Faysal Abi is an old friend of mine who I first met over five years ago in the Tenderloin area of San Francisco. We were both police officers working a beat. Faysal was an interesting dude to say the least, as I found he was one of the few who shared some of my same “woo-woo” interests, such as: essential oils, meditation/mindfulness, and yoga. Faysal was also much more spiritual and grounded than most police officers I had met. Faysal and I also shared a common bond as we were both “laterals,” officers from different agencies. I lost touch with Faysal after he left San Francisco, and lateraled to another agency. About a year later, I heard he was in a bad car accident that forced him to quit police work altogether. He faced depression, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and numerous physical injuries. However, through his deep spiritual practices; breath work, bodywork, yoga and much more, Faysal recovered and reinvented himself. He tells an amazing story of what it was like to go through depression and come out the other side. He also has some hacks and recommendations for any listener that under goes the same trauma.
