I am a 25 year old woman brought up in a middle class family with limited means. I am fortunate enough and really blessed to have parents who never made me and my elder brother ever realize those limited means. Like many people who grow up in a limited means situation, I have always been very ambitious and high on life. I always want the best of everything. I always want to excel and be the best version of myself in whatever I do, regardless whether it is excelling in studies or sports or as little as washing dishes. I have always been a topper in my life and always performing far beyond people’s expectations.

As a child when I was in 5th grade, when the teachers would dictate the notes rather than writing it on the board, I always used to look around in my classmate’s books to write my own notes. I could never manage to directly listen to what the teachers were dictating and jot down my own notes. At the time I thought maybe I’m slow or maybe I’m not paying enough attention. Years passed and I turned into a person who could not hear a person calling from a distance at my back. I would become a person who couldn’t hear the doorbell. I would become a person who would watch TV and listen to Music at high volumes. People around me including my parents started feeling I was so lost in myself and in my thoughts. I actually sometimes became deaf to what was happening around me. I am an exceptional speaker and orator, however, often people found it hard to understand my speech. People, including me, thought that was because I spoke too fast or my accent was different.

What none of us predicted or were ready to accept was that I may actually be deaf. Why was it that when no one else had to concentrate to listen, I had to? I had to really strain to get even the hint of what was being said. It accelerated to such a point that I started pretending as if I could hear everything. I would nod my head or laugh along with others at some joke of which I had no clue about because I just couldn’t grasp the words of the speaker.

At the age of 22 when I was doing my Masters in Business Administration, it became startlingly clear that I had difficulty hearing. Until that time, neither I nor my family had ever booked an appointment with the doctor. I was diagnosed with partial deafness, having lost 70% of my hearing capacity. I remember that day crystal clear even today. Being so ambitious, being so eager to make something of myself, to prove myself, for the first time in my life I cried for myself. The best doctors had raised their hands saying that there is no cure and I would be required to wear hearing aids in both ears for a lifetime. According to them, because of my of my lack of hearing, my speech was impacted too and hence why most people found it difficult to understand me.

I accepted the fact that I would have to live with it but I promised myself that I would not let this deficiency keep me from achieving my goals and dreams. When I started wearing the aids, people would just keep staring, it was utter shock for my friends and family and colleagues who already knew me. My work colleagues would get irritated at having to repeat the stuff multiple times because even with hearing aids, sometimes certain syllables and pronunciation just could not be grasped.

I don’t know exactly when but at some point I just started to feel that I had to get out of this. That I didn’t want to live with this deficiency. I wanted to listen again and hear again like any normal person. Even at my home my parents were worried sick about how they will get me married with my deficiency. They started behaving as if they would have to take care of me my entire life.

I had first read The Secret at the age of 15 when I was full of big dreams and aspirations. It had made an impact on me then but as the years progressed, I just drifted away from all the rules and teachings. I don’t know how but 2 months ago,  I got this inspired idea to read it again. This time because I was so desperate, I formed a sort of different and deeper connection with the law of attraction and the Universe. I made it completely clear in my mind that I want to hear again like any normal person would. I started chanting the mantra “I am hearing again 100%” using the power of I AM. I had even put a deadline to it. I gave myself 2 months. I made it absolutely clear in my mind, “I am hearing again 100% by the end of July 2017”. I kept chanting this mantra in front of my genie which was my Hindu God Shri Krishna.

One month passed and nothing happened. I realized I wasn’t reacting and behaving as if I had already achieved my hearing back. So I started thanking God for giving me back my hearing power. I started visualising myself hearing everything clear cut to the point that often I would have tears in my eyes because of the happiness that it would bring me. Being short tempered that I was, I tried endlessly to be in the best happy mood I can be. My niece was my saviour there. To further make-believe, I started to write letters that I would send out to my colleagues and friends informing them of my miraculous recovery.

At the start of the second month, I came to know about this Deaf Cure Centre where they proclaimed having cured patients with even 95% of hearing deficiency. We made some inquiries about the authenticity and genuineness of this Centre. Whether there were any side effects of the cure that they provided. Finally we made a call to visit the Centre for the treatment. It was a 3 hour treatment and throughout those 3 hours and throughout our journey, I kept chanting my mantra of getting my hearing back and thanking Shri Krishna with as much feeling as I could muster.

And of course I was healed!! At the very end of 3 hours itself, I started hearing like a normal person would. We always had this habit of my father calling me and asking me different things from behind my back to check and validate the hearing aids. This time around I made him do it without any hearing aid. This time around I wanted to check my natural hearing. I had tears in my eyes. My parents had tears in their eyes. It was a lifetime dream come true for me. I was hearing again!!!!

All of this because of Rhonda Byrne. I don’t know her motive behind writing this book. Maybe it was commercial success or maybe she truly wanted to bring about and share this great knowledge with the world. No matter what, she has done mankind a great favor and service. I don’t care if all this talk of law of attraction and power of gratitude and feel good and visualisation is just fictional stuff and something that is made up. It worked for me!!

A 25 year old girl with an entire life ahead of her, just got her hearing capability back. Rhonda Bryne, you made it possible for me to hear again!!!

Thank you!!
