A Modern Look at Florence Scovel Shinn's Your Word Is Your Wand: With Commentary By Joseph Lumpkin & Breandan Lumpkin

As we speak, we influence everyone in our sphere, including ourselves. As we speak, we program our expectations, and we also begin the cycle of manifesting our will. Through our words we broadcast our intentions into the universe, and the universe is always listening. Your Word is Your Wand. Through our words, our will gives birth to possibilities and conditions in life. This is the philosophy and belief of the New Thought Movement.

In the 19th century, a school of thought and philosophy arose in the United States that was so powerful it changed the landscapes of religion, health and prosperity. The effects of the New Thought movement continue today and can be seen in how we now view our relationship with God, the universe, and ourselves. The New Thought movement has been termed a spiritual or metaphysical movement and a philosophical movement. It is the science of the mind teaching us how to use, will power, intent, affirmations, and visualization in order to manifest our visions in our lives today.

Shinn teaches us why some people are successful, some have their prayers answered, and why some fail. She teaches us the techniques we need to be successful and discusses how we can bring our visions and prayers into existence so we may live a life in a state of health and prosperity.
