In tune with God—and healing

Anne Dixon

When Mary Baker Eddy was once asked how she healed, she included in her reply that one must always keep one’s violin in tune (see Yvonne Caché von Fettweis and Robert Townsend Warneck, Mary Baker Eddy: Christian Healer, Amplified Edition, pp. 264–265). Thinking about this, I saw it was a perfect analogy to keeping our thought in tune with God. 

As a violinist myself, I know the importance of keeping the instrument perfectly tuned to the right pitch. In the same way, knowing our relationship to God, and holding our thought to this spiritual truth, is our link to the divine message that heals. I’ve been able to prove this many times. 

One night I woke up coughing uncontrollably. I hadn’t been feeling well the day before with what seemed to be symptoms of a head cold. Now the congestion had intensified, and I longed for a good “clearing out.” I prayed until I was certain that God would answer my need for healing. Then I went back to bed.
