Hi Divi,
I just wanted to share with you something that happened to me recently. I have been coming to your yoga studio with irregular regularity (if that makes any sense!), for over a year now. I bought a fast, new motorcycle a couple of months ago (a 2005 Ninja ZX6 636, if you know anything about bikes). Anyways, last week while riding my motorcycle, a truck hit me. Pretty brutal, I know! What actually happened is that a truck that was parked on the side of the road all of a sudden pulled a U-turn right in front of me…. apparently he didn’t even see me. There was no room/time to avoid the accident, forcing me to crash head on into the side of the truck. My body was thrown forward and I hit my pelvic area on the windshield of the bike with so much momentum that I flipped and was thrown straight up into the air and came down and landed on the hood of the truck.
The accident was on the 5 o’clock news. My bike was completely written off…there is no front end left at all. Looking at the bike and the accident, I would’ve thought that the rider was wither killed or permanently disabled as a result. I was placed on a spine board at the scene and rushed to hospital by ambulance. I walked out of the hospital 4 hours later with no major injuries…NOT EVEN A SCRATCH OR A BRUISE…just a sore back and neck; probably some soft tissue damage.
The reason that I’m sharing this story with you is that I believe that the minimal injuries I received were due to two things; firstly God watching over and taking care of me. Secondly, I swear it has got to be the yoga. It’s like I was so loose and flexible I just rag-dolled and didn’t receive many injuries. I can’t explain it, but considering the severity of the accident, my injuries are so minimal, it’s a miracle. Again, I think that someone was watching over me, but I really believe that the yoga helped my injuries to be minimal.
I just thought that you might be interested in hearing my story. It’s been a week since the accident…I’m hoping to be healed up enough to get back to yoga next week!
