About Carol Kaye

Christian Science came into our family as the result of healing of typhoid fever experienced by my maternal grandmother shortly after the 1906 bay area earthquake. The family was told by doctors she had only a few hours to live, so in desperation they called "a lady around the corner who belongs to that new strange religion that says it heals" – and it did – instantaneously.

My mother was born two years after my Grandmother's wonderful healing and she was raised in Christian Science. My dad, on the other hand, came from a very medical family with his oldest sister being one of the first female doctors in California. When mom & dad married they agreed that, since my dad did not support any organized religion, my brother and I would attend the Christian Science Sunday School. However, if any illness or accident occurred and immediate healing did not take place, we would be taken to a doctor for medical treatment. I was enrolled in the Sunday School at age three and loved learning from the Bible about God, His Love, and His care.

I remember two experiences where my mother’s prayers brought quick healing; one when I fell on a board with a rusty nail protruding which went into the palm of my hand, and the other was an arrow, from a bow and arrow set, which hit me within a fraction of my eye. Both times the evidence of an accident was gone within an hour or two. I felt God’s love completely and quickly.

My mother, a very dedicated student of Christian Science, in both cases immediately was able to see God as the source of my health and well-being. And from that time on, I have always looked to God as the source for healing.

In addition to attending Sunday School, I also loved attending church and Christian Science Lectures. My younger years were very happy times. However, my first big challenge occurred in my early twenties with the sudden end of my marriage. I was so hurt and angry that I hit rock bottom. And…that was when I made Christian Science my own.

It is what sustained me, bringing me back to feeling that life was truly worth living. The lesson of gratitude was the strongest component of healing; it also brought back my sense of joy. Although it was anticipated by those who knew me that I would go into the Practice at an early age, I didn’t feel ready or capable. I therefore spent the next many years working in the corporate arena, while continuing to learn about God and His place in my day. There were many challenges along the way; there were many days I felt a strong sense of failure. But in spite of that, each day I also became stronger in the understanding of my relationship to God. What a wonderful tool it was in my daily living.

In the early-90’s, after the passing of both my mother and father and after leaving the corporate arena, my brother and his family asked me to move from the San Francisco Bay Area up to the foothills, north/east of Sacramento, to be near them. I had been in my home in the bay area since my early 20’s, and not only would I be leaving all my friends and everything that was familiar to me, including a very comfortable lifestyle, but I knew I would have to sell my home, which meant I would probably never be able to afford to return to the bay area.

It became clear that in order to listen for God’s guidance, I had to completely get ‘Carol’ out of the way with all my doubts and fears – which seemed like a monumental task. However, when I was finally ready to move forward without fear, I simply asked God to lead me wherever He wanted me.

The process over the next year was astounding. I was lead a beautiful 2-1/2 acre piece of property on a hilltop, surrounded by beautiful oak trees where I had a large custom log home built, sold my home in the bay area, and moved to Auburn. Every single decision to be made came with God’s guidance. This was truly the home that God built and I have felt so embraced in the beauty of my home and its’ surroundings since moving.

I joined a Christian Science Branch Church, was elected to fill out a term as First Reader and soon went into the Public Practice of Christian Science healing. When I finally figured out that God does the healing, not me, I moved forward freely. Gaining my listing as a Practitioner in the Christian Science Journal was the final step of my commitment to the Practice. (I am also currently listed in the on-line version of the Journal found in spirituality.com).

Truly it has been the biggest blessing of my entire life; it is what God had been preparing for me during all my years of struggling and learning. For the first time in my life, I no longer go to others for praise and validation; it comes from God and my patients as they share their healings with me. I continue to learn and grow each day; this work is truly awesome!!
