THERE has always been thought regarding the power of our minds over our bodies, hence the concept of the placebo effect or the phrase 'mind over matter'.

However, science has not been able to prove either way if our thoughts really do have a tangible effect on our bodies.

A new wave of thinking has, in recent years, used the concept of the power of the mind for healing, but this has been based on very little evidence.

Nikki Catto from Ascension Therapies, who has worked as a promoter and teacher of meditation, has felt frustrated at the perceived tenuous link of mind and body until Dr. David Hamilton and his three ground-breaking books helped her to understand that science has now moved into the arena with very interesting observations!

Dr. David Hamilton, author of 'How your mind heals your body', 'It's the thought that counts' and 'Free will v destiny', has agreed to talk at the Queen's Hall, Narberth, on Thursday, June 11, at 7 pm.

His two-hour talk will be based on cutting-edge scientific research explaining how to use your mind in a very direct and powerful way, explaining how visualisation works from the moment you have a healing thought.

Tickets cost £10 and booking in advance is recommended through Nikki Catto at [email protected]">[email protected] or 07970052844 and (01834) 860889.
