Exterminating disease
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
More and more people are discovering the benefits of understanding the mental, or spiritual, nature of existence, and its role in healing. I was able to put this into practice myself when I worked closely with several people who were suffering from a newer strain of flu.
Because of my contact with them, I was all too familiar with their symptoms. And after a few days, I began to display identical symptoms. Some people even commented on this, telling me, “You don’t look well” and “Now you’ve got it, too.”
But instead of treating my incipient symptoms on a physical level, I took a cue from what I’d been reading in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures—I turned to prayer to regain a spiritual view of my life. It was clear that I was believing, along with my friends, that this strain of flu was powerful and that it was inevitable that I would be incapacitated. But the book’s author, Mary Baker Eddy, gave me a very different perspective.
