The book was first published 10 years ago and usually, when I write a book, I kind of just put it out there and don\u2019t give it that much thought, so I never imagined I\u2019d ever be writing a new edition, but my publisher (Hay House<\/a>) asked me if I could update it. So I did.<\/p>\n

I was only supposed to add wee bits and pieces but so much has happened in the world of the mind-body connection in 10 years, so I ended up adding 4 new chapters and sprinkling new stuff all throughout. Oops. \"\"

\n

These cover things like how to use visualisation to enhance your immune system and I even share studies where this has been done in randomised controlled trials of women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Typically, half do visualisation in addition to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, while the other half don\u2019t. The visualisation group had a higher clinical response to treatment, which might be assumed to be the result of the extra impact of the immune system, as the researchers noted that the immune systems showed high levels of cytotoxicity even during treatment.<\/p>\n

New chapters also deal with how visualisation works and how to actually do it and also include the application to sports, including how to enhance performance whether elite or beginner, or even learn a new skill, and even rehabilitation from stroke. I\u2019ve also included several new stories from people who used visualisation as part of their recoveries from injury, illness or disease – including cancer, heart conditions, psoriasis, post-polio syndrome, and many more.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to the book altogether, the first part discusses the placebo effect, sharing multiple examples in different settings, but also explaining how it works. Chapters also cover positive attitude, meditation, and how the brain doesn\u2019t distinguish real from imaginary.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also an A-Z list of visualisations for a large number of medical conditions.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in checking it out, you can find links on the \u2018Books\u2019 tab of my website, or just try anywhere that sells books, including Amazon, Barnes and Nobel, Waterstones.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s available as paperback, kindle, ebook, and audiobook. \"\"
