What's possible for you? Do you ever question your potential? When you next doubt what you're capable of, I want you to think about my  guest ö-Sel Nyima who rebuilt herself after a near fatal accident and then went on to build a business.

ö-Sel was 25 when she was hit by a car. Almost every bone in her body was broken and her arm so badly damaged doctors considered amputation. She should have died. Instead she spent months in hospital nursing her many injuries, including a brain injury which had left her with amnesia and no sense of test or smell.

After a year of physiotherapy she was signed off by the health service, but in her own words she still 'walked like a badly engineered robot' and her senses had not recovered. For ö-Sel, a practicing buddhist and meditator, that was simply not good enough.

So, she undertook to rehab herself.

 Yoga has taught me so much about the mindbody connection and our considerable capacity to heal so it's great to hear ö-Sel talk more about this in today's podcast.

Tune in to hear about the mixture of practices that helped with her FULL and miraculous recovery, and how she now helps others discover their own inner healer through her business Clearlight Bodymind Awareness.

Here's a glimpse of some of the stuff you won't want to miss.
