Here are some thoughts about how I've made my spirituality--my relationship to God--practical in everyday life. :)

"Your life is your practice."

The following is an email I sent a friend (and posted with his permission) describing how I had a healing demonstration over pain and weakness simply by hearing about the good he was doing one day.

The terms you'll see "animal magnetism" and "mesmerism," as used in Christian Science, both refer to what the apostle Paul calls (in Romans 8:7) "the carnal mind," or a seeming pull away from Godlike thought. But since God is All, this type of "thought" is really just a dream we can snap right out of--just like I did! :)

Dearest dear _______,

Basically, _______, you just being yourself brought about a healing demonstration for me last Saturday. I had been having a slight challenge with pain/weakness, that seems to be recurring, and I was silently refuting it ... but also taking it easy so as not to make the situation worse.

Then you called.

And just hearing about your day that was so productive--humanly and metaphysically--totally snapped me out of the mesmerism, made me feel all pumped up and full of life, and the pain/weakness just vanished!--along with another side effect I won't go into, but that always seems to accompany this challenge.

So, [at the] Wednesday [evening church meeting], I talked about this as an example of how "your life is your practice"--how living in accord with God, not allowing oneself to be handled by animal magnetism, can just heal others without any effort. Cuz that's what you did! So go you, practitioner _______, transparency for Truth!! :-)

LOTS of love!
Erin
