Your Word Is Your Wand Florence Scovel Shinn was a metaphysical author and teacher whose ideas have helped millions of people transform their lives. Her book Your Word is Your Wand is a classic in the field of self-help, and its teachings are just as relevant today as they were when the book was first published in 1928. Expands on The Game of Life In Your Word is Your Wand , Shinn expands upon the ideas presented in her earlier book, The Game of Life and How to Play It. She emphasizes the power of words and thoughts in shaping our reality and teaches that we can use our words as tools to create the life we want. The Power of Our Words Shinn uses the metaphor of a wand to describe the power of our words. Just as a wand is used by a magician to cast spells and create illusions, our words can be used to manifest our desires and dreams. According to Shinn, our words have the power to create or destroy, to heal or harm. Positive Vibrations Attract Positive Experiences Shinn teaches that e...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn. Make An Affirmation Make an affirmation immediately upon waking. For example: "Thy Will Be Done This Day" "Thy will be done this day! Today is a day of completion; I give thanks for this perfect day, miracle shall follow miracle and wonders shall never cease." Wonders and Miracles Make this a habit, and one will see wonders and miracles come into his life. One morning I picked up a book and read, "Look with wonder at that which is before you!" It seemed to be my message for the day, so I repeated again and again, "Look with wonder at that which is before you." At about noon, a large sum of money, was given me, which I had been desiring for a certain purpose. Use Affirmations That Are Satisfying and Convincing In a following chapter, I will give affirmations that I have found most effective. However, one should never use an affirmation unless it is absolutely sa...

Water Is the Most Powerful Element The Chinese say that water is the most powerful element, because it is perfectly nonresistant. It can wear away a rock, and sweep all before it. Resist Not Evil…For There Is No Evil Jesus Christ said, "Resist not evil," for He knew in reality, there is no evil, therefore nothing to resist. Evil has come of man's "vain imagination," or a belief in two powers, good and evil. There is an old legend, that Adam and Eve ate of "Maya the Tree of Illusion," and saw two powers instead of one power, God. Evil Is a False Law Man Has Made for Himself Therefore, evil is a false law man has made for himself, through psychoma or soul sleep. Soul sleep means, that man's soul has been hypnotized by the race belief (of sin, sickness and death, etc.) which is c...

DENIALS AND AFFIRMATIONS For Prosperity God is my unfailing supply, and large sums of money come to me quickly, under grace, in perfect ways. For Right Conditions Every plan my Father in heaven has not planned, shall be dissolved and dissipated, and the Divine Idea now comes to pass. For Right Conditions Only that which is true of God is true of me, for I and the Father are ONE. For Faith As I am one with God, I am one with my good, for God is both the Giver and the Gift. I cannot separate the Giver from the Gift. For Right Conditions Divine Love now dissolves and dissipates every wrong condition in my mind, body and affairs. Divine Love is the most powerful chemical in the universe, and dissolves everything which is not of itself! For Health Divine Love floods my consciousness with health, and every cell in my body is filled with light. For the Eyesight My eyes are God's eyes, I see with the ...

Editor's Note:  This is an excerpt from The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn. DENIALS AND AFFIRMATIONS "Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee." All the good that is to be made manifest in man's life is already an accomplished fact in divine mind, and is released through man's recognition, or spoken word, so he must be careful to decree that only the Divine Idea be made manifest, for often, he decrees, through his "idle words," failure or misfortune. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance, to word one's demands correctly, as stated in a previous chapter. If one desires a home, friend, position or any other good thing, make the demand for the "divine selection." For example: "Infinite Spirit, open the way for my right home, my right friend, my right position. I give thanks it now manifests under grace in a perfect way." The latter part of the statement is most important. For example: I knew a...

God Is Man's Supply One of the greatest messages given to the race through the scriptures is that God is man's supply and that man can release, through his spoken word, all that belongs to him by divine right. He must, however, have perfect faith in his spoken word. Words and Thoughts Are a Tremendous Vibratory Force Isaiah said, "My word shall not return unto me void, but shall accomplish that where unto it is sent." We know now, that words and thoughts are a tremendous vibratory force, ever moulding man's body and affairs. A Woman in Great Distress A woman came to me in great distress and said she was to be sued on the fifteenth of the month for three thousand dollars. She knew no way of getting the money and was in despair. I told her God was her supply, and that there is a supply for every demand. Act in Perfect Faith So I spoke the word! I gave thanks that the woman would r...

You'll Get the Situation You Prepared For If one asks for success and prepares for failure, he will get the situation he has prepared for. For example: A man came to me asking me to speak the word that a certain debt would be wiped out. I found he spent his time planning what he would say to the man when he did not pay his bill, thereby neutralizing my words. He should have seen himself paying the debt. The Prophet Elisha in the Bible We have a wonderful illustration of this in the Bible, relating to the three kings who were in the desert, without water for their men and horses. They consulted the prophet Elisha, who gave them this astonishing message: "Thus saith the Lord—Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain, yet make this valley full of ditches." Man must prepare for the thing he has asked for, when there isn't the slightest sign of it in sight. For example: A woman fo...
