Unleashing Your Brainpower: Unlocking Your Mind's Potential

Most people though when you do that when you decide

to really take a look it's like lighting a match in a dark place so you feel uncomfortable so it's easier to turn on your TV it's easier to play with your cell phone to distract yourself from those feelings well when you understand that change really requires becoming uncomfortable to a certain degree and that's normal that you're leaving the known and you're stepping into the unknown then it begs the question what thoughts do you want to fire if you believe that you're creating your life and you're living by laughs well lack isn't gonna create abundance right

If you can get ready because something weird

or unusual some synchronicities and coincidence so my opportunity is going to land in your lap and you don't have to go and get candy you welcome back to max out everybody I'm at my lap and this is the first time in the history of the show we've had a return guest and the reason that we've had this return guest is because you've requested more of this man and also because selfishly I want to be around him more this is my dear friend this is dr. Joe Dispenza everybody Joe thank you for being here so happy to be with you and it's gonna be so great today as most of you know Joe is a lecturer he's an author he's a neuroscientist he's an expert I think on the mind and body connection he's lectured in 35 different countries plus five different continents and he's one of the most sought-after speakers in the world and I really think he's become the expert I think you bridge science and spirituality better than anybody walking on earth right now huh

I know my audience felt that way

from the first time that you were with us too so you're also a ratings grabber by the way so that's the other reason we're having you back today this man everybody wants to hear more from him he's hot and there's a reason for it because there's really nobody like him in the world so let's dig in you ready I'm ready guys heavy no taking day so we're gonna lay some foundational stuff here and then we're gonna get to some stuff towards the middle in the end that is literally going to blow your mind and change your life and and that's why I've asked Joe back today so let's talk about some basic stuff today first lay the foundation nothing with you is basic but what is the power of thought because we talk about this all the time this in personal development today everyone's talking about you got to control your thoughts and control your have and all these things and there's a baseline message about that but you're the best in the world explaining exactly why this is so important

If we everything starts with a thought

I mean everything that you do in your life you you have to have a thought before you initiate an action right so so if you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny like any great leader in history understands that the first thing you have to do is you have to decide are you gonna be defined by a vision of the future or are you gonna live by the memories of the past so give you an example most people wake up in the morning and your brain is a record of the past it's an artifact of everything you've learned and experience to this moment right it's a it's a memory bank so most people wake up in the morning and they start thinking about their problems and those problems are connected to certain people and things at certain times and places and the moment they start start turning on those circuits those memories are actually causing them to think in the past every single one of those memories has an emotion associated with them and emotions are the end product of past experiences so then the moment they recall the event or they recall some problem in their life they start feeling unhappy they start feeling discouraged they start feeling anxious now thoughts of the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body and how you think and how you feel creates your state of being so we could say then mmm most people's entire state of being when they start their day is in the familiar past well if you live in the familiar past then it makes sense you're gonna create the predictable future and so what happens for most people is they get stuck in their biology so think about this your body is your unconscious mind it doesn't know

the difference between an experience in your life

that creates an emotion and an emotion that you can create by thought alone so if you're living by the same emotion every single day and those emotions are influencing your thoughts and you can't think greater than how you feel our feelings have become the means of thinking you're thinking in the past your lens of the future is going to be colored by the past so you can't see possibilities so most people like to wait for a crisis or disease or diagnosis before they wake up yes enough to see well the challenge is is that biology tends to be redundant so if you keep thinking the same thoughts and those thoughts begin to fire certain circuits in your brain the nerve cells that fire together wire together so all of a sudden you start getting hardwired and those are the thoughts that you can think the easiest at the same time those thoughts produce chemicals called emotions

you know your body gets accustomed

to living by the same emotions and it could be guilt it could be unhappiness it could be pain but at least it's familiar to you at least you can predict it so some people would rather cling to the familiar than take a chance in possibility so for most people then they say well I don't really see how my thoughts have anything to do with my destiny well that's because 95% of those thoughts are subconscious programs right so you're not even conscious that you think those thoughts so the first step to change is starting to think about what you've been thinking about and change it and and then when you begin to observe those thoughts you're no longer the program you're the consciousness observe and just simply by being an observer of your thoughts right so so though so most people though when they when you do that when you decide to really take a look it's like lighting a match in a dark place so you feel uncomfortable so it's easier to turn on your TV it's easier to play with your cell phone to distract yourself from those feelings well when you understand that change really requires becoming uncomfortable to a certain degree and that's normal that you're leaving the known and you're stepping into the unknown then it begs the question what thoughts do you want to fire and wire in your brain because your attention on those thoughts begins to reorganize circuitry we mold the brain hmmm

meditation is really really means to become familiar

with correct so we're gonna talk a little bit about meditation as we go forward here in a second but if it is true that your body is your unconscious mind which I didn't know that and it is true that it does not know the difference between a real event or an imagined event can't you really use that to your advantage though of course so because okay so let's talk about that because this is because you do this really well because most people are waiting for their life the change yes so they can feel gratitude to feel abundance to feel whole you know that's the old model of cause and effect you know so if you're living with emptiness you're living with lack you're living with pain most people have been conditioned that something out there has to take away this emptiness or feeling inside of them but if you believe that you're creating your life and you're living by lack well lack isn't gonna create abundance right so so then it makes sense then that you don't really actually create wealth you generate wealth you generate abundance

The moment you start teaching your body emotionally

what that future is gonna feel like before it's made manifest well your body is the unconscious mind believes it's living in that future in the present moment now it's a scientific fact that it's the environment that signals the gene okay mm-hmm the end product from an experience in the environment is an emotion so when you begin to embrace an elevated emotion you're beginning to signal the gene ahead of the environment what's the importance of that well genes make proteins and proteins are responsible for the structure and the function of your body and the expression of proteins is the expression of life so by you creating an elevated emotion and teaching your body what that future will feel like before it's made manifest your body's starting to live in that future reality in the present moment now here's the key if you were able to become familiar with gratitude become familiar with wholeness become familiar with abundance to become familiar with freedom and you're able to generate those chemicals every single day

Walking around feeling like your future

has already happened then you would no longer be looking for it to happen you would already feel like it has happened now what is the importance of that well you're literally becoming somebody else so you're leaving your lack you're leaving your guilt you're leaving your emptiness behind oh my gosh it's so [ __ ] so you talk about I want to stay in here for a minute because I know people right now we're gonna oh my gosh and I'm doing that right now too so now we get into stuff that just benefits me one of my favorite things you say is that and it's it's a general thing but I want to move into how you become this so you say often in order to change your personal reality you must change your personality but I think also the people maybe aren't aware of how that personality was formed and we started to go down that road but I want to keep going for a minute and so you talk often about how a mood over time can end up turning into a personality of sorts so could you talk about that a little bit sure let's talk about it in two ways okay so your personality literally at is made up of how you think how you act and how you feel and how you think how you act in how you feel as your personality and your personality is intimately connected to your personal reality your life

Change your life your personal reality you got to

change your personality and here we go again you got to start becoming conscious of your unconscious thoughts you got to start noticing how you act how you speak you got to pay attention to how you're feeling some people would live in guilt their whole entire life and don't even know it's guilt because at least it feels like them so then when you start doing that you begin to objectify your subjective self so so then when you begin to make small changes back to thought a new thought should lead to a new choice and a new choice should lead to a new behavior and new behavior should create a new experience that a new experience should create a new emotion yes and that new emotion is teaching your body chemically to understand what your mind is intellectually understood now your body is embodying the truth right so then the new emotion should inspire new thoughts and that's called evolution so how do we get stuck it's really simple the stronger the emotion you feel from some event in your life be it a betrayal or a trauma or whatever yes the more altered you feel inside of you the more you pay attention to the cause outside of you

The brain takes a snapshot it freezes an image and embosses

that pattern neurologically in the brain that's called a memory so we create long-term memories from strong emotional events okay so is that true that's what I understand though maybe the larger the event in terms of its emotion to you the stronger of a hold it has over you yeah well the more it's and Boston your biology so some certain people have a strong experience in their life and it catches all of the brains attention so now they think neurologically within the circuits of the past experience and they feel chemically within the boundaries of those emotions and so how you think and how you feel creates a state of being now here the problem that if you don't know how to mediate or control your emotional reaction to that event and you keep that refractory period of chemicals going on extended periods of time so that the event produces a chemical change and the body needs to return back to homeostasis or balance

The elongation of that emotional reaction

for weeks say for days or weeks is called the mood so you say ed what's wrong with you I'm in a mood why are you in a mood well this thing happened to me five days ago and I'm having one long emotional reaction so then what you do is you keep telling the story about it keep firing and wiring the same circuits and you keep conditioning the body into the past so then you wake up in the morning you look for the emotion so then now all of a sudden you keep it lingering for for for weeks or months that's called the temperament well why is he so angry I don't know let's ask him why are you so angry well this thing happens to me eight months ago I'm having one long emotional reaction I'm memorizing my emotions you keep it going on for years on end that's called a personality trait so then a person then is memorizing themselves by living in the past and so then you say to them well tell me the story now the latest research on memory says that 50% of what we talk about in our past isn't even the truth so we make stuff up about the past in other words people are reliving a life that they didn't even have just to reaffirm that they can't change right so then what's the significance of this where you place your attention is where you place your energy period yes

the stronger the emotion that you have there's some problem

or condition or person in your life the more you're paying attention to them so they captured your attention so you're giving your power away to that person right because they're capturing your attention so then there's an energetic connection to every person everything everything in your past present reality has your energy connected to it so now this is the significance when a person really decides to be defined by a vision of the future instead of the memory of the past the hardest part about it is all of a sudden becoming conscious and not making the same unconscious choice so then if you lower the volume to your frustration it's your hatred to your anger if you truly knew how to do that if you lowered the volume to that emotion you would take your attention off that person which means you would begin to break those energetic bonds and now you're taking your power back you're calling energy back to you we've measured this and all of a sudden it builds this bigger electromagnetic magnetic field around the person's body that's energy to heal that's energy to create a new future with right

if you didn't want to lower the volume

to the emotion then just take your attention off the person and every time you take your attention off the person if you became conscious of that you wouldn't feel the emotion you know the body though it's been addicted to that emotion because you're using that person to reaffirm your addiction to hatred or frustration and if that person died you find another one so then here you go now so now you're in a position now where you begin to lower the volume to that emotion and the body is going wait a second you've been you've been doing this for the last 20 years and all of a sudden you're just gonna stop hating and the body says well I've been conditioned this way and conditioning is based on the past so when the body feels the the lack of that emotion just like a drug addict it says hey you're off schedule here so now the body starts influencing the mind to think about experiences that are embossed in the brain that are based on that emotion

the emotion now is causing you to think in the past

if we teach a person then how to trade that frustration or that hatred for an elevated emotion and they'll say yeah but you know as my ex's fault or I got betrayed by my partner in business yeah yeah yeah we know that okay so let's take your partner in business or take your ex let's duct-tape them and put them in a cannon and shoot them to the moon now what are you gonna do sooner or later you got to reckon with yourself and change right so then teach a person then how to trade that emotion for an elevated emotion now trade the emotion for an elevated emotion right so you're gonna give that up and you're gonna practice feeling gratitude for as an example if the person says why can't feel gratitude and I say absolutely you can because you don't practice feeling it you practice spending most of your time feeling hatred and frustration

it's gonna take old time the cost

that heart of you to blue or your heart of yours to bloom once they're able to feel even the smallest measure of gratitude where they start feeling appreciation thankfulness gratitude it's emotional signature when you when you get something mm-hmm but when you're receiving something when something has happened to you or when something is happening to you you say thank you because you're receiving something so the emotional signature of gratitude means the event has already happened where it's happening to you and so the moment you open your heart and you feel gratitude well that emotion then is telling the body that the experience has already occurred and the thought then can make it into the body because it's consistent with the law so now you're beginning to program the autonomic nervous system into a very specific destiny and you've got to maintain that modified state of mind and body your entire day independent of the conditions in your outer environment independent of your body's cravings of those emotions and situations and independent from time and if you can get ready because something weird or unusual some synchronicity some coincidence some opportunity is gonna land in your lap and you didn't have to go and get it yes it came to you now you're the vortex of creation

say to me well I was feeling gratitude

but then there was traffic or my co-workers sent me a nasty email then I would say oh my god you mean you're allowing your environment your outer environment to control how you feel and thinking your back to the unconscious program that you're the victim to your life you got it but when you start producing those outcomes in your life you're gonna pay attention to what you did inside of him you're gonna believe more that you're the creator of your life unless of the victim of your life that is so unbelievable the way the I've never heard anybody ever say it like that but we're because I I've watched people who's you know they're this person's caused this insecurity in their life and even they remove the person what they'll do is okay now I'm gonna feel gratitude what you just said but they're sort of their body is still addicted to that emotion and they go seek other references to get them that emotion again so the first thing you said that I love that I've not heard before as one is acknowledged when that addiction rears its head again just by acknowledging it the second thing that really nobody talks about is it's wonderful to meditate to get them in that space but then you must get up and be active towards that goal that's what most people don't ever talk about we're changing our brain and body to live in that future present reality

feel connected to a future instead of the past

and when you're connected to the past you're looking for it and if you're looking for it you're separate from it if you're being it then there's there's there's a complete change in energy and nobody changes until they change their energy and when you change your energy you change your life after 8500 brain scans I can tell you that you and I are at our absolute best when we get beyond ourselves that is the elegant moment mmm well we're free enough to create without any encumbrances so this has been measured too so there's these different energy centers in the body is it true that if you're holding on to these other emotions I just want a basic answer for this for the group - if you're holding on to these negative emotions and you're not moving towards this more empowering emotion what happens to these energy centers in the body can you describe that to some of them the majority of our thoughts and feelings mm-hmm are connected to our sexuality to our victimization or guilt or suffering or shame or unworthiness or self doubt or our importance our control our fear our anger or frustration or hatred our judgment those are those are the first three hormonal centers in the body and and those first three centers have everything to do with survival and those centers are energy consumers orgasm digestion stress is a lot of energy that that we're drawing from our very vital life force yes a resource of light and information and we're turning it into chemistry and we're literally robbing the body's energy right

living like that for the short term is okay

because the body can move back to homeostasis and then restore itself but when we're over doing that consistently then there's no energy for growth and repair there's no because you're living constantly in survival so again you can eat all the right food you can do all the right things but if you're living in anxiety and fear and you're viewing your world from the worst case scenario that could possibly happen because that's what you do in survival there's no energy for growth and right there's no energy for healing so the majority of our thoughts are signaling certain circuits in the brain that signal another part of the brain limbic brain to make what's called a neuropeptide there are peptides are chemical messengers that signal hormonal centers so now you're taking thought and you're storing it as energy in these energy centers and and if you're living in survival why would you open your heart it's just not a time to open your heart I mean if you're getting chased by t-rex he's not a time to meditate it's not a time to learn it's not a time to connect it's not a time to communicate it's not a time to sit down and go within it's not a time to be vulnerable it's time to run fight or hide and so is that why we're this way I've never asked you this before is this some I don't I don't think you believe this but one understands is this some sort of genetic disposition that's been passed down to us since we've been chased by t-rex I think so I think survival has been very adaptive yeah like because if you're being chased by t-rex you don't run up the tof t-rex and say oh cute little dinosaur only pet you that's not adaptive the fear is adaptive you run from the unknown you run from challenges right yeah

if you're living in survival there's better chances

of surviving if you run from the unknown and by the way when you're living in survival of the infinite potentials in the quantum field you'll select the worst-case scenario in your mind and you'll begin to emotionally prepare yourself for the worst case scenario because you have better chances of surviving there you go if you prepare for the worst right people spend their whole life yes thinking about the worst thing and emotionally embracing it while you take a thought and emotion or an image and an emotion your branding or conditioning your body into what anxiety might interfere

keep doing that over and over again

over and over again you're the body becomes the mind of fear and whether you think you can control it or not you're gonna have a panic attack and the panic attack is the body saying you've conditioned me this way try as you may with your conscious mind control it right you programmed it subconsciously then you start worrying about the next panic attack and it's that very anticipation here we go keeps the person on the hamster wheel robs them of all of this energy as well they're absolutely so so so they don't believe in ability when they're living in that state because in survival it's not a time to create all the blood flow is going to the hindbrain and away from the forebrain there's no there's there's no physiology really for a person to begin to create a new future so then so think about it so then 70% of the time people in the world are living anticipating the next moment based on their past moment and so they're laying reality down moment by moment with the next known the next predictable moment

the hormones of stress endorse the senses

our senses become heightened when we're under stress and we become materialistic on the danger yes so then you're focusing on matter you're focusing on the material world and when you do that you put all your attention the arousal of the stress hormones puts all your attention on your body if you're being chased by t-rex you better be paying attention your body when people start reaching this moment my goodness they're overcoming themselves and now they're at that perfect place to create and my definition of creation is when I forget about myself that's when you're free

some people can do it

because they practice it other people can't get beyond the addiction of a certain emotion that means their body is still their mind yes so then if you're sitting in a meditation and your body's thrown the kitchen sink at you and saying Edie you're a loser you're never gonna change this is too hard why don't you quit and you're aware that that's your body doing that and you say to your body we're gonna sit here and we're going to sit in this fire I'm gonna keep applying the formula and my your brain starts running to all the emails you have to do and you come where I that and return back to the present moment you tell the body it's no longer the mind that you're the mind now your will is getting greater than that program and there's a liberation of energy and every time you do that that's a victory mm-hmm and you teach every time you do that that's a big time when your mind tells the body I'm in charge when you say you're we just want to get up and you want to quit and you got no you know that's my body bring it back okay and now you're now you're taming the animal the body is the animal and you're like a dog you said if you keep doing this keep doing this you're climbing on top and the body finally acquiesce as it finally says I'm not going anywhere and then we bum there's this liberation of energy what's the side effect joy person's heart just who opens up and and every time they do that those victories add up there's no such thing as a bad meditation there's only overcoming yourself and when you sit in the fire and you work with that people say to me why do you meditate every morning I said because if I can overcome myself in the morning the rest of my day is easy it's easy true because because that's what it's about you master yourself you master your life yes and so then all the chatter in your head they listen to all day long that is called the default mode Network in the brain

my research shows that shuts off not just shuts off during the meditation

it stays shut off for the rest of the day so the critic in your head that's telling you this will never happen you have enough time all right that there's no voice there so you just have a clear flow or you're going and you trust yourself more yes so then when you start practicing creating that brain and heart coherence you can believe in a future that you can't see or experience with your senses yet but you've thought about enough times in your mind that it's actually there's physical evidence in your brain to look like it's already happened and you can begin to understand you can select a new potential in the quantum field and every day emotionally embrace that future reality to such a degree that your body begins to believe that's living in that future reality in the present moment and you're signaling new genes and new ways to change your body to look like it's already happened now think about this if there's physical evidence by thought alone in your brain and body to look like your wealth or your future has already happened it's already very happy and you're already it so it's not about your wealth it's not about your health it's not about your freedom its who you become

over come over come you become someone else

and so most people don't understand that oh that the truth is is that every time you overcome yourself a little bit more the side effect is that you love yourself a little bit more and so no self-love is no longer about pleasure or having a car it's something that you're cultivating within you so then imagine we have research to show and this is such a this is such a duality that when you start seeing the brain start synchronizing getting coherent for the front of the brain in the back of the brain that two hemispheres coming together and you we can say that scientists that come in study or work Oh watch this Ed's gonna pop what do you mean just watch this is gonna be good and all of a sudden you see this brain going into this kind of psychic union the heart blows wide open you see coherence going on and you look around that that person and there's tears running down their face imagine feeling

that it's impossible

to want I mean how can you want when you're whole because you feel like you already have it now when you reach that point that's when the magic happens because now you are worthy to receive and the universe only gives us what we think were worthy of receiving share this with them yeah I think you know for me I mean I'm curious and I'm a pragmatist I mean if you tell me something all I want to know is how I'm gonna use it in my life yes and I'm not in the dinner conversation because nobody changes from that and you know I mean I'm a doer and I want to be around doers and you and I connect so well and I obviously and in in and you you create a group of people that are passionate about transformation and they've they've done some of the work when we were doing our four day four and a half day advanced workshops right around the end of the event I was seeing people starting to note was seeing some really great transformations and I thought this is the pop yeah as a pop you know big pop soon and we were like we had to send him home and I was like oh god man if I could just have them for a week we created these week-long events where people retreat from their lives and they remove the constant stimulation in their external environment that reminds them of who they think they are as a personality yes they separate themselves from the people they know and the places they go and the things that they do at a certain amount of time in the routine mundane life

bridge a little quantum physics with a little neuroscience

little neuroendocrinology a little epigenetics psychoneuroimmunology those are all science is about possibility and I now know that if you can give people sound scientific information and you know for me that's the language and then if they can turn to the person next to them and explain it you're not gonna get off the hook if you can't explain it it's not wired in your brain but if you can build a model and explain it you're installing the neurological hardware in your brain and preparation for the experience so the more you understand what you're doing and why how gets easier because you can assign meaning to it so then if I can set up the conditions in the environment and give them the proper instructions and push the envelope a little bit yeah and people who get their behaviors to match their intentions and their actions equal to their thoughts they get their mind and body working together they're gonna have a new experience and the experience then is not only going to enrich the philosophical circuits in their brain because experience does that but it's gonna produce an emotion so they're gonna start feeling more unlimited they're gonna start feeling more free now they're teaching their body chemically to understand what they're - intellectually understood so we've done it once to be able to do it again you have the recipe of before so if you can repeat it you will neurochemical conditioned your mind and body begin to work as one in other words the body will start to learn how to do it as well as the mind and you won't have to consciously think about it any longer

it gets easier right so we follow that format

in the first couple days is that getting beyond your life getting beyond your emotions everybody's got to do it but if you just keep applying the farm you keep going I keep reminding you and keep building the model I give them numerous opportunities to connect and numerous opportunities to overcome themselves and sooner or later you're just gonna figure it out it doesn't matter you're just gonna figure it out and when you do then we start seeing now these incredible transformations and changes and it's like a four-minute mile yeah because I really think now add that evidence is the loudest voice sure it is the loudest voice and so we've got all the brain scans we got all the heart rate measurements we got great measurements on immune regulation how you can strengthen your immune system by thought alone we have great measurements on on that you could actually change your genes and in four days lengthen your telomeres lengthen your life within sixty days you know change your neurotransmitters change the energy around your body the energy centers of your body and change all this stuff and

the evidence of people now

is really is really the laboratory so then what's the side effect of a person then who begins to make significant changes in just mastering that formula well the side effect is a remission from a health condition so we have seen not once not twice more than twice blind people like that that one lady had a stroke on the optic nerve a nurse from from London very smart lady and the the lesion was on the optic nerve and it created a blind spot in her visual field from 6 o'clock to 9 o'clock so she can't see anything there in so she lost her license she's she has it she's has her own company she couldn't read emails and sooner or later your brain accommodates a little bit but not fully and so the typical prognosis with a stroke when there's neurological damage that if your brain doesn't recover within two weeks it's gonna start it's gonna stay the same to slowly get worse so she has great relationships with all the physicians and they all said yeah you're gonna have to learn to live with it and believe it or not one doctor said hey why don't you try going to this event and this nurse nurses are practical people I mean they're super practical people you want to want to get a good doctor ask a nurse right sure and they're just very very practical so she did all to do the online course she did both the courses she read all the books she did all the meditations and she came to the event with the intention of learning how to live with her condition didn't occur to her fully that she could heal and she went because she wanted to start a non-profit to help people Wow

she went with a doctor that that that recommended the work and it's just certain point in the middle of the event she was doing a walking meditation on the beach with a thousand other people there and and it occurred to her that maybe she should think about healing her eyes you know so she went into the meditation and the the same day and she laid down after we finished the meditation and she said it was like someone taking cellophane you know cracking it in her head she felt something going on inside her brain and she was crying because she knew something spectacular was happening and she didn't want to open her eyes and then the the the meditation ended and she said when I opened my eyes it was like I was seeing so much brighter and she said I could see no blind spot and she was the doctor was laying right next to her she was sobbing or hugging each other and that's what she went on the Monday morning hmm to get her eyes the visual fields measured and what may hopefully will get the image for you but sure you can see on the the pre measurement just a black back that quarter of the sphere the Lygia of the circle was just all black in other words blindness you see the post measurement

on the Monday morning after the event there isn't a black spot believable complete restoration of sight now if you ask me if that was possible you know two years ago I would say yeah it's possible theoretically but now like this is the four-minute mile then we have another lady that was blind from birth five percent vision and again you know she had an amazing experience with our coherence healing we teach you heal when she opened her eyes she could see faces for the first time and in fact they had these two big bouquets on the stage really big beautiful flowers and you know she had 5% vision so she could just see a little bit of light and she thought they were they were two guards two bodyguards on the stage guarding me the whole event when she sat up she could see flowers and or you see the nurse tell her story or the lady who's allergic to everything at the same event who's wearing a mask with the with the filters in the whole bit that had anaphylactic shock every day of her life by the second day she's on the floor with her mask off dancing around you know the person sits down after they witnessed that when they close their eyes when they do their next meditation their acceptance their belief and their ability to surrender and trust that it could happen to them becomes greater what I want our community to do is say what is standing in the way between me and my ability to connect to that field because I want to eliminate every belief that's every emotion every past you know whatever I want to remove all of those veils why am I doing this because I want to get so good at this we have here some MIT researchers that are gonna that are gonna organize all the data mmm 50% we want I want to get the 50% and then we're gonna walk into Children's Hospital

gonna say what kids just give us

your kids the one we won't touch them we don't want any money all we want to do is help and I think that is it's amazing that's a living organism call the human beings their living organism human being the age of selfish individuality has to end right now the living organism has to take care of one another they have to heal one another they have to teach one another they have to exchange important information amongst one another they have to shine for one another not to be outstanding and it's competitive but to show others that they can shine that's that's the only way we're gonna make our way out of this mess oh my gosh my favorite things that I've ever had said here just because the application of this is beyond just someone going from 5% vision to 95% vision the application of this in humanity and consciousness as you've just described there at the end is what really I'm hearing and seeing all of that that's what fascinates me and I must say to you that you know we all agree that certainly our thoughts can make us unhealthy so if that is true there's got to be a way that the mind and the heart can be able to heal the body as well and I'm fascinated by the study of epigenetics and what you've just covered here is it's a whole new level I love what you said we've poked a hole it's the four-minute mile and but the reason

it's the forment miles

because once the four-minute mile was broken two weeks later everybody was brave because there isn't a new bleed it's a new level of consciousness so so then so the evidence of all these amazing healings and levels healings people are creating new jobs new entrees and the relationships new mystical experiences a transcend language where you just can't be add anymore you know too much after that that's that's the unknown right so in order for you to really begin to explore the unknown aspect of yourself you got to learn how to get beyond the known aspect of your self and if you keep coming back to the known you're gonna miss out on the unknown so you would say well I don't know anything in the unknown of course it's the unknown and if you try to control it there you're back to the known if you try to predict it you're back to the known something you got to go through this trial and error of just kind of refining your attention refining your ability and and it's just got to be something like playing tennis or playing golf or doing martial arts or working out or crocheting dancing the salsa yeah you just got to keep going man in the beginning

it's tedious and then when you start finding your groove

like all right community they don't miss their morning meditations ya know why because the magic is happening and they know if they miss it they're gonna they're gonna cut off from the magic some they whether they're tired whether they're hungover whether they're what they're in right now you know and in a few if you wake up in the morning and you can't get your butt out of bed you know what that means it just means you can predict the feeling of everything that's gonna happen in your life your body's resigned your body's so then so then you know when you went on a school trip when you were kid you know you woke up before your parents yeah you knew something new is gonna happen that's the body going wait got weaker is something unexpected is gonna happen it happen to us this day yes

why not you know

you know put in your put in your time mm-hmm and then and then measure the effects of you would cause I mean become a scientist in your life and really start to experiment with it okay let me change my energy let me just write down four thoughts that like I can it's too hard I'll starting tomorrow this doesn't feel right whatever it is it's big this person's fault just write those down and say these thoughts like Gandalf on the bridge yes you may not pass today this is the end yeah so then if you become conscious of those thoughts now you're the governor of your thoughts what what what actions what behaviors do you want to change do you complain you you judge do you make excuses how do you talk you speak Limited just pick four things that you're not gonna do any longer yeah what emotions get you in trouble what are the emotions that you're addicted to to write that you're addicted to that he'll keep you returning back to your pattern if you don't know close your eyes for about 30 minutes and just watch where your mind goes and watch your feelings and just say okay it's frustration its unworthiness its self-doubt it's guilt its frustration its shame just become conscious of those and just review them in your minds so that you don't go unconscious then when you're waking down

it's so powerful because by the way everyone that's listening this is so awesome because if you've been listening to my content for the last three or four months we've been laying this foundation and now I just bring you this master that takes it to a master class level and explains to you the scientific reasons that these things work but I want to jump back in with you here on something because I just want to do a couple basic application things for everyone here these emotions that our body gets addicted to there's a power everyone because I've experienced this in my own life everything that Joe's explaining here other than healing my own body I watched them happen in my life from the standpoint of becoming something and then these things are in my life rather than me sort of forcing them to happen I mean I think most people that have had any great things happen life can define at least moments of their life where this is just a known truth dr. Joe talks

this epigenetics concept is fascinating me

but at the same time you talk eloquently about only about 1% of us are predisposed to most of these negative ailments and our lives in the first place anyways there's a misnomer but I want to talk about meditation for a second because there's people listening to this that have never done it before so I just want them to start it a bit because the thing that you say that it just is a base level thing by writing these emotions down you either don't want to experience for do or the thoughts that do or don't serve you the power in just that everybody okay I want to go back to what Joe said earlier I just want to give you my two cents on this is you become aware of them when they when they reveal themselves to you just the an awareness gives you a power over them you didn't have before and remember what dr. Joe said before every time you sort of make progress on something like this you are remaking yourself so give yourself credit for these small wins but the cool thing about meditation for me is it strips me of the distractions exactly it strips me of what I see of the kinaesthetic of the auditory can you talk about just that basic concept again I mean this is brilliant because you're a practical guy and so am I so all right so if the word meditation means become familiar with right then you know people say oh well you shouldn't focus on the negative well really that's 95% of who you are and you got to begin to dismantle or denature that old personality and that means you're gonna have to come up against the cravings that the body has emotionally you know like it is it's 8 o'clock in the morning

doing your meditation you're normally in traffic

and you want to get angry and your body's going hey you're off schedule let me just find it something that's mapped in the brain that I'm putting up a past experience why you can feel a little anger well know once you become aware of that now now the game is on right because now you're working to become conscious of that and not go unconscious again and it takes an incredible amount of awareness yes it takes a great amount of consciousness and you can of consciousness without energy so you got to raise your energy in order to get to otherwise you're gonna be consumed you know we turn back right

start becoming familiar so conscious of those unconscious thoughts

they would never slip by your mind and check by you now that is when you really yes yourself right and the research shows that you can get better at this you could actually sense the thought before it comes so then you start firing and wiring new thoughts you start thinking to yourself Who am I gonna be when I open my eyes mmm well how am I gonna how am I gonna make a difference in the world today Who am I gonna be am I gonna love how am I gonna give how am I gonna serve how am I gonna contribute whatever what things do I want to really do today and the in the act of closing your eyes and just thinking about and rehearsing what you're gonna do your brain doesn't know the difference and if you get caught up in it you begin to install the neurological hardware in your brain to look like you've already done it now the brain is no longer a record of the past now it's a map to the future you are prime your brain and if you keep doing it the hardware will become a software program you know what that means you just might start acting like a happy person well there's no surprise there you install the circuits stress hormones arouse the body

attention on your body stress hormones alert the brain

so you're aware of everything in your environment like an octopus with tentacles in all different directions you got to control and predict everything in your life and if you're living by the hormones of stress you're always investing your attention and energy into the known future based on the past so you're on you're on you're in a line of time here the time line so then let's think about it how you gonna make thought more real than anything else I gonna create from quant well let's close our eyes let's disconnect from the environment right less sensory information coming into the brain less distraction as you said let's play some soft music in the background let's stick some earplugs in our ear what if you want to do diminish sensory but now you're sitting down you're not eating you're not tasting you're not smelling you're not feeling so there's more less less sensory input coming into your body so then now your brainwaves begin to change they start slowing down and you move from this beta brainwave pattern where you're aware that you have a body in space and time or your attention is on the outer world or your senses or giving you information less sensory information now your inner world starts becoming more real than the outer world and you're not the voice in your head that's always talking to you as your brainwaves change you start seeing images and pictures and symbols and less in that vocalization that subvocalization

your brainwaves start changing the Alpha

you're gonna start creating start dreaming pretending right so then if you say to your body you're gonna sit down for an hour mmm and I know you're on a program because you wake up every morning and do the exact same thing and now I'm gonna make you sick just like sent to an animal you sit you stay and your body's gonna say I'm gonna die my bladders gonna explode I need a coffee I got a lot of emails to do that's the program and you say to your body today we do battle today this is it and you sit through that and you make your way even though your body's trying to get up and you keep settling it back down I'm telling you when you start your day that day you will be more kind more loving less judgmental more patient more present because you're mastering the present moment that means you're not in the predictable future you're not in the familiar past you're mastering time and so then if where you place your attention is where you place your energy and all of your attention is in the present moment we've got a lot of energy to do amazing things and you know when someone's present with you in your life because they're paying attention to you and you know when they're not present they're not paying attention to you so so the act of getting more present means

putting a lot of energy in the present moment

and you're taking your power back from all these things and people in your life so we teach people this as they start breaking through and they start being able to unfold into this field as an awareness and they're not putting their attention on their boss or their ex or their wife or their kids or their cell phone or their what's a brother Facebook they're there they're there they're not thinking at all so then as they're sensing the space they can't think and if you can't think you can't analyze and if you can't analyze the analytical mind is what separates the conscious mind from the subconscious just opened the door Wow and so now we can reprogram in there all right so then it's so important than that of the infinite places you can put your attention let's put it on your heart now where you place your attention is where you place your energy why because we want this Center to bloom 1,400 1,300 different chemicals that we storm regenerate the body let's breathe let's open this up let's practice this let's start learn how to lead with our heart a different consciousness yeah in the beginning it's a little difficult but you stay with it and you practice it petal by petal by petal you're placing your attention there you're putting your own life force back into your heart you're turning your love inward and the body will start responding and in a week's time if we're doing that three times a day or over and over again

sooner or later that things gonna start blooming

and just like when your sexual organs are aroused and they're engorged with blood this Center when you start feeling loved you make a chemical called oxytocin oxytocin signals nitric oxide nitric oxide signals a chemical called derived endothelial relaxing factor you know what that is it causes the arteries in your heart to literally open up so your heart is gonna be filled with blood and oxygen and nutrients it's physiological it's going to feel full let me you're gonna have a hard on your heart it's gonna write and when that happens you experience a level of love that passes all understanding you your cup runneth over I mean it is and people are in there sobbing because they realize that this the center finally like a child so then back to your question let's demystify meditation because it has so many stigmas around it close your eyes retreat from your life disconnect from your body disconnect from your environment disconnect from your schedule and just give yourself an hour or 45 minutes or in 20 minutes because when you invest in yourself you invest in your future and when you believe in yourself you believe in possibilities and when you believe in possibilities you believe in yourself and if you don't believe in possibilities then you don't believe in yourself and you don't believe in yourself you don't believe in possibilities

a community a living organism

where it's becoming the new normal yes you want to join that living organism and you want to you want to be a part of that and in every every stride you make feeds the living organism every stride every effort you make to connect is is amazing because that which we are seeking is seeking us it's not like it is it matches our efforts and so then when when people have that uncompromising will the same way that they go shopping for a dress or a pair of earrings or go to the gym and workout with the same intensity with the same passion come up against themselves and just say when the body's going given everything it has it's when you say that's all you got that's it that's all you're gonna put out - I'm ready yeah and so then when you start overcoming that the side effect that is that all of a sudden you're happy for no reason mm and you're less seduced in believing that something else you need something outside of it outside of you to make you feel better all of a sudden you're feeling better everyday without anything outside of you mm-hmm and now all of a sudden you start showing up unpredictable in your life they're saying that Ed guy he's different there's different medications but in actuality you're just freer right and so so then as we begin to remove these layers that stop the flow of the divine in us that have an essence in us the side effect is we become more willful you become more mindful become more conscious we become more loving it's it's its nature you know it just it just becomes becomes who we are I love how you explain things that everyone that's listening this has had flickers and little moments in their life of this and there's been a moment or two where you've had that red tie experience there's been that moment or two where you felt bliss or energy and now dr. Joe is beginning to give you the formula and the recipe to do that all the time to be that pert to become that person

one more question for you

and then I want them to get access to you because that's what they all want I have 3,000 more questions for you but in the interest of respecting your time we've talked a lot about and I just people I'd be remiss if I didn't ask ease because I know people say I wish you would ask him this because the first time I didn't ask you this you talked a lot about becoming that child again and I think there's a lot of parents listening to this and so I've read a little bit on your work about children from zero to six or sort of in theta state most of the time and then alpha from like 8 to 12 but if I were a parent how does dr. Joe's work apply and how can i implement it as a parent so that perhaps my child doesn't have all of these negative emotions that their body is addicted to by the time they find themselves at 35 years old running the software program of their life so how would I how would I help my children so I have three kids and I've raised my kids with these principles and and I think there are critical periods edie where certain information is more understood in certain periods where you can you can really advance a teaching or an understanding but the children you know their first six years of their life they're very suggestible to information and their brainwaves are just in a slower pattern so they don't have any critical facilities or analytical facilities

big boys don't cry little girl should be seen

and not heard money is the root of all evil God has mad at you you're gonna go to hell so kids just take that all in without any filter and that becomes the foundation of their personality and our identity then you throw in parents there are ninety five percent of the time running unconscious programs while children of mirror neurons and mirror neurons emulate behavior so when you're feeding your kids when they were young you took that spoon and you went like this we didn't know you were doing that but you were doing that and they were watching you and you were watching them and they were they were turning on the same circuits in their brain that you were turning on just so they could model the behavior

can't say the kid stopped being an emotional basket case

because they're not listening to anything you're saying they're observing behavior tomorrow so when a lioness takes her cubs out to hunt they sit and they watch her and they're when they're watching her she's priming their brain they're actually going to emulate her behavior so as they start observing her they start turning on the same circuits they will when they hunt so they start imprinting it right so then with children then I call it the fast path to enlightenment because if you want to raise a great kid you got to be the example in so you know there's certain principles with children in certain critical periods you don't tell your kids when they're four years old you create your reality fix this you know it's not they're not ready for that but there are certain things at certain periods of time that are really healthy and teaching chill had a shortened refractory period of their emotional reactions is so important in simple things like a trampoline is a great way when a kid is upset just change your stage go yeah let's go okay and they jump when you jump with them ten minutes later it's gone isn't that true

teaching them that kind of emotional intelligence

parents need to know that it's so important to understand and never rationalize with your kid when they're emotional why because you want to hear anything when you're emotional and you want to be left alone because no new information can enter their nervous system that is not equal to the emotion that they're experiencing it's not relevant so then getting them past their emotional state and teaching them how to shorten their refractory period and then timing okay but they start getting ready for bed and it's getting loving and it's getting quiet and they're settling down and get in bed with them and you lay there and you say you know I had a tough day today they just I've been working on my frustration you know and I didn't do very well today I just I got angry at a few points I got frustrated and I stayed that way for like three hours and you just open the door for kids and they'll say yeah you know I was playing the day you know automatically said and I got so frustrated with my friend Paris you know and I'll say well that's all right you know that's normal we all do that but what I care about the most is that if you had another opportunity tomorrow in the same situation how would you do it better and then they'll say well I would do this and then you say really if you do that this is probably gonna happen so let's work on this together so you start building a model and you help them because they're so neuroplastic and then once you get that model in place then you say to them tell me how to do it again what would you do now what are they doing they're rehearsing and so now they're installing circuitry and then you say wait one more time one more time cuz you forgot that one part and you'd be surprised because they're in that right suggestible state and then get the model down

then you say okay I'm gonna tell you a story there was two kid it's a boy and a girl does he'll point ago right and he lived in this magic land and if they're young there's gasoline and there's dragons and this little girl had a best friend you know when you tell the whole story she was making this reaction the same time in the same way and all of a sudden you know she just decided to do something differently and then you repeated him and then he said we know what happened she wound up being happier and more loving to herself and more loving with everybody else and then you know your kids will go was that me can you say I don't know so then you're planting the seed being in your company and listening to you again today I'm just I'm just so grateful for you ha thank you I'm so blown away by you you're such an extraordinary man and I know everybody listening to this or watching it has the same sense I do we're just so grateful you exist and I just I love you so but I want people to get closer to you

it's called becoming supernatural

and spin out for a few years it's just going paperback now okay in March and in a lot of the a lot of the science behind what I'm talking about is in becoming supernatural in and it's a good with every chapter in that book there's exercises and meditations and examples of people who have doing it so it's got a lot of science and a lot of content but I made it simple enough and I talked a lot about the mystical - which is one of my passions you guys all need to plug in here you all got to get access than the other places to go to dr. Joe's Instagram or Twitter as well his social media he's really starting to engage in and the following is flourishing and then after this it's gonna grow even more and so you can connect with him there as well yeah I don't even know what to say - it was so incredible today so I'm just I'm just grateful hey listen I wanted to just say thank you for all the great work you do - and it's just your energy and your humility and your interest in your practical guy like me and hopefully we're making a difference in the world I know you are and I'm glad to be a little part of it today so I love you brother thank you so much hey everybody I know you enjoyed today's program and I know right now you're all going I need to go listen to this I need to share this with somebody I don't even have to ask you to today
