I was leaving my mother's home and stopped to get gas. As I left the station, there was a stop light and I had a stop. I was relaxed and not anxious to get on the road so I was not really paying attention to what was behind me. I sat for a minute at the light, and then felt a huge impact from behind me. I was pushed into the middle of the highway and into the opposite lane as well. My back just tightened up and I was very afraid as I watched oncoming traffic coming at me and the fear of being hit from the front side. My driver door was on that side, it was a very frightening scene in my head. But in all this I noticed a tow-truck go around me and he stopped ahead in the next street. I thought, 'oh good, he is going to help me get out of harms way.' He got out the truck and walked around his truck then got back in. I saw him very clearly. I was angry and at the same time still very fearful. Cars were still coming at me. I left my body. I feel a rush of what was like air going through my mind. It was about for thirty or forty seconds. Then a car pulled up right next to me and stopped at my car door. He said, 'Get out and I will stop the other cars.' I got out and stood on the side of the road, thinking, 'What the heck happened?' I was driving a small Mitsubishi car and was hit by a huge tow-truck. How was I able to walk and talk? I looked to see the man who was in the car that shielded me from the oncoming cars and enable me to get out of my car without being hit. But there was no one. The next thing I knew, a police officer drove up beside me and took my statements as to how I was rear-end etc. I told him someone helped me. He asked where the man was and if he could get his statement. He saw no one either. I said I could identify the tow-truck. He put a call in and had me move my vehicle. Then he said, 'They have been looking for a tow-truck in the area that was involved in thefts, would you please come with me to identify it?' I said, 'Yes' and we drove to the criminal's house. I had a perfect description of the man because I saw him so well when he got out to walk around his truck. Later they found the truck hidden in the garage. They knew he had been driving it because of the warmth of the engine, and arrested the man. I called my mother on a cell phone to say where my car was and my father came and got me. I would have never seen what the guy looked like if he hadn't got out. I was very aware at that time.

And as my car in a different town from where I live, I didn't think I could have moved, but nothing wrong but fear. As I was out of my body I felt this beautiful Angel presence, a warmth and calming feeling come into, over, me just surrounded me. I was able to recall when EMDR was done on me two months later because I was left with panic attacks. I heard the most beautiful voice when I was out of my body 'Your name is Liv not Di.' Simple and funny I know that was my Angel's way of reassurance as I had things to do still and they sent the man in the car to shield me, as well as allowing me to walk and talk and see the criminal that hit so he could be stopped. I know The Angels are humorous and loving and they have guided me throughout my life and they tell me always to keep things Light.
