In July 2007, my sweetheart was trying to help me update my new home. While he was cutting laminate wood flooring, he had an accident with the table saw and severely damaged three fingers on his right hand. He is a sound mixer and is also right handed, so this was a potentially career-ending injury.

At the emergency department, the surgeon informed us that the damage was extensive and the fingers should just be removed as they would not heal. My love and I informed the doctor to reattach them, as we believed he would heal and be able to use the fingers as before.

We immediately went to work on our mental picture. We began using visualizations and affirmations that his fingers were completely healed and in good functioning order. Our favorite dual meditation was one in which we were out riding his motorcycle, and his hand worked perfectly on the throttle and was completely normal and scar-free.

Every time anyone told us that the situation was hopeless, I would take them aside and tell them that they were not to talk that way in front of my love. Doctors became interested in what we were doing and began asking questions.

On the third day after surgery, the hand was unwrapped by the surgeon. He was astounded at the progress in such a short time. He told us that not only did he think the fingers would stay on his hand, but that he would regain use of them as well.

Within six weeks, my love was back at his sound board and his fingers were fine. Within three months, x-rays of the fingers showed that he had regrown the bones he had damaged in the accident. One of his fingers had completely lost the bone from the knuckle up, but it was back three months later.

Today, my love’s hand looks completely normal and he regains more and more function every day. We are even back to riding his Harley, and his hand works perfectly on the throttle.

All the doctors involved in his care have asked us how we did it. I tell them about The Secret. The surgeon uses it with his patients now and has told us that he’s seen a big increase in the amount of people who are able to retain their damaged fingers and even use them again.

Believe it because it works!
