Who is Florence Scovel Shinn & What Did She Teach?
Apr 13, 2023
Florence Scovel Shinn was an American Artist and Book Illustrator who became a New Thought Spiritual Teacher and Metaphysical writer in her middle years.
Florence became popular with the spiritual community through her metaphysical work when she first published, The Game of Life and How To Play It in 1925.
She followed that book with, Your Word Is Your Wand (1928), and The Secret Door to Your Success (1940), The Power Of The Spoken Word (1945). And in 2013, Louise Hay published, The Magic Path Of Intuition.
The invisible forces are ever working for man who is always "pulling the strings" himself, though he does not know it. Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man voices, he begins to attract. -The Game of Life, Florence Scovel Shinn
Florence’s wisdom has been gaining momentum in the new millennium and is helping millions of people awaken to a deeper understanding and truth as our planet, mother earth, rises in consciousness.
Before Florence started publishing books she was an actress in the theatre and was also a popular illustrator in the early 1900’s.
Some would claim that this creative work allowed her to be in constant flow with her conscious self, allowing her intuition to deliver the wisdom she would later go on to publish through her spiritual books.
What Did Florence Teach?
Florence shared wisdom from a metaphysical stand point and mostly in the context of our words holding the true power to create our realities. Most of Florence's writings are sharing the understanding of a universal power that is of the same power as the words that you say and the thoughts that you think.
Another profound book to come from the same time period as Florence is Think and Grow Rich, which was also written with the wisdom of the spoken word and the thoughts that we think. If you have read napoleon Hill's Book - Think and Grow Rich, but have not read anything from Florence, we recommend that you do.
