Dizziness gone

Elizabeth "Buff" Harris-Colarossi

About a year ago, I awoke in the middle of the night feeling extremely dizzy. In my head I was spinning violently, and I felt unwell as a result. I stayed in bed the next morning, to the disappointment of my family. They are accustomed to a vibrant and healthy wife and mother, not someone who stays in bed. In our active lives, there is no time to be anything but free and vivacious.

My family supported me throughout the morning by reading me that week’s Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly and staying close by my side. I also called a Christian Science practitioner for metaphysical treatment. At one point, as I ran to the bathroom feeling nauseous, I heard an angel message, “This is a lie!” It was so strong and clear that it was as if someone had yelled it in my ear. I understood it as a reminder that our Father-Mother God, who is wholly good, did not make sickness, so any belief that I could be sick was a lie. The effect of knowing this truth was immediate. One second I was leaning against the wall, dizzy and ill, and the next I stood up, free. I was healed right then and there. I realized my identity as God’s child was never in jeopardy. I just needed to accept my God-given freedom and refuse to listen to mortal mind’s falsehoods.

I went to lie down for a few minutes more to quietly express gratitude for God's perfect work. Soon I got up for the day—free. I dressed, then went down the hall to tell my husband I was taking the dog for a walk. He was so happy to see me up and about, and he went with me on the walk.
