The Teachings of Florence Scovel Shinn: And How to Apply Them Into Your Life.
Florence Scovel Shinn was a metaphysical teacher and author from the early 20th century. Her work is profound and filled with practical and simple insights on the power of your thoughts, words, and actions. Her teachings are rooted in spirituality and Natural Law. Her books are timeless as their messages still ring true today. All three of her books, The Game of Life and How to Play It, Your Word Is Your Wand, and The Secret Door to Success, have transformed my life and the lives of many others.
The Game of Life and How to Play It
The Game of Life and How to Play It, introduces the concept of life as a spiritual game governed by universal laws. The importance of faith, affirmations, and aligning with divine order are emphasized, and real life examples are given throughout the book. One of her most notable teachings is the idea that thoughts and words are creative forces that shape our reality.
In Use:
Use positive affirmations to reframe limiting beliefs and align with the outcomes you desire. For example, if you’re seeking financial abundance, you might affirm, “I am divinely guided to my perfect source of income.” See your goals as already achieved, feeling the emotions of success and fulfillment as if they are already here.
Your Word Is Your Wand
In Your Word Is Your Wand, Shinn illustrates how our words act as a creative force. She provides specific affirmations and declarations tailored to different areas of life, such as health, relationships, and prosperity.
In Use:
Avoid negative self-talk or criticism, as these can manifest undesired outcomes. Instead, speak words that uplift, empower, and heal. Cast negative emotions on to “the Christ within” as any action taken from the energy of anger or resentment will create a negative outcome.
Create personalized affirmations that resonate with your goals. For instance, if you’re looking to improve your health, affirm, “Every cell in my body vibrates with divine health and energy.”
The Secret Door to Success
This book explores the idea that success is not about striving or struggling but about opening the “secret door” of your subconscious mind through faith, intuition, and divine guidance. Again the message is to trust and surrender to a higher power knowing that everything is working for your good. Your job is so be conscious of your thoughts, actions and words and to use discipline in making them in alignment with your desires.
In Use :
Let go of fear and doubt by affirming that everything happens in divine timing and order. Acknowledge and give thanks for the blessings already in your life. This keeps you in the frequency of thanks, which in turn will help you call in more abundance.
Practical Steps to Integrate The Teachings.
Daily Affirmations: Spend time each day to state affirmations out loud that are aligned with your dreams. Say them aloud with conviction and a positive emotion.
Visualization: After stating your affirmations, spend time visualizing your desired outcomes. Allowing your mind to soak and marinate in the feelings of the wish fulfilled.
Awareness: Become aware of your inner dialogue and your thoughts. Make sure that your inner world and chatter matches the vibration and energy of the life you wish to live.
Audio: Record affirmations to help you achieve your dreams and listen to audio upon waking and falling asleep. This is when the door to your subconscious is still open and able to sink into the subconscious mind.
She reminds us of our divinity and our ability to create our reality. Our modern world has gotten so out of alignment with the divine laws. Florence reminds us to anchor our thoughts, words and actions to these laws which allow our nervous systems to trust and surrender. By using these laws, and her affirmations you can cultivate a life filled with abundance, joy, and purpose. What steps will you take today to play your game of life with intention?
