Out-of-joint hip healed
/I was vacationing with my husband in February. We were walking around a historic site when, all of a sudden, I couldn’t walk without a lot of pain. Right before that happened, I had been feeling annoyed at some fellow tourists who didn’t seem to be heeding the signage asking for quiet and respectful behavior. And when I had seen a tourist with a cane, I had thought something like this: Gosh, it seems hard to be walking around with a cane here. I’m glad I don’t need to use one. Recalling these thoughts, I realized that my thoughts were rather out of joint.
I texted a practitioner, and worked to correct my thoughts about the other tourists and the false claims about myself—that I was capable of unloving or unscientific thoughts and that I was a compilation of material elements that could malfunction at random.
My husband was very loving and supportive as I slowly limped around. We changed our plans that day to minimize walking. Even though I was still struggling to get around, it felt right to try snorkeling with manta rays, a non-refundable activity we had booked a month in advance. As I was snorkeling, I was affirming that Christian Science treatment is effective and that I could trust that this imposition was really not a part of me, however aggressive it seemed. I was grateful that I was able to snorkel comfortably and that afterwards I could move with a little less pain. That night, I was really grateful that I had been able to get in and out of the boat for snorkeling without trouble. I trusted that I would be able to see that the healing was complete.
Well, the next morning I woke up completely free of the claim! That day we had planned to go on a steep and rigorous hike, but the day before I had assumed that hiking would not be possible. Now I felt so free that I suggested we go on the hike. Not only was I able to hike without pain, but I felt so full of vim and vigor that I hiked much faster than usual! With every step up and back, I kept saying “Thank you, God.” We even finished the hike just before heavy rain began. I am so grateful for this wonderful and complete healing!
