As a child I was drug by a horse. I found myself floating in air just above the trees. I was
peacefully watching myself lying motionless on the ground and all the activity of a friend
and family members running towards me, trying to get me to respond.

I just watched, felt no pain and wondered why I was so safe and happy looking down at
myself. Prior to that I was feeling every hoof bash against my head and stepping on
parts of my body, the sting of the gravel, my head bouncing up and down off the ground,
until I was out of my body watching myself being drug and eventually land as the horse
turned dramatically and bucked me loose. I was peaceful, but then this huge sense of
panic hit me when I saw my mother approaching me and I felt like I needed to get back in
my body: NOW!

Suddenly I felt everything there was to feel all at once. I entered my body as if
someone punched me in the solar plexus so hard as to knock all the wind out of me. I
woke up hours later in the hospital and tried to explain everything that happened. They
blamed it on the concussion and I dismissed it for years as there was no one to talk to,
books to read or TV shows to help me understand...until years later. I look back and I
am grateful for the experience that I may share, the peace, knowing that all is well, that
we may have an exit point to choose to stay or go.
