve ever done. Let that sink in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All of my coping tools were physical: riding my road or mountain bike, riding horses, playing golf, fishing, hiking, climbing mountains. It wasn\u2019t until my last surgery\u2014my thirty-sixth\u00a0to date\u2014that changed everything. While recovering from that surgery, I was homebound on one prosthetic leg and crutches. So when the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rand.org\/health\/projects\/veterans.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">invisible wounds<\/a> started to manifest, I wasn\u2019t mobile enough to do any of the physical things I would normally do to combat the demons. I was stuck, and in a bad place and sinking deeper. I wasn\u2019t suicidal, but I was on the way.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully a friend of mine convinced me (that\u2019s a whole other story) to try meditation while I was still healing from surgery. That gave way to a physical yoga practice once I was back to \u201cnormal.&#8220; I can only say that I am beyond grateful for that invitation. Her gesture of offering to help a friend who she knew was struggling, changed everything for me. I had such a profound experience on my mat, that I was enrolled in teacher training before I finished my third practice. Yoga saved my life.<\/p>\n<p>Since becoming a teacher I have dedicated myself to teaching veterans and warriors at every opportunity. Most vets that I know have memorial bracelets like I do. Some wear them, some don\u2019t, but all of them experience the void that is left by who the bracelet is for. My commitment is to do all that I can to help. I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yogajournal.com\/lifestyle\/good-karma-army-vet-dan-nevins-found-hope-yoga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">teach yoga<\/a> because, for me, before yoga I coped with combat stress, now with yoga in my life, I\u2019ve healed from it. All of it. I still have all of my memories from combat, but none of the guilt or grief that used to accompany them.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I had such a profound experience on my mat, that I was enrolled in teacher training before I finished my third practice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I have worked with hundreds of veterans and I have witnessed incredible transformations. I\u2019ve seen warriors healed as I was healed. I\u2019ve seen families that were broken, restored. I\u2019ve seen <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/transformative-power-breathwork\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">miracles on yoga mats<\/a>. \u00a0I have even recently started my own, very small non-profit called Warrior Spirit Retreat, which is intended to help warriors heal from the invisible wounds of war by using a curriculum grounded in yoga, mindfulness and meditation and integrated into the mindful-based recreational activities of golf, fishing and horsemanship on weekend and week-long retreats. This work\u2026 its everything.<\/p>\n<p>As I pause and reflect on Memorial Day. I look down at my bracelet and remember Mike and the amazing man he was. I am reminded of the men and women, heroes all, that sacrificed their lives for the cause of freedom. Memorial Day is in recognition and honor of our fallen; and the families left with the impossible feat of carrying on without them. On this day, I remember our countless heroes memorialized at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington, and all of the heroes known on memorial bracelets all over the world. This day is for them. From my perspective, there is no better way to honor them than to help heal their brothers and sisters who are still with us.<\/p>\n<p>So, this Memorial Day, I have one request of you: Invite a <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/yoga-veterans-making-difference-counts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">veteran to yoga<\/a>. You just might save their life.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<div class=\"x-text\">\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-100616\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/dan.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"250\" \/>Dan Nevins is a professional speaker who has been inspiring audiences around the world with his message of perseverance, resiliency and hope for more than a decade.\u00a0A highly decorated soldier, Dan was severely injured during combat in Iraq in 2004 after an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated beneath his vehicle.
