“The Miracle of Love: An Inspired Story of Self-Healing from Quadriplegia”

In 1986 Massage Therapist Laurel Duran’s life literally turned upside-down in a car crash during which her spirit left this world. At the time of the crash, her life was a shambles. Just two months in recovery from alcoholism, with her divorce just days away from being finalized, her bank account was empty because the health club she owned was failing financially. And beneath it all, the insidiously guilt-driven inner roots of her childhood religion reminded her that these (apparent) failures were all her fault.

And then… in a single moment… her spirit left this world. She shared a blissful near-death experience of unconditional love with the Creator before returning to her paralyzed body. (The neck-breaking crash took place on a road called Breakneck Hill Road!) While allopathic medical professionals informed Laurel that her spinal cord was irreparable, and she must accept the permanence of quadriplegia, they hadn’t bargained for the irrepressible, resilient spirit in this feisty Irish-American patient. Just 2 months after the crash, Laurel hobbled out of the hospital on her own power, and with a halo vest still screwed to her scull, she proudly paddled herself and 2 friends across a quiet little lake in a canoe! Within 6 months she had returned to administering Massage Therapy with a very different perspective on the true nature of healing (“All healing is Self healing”), and within a year of her fatal crash, she was jogging 2 miles daily. Today she runs 4 miles daily and her vibrantly healthy spirit is as filled with enthusiasm as ever!

“I am still excited by the miraculous nature of self-healing. During my near-death experience, it was so joyfully clear to me that a broken neck and spinal cord were tiny things for the Creator’s Love to completely heal. In heaven I knew what it felt like to be completely healed, and that’s the memory I came back with. I came back to share it with others. Now, if a person – like me, for instance - receives verification of unconditional healing power directly from the Source of all the Universe, well… it’s pretty unlikely they’d put their trust in a manmade institution that literally banks on the inevitability of going down with a sick ship of body. I just don’t buy into it, and I hope you won’t either! I had my share of funny, dramatic and harrowing hospital drama, and being a person who loves to provide exciting entertainment, I enjoy passing it on to you. But remember that no matter what, as long as you live and breathe, there is hope of your healing. Just keep your hands open to heaven and ask them to help you. No matter what. Keep those hands open, palms up!” - Laurel Duran
