Healing - spiritual laws that bind us
together
© 2005 Shelly Richardson
For me this site mirrors a deep sincere
desire in society to honestly
understand the spiritual principles that
bind us together and also
highlight the unique distinctions that
deliniate our beliefs. Sometimes,
the honest probes of neighbors or friends
trying to understand why you
believe what you believe can be challenging
. Whether it's questions
about clothing, holidays, or the nature of
prayer and God, sincere
yearnings to understand the differences can
come across as
confrontational. As a Christian Scientist
whose family practices
spiritual healing instead of relying on
traditional medicine I'm often
asked "why?".
For 4 generations my family has safely
relied on this Christian method
of healing based on Biblical truths that
Jesus demonstrated. Tumors,
heart conditions, crooked teeth, asthma,
allergies and broken bones have
been healed quickly and permanently through
prayer alone. For me this
prayer starts with a quiet communion with
God, Love until I am reassured
that there is nothing to be afraid of. Often
a conscientious protest
that accidents and sickness are inevitable
and then affirmations about
man's spiritual unity with the allness of
God are included.. The shape
of each prayer is unique and individual, but
always includes a heartfelt
assurance that all things are possible to
God.
For example, Several months ago my
daughter's tooth came in through the
side of her gum instead of straight up. She
was very discouraged at the
prospect of dental work. In tears she turned
to me and asked "Can't this
be healed through prayer?" My heart
went clunk. Her courage to protest
the situation woke me up to the
possibilities of prayer. Quietly I
affirmed that Love God was in control of
every moment and every movement
and there was no reason to be afraid. A
gentle clarity of her spiritual
nature came over me and I could see that
every aspect of her being was
designed and directed by God's infinite
intelligence or by name - Mind.
I laughed as I thought that even every tooth
was obedient to God. Soon,
these ideas were as tangible as my own
existence and I knew everything
would be fine. Two days later she showed me
that her tooth had
straighten out by itself.
Over the years I've come to appreciate and
understand that these
specific laws of spiritual healing,
discovered and named Christian
Science in the late 1800's by Mary Baker
Eddy, are available to anyone,
regardless of their faith. Like the laws of
aerodynamics, everyone has
free access to understand and utilize these
simple principles based on
the power and allness of Spirit, Good to
heal.
