I have a strange situation. I was involved in a motorcycle accident, and at the time I was thrown to the ground, I was embraced by a man in a white suit. Though my right leg was fractured in the accident, I didn't have another scratch on me. I'm wondering who this man in the white suit was and if I'm right in assuming he was some sort of guardian angel.

My mother was an Angel Expert; she studied Angels like other people study foreign languages. Long before it was popular to wear representations of Angels, she was drawing and painting them as she saw
them. I know that sounds like pretty spooky stuff, but she was a pretty spooky person! For example, she loved Gustave Dore's scary etchings.
In the early seventies, she produced beautiful jewelry of 24 Angels based on the Astrological calendar. No one bought them. Back then, people weren't wearing Angels in every buttonhole or hanging them from cell phones, over doorways and in their cars.
Mama's research led her to believe that each Sun Sign has an Archangel and a Messenger Angel. For instance, as a Sagittarius, I have Michael for my Archangel and Sizyahasel as my Messenger Angel. Michael is the Archangel for Fire Signs, Gabriel for Water, Uriel for Earth and Raphael for Air.
There are twelve Messenger Angels, one for each Astrological Sign. They are quirky and moody and expect us to believe in them on Faith and accept their help and advice without question. Documentation of this came from The Book of Enoch, which is another one of those Apocryphal texts that got left out
of the Christian Bible.
Angels appear to most children as Creatures of Light. They are often seen in long white robes and are usually much larger than regular people. It's said that we see
them (on the rare occasions that we are allowed to do so) at times when we are in danger, sorrow or some kind of trouble.
While some Angels have lived lives on Earth as humans, I believe that Angels like the one YOU saw have always been Angels and never lived in human form. Lately I've been reading and hearing that we frustrate our Angels quite a bit with our behavior. They can help us out of horrible situations and advise us on all sorts of problems, but they can't force us to accept their help and advice.
I guess that's part of being an Angel: to be once removed
from our lives in ways that we don't fully understand. Of course, if they COULD control what we do, the world would be a much nicer place!
Since the mental pictures most of us have of Angels involve Beings of Light in white robes, it makes perfect sense to me that these days, Guardian Angels might be a bit more modern and dress in white suits.
A fractured leg is a pretty big deal to me, but I understand how much worse your motorcycle accident might have been. That person in a white suit MUST have been an Angel; otherwise you would have wound up as highway goo!

Yes, you were definitely protected by a guardian angel or one of your spirit guides when this accident occurred. When people are involved in a life-threatening situation, they often see and hear things of a spiritual nature that they would not typically notice in their day-to-day activities.
It's not unusual for those who have survived near-death experiences to recall the phenomenon of seeing their lives flash before their eyes.
If they have been pronounced dead but a few minutes later returned to life, they often describe being surrounded by a white light and seeing loved ones who have passed over waiting to greet them.
During the shock and trauma of this accident, your spiritual vision was keener than usual, which enabled you to recognize your guardian angel beside you. His embrace and protection were definitely what prevented this accident from being worse.
When people experience life-threatening situations, their spiritual abilities may reveal themselves quite suddenly, which is why you saw your guardian angel at that very moment. Now that you have healed, you will begin to notice more synchronistic events and encounters with spirits because you'll be more open to them.
If you would like to know more about this mysterious man in white who appeared out of nowhere to protect you, there are a few ways to go about it.
First, set aside a half an hour or more for a guided meditation. Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed so that you can concentrate on the accident and what you remember about it. Light a few white candles and some sage incense. Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind. Then either describe what you remember in as much detail as possible or sketch a picture of the man in the white suit. (You can also do both!)
Once you have a mental picture of your guardian angel and have refreshed your memories of this incident, meditate for the next fifteen or twenty minutes, asking him to reveal himself and how he came to be there just when you needed him. You may discover his name during this meditation, along with his purpose for being in your life.
He may be a loved one who has passed over, such as a grandfather, father or uncle figure. He may be a guardian angel who has protected you since you were a young child, and if this is the case, he may reveal other instances when he kept you from harm.
Forming a conscious connection with your spirit guide will provide you with a new sense of confidence and trust that you are never truly alone in life, and are always spiritually protected.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!
I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
