Although it was winter, I would wake up in the middle of the night absolutely baking. Sometimes in the office, I'd feel a sudden heat wave and have to take off my blazer. Over a period of a week to ten days I experienced very unusual physical changes, including heat flashes, and started to pray about this.

It occurred to me that this might be part of what's called "change of life." Momentarily, I thought of consulting friends who had passed through menopause, but I realized that nothing they could tell me would heal it. I quickly dropped that temptation, knowing that God, who is Mind, would give me all the information I needed.

My first step of prayer was to ponder God's nature—His allness, goodness, and perfection, and then to claim my spiritual nature as a child of God. Next I denied that I could be subject to material beliefs. A belief is only a suggestion, without power. It can't attach itself to me.
