Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 I just came back from Anandpur Sahib last night.I almost lost my life via an elecrical shock earlier yesterday. I was removing an extension cord from the toaster on the brick patio and the cheapshit connection came somewhat, loose in my hand. I was barefoot on what seemed to be dry brick so I think both leads must have made contact with my hand. No one could hear my screams and my hand would not let go of the cord. My whole body was kicking and bucking as I was trying to pull my self away but I was frozen. Luckily I jerked violently enough to pull the head off the cord and hand slid off the end of the cord. If my hand didn't slip past the head I do believe I would have died or least been hospitalized. The electrical system over here is 240 volts, not the 110 volt system we are used to in the US. My brain had a very unusual warmth today while easing my way through yoga. It felt really quite nice! Hmmmmmmm.... Maybe Electroconvulsive therapy is good. I know of a young girl who died many years ago from an electrical shock in India. It's maybe my salvation that I had laughed to the point of tears just minutes before and my Sadhana was strong. My system was able to handle this current without permanent damage...I think. I must admit that I am in another zone for the time being.
