Key Concepts
Emotional States
- Low vs High Emotions: The episode discusses the spectrum of emotional states, from low (negative) emotions that contribute to pain and non-abundance to high (positive) emotions that foster peace and harmony.
- Numbing Pain: Many individuals resort to external distractions (movies, shopping, etc.) to numb their emotional pain, which only leads to temporary relief, as the underlying feelings resurface.
Recognizing Change Opportunities
- The moment when distractions fail signifies a pivotal opportunity for self-reflection and transformation.
- Individuals often face discomfort when they begin to recognize and confront their emotional responses, marking the beginning of genuine change.
Breaking Emotional Patterns
- Dr. Dispenza advises that true change requires breaking “emotional agreements” with past behaviors and relationships.
- Embracing discomfort is essential for growth; that discomfort often signifies the soul's desire for positive change.

Techniques for Emotional Transformation
Self-Observation
- Encouraging individuals to observe their thoughts, feelings, and reactions closely can lead to a deeper understanding of their emotional triggers.
Meditation and Rewiring Thoughts
- Meditation Practice: Meditation serves as a tool to enter elevated emotional states, which can lead to healing and breaking negative patterns.
- Eyes Open Technique: Practicing mindfulness and emotional control with eyes open is crucial for applying learned behaviors to everyday situations.
Emotional Rehearsal
- Mental Rehearsal: Visualizing desired responses to emotional triggers (e.g., interactions with ex-partners) can create new behavioral patterns and responses.
- Belief and Behavior Connection: Repeating positive thoughts and emotions solidifies them in the brain, making them automatic responses.

0:11What is the lowest level of emotion that will keep us stuck in a non-receivership, a non-abundant mentality and state, and a place of pain, versus the highest level of emotion that we could be in more frequently that will allow us to feel more peace and harmony in our health, but also in our life. People by nature want to get over their emotional state. They've just been hypnotized, they've been programmed, they've been conditioned into using something outside of them to take away this feeling inside of them. To numb the pain. Yes, you know you could go watch a movie or you know you can do this, you can do that, you can do all these different things, go out to dinner just just to make the feeling away.
0:54But the problem is the feeling always comes back. Right. And so now when the person reaches that point where they're saying nothing's making this feeling go away. This is game time. This is where the person's not responding to texts any longer. They don't want to go to dinner with the same people. They don't want to do the same things. They don't watch the same TV show. They want to get on the computer any longer. This feeling is disturbing. Nothing's making it. No drug, no shopping spree, no sports car. Nothing's making this feeling go away. This is a key moment, right? Because now the person's going to start to realize that no one or nothing in their life is going to make this feeling go away but them.
1:32This is where the person really decides to change because they can see themselves for the first time because they no longer feel like themselves. They're no longer distracted by that. They can see how they think. They can notice how they've been acting and decide, oh my God, I don't want to do that anymore. The choices they've made or experiences they just want to no longer do and the feelings that they no longer want to feel, right? And they start breaking their emotional agreements with everybody and everything in their life. And people really get worried because they're no longer predictable.
2:01They're not showing up as the memory of themselves. So what do you do? You medicate them. The person's depressed. They're in a midlife crisis. But really, it's the soul saying there's a future. And you may not know what it is. You can't go back to that. You just can't go back any longer. You can't. You already know. You can predict everything that's going to happen. you got to start you got to start saying no or you got to start looking deeper you got to start changing and this is where it's so important for people then to understand that this is not a bad thing this is actually a good thing it just doesn't feel good any longer because you're you're ready to change right so this is what we should be naturally doing so when the person says i want to feel something else in my life than this okay i'm gonna watch how i respond to my co-worker i'm going to re-watch how I respond to my own thoughts.
2:55When did I default today and return back to the old self? And they get really serious about looking closely at how they can change the way they think, act, and feel. And we have so many testimonials of people that were diagnosed with chronic health conditions and they got themselves in their meditations back into elevated emotional states and and change their energy and change their frequency but then they get up from their meditation and they spend the next 15 hours in in fear and frustration why is that though because they went unconscious they defaulted so you got got to get so good at doing it with your eyes closed you got to start doing it with your eyes open oh man and that's the big game that's the game that is the game that is the game that is the game right because this is the plane of demonstration you got to demonstrate if you're going to be relaxed in your heart and awaken your brain you better do with your eyes open so let's practice with our eyes no other way to do it you want to get so good at it that you can do it in the most adverse situations that's you know when you own it right so so then the person then realized that she had to watch her response to her ex she had to watch her response to her bank account she had to watch her response to the news no drug no surgery no chemo no radiation no diet no supplements were taking her health condition away until she realized i had to change right so now she she's she noticed doing her meditations her pain levels went down she noticed she was sleeping better she knew she had more energy but her values for that health condition were still the same and she said it's not that this doesn't work they weren't she wasn't doing her meditations any longer to heal she was doing her meditations to change and so then she'd say okay what do i want to believe today what thought do i want to fire and wire in my brain let me remember it i gotta keep remembering so i don't forget to think this way and a belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again so she wanted to hardwire that in her brain she wanted that to be a new voice in her head because thoughts that wire together fire together and wire together right so then how am I going to behave closing your eyes and rehearsing how you're going to be with your your ex and literally thing there's got to be another way to be I can't respond the way I have respond it's only weakening me I've got to change my state okay I'm going to be loving we rehearse it mental rehearsal we keep doing it rehearsing yourself in the scene planning your behaviors your brain will look like you already did it and if you keep doing it it's going to become more more automatic it's going to become like a software program so now you're doing the meditation to remind yourself who you no longer want to be and remind yourself who you do want to be so now okay the person's now behaves that way and now her response to her ex is different evolution that day and the body's no longer brought back to the past and she does it once and she wants to do it again she wants to get better at it and she starts healing and she says i got to stay in this emotional state i don't care who it is or what it is let me close my eyes i'm going to feel this emotion a hundred times if i have to just so that i can feel it so many times that i can bring it up whenever i want now they're becoming familiar with a new state of being right and when you feel the emotion of your future before it happens you'll always believe in that future wow and if you feel the emotion that keeps you connecting your past, you'll believe in your past.

Dr. Joe Dispenza explains that when people can no longer numb their pain or run from difficult emotions, it creates an opportunity to truly change by observing their thoughts and responses. He discusses techniques to rewire thinking through meditation in order to heal from disease, break negative patterns, and embody desired states of being. Dr. Dispenza emphasizes the importance of rehearsing new emotional states while eyes are open to turn them into automatic habits, as belief shapes biology. Ultimately, he conveys that mastering and sustaining higher frequency emotions leads to transformation in both health and life.
