The Power of the Spoken Word

The Power of the Spoken Word, by Florence Scovel Shinn, is short, simple, and to the point. The affirmations Shinn gives in this book do bring a sense of peace and instill faith. In this book, she writes of vibrations, karma,of emotions being the reason of disease, of being in the NOW...and much more. "You cannot always control your thoughts. But you can control your words. And eventually the word impresses the subconsciousness," wrote Shinn. And she was right: our words are much more powerful than we may at times realize. Shinn's book brings greater awareness about the power behind our words, what we speak and how we attract more of that into our life. She was the true pioneer of "laws of attraction" in our modern times. It is important to remember that words can heal or destroy. When we become more consciously aware of what comes out of our mouth, we can then choose carefully the words we speak, as they do have a rippling effect, either positive or negative. This book helps everyone learn more about the effect of our spoken words, and this brings about a greater awareness that can only help people. The Power of the Spoken Word is truly classic and timeless wisdom that has positively impacted the lives of many.
