Experiences in Self-Healing — Elizabeth Towne — 1905

Experiences in Self-Healing is Elizabeth Towne’s autobiographical account of illness, recovery, New Thought practice, and the gradual reconstruction of her physical and financial life.

Towne describes the movement from discouragement toward a philosophy of constructive thought, spiritual confidence, breath, affirmation, and deliberate attention. The book combines personal narrative with practical instruction and offers an important glimpse into the formative culture surrounding The Nautilus and the early New Thought movement.

Chapters include “Primitive Healing,” “The Darkest Hour,” “The Dawn,” “Spiritual Tides,” “Quick Healing,” and “How I Healed My Purse.”

Historical Health Note
The healing claims reflect Towne’s personal experience and the metaphysical assumptions of her period. The work is offered for historical study and should not replace contemporary medical care.
