I walked out healed

Phillip Hockley

I had decided to take the vows of a monk. I accepted that there might not be long left for me in this life. I devoted my days to spiritual devotional meditations. This gave me strength, deeper and deeper peace—this despite my grave physical condition.

I used to be a ski instructor and a successful businessman. I had two small companies, organizing skiing trips and summer schools. It was a long way from there to being registered as physically handicapped. In my own words, I was "a basket case."

As a child, I had had a bone disease. It left me with one leg shorter than the other and curvature of the spine. That didn't stop me from living an active sporting childhood. I played soccer and tennis, surfed and cycled. I remained an active sportsman after leaving school.
