Dr Joe Dispenza: 4 Hacks to REWIRE YOUR MIND & Attract Your Dreams!

26:09And the act of closing your eyes and mentally rehearsing the act, if you're truly present, the brain does not know the difference between the real life experience and what you're imagining. In fact, just a little bit of time, you start to install the neurological hardware to look like you already did it. Now the brain is no longer a record of the past. It's primed for the future. Keep doing it. Keep rehearsing. No different than playing an instrument, no different than learning how to dance, no different than learning how to act or play a sport. Everybody's always rehearsing, right? The rehearsal process changes the brain to look like you've already done it, you've already experienced it.

26:51Now, what's the essential part of that? The hardware is in place. Now, all you got to do is step into the footprint, keep doing it, it becomes a software program. You start acting like an abundant person. Everything changes. Your energy changes, your mood changes, the way you walk, the way you breathe, your posture changes, you're out of the known. You've got to condition the body now emotionally into the future. You can't open your eyes in the morning until you are feeling worthy to receive. And if you can't feel worthy to receive, then if not, now when? If it takes you two hours to get there, ask me if it's worth 30 years of running, trying to get what you need matter to matter.

27:33so that the person who wrestles with their lack, they're out of the bleachers, and they're on the playing field. Here's what we learned. Let's go back to beliefs now. Remember, belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again. A belief is something that you keep thinking enough times that you hardwired in your brain, and it becomes an automatic program. We have beliefs about all kinds of things, money, relationships, God, whatever it is. It's all based on what we've been told or our past experiences. The boundaries of those beliefs are our emotions, right? So let's just say you got betrayed or somebody abused you or your father told you that money was bad and there's never enough of it or whatever.

28:12That's a story, okay? But somehow it left an impression on you. Remember that event very clearly, and that's kind of rooted in who you are, right? Okay, so that emotion then is the boundary of our belief, okay? So how you think and how you feel creates your state of being. If you take a thought and a feeling, a thought and a feeling, a thought and a feeling, a thought and a feeling, it's called an attitude. If you have a series of good thoughts with a series of good feelings, you say I have a good attitude today. If you have a series of negative thoughts that are connected to a series of negative feelings, you say I have a bad attitude today.

28:46So attitudes are just shortened states of being. Good attitude in the morning, bad attitude in the afternoon. If you take an attitude and attitude and attitude and you keep those up, and you string attitudes together, you create what's called a belief. And a belief is just an extended state of being. So if you keep thinking the same thought, you keep hardwiring it in the brain, you keep feeling the same feeling, you keep conditioning in your body, the redundancy of that cycle over and over again conditions the body to subconsciously become the mind of that belief. And all beliefs are subconscious states of being.

29:20Okay. Take a belief, a belief, a belief, and you string them together. You form what's called a perception. And perceptions are just such extended states of being that we're unconscious. And so then we edit out reality. In fact, most people don't see things the way they are. They see things the way they are. And people are always filling in reality unconsciously based on their memory. They could be married to a person for 40 years, and they don't see the person. They see the memory of the person. And there's research to prove this. Okay. So how do we change a belief or perception about ourself for our lives?

29:57Okay. We've studied this. Okay. Let's just say that lack is ingrained in there. You got the story, you lived on the streets, you lost everything, you got betrayed, your business partner took everything, took your wife, took, you got the story in the half. Okay. Okay. You got to start telling the new story of the future, right? You got to believe in that future more than you have to believe in the past. So how do you do that? You only believe in the past when you feel the emotions of the past. The only time you're going to believe in the future is when you feel the emotions of the future, right?

30:27Okay. So in order for us to change a belief or perception about ourself and our lives, we have to make a decision with such firm intention that the amplitude of that decision carries a level of energy that's greater than the hardwired programs in your brain and the emotional conditioning in your body. And your body literally has to respond to your mind. that the choice that you're making to change in that moment becomes a moment in time that you never forget. And here's the key. Physically. Physically. The stronger the emotion you feel when you make that choice, the more you'll remember the decision.

31:07Okay, so then how do we downregulate that old belief? If the trauma created an emotional quotient of six or seven, then your decision to change your beliefs has got to be a nine. Right. And you've got to come out of your resting state, and that moment has to define you. You could say, I know exactly where I was, the time and day it was, who I was with, when I made my mind up to change. Because you created a long-term memory. Long-term memories are created from strong emotion. But if the amplitude of that emotion is greater than the betrayal, boom, the body starts responding to the mind. And you're actually giving your body a taste of the future emotionally.

31:47So you brand your... What's possible. No, your body's actually getting the taste of that future event. It's experiencing the future now. Exactly. Big explosion in the quantum field. Big explosion. So the side effect of that is if you combine that clear intention with that elevated emotion, you're basically remembering your future. And it looks no different than remembering your past. Think neurologically within the circuits of that memory and feel within the emotions of that new belief and watch your life begin to change because nothing changes in our life that we change. And when we change our energy, we change our life.

32:25So now the experiment all of a sudden is no longer based on it being hard or trying or wishing or wanting or hoping. That's what we do when we're in lack or separation. It's about change. So then when we finally realize in order for us to become abundant, we have to overcome the old personality. And that's 95 % of who we are, right? Yes. So then the side effect of the beginning of this process is a lot of discomfort. It is a lot of discomfort because you're stepping outside the known into the unknown. And now you can't predict. It's scary. No, no. You'd rather hold on to your lack. The pain. The suffering.

33:06And rather tell the story of that. At least it makes you feel something that's familiar. When you step outside and you're saying, I'm not going to complain about money any longer. I'm not going to complain about I don't have any. I'm not going to judge other people who do. I'm not going to say I can. I'm not worthy. It's never going to work. All those things got to go. I'm not going to feel lack. I'm not going to feel unworthy. I'm not going to feel separation. I'm not going to feel resentment. These are the things that are keeping my reality the same. Now it's no longer about abundance, about who you become.

33:33So the overcoming process becomes the becoming process. And so many people come through this work. They want abundance. They want healing. They want a new relationship. They want a new career. They want the mystical. But really, they want wholeness. They want healing. They want peace. They want wholeness. Because they feel unwhole. Well, when you're in lack or in separation, you're not whole. Imagine feeling so much wholeness that's impossible to want. That's what we're working on with people. Then you can really enjoy a sunset. Then you can really enjoy a meal. Then you can really enjoy your friends.

34:10I talk to people that are very abundant. I mean, in the billions abundant. And, you know, so many of them say we are in misery. We're in agony because they can't enjoy life anymore. That's what they want. I mean, people want abundance to be able to enjoy life. They want to be able to do whatever they want with whoever they want as many times as they want wherever they want. That's freedom, right? People want abundance. The sponsoring thought is really they want freedom, right? Or whatever their sponsoring thought would be. So then creating from the field instead of from matter to shorten the distance between cause and effect requires that clear intention with that elevated emotion, coherent brain and coherent heart.

34:53Tune into that energy and feel it with your brain and your heart. I mean, we have plenty of ways to do that. Examine your personality and examine your personal reality. Change your personality. Change your personal reality. Don't make it be about abundance. They mean about becoming abundant by overcoming the person who's not abundant. The person who heals themselves from a health condition, who's no longer thinking the same way, no longer acting the same way, no longer feeling the same way. You ask them where that disease is when they stand on the stage in front of 1 ,500 people or 3 ,000 people, and that's a four-minute mile.

35:29Everybody's leaning in. That's truth right on the stage. They say, where is the disease? Oh, it lives in the old person. Wow. I'm somebody else. that's like that's I don't even that's not even a story that's not even who I am any longer so lo and behold when we do our research and people do this in seven days of going all in at the end of seven days their body looks like genetically with all the metabolites that they're literally in a different environment you know here's the weird part they're in a ballroom Right. There's not a lot happening in a ballroom. What's happening in a ballroom? I've been to thousands of ballroom.

36:09Yeah. But the environment somehow looks like they're living in a very prosperous, very healthy, very loving, nurturing, very whole environment. Why? Because they were signaling genes ahead of the environment. And if the environment signals the gene, okay, that's epigenetics. The end product of the experience in the environment is an emotion. If you feel the emotion before the experience, you're signaling the gene ahead of the environment. And genes make proteins. And proteins are responsible for the structure and the function of your body. Look at Jack, by the way. I like that. Look at the muscle over here.

36:42The expression of proteins is the expression of life. I couldn't get my mind to do what I wanted to do. And then after six weeks, I just went through the whole thing. I felt like I hit a golf ball right in the sweet spot. Something clicked. And from that point forward, what took me two and a half or three hours to do, I was able to do in 45 minutes. I was firing and wiring these new circuits. and I was practicing paying attention. And then all of a sudden, I started noticing dramatic changes in my health like this. And the moment I started noticing changes in my body, what was going on outside of me, I started correlating at what I was doing inside of me.

37:17Now I was just hooked and I just started doing it with more passion and more sincerity. Anyway, back on my feet in 10 and a half weeks, back training in 12 weeks, back in my clinic. And I just made a deal with myself that if I was ever able to walk again, I'd spend the rest of my life studying the mind-body connection and mind over matter. And then that led me to just stop everything in my life. I just wasn't the same guy. I'd just been initiated into something and sold my practice, sold my home. You sold it all. Sold it all, moved to the Northwest, and just started asking bigger questions like, who am I?

37:48Why am I here? What are we doing? What happens when we die? And how did all this happen for me? What was the process? I started studying the science behind it, and I couldn't find it in any conventional textbooks because this was unconventional, right? And miraculous is kind of unconventional. So I started studying quantum physics and neuroscience and epigenetics, and it started making sense. I started building this model of understanding. Then I asked the fundamental question, has anybody else done it? So then I traveled to 17 different countries and interviewed hundreds and hundreds of people with serious health conditions that were treating either conventionally or unconventionally.

38:27They were staying the same or getting worse. And all of a sudden they got better. So what was the cause that produced the effect? And the stories and what I learned was so amazing. I went back to school and studied neuroscience because mind was such a strong element. It wasn't diet. It wasn't celibacy. It wasn't any of those things. It was just really this element. And so then I was able to figure out that there were four common things. And then I wrote a book about it. And then I thought, God, if this works really on people that were sick and are better and they come from all walks of life, all colors, all races, all genders, sexual preferences.

39:04But all of a sudden, I wanted to see if I was able to reproduce it. So then I started seeing, OK, let's see if we can teach this, be able to reproduce the outcome. because that's science, right? So we went through about... What were the four common things? The first one was that they all believed and accepted that there was an intelligence that lived within them that was giving them life. These people you interviewed who had had injuries that overcame... No, no, no. These were people with cancer, MS, lupus, Parkinson's disease. Who got better. Yeah, just spontaneously. It was called a spontaneous formation.

39:38They believed there was an intelligence. There was some invisible life force that they were connected to that they felt like they had lost their connection to. They became separate and disconnected from. And that when they got the diagnosis, they woke up and said, man, I got to connect again and I got to connect to my essence. And so they developed a relationship with it, just like you develop a relationship with anybody. It takes time. You got to be present. You got to connect. You got to experience. You got to be present. All of these things are important elements. So that was the first thing.

40:10The second thing was that they realized that it was the mismanagement of their emotions and the hormones of stress that really began to create their condition. Now, stress is when your brain and body are knocked out of balance. Stress is when your body is knocked out of homeostasis. We have an innate mechanism in our body that returns us back to order. So then if someone cuts you off on the LA freeway, you have an emotional reaction. but 15 minutes later, you're back to driving and you're over it, right? That's all organisms in nature can tolerate short-term stress. But when it's all day long, all week, all year.

40:46Yeah. So if you're reacting to, like if Tyrannosaurus rex is chasing you, you have to make a decision. Am I going to use 20 % of my energy? I'm going to use 100%. So it turns out when you're reacting to traffic. 200%. Oh, right. Or if you're reacting to your coworker sitting in the cubicle next to you, you're turning on that response. And what was once very adaptive becomes very maladaptive. Because when you turn on the stress response and you can't turn it off, now you're headed for disease because nobody can live in emergency mode for that extended period of time. Well, human beings, we can turn on the stress response just by thought alone.

41:17You can think about your problems and you're producing the same biological effects. So those chemicals give the brain and body a rush of energy. And people become addicted to that rush of energy. So now they use the problems and conditions in their life to reaffirm their addiction to that emotion. They need the bad job. They need the poor relationship. So that means they become addicted to the life that they don't even like. Why do we need the bad job or bad relationship and stay stuck in us? Because it's a conditioned response. So listen, if you get angry at a co-worker and all of a sudden you get an arousal in your brain and body, right?

41:54You get a rush of energy. When you start noticing that your body starts dropping, your brain starts noticing your energy starts dropping, you're automatically going to have the image of the co-worker in order to what give your body the net jolt the jolt right so all of a sudden people become addicted to their own thoughts right so these people realize that oh my god um i i've been mismanaging my attention and energy and i gotta i gotta get beyond my past i gotta get beyond these emotions i gotta make some big change is I got to break the habit of being myself you know I got to stop being this person now that sounds really good theoretically and philosophically but change is such a hard thing right because the moment you come back to your senses and you step back into your life and you see that person or you go to that place or you're with that experience so many people are unconsciously reacting in their thoughts and feelings to everything in their environment so So now their environment is controlling how they think and feel.

42:57So they realize that in order to change, they've got to be greater than their environment, greater than the conditions in the world, greater than the circumstances. Be mindful of that every time it comes up to be like, okay, I'm going to think differently. I'm not going to react this way. I'm not going to go back. I'm not going to go back. Because the moment you start reacting emotionally, emotions are a record of the past. And if those emotions are driving your thoughts, you're thinking in the past. And if you can't think greater than how you feel and you believe your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, you're creating more of your past, right?

43:29So it turns out that the repetition of thinking and feeling and feeling and thinking, these loops that people get caught in, condition their body to subconsciously become the mind of that emotion. Which means now their body is their unconscious mind is believing they're living in the same past experience 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. What's the relevance behind that? Well, the latest research on genes says genes don't create disease. It's the environment that signals the gene that creates disease. The emotional environment or the physical environment? Your environment, any environmental reaction.

44:03But if you're reacting emotionally to your environment the same way, you're signaling the same gene in the same way. And now you're headed for a genetic destiny. So the hormones of stress push the genetic buttons that create disease. If you can turn on the stress response just by thought alone, your thoughts could make you sick. And if your thoughts can make you sick, is it possible that your thoughts can make you well? So they began to realize that, oh, my God, the repetition of thinking and feeling and feeling and thinking caused me to feel guilt. And I don't even know it's guilt. It just feels like me.

44:33It's just I'm used to the same chemical continuity. Now, the moment they decided to change, anytime you decide to change and change anything about yourself, get ready because it's going to feel uncomfortable. It's going to hurt. You're going to leave the known. Yeah. You're going to leave the familiar and you're going to step into the unknown. Even if the familiar is uncomfortable and painful, it's still going to be painful leaving the pain. Right. Because some people are super happy being unhappy. Right. So then they would rather cling to their suffering than take a chance and possibility. So these people said, I really have nothing to lose, right?

45:05So then they said, I'm willing to be uncomfortable and be in the unknown. And it turns out that's the perfect place to create from. So when the body is conditioned to become the mind, then to change is to be greater than the body. Right? Probably become greater than the body. Well, that's a whole other conversation. But let me finish this. Okay? So the third thing they said was, okay, so now that I know that I've got to break the habit of being myself and I can't mismanage my thoughts and feelings, I've got to change how I act. I've got to watch how I speak. I've got to become conscious of how unconscious I am because 95 % of who we are by the time we're 35 years old is a set of memorized behaviors like a computer program, emotional reactions, unconscious beliefs and perceptions.

45:50So the first step to change is to become conscious of how you think, to notice how you act, to pay attention to how you feel. And the act of observing those states of mind and body separates you from that program. Now you're the consciousness observing that program. It turns out the more conscious you become of how unconscious you are, you know, lighting a match in a dark place, that first step creates enormous amounts of chaos in the brain and body. And it's disturbing. So people just go back to the same addiction, the same emotion, the same problem. This feels better. No, that feels familiar.

46:23So they said, okay, now I got to change. I got to reinvent myself. Now, this is really important because they started sitting down and thinking, okay, who in history do I admire? Who are great people, role models that I can follow? What are the qualities and characteristics that they have? How am I going to change? You know, these are what we call frontal lobe questions. The creative center of the brain switches on and the emotional center settles down. So then they started thinking, how would I have to be in a new life if I was really going to heal? What would I have to change about myself? Now, there's this interesting phenomenon that if you close your eyes and you begin to think about doing something, you're an athlete, you understand this.

47:03If you're a background in football and you are running a pattern or you are doing something, you would rehearse it in your mind. It turns out that the act of mentally rehearsing something when you're truly present, your brain does not know the difference between what's going on out there and what's going on in here. In fact, your brain will begin to look like you've been doing it for the last five days and you've never run the course. So now your brain is no longer a record of the past because typically it is. Now it's a map to the future. So now you're priming your brain. So that became the very platform.

47:37You know, experiments with piano players. You know, you take a group of people that never played the piano before. You divide them into two different categories. Take one group of people. You teach them one-handed scales and chords. You do a brain scan on them. They come and practice for two hours a day for five days. At the end of five days, if you re-scan the brain, they grow new circuits on the opposite side of the brain. Nothing magical there. You learn something new. Learning's making new connections. Get some instruction. You get instruction. You get your body involved. Get your body involved.

48:05You're going to have an experience. Experience enriches the brain. Pay attention to what you're doing. You've got to pay attention and repeat it, firing and wiring. You're going to assemble new circuits. You can take the other group of people, have them come for two hours a day for five days do a brain scan before the brain scan after have them close their eyes and mentally rehearse playing those scales and chords at the end of five days they'll grow the same amount of circuits in their brain as the people who actually physically demonstrated the action what does that mean it means not only they change their brain by thinking differently but their brain looks like they've been playing the piano for five days now set them in front of a piano never played the piano before they'll play those scales and chords because their brain is wired to play it so now Now, the act of rehearsing who they're going to be, what are the qualities and beginning to get in this creative state, began to lay down the circuits of a new personality.

48:57And a new personality is connected to a new personal reality. So the next question is, does that change the body? Take a group of men, have them do one-handed curls in their mind and bring an emotional component like stronger, harder, more intense. One hour a day for two weeks. at the end of two weeks 13.5 increase in muscle strength wow never lifted a weight now their body is changing by thought alone so these people began to reprogram their brain and body and all of a sudden they began to act differently why because they installed the circuits they began to think differently of course they began to feel differently they they were no longer feeling pain, they're actually liking themselves, right?

49:42So then if they're living by a different emotion and they're feeling an elevated emotion before they're healing, before they were healed, they're not waiting for their healing to feel joy and gratitude. They're feeling gratitude and joy. Now their body's believing that it's healed because the body's feeling the emotion ahead of the experience. And if the environment signals the gene and the end product of an experience in the environment is emotion, you're signaling the gene ahead of the environment. And what do genes do. Genes make proteins. So what are proteins responsible? The structure and function of the body.

50:12Now you're literally becoming somebody else. And now you're turning down the genes for disease and you're turning up these other genes. So I started to realize that this reinvention process is exactly what we've always done. It's just that we get complacent in certain areas of our life and we stop. Now, the last thing they had in common, the fourth thing, is that when they were doing that rehearsal process, they had long moments where they lost track of time and space. In other words, they were so involved in their inner world of imaging that when they turn the light on in the room or they lift their blindfold up or whatever they were doing, they thought it was 20 minutes later and it was an hour and 20 minutes later.

50:51And when you're truly focused and you're truly paying attention and you're in the present moment, all of a sudden you will leave this three-dimensional reality. And when you leave this three-dimensional reality, there's only one other place you go. And that is the realm of thought. And that's called the quantum field. And that quantum field is where all possibilities exist, right? So they were connecting to a field of information that had everything to do with the first principle, which is that invisible intelligence that's both within us and all around us, personal and universal. It is the unifying field that governs everything material in this world.

51:26And if you're going to change something material, that means you've got to get beyond your body to heal your body. Right. Because if you're your body trying to heal your body, there's one thing that we can guarantee it's going to take time. It's going to just take a long time because you're playing by the rules of Newtonian physics. You play by the rules of quantum physics. Energy dictates matter. So when you're truly in the field and you're making changes there, then the downward cascade neurologically, biologically, chemically, hormonally, genetically is the side effect of what's happening in the field.

51:55It accelerates. It accelerates it, exactly. So you do it in less time because you're more connected to a realm that doesn't play by time.

52:27friend on social media and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts as well. Let me know what you enjoyed about this episode in that review. I really love hearing feedback from you and it helps us figure out how we can support and serve you moving forward. And I want to remind you if no one has told you lately that you are loved, you are worthy, and you matter. And now it's time to go out there and do something great.
