Yoga instructor recalls 'spiritual' ordeal while stranded in a Hawaiian forest for 17 days. More here

- The yoga instructor rescued after 17 days lost in a Hawaii forest reserve recounted on Tuesday sleeping in wild boar dens, trudging shoeless through a rocky stream and dining on plants to survive a “spiritual boot camp” that tested her will to live.

She recalled lying down on a fallen tree to close her eyes and meditate, then becoming disoriented as she resumed her hike, unsure which direction led back to her car. She acknowledged feeling despair at times, especially when helicopters flew over the forest without spotting her as she frantically waved her arms to draw their attention. That happened about 20 times, she recalled, adding “I felt invisible.”Eller said she used meditation to calm herself and gained strength from what she described as a “very loud clear message” internally urging her on.

Why given this so much coverage..

Did she have a broken leg? You can walk rather far in 17 days

Beautiful and outstanding story!

No compass, no supplies, improper footwear for hiking, and far too much arrogance that she wasn't going to get lost. While this might not happen often on Maui it does across the U.S. wherever people decide to go hiking without being prepared.

Getting lost in a Hawaiian forest is like getting lost in your own garden. But hey, people needs attention these days.

Just another privileged white women getting “stuck” in Hawaii jungle. -pun intended

How long do I have to stay lost to get a book deal? Oh that long!

This storey,with a happy ending, could make the basis of a movie

The other word for is hallucination

I’m not buying it

I feel like we all know something is fishy about this story and that's why even the media keeps reporting on it. It's surviving the crazy turnover of our media cycle and she has already been found and is fine. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one.

Can't help but be deeply cynical about this. It seems like complete bullshit.

I’m not sure if I believe this whole story..
