"Heal thyself and then teach others to heal".



Emma Curtis Hopkins said there are three ways that people could heal:
 l) you would get the realization of the omnipresence of God, and it was greater and more powerful than anything appearing,
2) to get to the cause; get behind what was creating a negative condition,
3) anyone can heal who has a desire to help, uplift, and to serve Man­kind. So, you see, you do not always need to follow a lot of intellectual teachings if the heart has the desire to serve and to give.

She taught, "Heal thyself and then teach others to heal". This was a healing movement, delivering Man out of error, sickness, poverty, and death. Emma Curtis Hopkins and her followers healed all over everywhere. Some were healed instantly, while for others it took a long time to bring forth the perfection. She also told us that the people who were healed experienced three changes:
l) their health was totally restored,
2) they had new, awakened intelligence,
3) they had purified motive.

Emma Curtis Hopkins: forgotten founder of new thought  By Gail M. Harley states:
Harley B. Jeffery [ see For fifty years he had engaged in healing, counseling, and speaking.] of the Unity School of Christianity taught course based on Hopkin’s work. Charles S. Braden* stated that Jeffery wrote several books: “His Mysticism is strikingly like The Higher Mysticism of Mrs. Hopkins.” Hopkins spoke of Jeffery in a letter, dated October 27, 1916, to “My beloved Myrtle Fillmore.” In what appears to be a response from Mrs. Fillmore she wrote, “I have always spoken in the highest terms of Mr. H.B. Jeffery … [H]e is one of the greatest healers in the country. … [W]hoever has reported anything different has spoken a malicious falsehood (motive unknown).” Charles S. Braden.
