Welcome to New Dimensions Radio!
In the last few years, scientific evidence has validated the healing power of prayer. But the power of prayer can go both ways--controlled laboratory experiments have proved that prayer can harm and even kill human tissue. Dossey says, "What we're talking about is my thoughts, my intentions, my wishes and my prayers being able to affect you physically at a distance, when you don't even know I'm doing it." Can we pray without doing harm? And can we protect ourselves from the negative prayers of others? Dossey addresses these and other fascinating aspects of the very real role prayer can play in our lives. He leaves us with perhaps the best prayer of all: "May the best thing happen."
