A Christian Science practitioner is an individual who follows the practice of healing through prayer according to the teachings of Christian Science. This usually takes the form of what is called Christian Science treatment, a specifically focused prayer involving the affirmation of absolute spiritual or metaphysical truth of the spiritual perfection of God, and of man in God's image and likeness. Treatment may rely on passages of the Bible and the Christian Science textbook Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, including the Lord's Prayer and familiar psalms, such as the 23rd and 91st. But it may also simply be a period of silent communion. There is no formula and treatment can be given in absentia, including by telephone or via e-mail.
