Break Free From TRAUMA & HEAL | Dr. Joe Dispenza EP 554

0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:10how quickly can we heal something that's been inside of our body inside of our mindset for decades that we've never let go of and it's a part of us how quick are we able to do that from past trauma here's the deal with trauma and it's kind of an interesting thing because when you're traumatized some threat or some danger or some condition in your outer world through your senses is changing how you feel in your inner world. And the quotient of change between the way you normally feel in some alarm state, when you change your internal state and move into that emergency mode, you narrow your focus on the cause and the brain freezes an image and takes a snapshot.

0:51And that's called the long-term memory. And now that image is branded holographically into the brain. So then we remember experiences better because we can remember how they feel. that memory then changes the person's biology. So they think neurologically within the circuits of that experience, and they feel chemically within the boundaries of those emotions, and how we think and feel becomes our state of being. So now the person biologically has changed, and many times it's the strong emotion that begins to select and instruct the gene that creates disease. Why? Because if the environment signals the gene, and that's the truth, that's epigenetics, and the end product of an experience in the environment is an emotion, The emotion that you feel from that event is literally selecting the gene for you to begin to change.

1:38And genes make proteins. And so the person, if it's strong enough, begins to wear their trauma, not just in their brain. Now it's in their body because every time they think about that trauma, every time they review it, every time they keep creating the imagery, they keep firing and wiring the circuits in their brain, and they keep feeling the feeling emotionally in their body. And their body is so objective that it's believing it's living in the same past experience 50 to 100 times a day. And all you need is a stimulus and a response, an image and an emotion, a thought and a feeling. And you're conditioning the body into the past.

2:11Well, you're conditioning the brain and body into the past. So then you asked if is it possible then that people can heal that quickly in one week? Yeah, because what if they create an inner event that carries an amplitude of gratitude or joy or freedom? breakthrough from the chains of the past when the body is liberated and you feel that elevated emotion the stronger the emotion you feel from that breakthrough the more you're going to pay attention to the image in your mind and now you're now beginning to brand new circuitry in the brain and your body's being conditioned into a new future and the stronger the emotion you feel the more you pay attention to the picture the more you're conditioning the body over time to the future instead of the past.

2:53So now you keep knocking on that genetic door emotionally, then that emotion ultimately signals a new gene that upregulates that gene to produce better proteins. And the person then all of a sudden starts healing. And we have researched to show that people can do that in four days, signal genes to reduce cancer cells, to signal stem cells, to go to active tissues and repair them and regenerate them and suppress inflammation. In four days, you can start to reverse some of the damage you've done in your body, depending on the degree of damage it sounds like. But in four days, by simply replacing the imagery, the visualization, the acknowledgement to a different emotion, an emotion of joy, gratitude, peace, perspective, acceptance.

3:41I'm assuming these things. A vision of your future. A vision of what you want that's positive as opposed to a vision that is tied to a negative event of the past over and over every single moment of the day. Your body will start to heal. Your immune system will start to heal. You'll start to shift your genes. Gene expression. Absolutely. What's the difference between gene expression and just genes? Well, you know, you come with a lot of genes and they're just a library of potentials. They're just a storehouse of information of possibilities. So then you've got to get the right signal, the right lock into the key that begins to select and instruct genes that cause genes to make different proteins.

4:16And you can regulate so many different genes, the same genes, you can regulate them differently. So when they upregulate, they start producing really healthy and robust proteins. That's enzymes, that's tissue, that's structure, that's function, that's hormones, immunoglobulins. when they down-regulate because of some alarm when there's not a lot of energy for long-term building projects well then you keep doing that then the body starts producing cheaper proteins it's a different signal it's not a time for growth then it makes sense then if you had experience of trauma say for example and it's created the feeling of fear and your fear is that it could happen again you don't know this but every time you think about that future that possible worst case scenario and you feel the emotion you're conditioning your body to become the mind subconsciously of anxiety.

5:02So now all you need now is some cue in your outer environment that says it's unsafe, that there's damage there, that you're a victim, something's bigger than you that could have an effect on you. Well now that feeling of fear is going to cause you to think thoughts equal to it. So the person then no longer needs the environment to feel that fear. They just have to have the thought about that condition now. And now they're literally knocking their brain and body out of balance by thought alone. And the body's constantly living in emergency mode. And it takes a lot of energy, a lot of resources to live in emergency mode all the time.

5:45And guess what system becomes compromised by it? Immune system. Your immune system. Why? Because you have two protection systems. You have a system that protects you from dangers in your outer world. That's the gas pedal. That's the sympathetic nervous system. That's the fight or flight nervous system. Danger, threat out there. Use all the energy because you got to survive it. And when you survive, you got to take care of your body. That system can work really well short term. It doesn't work really well if you keep it on all the time. Because if you're mobilizing all that energy for some threat in your outer world, there's no energy in your inner world for growth and repair.

6:18There's no energy for long term building projects. And energy leaves the brain and it leaves the heart. and it moves into these lower centers because now you're tapping the body's resources because there is an emergency. But whether the emergency is real or imagined, whether your anger is valid or justified or not, you're tapping the body's very energy to heal by doing this. And the immune system says, well, we're part of really the other nervous system. We're the brake, we're the clutch. We need to get into relaxation. We need to get back into balance again. And when we do, then we'll metabolize, then we'll assimilate properly.

6:52So now you got this kind of battle between the gas pedal and the brake, and the immune system says, hey, listen, if there's foreign agents, if there's viruses, bacteria, molds, funguses, listen, we don't have a whole lot of energy here to deal with them because we're fighting this war out there. There's no homeland security. So they shut down certain receptors in the immune system. They shut down function of those lymphocytes, those white blood cells that are your inner army of protection. and it takes a lot of energy to fight a virus and a bacteria. But if there's no energy, hey, listen, it takes energy to raise the body's temperature.

7:28Where do you think that comes from? That's part of that branch called the autonomic nervous system. And the sympathetic, the gas pedal is part of it. And the parasympathetic is the clutch is part of that autonomic nervous system. And it's a check and balance. So you stay in emergency for an extended period of time. And now you're exposed to some antigen. There's no energy to deal with it. then you are victim to your environment because every time you react to your environment and you say that person that circumstance is controlling the way i feel and the way i think if something outside of you is controlling your feelings and thoughts then it makes you a victim to your environment so then yes so you will be more victimized you could be more of a victim to other things in your environment people don't understand this consciously because it's a program subconsciously.
