A Little Girl Cured of Skin Cancer
(www.drdavidhamilton.com)

As I give so many talks on Mind-Body science, I frequently have the privilege of hearing peoples’ personal stories and how they healed themselves of illness. A woman recently relayed to me the story of a little girl who had skin cancer.

The child had been diagnosed with skin cancer and had seen 3 or 4 different specialists, who had each recommended surgery and/or radiotherapy. Devastating as it was for the parents, before any decisions were made they took the little girl to see a friend who is a hypnotherapist.

When they met, the hypnotherapist asked the little girl if she could imagine being a tiny little person standing right on the surface of her skin. She said she could easily do this and could stand right on top of the red bit.

Then he asked her, “What does it look like around you?”

The little girl replied, “Like fire.”

Then he asked her, “What would it look like if it was all better?”

“The fire would be out,” she said.

Then the hypnotherapist asked her, “How do you think you could put the fire out?”

“That’s easy,” she said. “I’d pour water over it.”

And that’s exactly what she imagined doing right there and then, and several times again over the next few days.

Ten days later, the parents took their daughter to a scheduled appointment with their oncologist.

The cancer was completely gone!!!

Children are great at visualization and one of the reasons that they can get such excellent results is because they don’t have the layers of negative belief that most adults do, like, “This will never work,” “Surely it can’t be this easy,” “The mind can’t heal cancer,” “It’ll take much more work than just visualization,” and “Only surgery or chemo can cure cancer.” What adults don’t realize is how much these beliefs affect the results they get.

Children don’t have these beliefs so when an adult that they trust guides them through a simple visualization, the results can be dramatic.

I wrote my recent book, ‘How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body’, to share some inspirational stories that people had passed on to me, in the hope that these stories might give others hope. I also packed it with lots of recent scientific research into the mind-body connection so that readers can develop some real faith that the mind can, indeed, heal the body. And I wrote it for the general public, in an easy to read style that my Mum, Dad and Aunty Jane can understand.

The key to using visualization to heal the body is to imagine being inside the body, like you were a mini-person. I call this a ‘Mini-Me’. Then you imagine how a disease or medical condition looks. Next you imagine how it would look if it was completely healed, if you were fully recovered. Then you imagine converting it from diseased to healthy. You can use any tools you want to do this. One lady imagined that a tumour was made of ice and then melted it with a hairdryer.

You don’t need to know exactly what something looks like for this to work. It’s only how it looks to you that matters. It’s the Thought that Counts. Your thought! When visualizing, I often ask my higher intelligence, or unconscious mind, to show me what something looks like and how it would look when healed, and then I ask for guidance in the best, most effective way to turn it from diseased to healed.
