2. Emotional Suffering Instead of Physical Pain
The second theory suggests a kind of balance: those who avoid physical injury may be destined to experience deeper emotional challenges instead.
Stiles explains that, symbolically, a stronger physical body could be a way of compensating for emotional hardship. In this view, not breaking bones isn’t luck—it’s part of an internal resilience designed to handle life’s emotional weight.
This idea struck a chord with many followers, who commented that while they’d never broken a bone, emotional pain had certainly been part of their journey. Some even joked that they must have received the “premium emotional suffering package.”
3. Reincarnation and Spiritual Strength
Another explanation draws from the concept of reincarnation, the belief that the soul is reborn into new lives.
According to this theory, never breaking a bone could symbolically mean that your soul has already endured and overcome physical trauma in past lives. As a result, this lifetime places less emphasis on physical injury and more on other forms of growth.
Stiles suggests that “strong spiritual bones” developed over previous incarnations may make physical harm less necessary in this one. For believers in reincarnation, this idea reframes physical safety as a deliberate soul-level choice rather than coincidence.
4. Ancestral Connection
The final theory focuses on ancestry and cultural symbolism. In many traditions, bones are considered sacred, representing lineage, strength, and ancestral wisdom.
Stiles proposes that never breaking a bone could reflect a deep connection to one’s ancestors, with their resilience and protection flowing through generations. For some followers, this idea felt especially meaningful.
Several people shared stories of engaging in high-risk activities—horse riding, sports, intense physical work—yet somehow escaping serious injury time and again. They described it as more than luck, viewing it as ancestral or spiritual protection guiding them through life.
