What Is New Thought movement?

New Thought is a spiritual movement that started in the 1800s. It teaches that:

Your thoughts create your reality

You can work with universal principles (spiritual laws) to improve your life

Your subconscious mind is powerful and can be reprogrammed

Divine intelligence flows through everyone

Healing comes from within

Religious Science (Science of Mind) is one of the major branches of New Thought, along with Unity and Divine Science.

If you’ve ever used affirmations, visualized positive outcomes, or worked on changing your thought patterns—you’ve already used New Thought principles. We just teach you how to do it more effectively.

Questions We Hear Often

I'm not religious. Is this for me?
Absolutely. New Thought isn’t a religion in the traditional sense—it’s a spiritual philosophy and practical set of tools. Many of our community members aren’t traditionally religious. If you’re curious about how your mind works and want to learn to use it better, this is for you.
No. New Thought principles work alongside any faith tradition. Many of our members are practicing Christians, Jews, and people of other faiths who find these teachings enhance their existing spiritual practice. We’re teaching universal principles, not replacing anyone’s beliefs.
You’ll learn the New Thought techniques she practiced: working with your subconscious mind through affirmations, identifying and changing negative thought patterns, self-healing practices, and using consciousness to create positive change. These are the same methods she taught in “You Can Heal Your Life.”
