	The concept of mental healing was first introduced by the "Christian Science", a system of religious thought and practice developed by Mary Baker Eddy based on her study of the Bible. The major teachings of Christian Science include the belief that spiritual reality is the only reality and all else is illusion or "error", sickness and disease being not real but the result of fear, ignorance, or sin. The recognition and understanding of the spiritual nature of reality allows for healing through prayer or introspection. Later, other movements such as "Mental Science" and "New Thought" developed, introducing the use of affirmations and denials to cure illnesses.
