My Finger Was Senseless!!!

I read The Secret 6 years ago and it changed my entire life. It is not a solution that you start to apply when you have a problem. It is a way of living for me. It means feeling gratitude, safe, secure, loved, healthy, successful, and connected to everything and to everybody.
I am a Muslim and, in fact, it is exactly what Quran teaches us. It teaches us that we are the pieces or physical extension of God in this physical world and we are going to go back to God and going to be “one piece” with God after death. It teaches us to love God, yourself, and all other existing things. It teaches us to say “thank you”. It teaches us to know that we deserve the best because we are the pieces of God.
Even though I am a healthy girl, one day I felt that my left fifth finger was senseless and tingling last year. At first I was afraid because it could be related with nerves and my spinal cord. I am a molecular biologist and I know anatomy and physiology very well. So, I started thinking about what possibly went wrong. And it could be a sign of a disease.
Then I realized that I was focusing on the worst scenario ever and I stopped thinking about the nerves. I said to myself that my hand was healthy.
The senselessness and tingling did not disappear for almost 4 months. During these 4 months I tried not to focus on my finger. I went on in my life as if it had never happened. Whenever I realized the feeling in my finger, I moved all my fingers and I felt gratitude that I had 5 full healthy fingers which I can control.
One day I realized that the feeling of tingling disappeared and I felt my finger normal. Thanks to God!
So, the feeling was not a simple tingling because I blocked the bloodstream or something like that. It might be related with the nerves because I felt that feeling in my arm along the ulnar nerve which is behind the elbow. However, I could fix it by not letting the idea of “there is a problem” feed itself.
I would like to share my story because I hope that this story inspires someone who needs to heal.
