Have you ever changed your life in 24 hours due to traumatic experience?

I happened to me many years ago, I was almost killed by mental ill person. It was the best experience in my life. In 24 hours I decided to change my life. First, I started to understand that my problems are just temporary and are not bigger than my life. Being alive and healthy is the highest priority. My personality shifted almost overnight. I get ability to see people’s aura sometimes and I can read people I am in contact with. Have you ever changed your life almost “overnight”?

For me this change was last year. I had my readings and along with them were suggestions to deal with my problems. The person who did this had a life changing experience too, many many years ago. Since then she made it a mission to help others find their purpose in life and I was one of the lucky ones to have found her. The change was not overnight, a part of me was sceptical so it delayed the process. But as soon as I opened my heart, I felt stronger and less afraid.

I am willing to help others in this case but unfortunately I am so much a beginner and unstable. By the way thanks for opening up tell us this horrible experience, must have taken you a lot to post it

Yes. I did. It was when i was in a clinical depression and my life seemed to end, i could not stand them any more, they did not move and the sadness was too big to be handled. The tv was open and there was a lecture of deepak chopra, after the lecture ended i felt i knew what i have to do. I was filled with joy. and i did change overnight, because i did understand that my life can be filled with joy. I started to do sports outside and it helped me put my body back to balance and i started meditating. This was the best thing that ever happened to me. And today i do know that i am in control of my life without needing to control them, it just comes fluently.

Sorry to hear. I have been an object of crime many years ago. My life has not changed completely, but this trauma is still in me, deeply and it has influence in my personal contacts.

hmmm...purple is not strong in aura..it looks like "flame" and is temporary... green is for natural healers and I think that you may have healing ability...if all animals like you and are coming to you freely...you are the one...

my life didnt change overnight as far as i know it, but than again maybe it did when i was little but i think i was too younge to know what is was going on and what happend to me was that day i was very very sick and could of die if my mom and my mom didnt get me to the hospital in time, back than i was only like 4or 5 the most, so maybe i could of have changed over night

I normally get a new view on life after I've been sick. Especially if it was bad. When I feel better, suddenly the sun shines brighter, the air smells cleaner and all is right with the world! It doesn't last long though and after a while I'm back to the starting point. I wish I could permanantly feel that way.

yes, you can permanently feel this way, start to remember how you feel after sickness...and keep that stage....

I am so glad that you have survived that. Nothing like that ever happened to me before. I guess my life takes awhile to change, it doesn't happen in 24 hours at all.

I'd have to say no. Although I had some life threatening experiences, they didn't change my lifestyle, at least not immediately, but maybe over the course of time. It must have been real scary.

yes...sometimes 20 minutes in your life is much longer than 20 days...but it helps you to understand that being alive is the best gift from all...

You must have been undergone a sea change in your personality, therefore you were able to transform yourself within 24 hours. Kudos to you for your efforts. Traumatic experiences did happen with me, but not as happened with you. I learnt from the traumatic experiences and still learning. It is nice to know that you can read people with whom you remain in contact. Would you like to tell something about me, whatever you have observed about me after going through my responses (or disucssions). Shall be grateful to you. deepak

I can't do virtual reading....I have to see people and be able to touch someone's hand to get proper reading. I can guess a lot about many people based on discussions, but it is not the same....at least not the real reading when you can read peoples past and future...
