When I began studying Christian Science, I would only apply its teachings to solve economic problems, tensions in relationships, and so on; that is, aspects of my life unrelated to health issues.
Today, after having had several physical healings through the study of Science and Health, I’ve realized that spiritual growth comes progressively as we solve through scientific prayer the challenges we face, including those related to health. It certainly is a journey that transforms and blesses us, and never leaves us where it found us.
On one occasion, a cyst appeared in my left ankle, that began to swell and grow, and it hurt when wearing boots. This made me afraid, but I wanted to apply what I was learning about man in Science and Health. I also decided not to seek a medical diagnosis. Medical definitions sometimes instill fear which, as we learn in Christian Science, is the basis of disease.
