Conversations With a Former Quadriplegic S2E21
After a difficult military deployment, Leland Holgate decided to get some rest & relaxation. There was a boating accident and Leland was left as a quadriplegic. He was told that this could be his condition for life, so he asked the nurses to move his arms and legs. After the first couple of days he started feeling tingles down his mid back and feeling came back to his upper body. It took about 2 months for most of the feeling to come back and to gain the ability to walk assisted. Unbeknownst to him, his physical therapist was using yoga postures to help with his recovery. He was walking normally in about a year. Following the boating accident and amazing recovery, Leland fell into a cycle of emotional pain, alcohol, and hard street drugs. After a few years, he was introduced to a yoga program. He noticed the more he practiced yoga, the more his pain diminished and his mind focused. Leland knew he had found his calling when he started training to become a yoga instructor. Further down the line, he became a 500-hour E-RYT, Fitness instructor, and also became a trauma informed yoga instructor, working in somatic based therapies with Trauma Recovery Yoga. For about the last 5 years, he has helped create space for others to find themselves and overcome physical & mental limitations through yoga. Although Leland knew he was on the right path, the challenges didn’t stop. In 2016 his military father committed suicide and became part of the over 22 of our servicemen and women who take their lives every day. He decided that it was his calling to show our military brothers and sisters how to find balance, and transition back to civilian life after military service. So he created Warriors for Life America. A non-profit concentrating on bringing balance back to the lives of our Military, Veterans, and first responders. Leland is excited to make a difference and he loves to add value to others’ lives. In 2019, Leland was in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Thankfully, in 2017 a friend gave him the book “Becoming Supernatural”, and it changed his life. He practiced the pineal gland meditation every morning, and did at least 2 to 3 blessings of the energy centers. Within two weeks he was able to move his toes slightly, and move his legs with assistance. Leland was released home, and began the process of physical therapy. After almost 7 months, Leland was able to walk with assistance. Within a year of the accident, he was able to walk unassisted, so he got back to yoga and normal activities. Since that time, he has dedicated himself to helping others do the same, and introduce everyone he knows, and come into contact with, to Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work. We have helped thousands with our nonprofit, and now with The Willful Warrior we can help many more!
