Living in New Zealand, I’ve enjoyed many hiking and cycling trips through all kinds of mountain and forest terrain. These journeys have demanded thorough preparation, a clear sense of direction, and a determination to keep going in sometimes tough conditions. But whatever the challenges, I’ve been greatly rewarded by these adventures and strengthened by the lessons learned along the way.

Spiritual healings can be like that, too. When I sought healing in Christian Science for what seemed to be a threatening illness, the spiritual adventure that followed brought me closer to God and taught me much about my real identity as God’s reflection. 

In 2019, I experienced chronic intermittent pain along with other symptoms. Rather than get a medical checkup, as people of my age group are frequently advised to do, I chose to call a Christian Science practitioner for metaphysical treatment. I’d had many healings through prayer over a number of decades, so I was confident that I would be healed this time, too.
