Motorbike Zen

The healing power of the motorbike

Motorbike Zen

There is something about riding a motorcycle.  I don’t  mean simply using your bike for your daily commute to work and back, though that has its own enjoyment as well.  The more you ride though, the more you realize that motorbiking is really a metaphor for life.   To those that ride, they know there a zen state that can be achieved as they cruise down the road.  A zen state that can be calming, soothing, and even healing.

Books, movies, and the internet abound with stories of the personal healing individuals have achieved while riding their motorcycle.  There are many, many more stories out there that  we don’t get to hear about though.  Not everyone’s story can be made into a movie, and writing a book is definitely not an idea of fun and interesting for most people, but everyone’s story should be heard.  It is important that everyone’s story be heard because all too often when we face challenges in life it is too easy to put ourselves in a box and think no-one else has had to deal with the same problems.  Finding others with similar experiences that have successfully faced and conquered these challenges can help us and give us strength as we strive to move forward.

We encourage you to add your stories of motorcycles and healing to this site.
