I am reading a book called Waking, by Matthew Sandford. It is a memoir and describes a terrible accident that leaves 13 year old, Matthew, a paraplegic for life. Matthew describes his mind body journey in depth and it leads him to begin the practice of yoga. In his healing journey he turns to yoga as a centerpiece in his daily life. He discovers the deepest of insights in the mind body connection and the distance and silence between the two. The struggles he goes through are heart breaking, yet his strength and courage always carry him. Matthew eventually becomes a yoga teacher. Today he teaches yoga and specializes in adapting the practice for those with disabilities. He has founded the nonprofit organization Mind Body Solutions and speaks nationally about the mind-body relationship. www.matthewsandford.com
This is a fascinating read and I highly recommend it.
