The first healing I experienced...

Ella A. Brock

The first healing I experienced through the study of Christian Science was one of chronic constipation and stomach trouble. This condition was so much a part of my experience that I had not even mentioned it to the practitioner on whom I called for guidance in beginning the study of Christian Science. I had taken medicine every night for as long as I could remember.

In talking with me the practitioner recommended that I empty my medicine cabinet of all material remedies and rely absolutely on God. That night I emptied all the bottles of medicine and threw the boxes of pills into the incinerator. Some time later I realized that I was healed; for I was able to eat anything without suffering, and there was no more bloating of my stomach.

I told this to the practitioner, and we both rejoiced over the healing. Then I asked her how this came about when there was no treatment given for that particular problem. She referred me to what Mrs. Eddy says in her book "Rudimental Divine Science" (p. 9), "The spiritual power of a scientific, right thought, without a direct effort, an audible or even a mental argument, has oftentimes healed inveterate diseases." Here was definite proof that healing is the natural result of spiritualized thinking.
