Healing of a twisted ankle
/Question 1: Share a physical healing or healings in which reading one or more of Skip’s articles played an important part in your own spiritual study and prayer and ultimate healing.
Several months ago, I was at my home showing a contractor work that needed to be done to prepare the house for sale. I was standing on the bottom step of some stairs, and as I stepped to the ground, I fell sideways, badly twisting my ankle.
I got up, but I was in a lot of pain. I tried walking it off, but it was startlingly clear to me that this had been an aggressive attack of mortal mind. Our teacher might whisper loudly into the microphone, “It’s a.m.” And I knew it.
It took me several days to focus more on the treatment than the pain. When I finally did, I turned to Skip’s article “Is animal magnetism old-fashioned?” (Journal, July 1988), and the healing came. Periodically some pain returned, and several times I found myself being reminded that first, there wasn’t a real accident with injured tissue to re-inflame, and second, animal magnetism didn’t have a “memory” of injury to re-present.
It’s Science that heals, because God is. And it’s Skip’s articles that remind us of this, over and over.
