Profound, beautifully written, with love and compassion.

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

Amazing, lovingly written book that completely captures the essence of healing. It is written full of hope and optimism, and is written with a complete focus on helping others - especially those in vulnerable and painful situations - feel better. It is extensively and methodically researched and has an impressive evidence base - which, as a physician, I am drawn to (many people writing about healing are too quick to exploit the vulnerability that comes with pain and sickness to promise the moon, using unfounded and dubiously copyrighted techniques, for excessive sums of money and little proof of objective results). That being said -- not everything in this modality of healing can be proven with a randomized, double-blind controlled trial - and shouldn't be. The power and inspiration of subjective experience and the unexplainable must be respected by mainstream medicine, which certainly does not have all the answers to a sizeable swath of the population's ills (especially pain, chronic disease, and disability). To this end, the author's work is an invaluable and profound addition to my medical library. I applaud the author for the compassion, intelligence and sincerity he demonstrates throughout the work. I will be reading and re-reading this for many years to come, and it has helped me in my own journey.

Excellent Read

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2013

I read and reread this book all the time because I learn something new everytime I read it. I do believe the mind is very powerful and can heal your body. I've known about visualization, but I had never heard it explained quite like Dr. Hamilton explains in his book.

I actually visualized a "mini-me" going inside my body and healing my back. I do this exercise at night when I'm already in bed. I also visualize a "mini-me" working on my blood pressure. I liken my blood pressure to a balloon with lots of air. In my visualization, there is a meter with a reading of my BP. Then I start to release some air, and I watch the meter go down to a normal reading. I try to visualize as often as I can.

Let me tell you, I don't have the back pain anymore. I haven't tested my BP, but I visualize that it's normal. I will continue doing these exercises. Maybe I'll start to visualize LOVE. I visualized my promotion and got it.

I think you will enjoy the book.

Outstanding!

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2010

Verified Purchase

I'm the type of person who has a need to know how and why things work, not just "do this" and "this" will happen. This book has it all! David explains how and why our thinking and visualizations have a positive or negative effect on our bodies. He then goes on to explain "how to" and includes many,many visualizations for a great deal of illnesses. I've always felt that visualization was so difficult but after reading this I no longer feel this way. If I can do it anyone can.

And through it all I had the feeling that David is genuinely wanting to help people. His love and caring shines through the entire book. I have read many books on this subject over the years beginning with the "Seth" books by Jane Roberts. David R.Hamilton's "How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body" is the best I have ever read.

I have been searching for a book such as this for years and have always been a bit disappointed after having read many of them. Thank you so much, David for writing this book!

Also read, "It's the Thought That Counts: Why Mind Over Matter Really Works" by David R. Hamilton, you won't be disappointed. More good stuff! : )

Good read for anyone with an open mind to healing themself

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book helps with visualizing how to heal yourself with imagery. It deal with anything from cancer patients to allergy sufferers. It gives a lot of examples of people who this worked for. I use the techniques I learned about in the book daily.

The only negative thing about the book is the first few chapters drag because he talks about a lot of scientific information and statistics. Once you get past that, the book is an easy read.

Even though written by a person with PhD, it's easy and very pleasant to read. Loved the myriad of visualisation suggestions and ideas in the lat chapter. I also loved reading all the stories of healing, it helped me build the belief that its possible for anyone. Highly recommended.

I highly reccomend

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2010

I am a huge fan of Dr. Hamilton. He explains abstract concepts in down to earth terms and then backs his opinions up with scientific research. I have always believed in the power of the mind, but it was very interesting to have the scientific research that has been done brought to light, places like NIH, Mayo Clinic, etc. If you need some inspiration or help with healing this is definitely a book worth reading. This is the type of book anyone fighting cancer or any serious illness should read. In fact it should be required reading for anyone pre-surgery because their healing time would be cut in half or more.

Good for beginners.

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

For a novice, I suppose this would be a good starting point on mind-body work. I've gone off and on with the mind-body connection for several decades now and for me, it hasn't really told me anything new except for the research and anecdotes that comes from that research. Affirmations are something I have struggled with in the past, probably from my own blockages and impatience and have gotten away from them. That brings me to my point. It seems to me that this is something that a "professional" should provide as I have had difficulty in the past with meditation and visualization. I fall asleep and the images do not come. My mind wanders. I read the anecdotes from patients who healed and I honestly don't know how they did it.

No practical advice. Only a dump of research and experiments

Reviewed in India on April 8, 2022

Wasted my time reading half the book. There are no practical advices or exercises. Author has only compiled lots of research descriptions. Bland book not engaging at all. And nothing practical. It's just boring information.

So grateful for this book

Reviewed in Germany on March 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

Being a very rational and realistic person and also a doctor myself, I have had lots of difficulties with self- help books before, due to the fact that many of them are too esoteric or far- fetched. Until I came upon this one. It seemed to be made for people like me. The author is explaining everything in an authentic and reasonable way with a nice sense of humour as well, backing everything up with sources and studies ,so even people like me cannot not believe it is true. And it is working for me in so many ways. The best book about the mind-body- connection written so far (in my opinion). I do recommend the book to certain patients who are in need (luckily the book is available in German as well), and their feedback is also positive throughout. I am very grateful for this book, and the fact that David Hamilton decided to leave the pharma industry and instead write all these books is a blessing for humankind.

A practical guide

Reviewed in Canada on April 23, 2014

and a great one. It tired me out very rapidly hearing from people around me the same: "Think positively!" How? Where? When? Finally I got the recommendation for this book, I bought it, and I am happy with spelling out for me in what kind of trouble what to imagine, how to visualize, how to alter my thinking process which I am very familiar with and do not see any problem with it. Except the saying: "If you think the same thoughts, doing the same things, you will get the same results." I had severe arthritis caused by Mycoplasma bacilli which the medical establishment does not recognize as possible cause for arthritis. I refused to take the medications offered by my doctors, started to read unorthodox opinions about the disease together with books on the healing power of the mind. Everything combined lead me to a doctor who used Ozone as therapy which killed the Mycoplasma. Now I am not taking any medications completely relying on using my mind to wipe out the residual inflammation caused by arthritis.

Consigliabile !

Reviewed in Italy on March 29, 2015

Buon testo, ben scritto, con documentazione di studi scientifici. Interessante è anche la citazione di storie di persone che hanno applicato le tecniche di visualizzazione. Trovo pratico e utile il raccogliere esempi raggruppandoli per malattie: si ha una chiara idea su come fare e si può spaziare adattando il tutto alle proprie esigenze. I capitoli più importanti, almeno per me, sono le tre Appendici finali: con poche parole, si ha immediatamente la possibilità di applicare le tecniche. Alla portata di tutti: un "must" nell'argomento della visualizzazione !

As a Reiki Master I have been working for a while now with energy but I am also a psychologist so very much interested in the science. I am aware of the power of positive thinking but it can be hard hard to keep to. Having the science behind why it works is a great help and guides you to using the correct visualisations and affirmations for you. Other approaches I have read into just give you any affirmation to try and repeat over and over. They now feel a bit like being given lines at school after reading "How the mind can heal the body" and listening to the QFH CD. Repetition was never a great learning exercise. The brain needs something active to equate it to. I have been using the visualisations for the last three weeks and have experienced some vivid dreams afterwards. A bit like my brain has processed something and is now re-filing it. I also feel a lot more calm at a deeper level.
