It was organised by @seedtalks I’m speaking again this evening (Thursday) in Swansea (see my Linktree for last half a dozen tickets), then heading back home on Friday. I spoke about the mind-body connection and how to utilise it to support wellness. I explained how the placebo effect works, how visualisation impacts the brain and how to use it in your life, and loads more. .

This is how different meditation styles accomplish different things. Mindfulness, kindfulness, and mantra-based styles of meditation impact the brain in different ways and acccomplish different things. Mindfulness impacts the brain in a way that can improve concentration and memory, while Kindfulness practices can help boost happiness and reduce stress and anxiety, whereas mantra-based practices can reduce mental chatter and help quieten the mind.🧘‍♂️ . . . #meditation #mindfulness #kindfulness

I inhale a half dozen or so essential oils every day. I do it because scientific studies show that smell training can boost cognitive function and help offset cognitive decline. Loss of odour sensitivity is linked with varying degrees of cognitive decline. Loss of odour sensitivity, in fact, is connected with 139 known conditions, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The reason seems to lie in how smell is processed in the brain. It’s processed differently from our other major senses, which go

This was my 4th attempt to make this video as Daisy kept interrupting me. She hears me speaking but doesn’t know I’m making a video so I guess she assumes I’m speaking to her.😂 So I let her be in the video.

The healing power of nature: The human nervous system generally responds differently to different environments. I wrote about how nature is restorative in chapter 4 of my new book (Why Woo Woo Works); hospital patients tend to recover faster if their window offers them a view of nature vs a car park or brick wall. Nature sounds (eg birdsong) also gives us higher tolerances for pain. Apologies for the wind at some parts of the video. It’s a wee bit blustery in Scotland today.🌱🌬🌞😊 | David R Ha

Have you ever noticed that time seems to speed up as you get older? It’s to do with the way novel experiences are encoded in the brain compared with everyday ordinary experiences. The way to slow down your experience of time is to do new things. Try a new recipe, take a different route to work, visit someplace new, learn something new - a language, a subject, a dance. Do something different. I write more about this in the Perception chapter of my book, ‘Why Woo-Woo Works’. #usingsciencetoinspire

Do you ever find yourself reflecting on your life? I have done a fair bit of it this year. And I find myself feeling very grateful for specific people in my life; for the roles they’ve played, the way they’ve helped me, supported me, given me encouragement, laughed with me, shared successes, simply just been there when I physically needed someone to be there. In this video, I share my experience of being helped by my school chemistry teacher, Mr Tracey, and why I am so grateful today, quite a fe

Moral Treatment. This is the 3rd in my wee series of kindness videos. Moral treatment is the long-forgotten original treatment for mental illness. It began in the late 18th century and was the main treatment for over 100 years. It was gradually forgotten amid the advent of modern medicine. It teaches us that in reaching out to help others, our own mental health benefits. 🙏🤓😊 | David R Hamilton PhD

This is one of my all-time favourite meditation studies. Researchers asked novices to meditate for 20 minutes a day for 8 weeks. They had blood samples taken before and after. It turned out that meditation had impacted 1,561 genes (874 turned up in expression and 687 turned down). A similar pattern was found in expert meditators, where 2,209 genes were impacted. What these changes mean is that meditation creates a physiological environment that is less stressed and where there are improvements i

I started Personal Development Club in August and have since been giving live online talks each month, followed by Q and A, then we do a meditation or visualisation together as a group. I’d wanted to create something like this for some time but it was initially a bit out of my comfort zone, to be honest. What if it goes wrong? What if it doesn’t work out? What if there’s technical stuff I can’t fix, etc? Yes, even as an author of 10 books, I still have my own stuff to work through. . That’s part

As dull as it sounds, watching repetitive hand movements helps stimulate brain regions susceptible to Alzheimer’s, effectively giving these regions a workout. The practice has been shown to help some patients improve in attention and facial recognition. In a study, scientists invited 44 residents of a care home who had Alzheimer’s disease to either watch a documentary each day or a video featuring hand movements. After 6 weeks, those residents who watched the hand movements had improved a little

I’ve been working hard behind the scenes for the past few months creating what I call my, ‘Personal Development Club’. Part of the reason is so that my talks can reach people around the world, most of whom are not able to get to the live events. So each month, I will do a live talk online, followed by live Q&A, and we’ll also do a meditation or visualisation together as a group. In addition, members have access to a private, dedicated website containing videos, audios, meditations and worksheets
