About This Event

How the Mind Heals the Body features meditation and Q&A sessions, with fees of £13.50 to £32.00.

Discover the connection between mind + body and the ways to positively bring change to your life through meditation. Followed by Q+A.

In this incredible talk, you will learn all about the mind body connection and fascinating examples of how the placebo effect and belief can shift biology in the brain. Dr David Hamilton will also discuss meditation, how different types can produce different effects and how positive feelings can impact the immune system and shape brain circuitry!

The brain does not always distinguish between real and imaginary, and people globally have used visualisation strategies to help facilitate their recoveries from injury and illness. Dr Hamilton will teach you the simple processes involved so you can try these techniques and share them with others.

Doors open at 6:45pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
