I thought I share this experience. Of course, I don't know if I used my Chi to save me or not. I am a serious cyclist (you know, those cyclists riding a $1000 bicycle and all decked out like a pro LOL). I was riding home from my daily training ride. I was going about maybe 23 to 24 mph. I was about to cross the intersection and it was green light. I have the right of way. Because there was no car behind me, I decided to take up the whole road, right in the middle of it. As I was about to cross the intersection, a black SUV accelerated from a dead stop and decided to stop right in the middle of the intersection, right in my path. He went through the red light to do this. Why? He hates cyclists, maybe??? Don't know. I slammed my brakes. I was maybe within 30ft hitting right side of his SUV. Is it even possible within the law of physics to stop fully with a moving vehicle going at 23 mph within a 30ft distance? All I remembered was that I hit the both brakes and preparing for the impact. Something happened.

My back wheel locked up and causing me to power slide to my left. Almost like something was cushioning me from the front and redirecting my forward velocity. I came to a full stop facing parallel as the SUV. There was only a foot of space between me and the SUV when I came to a full stop. At this point, I was doing a track stand for couple of seconds. I rode around the SUV and yelled at this grown ass man, with his kid next to him, if he was crazy. I saw his face at this moment. I saw his rage in his eyes. He would be the type person that would gun down a group of people because he has lost his job or some other #s.

I then rode back home as if nothing has happened...

I don't normally get myself into a life threatening situation. Is hard to say if I was projecting my Chi outward to protect me from physical harms. I used Chi a lot on the mental and mind level.

Come to think of it, the distance was more like 20ft or so...

Physics..?

Sensationalism - not Chi...

LOL...don't know. If I will come back from another life threatening situation, I make sure I will update here....

Did it feel as though time slowed down for you. I have dodged the reaper several times now as cyclist, motorist and pedestrian.Every time, I pulled an evasive manouver during which it seemed like time slowed allowing me to do so.I'm guessing adrenaline has something to do with it or else the phenomenon is merely the product of corrupted memory.

It's weird though as I seem to remember a lot of detail from such incidents almost as though for that second or two I have a photographic memory. I can only assume that the some(but not all) of the other parties in the incidents underwent the same reaction and our collective reactions prevented the accident.

Maybe a little. All I remember was that I wasn't looking at anything. My attention was in a meditative state, looking within, and knowing that I am about to hit the SUV head on. I didn't apply any more pressure on the brakes. Any harder I will lockup the wheels, which can lead to unpredictable results. First, I heard the roar of the engine. I immediately realized what he was about to do. I was about to crossing under the green light. I grabbed the brakes. I wasn't panicking, but to expect to crash to the SUV. It felt time was a bit slower. There was a moment I felt I wasn't moving at all. Then, next thing I remembered was that I was power sliding in a controlled movement. Throughout the whole incidence I didn't un-clip from my pedals. I was on the bike the whole time.

Sorry guys, I don't believe in the pop's psychology of adrenalin theory. Believe me, I race bike too. If you suck in racing, you can't be in one day a super cyclist winning major races just because you have the adrenalin pumping. You can't perform super human deeds without training, without having anticipated your actions, unless you dope. Adrenalin would not allow you to preform physical actions beyond what you genetically capable of doing. In the endurance sports such as cycling, it is your VO2 Max output which is largely genetically determined. That's why we have someone like Lance Armstrong the rest of us are just a mere human.

Maybe you used your chi,or maybe it was your brains amazing drug laboratory coming into play.

When you are in a life threatening situation,your brain can perform some incredible feats-It can slow down time,give you millisecond reactions,save your life without your conscious brain even having time to catch up.

A similar thing happened to me a few times.
