No more period pain

Avantika Dey

My school regularly holds lectures related to puberty for preteen and teenage students. During one of these lectures, they told us that pain is normal during menstrual cycles and also that our menstrual cycles might be irregular in the beginning.

After I attended those lectures, my periods became irregular and I began to experience pain each month.

I called a Christian Science practitioner and asked for her help. She said she would be happy to pray with me and pointed out the definition of kingdom of heaven from the Glossary in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. It says, “The reign of harmony in divine Science; the realm of unerring, eternal, and omnipotent Mind; the atmosphere of Spirit, where Soul is supreme” (Mary Baker Eddy, p. 590).
