Testimonies of Healing

IN 2006, I woke on the first morning of a weeklong business trip to Japan in great pain with a severely swollen leg. I had been raised in Christian Science, but had stopped attending church about 15 years earlier.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO I had the opportunity to study abroad in a developing country. While there, both of my eyes became quite red and inflamed.

I HAD BEEN MARRIED for about three years when I consulted a gynecologist because I was experiencing very irregular menstrual cycles. She prescribed fertility pills to restore normalcy and mentioned to my husband and me that with these pills I could easily become pregnant.

The author recognizes himself as God’s spiritual idea, without any blemish or disease.

"DO YOU FEEL DOMINATED?" she asked. There it was—the raw truth, a fact I'd never shared with anyone—and she somehow knew it! "Yes," I answered with hesitation, in awe of her spiritual insight.

I AWAKENED one Sunday morning with all the symptoms of a heavy head cold. The last thing I wanted to do was get out of bed, let alone get dressed for church.

MY FIRST HEALING in Christian Science came early. I was born feet first with badly damaged feet.

YEARS AGO, at 12 or 13, I was involved in many activities at school and excelled in sports and academics. Everything seemed to be going very well.

I USED TO BE less a human being and more a "human doing. " I always had to be doing something.

I LOVE TO JOG. It gives me the opportunity to experience the outdoors — the sun, sky, wind — and to see nature around me.
