My Miraculous Recovery from a Major Car Accident

March 10, 2023 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Jilin Province, China

(Minghui.org) My husband and I, my daughter, her husband, and his parents went to my niece’s wedding on September 24, 2021. To help with the wedding, we all got up at 4 a.m. While walking there, in the rain, my daughter and I were crossing the street when a van traveling at high speed hit us. My daughter flew into the air, and I was knocked down and passed out.

My daughter was fine but I could not get up. My back and legs seemed out of commission. I asked for Master’s help (founder of Falun Dafa) and slowly I felt some strength in my legs.

My husband and son-in-law caught up with us, and helped me stand up. My face was bruised all over and my skin was scraped. My eyes were swollen shut. I was shivering in the morning chill.

Soon they took me to the hospital. The X-rays indicated that I had several fractures of the back, pelvis, and left arm. There were also multiple contusions in the leg. The doctor strongly suggested that I should have surgery on the bones to avoid becoming disabled. I insisted on going home and believed I would recover by practicing Falun Dafa exercises.

The doctor agreed to hold off on surgery but wanted me to stay in the hospital for observation.

Before my daughter left the hospital, she whispered in my ear: “Mom, do not hold grudges against anyone or anything, okay?” I realized Master was using her to remind me of my problems.

My stay in the hospital turned out to be the perfect time for me to reflect on myself. I found I had the attachments of resentment, jealousy, suspicion, and the mentality of fighting. Just the day before we left, I had a fight with my husband, suspecting him of having an affair. I asked for Master’s help and I made up my mind to take this opportunity to improve my character.

I witnessed Dafa’s healing power. When the doctors and nurses came to make rounds, they were stunned to see me sitting with my back straight, despite the fact that my pelvis, cervix, lumbar vertebrae and tailbone were all fractured. A nurse also asked me to lift up my left arm and I did. She wondered: “Didn’t she break her left arm as well? Did we misdiagnose?”

The next day the attending doctor and some additional medical staff came to see me. They said the CT scan indicated that my brain was swollen. They asked me about my vision. I said I didn’t notice anything wrong with my vision and I had no dizziness or headaches. They inquired again about surgery for my back and arm. I told them I would recover soon without it. They did not insist and left.

There was a curtain for each bed in the hospital and I sat behind it. When the nurse came to check my temperature one morning, she asked me, “Are you using an infrared lamp?” I did not understand what she was talking about. 

Later I remembered I saw another patient using an infrared lamp to warm up her circulation. I realized what the nurse saw might be energy healing me.

After five days of observation in the hospital, I was discharged. Without having had any treatment, I was able to sit in a double lotus position just a few days later. Since I could not stand yet, I began with the sitting meditation and then sat on the bed to do the hand movements for the standing exercises. I persisted despite the excruciating pain. Other practitioners also came to support and encourage me. I improved day by day and quickly recovered in full.
