“Movement is thought liberated.”

~ Charlie Chaplin

I remember in my early days of practice, a newcomer to Christian Science visited my office one morning. She entered the room with one arm under her coat, but I paid little attention to it. She asked about healing for a relationship issue with a family member.

During our time together, I talked about God’s omnipresent Love at work on her behalf providing common ground for her to get along with her kin. I addressed her fears and allayed her concerns. She was all ears, soaking in every truth I shared and eager to learn more.

There was a definite release of strain, tension and worry in her thought while we conversed with each other.

A few minutes after she left, I looked out to the parking lot, and saw her jumping up and down and swinging her arms above her head like she had been just released from prison or something. I was perplexed as to what she was doing.

She raced back to my office with a wide smile on her face. Barging into my space, she proclaimed, “My arm! My arm! My arm is healed!” And she went on to explain that her arm had been uselessly lying in a sling under her coat, but now it was all healed. She was filled with awe over the rapid recovery and the fact that we hadn’t even talked about it.

Looking back, I believe her thought was liberated from some type of fear during our meeting that freed up that arm to move normally. The healing was quick.

“Movement is thought liberated.”

What thought-liberation are you ready for today?
