About four years ago I was healed through Christian Science of what appeared to be shingles. When I first discovered the condition, I was disturbed. However, I never had any sense of fear. Immediately I prayed—denying that my true being as God's image and likeness could suffer from this or any other inharmonious condition.

Christian Science teaches us that if we would heal the body, we must begin with thought. In examining my own thinking I realized that for some time I had been feeling incensed about a decision that had been made at a meeting I had attended and with which I did not agree. Here was where healing could commence—and did, as I cleared thought in this connection. It came to me that God, not a person, governed and I could safely leave with Him my desire that the best thing be done. This calmed me. I then reversed beliefs I had heard expressed about shingles, namely, accompanying pain and the so-called duration of the condition.
