Migraine headaches that...

From the June 1997 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Migraine headaches that had begun in my early teens continued to occur when I was a young adult. The headaches became more intense. Often I was in bed for two or three days.

By this time I was seriously studying Christian Science and relied entirely on it for my healing. Other healings had taken place: severe winter colds, eczema, and a broken foot. So much harmony was evident in my life that I knew the headaches could also be healed.

One of the ideas that I found very helpful in my prayers is from Science and Health: "The 'man of sorrows' [Jesus] best understood the nothingness of material life and intelligence and the mighty actuality of all-inclusive God, good. These were the two cardinal points of Mind-healing, or Christian Science, which armed him with Love" (p. 52). As I clung to the idea of "the nothingness of material life and intelligence" and "the mighty actuality of all-inclusive God, good," I realized that no inharmony could be in the same place with good. In God's realm, there had never been a first headache. Therefore there was nothing to heal. I stopped looking for the next attack and began to see that error had no power to oppose God.
