CONTROL YOUR MIND With These 6 SECRETS FOR SUCCESS | Joe Dispenza & Lewis Howes

so now your brain is no longer a record of the past now it's a map to the future oh my god i'm more of the creator of my life and the less of the victim i am of my life i think we're in an age of information and in an age of information ignorance is a choice 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 now i was just hooked if you want to change your life you need to start by being in control of your thoughts and in this video dr joe dispenza teaches you the secret to controlling your mind i just feel like people are still in a lot of pain and trauma and overwhelm especially if you consume the media in the news please stop and minimize that because i think it only creates more stress when people say this is going to be the worst week of any week and it's going to be more deaths like what can people do in a simple practical step when they just feel like man there's so much in my head right now what can i do to start to slow down my heart rate just a little bit to start thinking more calmly and make better decisions yeah you know i think that the moment we switch on that system for alert or for emergency um we alter ourselves in some way and and all of that uh response that we have to an environment that we perceive as threatening or dangerous um pretty much causes us to move out of balance and when you're out of balance you're you're in survival when you're in survival you want to rush to get things done you can't be present you know you uh you believe everything that equal to the feeling of fear or hostility because information is is relevant to you in that emotional state so uh teaching people then that they have some type of control over that that that sympathetic response that emergency system that switches on is preparing you for something you can't predict that's an unknown something uh that um you can't control and that survival system causes us to move more into our animal nature and we're tapping our bodies vital resources for health and regeneration so short term it's great but you keep doing it over and over again you start becoming more and more conditioned to that rush of energy so teaching people how to self-regulate teaching them how to move back into the present moment teaching them that they can shorten their responses it's it's really not that you react i mean we all react the question is how long are you going to react for because if you keep that reaction going then then you can't perceive any change in your environment you won't have any ability to heal so you become more affected by your environment so simple process of getting back into the present moment uh self-regulating trading that fear uh to for some other emotions yeah and that that's doing the work and and the practice and that's what we should be doing because now we have energy to heal we have energy from repair we have energy um to create now and and we're we're not losing energy now we're we're gaining energy and yeah that's now that signals the immune system as we talked about and that's what causes t cells to make uh anti antibodies and antigen the immunoglobulins uh that fight antigens and and now your your internal defense system can can take care of the micro world where there are invaders where there are attackers and you have energy to heal and your immune system as we said is always combating viruses and and bacteria and and if you're less responsive to your environment emotionally then you're less responsive to your environment physically and you have more energy and and people just need to know the information because that empowers them to begin to make different choices and now that you know you can apply knowledge and make a different choice demonstrate a different behavior create a new experience and that new experience creates a new emotion wow then all of a sudden now you uh you start learning new things and you start stepping away from your old self and and that's what you want people to do biology changes what does gratitude do for us in replacing that kind of anxiety and fear well i mean uh we've done research on gratitude and it's very interesting because when you receive something you've just received something uh when something's happening to you or something just happened to you that's favorable you feel this feeling of gratitude so yes the emotional signature its signature emotionally means something just happened to you or something is happening to you so your body is so objective that it doesn't know the difference between an experience in your life that creates an emotion and an emotion that you can fabricate by thought alone to the body it's so objective it's exactly the same so when people start to feel gratitude their body is believing that something favorable is going to happen to them that is absolutely or has already happened to them really the emotional signature of gratitude is the perfect signature or the state of energy to receive so so when we begin to embrace our future and we give gr we feel gratitude for it we will believe that future is more of a reality because it's equal to the emotion that we're experiencing but we're feeling the emotion before the actual event occurs so gratitude in a sense you could use it to elevate your energy and when you do just 10 15 minutes a day you'll strengthen your immune system by 50 wow just by having gratitude for 10 15 minutes yes because your body starts to put energy right in your heart center and there's a gland in there that we talked about in your show called a plan that has an endocrinological aspect an immunological aspect and it begins to signal chemicals that tells your t cells strengthen you got energy to like modify and create more receptors for anything coming out and now your inner environment is doing that and your t cells make these antibodies these uh immunoglobulins that yes out of the body's natural flu shot it's proteins that protect cells especially immune cells and now you have an internal army an internal order that that will be greater than the environment and now you have now you have strength you know and you from a suggestibility standpoint you only accept believe and surrender to thoughts equal to your emotional state so if people are in fear then the information that comes in equal to fear they will begin to resonate with or relate with because it's equal to that emotion so they'll accept the information they'll believe the information they'll surrender to the information without ever analyzing it programs us into certain limited behaviors so then when you feel gratitude the thoughts that you think the the dreams that you create you begin to feel the future now something else happens you start creating a huge change in the information and you program your autonomic nervous system to program your body to become that future and and people are doing it 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 per sexual preferences but all of a sudden i wanted to see if i was able to reproduce it so then i started seeing okay 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 uh the first one was that there they all believed and accepted that there was an intelligence that lived within them that was giving them life and these people you interviewed who had had injuries that overcame no no these were people with cancer ms lupus parkinson's disease got better yeah just spontaneously and it's called the spontaneous reaction so i was i believe there was an intelligence there was some invisible life force that was 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 gotta connect again and i gotta connect to my essence uh and so they developed a relationship with it just like you develop a relationship with anybody it takes time you gotta be present you gotta connect you gotta experience uh you gotta be present all of these things are important elements so so that was the first thing the 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 now stress is when your brain and body are knocked out of balance the stress is when your body's knocked out of homeostasis we have an innate mechanism in our body that returns us back to order so then if you're 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 uh all organisms and nature can tolerate short-term stress when it's all day long all week all year yeah so if you're reacting to like a tyrannosaurus rex is chasing you uh 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 right or if you're reacting to your co-worker sitting in the cubicle next to you right you're 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 you 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 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 you 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 next 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 changes i gotta break the habit of being myself you know i gotta stop being this person now that sounds really good theoretically and philosophically but change is such a hard thing all 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 now their environment is controlling how they think and feel so they realize that in order to change they've got to change the environment they've got to be greater than their environment greater than the conditions in the world great in the circumstances be mindful of that every time okay i'm going to think differently i'm not going to react right 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 so 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 seven 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 but 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 could make you sick is it possible that your thoughts could 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 it'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 you're going to leave the gnome yeah you're going to leave the familiar and you're gonna step into the unknown even if the familiar is uncomfortable and painful right you're still gonna 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 in possibility so these people said i really have nothing to lose right so 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 because we become greater than the body well that's a whole nother conversation but let me finish this okay so the third thing they said was okay so now that i know that i got to break the habit of being myself and i can't mismanage my thoughts and feelings i got to change how i act i got to watch how i speak i got to become conscious of how unconscious i am because 95 of who we are by the time we're 35 years old it's a set of memorized behaviors like a computer program emotional reactions unconscious beliefs and perceptions so 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 you're the consciousness observing that program and turns out the more conscious you become of how unconscious you are you know letting 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 so they said okay now i gotta change i gotta reinvent myself now this is really important because they started sitting down and thinking okay who in history do i admire where 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 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 if you're a background in football and you're running a pattern or you were doing something you would rehearse it in your mind 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 you 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 you take one group of people you teach them one-handed scales and chords you do a brain scan on them they come in practice for two hours a day for five days at the end of five days if you rescan 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 you're gonna have an experience experience enriches the brain pay attention to what you're doing you gotta pay attention and repeat it firing and wiring you're gonna 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 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 and 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 uh 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 one 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 so that if they're living by a different emotion and they're they're feeling an elevated emotion before their 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 is 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 and the environment is emotion you're signaling the gene ahead of the environment and what do genes do genes make proteins and what are proteins responsible the structure and function of the body now 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 that 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 turned the light on 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 and 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 it is the unifying field that governs everything material in this world and 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 with rooms 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 doing what's happening in the field 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 now we have proof and evidence and science backing all this and how did that start to happen yeah it's a great dialogue because i think this is a time in history where it's not enough to know there's a time in history to know how and if you rewind the tape 10 years ago you know information was the thing that stimulated thought stimulated new ideas and and as we learn new things we make new connections in our brains so as we begin to add new stitches into that three-dimensional tapestry in our mind we're beginning to cause our mind to function in new ways but the key then is to apply it to personalize it to do something with it in in 10 years ago when i went got in front of an audience and talked about the application nobody wanted to step outside that philosophical theoretical intellectual realm right because doing something means you're going to have to change something about yourself yeah you're gonna get uncomfortable right and um i think we're in an age of information and in an age of information ignorance is a choice and because of technology we have access to so much content and information creates awareness and awareness is consciousness and you can't have consciousness without energy there they work together so there's an energetic change i think that's taking place in the world right now where people are so informed that old models old paradigms are beginning to break down whether it's the medical model or the religious model the education model journalism uh the economy you know politics it's all beginning to come to the surface because something else has to come out and and i think that one of the things that people are realizing is that you don't have to be a buddhist monk to do this or a nun with 40 years of devotion you just got to understand the formula and just like any skill or anything you learn you got to go from thinking to doing to being you got to take knowledge you create the experience and if you keep doing it over and over again you start getting a skill or you start getting wise about how to do it and you you know that you know how to do it well in the last 10 years we have assembled the scientific team and let's see if you can really make significant brain changes i don't want those changes to just be in your mind i want them to be in your brain i want to be able to see before and after pictures to say that person has a significant change after a traumatic brain injury or anxiety or depression or a cyclic mood disorder or a stroke we want to see that there's been significant change at the same time let's measure your brain in real time and let's look to see what that transformation process looks like and in the discovery lewis of that process we gained so much knowledge about what that transformational process looks like in other words i can tell you without a doubt that if you're analyzing your life right now within some disturbing emotion that 100 of the time you're going to make your brain worse if you think about your life if you're stuck in an emotion like you're frustrated you're angry you're fearful resentful resentful and you're thinking within that emotional state in other words you can't think greater than how you feel that means then you were thinking in the past because those emotions are a record or residue of the past so we see people in the process of change that are analyzing and uh in duality or polarity that kind of drives the brain into higher states of arousal and and further away from true change so we did we've done thousands and thousands and thousands of brain scans and and we now know that there's a formula to create greater brain coherence greater brain efficiency to make your brain work better and when your brain works better you work better at the same time it requires a clear intention and an elevated emotion to begin to change your energy and to change your life and nobody changes until they change their energy right so then how do you get a person out of resentment frustration into joy and freedom if why would they feel grateful or joyful or free if the experience hasn't happened so most people are spending the majority of their life waiting for something out there to take away their emptiness or pain or the resentment in here well if they're they're waiting their whole life in separation or lack then and and we create reality then the lack is driving certain thoughts which is creating more separation and more lack so teaching people then to begin to condition their body emotionally before the evidence takes place in their life is breaking a significant habit right so instead of living by cause and effect now we're beginning to cause an effect so the moment you start feeling whole and grateful we now know your healing will begin at that moment yes the moment you start feeling um worthy and abundant your wealth is coming you know you're generating a certain amount of energy a certain amount of wealth and so how does someone feel worthy though if they've always been told they're not worth it yeah well so that's the story they tell themselves yeah i'm not worth it because yeah she didn't say yes when i asked her on date right because he broke up with me because i got fired because my parents left me how did that how am i worth it when there's so much evidence or story around a negative well thing let's stop telling the story of your past and let's start telling the story of your future and and people who aren't defined by a vision of the future for the most part are left with memories of the past your brain is a record of the past it's an artifact of everything you've learned and experienced in this moment so most people wake up in the morning and they start thinking about their problems and those problems are memories that are tattooed in the brain that are associated to certain people and things at certain times and places so the moment the person wakes up clean slate they start thinking about the problems they're thinking in the past if you believe your thoughts have something to do with your destiny well it's a possibility that your past is going to be your future every one of those problems has an emotion associated with it so then the moment you start recalling the problem you start feeling unhappy now your body's in the past because thoughts of the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body and how you think and how you feel creates a state of being so people reaffirm their identity based on the past right and it turns out that the redundancy of doing that conditioning only requires requires an image and an emotion and most people are unconsciously conditioning their body into the familiar past into the known so now if you're in the familiar past and in the known you're going to crave the predictable future right right that's the known as well and there's only one place where the unknown exists and that's the eternal present moment that's the sweet spot of the generous present moment so you gotta you gotta labor to get that person beyond the emotions that keep them tacked or anchored to the past and yes it takes an effort to do that but if you keep working with the formula you'll reach that elegant moment where there's a liberation of energy and now your body as the unconscious mind the objective mind is not believing it's living in the same past experience 24 hours a day because you're liberating the body from that emotional state so you ask the person why are you so unhappy why are you so frustrated why are you so resentful the moment you ask that their brain is going to associate that emotion to a past event to a memory into a memory that's because they have nothing to look forward to in their future so if you're not being defined by a vision in the future it just means to me that you're more in love with your past than you are with the future so how do you teach people to believe in a future that they can't see or experience with their senses yet but they've thought about enough times in their mind that their brain is literally changed to look like the event has already occurred the latest research in neuroscience says that's absolutely possible we know that and how do you teach a person to select a new possibility in their future and begin to emotionally embrace that future before it's made manifest to such a degree that their body as their unconscious mind is believing it's living in that future reality in the present moment and they're signaling new genes in new ways ahead of the environment now to their body begins to change to look like the event has already occurred we've proven that that's possible now think about this so the more you think about your desired future the joy the gratitude the uh the feelings you want to have that are more positive the more you think about it as it's as a future thing happening the more your body shifts now exactly so your body is believing it's living in that future reality in the present moment now think about this the stronger the emotion you feel from some condition in your life the more altered you feel inside of you the more you narrow your focus on the cause and the brain freezes an image and takes a snapshot and that memory now is embossed in the brain it's branded in there so then people think neurologically within the circuits of those past experiences and they feel chemically within the boundaries of those emotions and the stronger the betrayal the stronger the trauma the more the body's living in the past right so then so how to reverse that so now if you truly got passionate about a future we've all done this you get a wild idea in your mind and you start holding on to that vision and you're preoccupied with it all of a sudden the thought in your mind becomes the experience and you start feeling the the energy of the future now the stronger the emotion you feel from that vision the more you're going to pay attention to the picture in your mind and now you're remembering your future and vice versa the stronger you pay attention to the feeling of the past pain you're going to create the pain in this moment exactly so then so it requires a coherent brain and we now know that there's a formula for that and we've got beautiful research to show that people can do it they just have to practice and it requires a coherent heart because resentment frustration in patience creates a very incoherent heart and when that heart becomes incoherent you stop trusting yourself there's no energy you stop trusting in your future so then if there's physical evidence in your brain and body physical evidence to look like the event has already occurred it's quite possible you'll be thinking neurologically within the circuits of your future and you'll begin to feel chemically within the boundaries of that emotion of your future and how you think and how you feel is your state of being and now your state of being is living in the future instead of the past now the moment you disconnect from the emotion of your future because traffic or some co-worker or your ex or whatever people come up with now you're back to the energy of your past and now you're going to start looking for it analyzing why hasn't it happened well if you're feeling the emotion of your future why would you look for it because you would feel like it already happened and that is the place where the magic happens so then you can't just do this get up and then return back to your old state of being you got to maintain that modified statement let me finish if i punch you in the face right now how do you make well of course of course i mean we all take blows in our lives yeah and and we all react emotionally but the question is how long are you going to read right so then if you can't mediate and regulate your emotional reactions and those emotions linger for days that's years for some people mood and then months temperament years personality trait so then the person's personality is literally based on the past but they don't know that because they're doing it over and over again it becomes a subconscious program so now if it requires a coherent brain and a coherent heart then we have to train people how to self-regulate so we've done thousands and thousands of measurements we've partnered with the heart math institute to teach people how to create and sustain heart coherence how do we do it well besides going to your workshop what's the simplified version i'm sure it takes more time than well it really doesn't it really doesn't it just requires getting still closing your eyes putting your attention on your heart changing your breath so that you move into the present moment and when you slow your breathing down you slow your brain waves down when you slow your brain waves down now you're accessing your autonomic nervous system so then you train a person how to open their heart and feel an elevated emotion and it takes a little practice and just like a flower that takes time to bloom it takes a little bit of time but if you work and trading the resentment the frustration or the impatience for gratitude appreciation and thankfulness and you keep at it there'll come a moment where that system switches on and now you're feeling grateful for no reason at all that's that's not a bad thing because gratitude the emotional signature of gratitude means something's happening to you something has happened to you you're receiving something or you just received something so your body then when you're feeling gratitude is in the perfect state of receiving so then that means then you'll accept believe and surrender to the thoughts equal to the emotional state of gratitude if you're living in resentment you're living in fear you're living in in patience you could say i'm healthy i'm healthy i'm healthy and wealthy and wealthy and with all you want and that thought's going to stop right at the brain stem and never make its way to the body because the body is not failing here because why because you're feeling resentment and that thought isn't that thought is not consistent with the emotion of resentment resentment has a different set of thoughts right in other words once you start opening your heart it begins to move into coherence it begins to produce a measurable magnetic field up to three meters wide now that's frequency that's energy and all that energy that frequency carries information carries an intent so then when you're feeling gratitude and your heart is open you're broadcasting energy into the field now frequency the frequency you lay the intent of the thought of your health or your wealth that frequency can carry the thought of your wealth it can carry the thought of your health if you're suffering you can't the suffering does not carry that energy does not carry the thought of your wealth it carries a different set of thoughts so then so then we're teaching people how to self-regulate because if you're going to believe in that future that you're imagining with all of your heart it better be open and activated and you better know how to self-regulate and you have to know the moment you disconnect from the energy of your future because of some circumstance in your life and you lose that feeling if you're practicing it on a daily basis with your eyes closed then the next level is to be able to open your eyes and do it right in the moment and be able to self-regulate and change the the frustration from some experience in your life back to the energy of your future now that requires great awareness and great effort but if you have a community of people that are practicing this on a daily basis and they're connected to their future because that's where their mind is they begin to want the future more than the emotions of the past so we've done enough measurements now lewis to know that we can teach people how to do that and we have evidence that people can sustain it for 45 minutes to an hour it's a skill now they know that they know how to do it so now they have brain coherence and heart coherence well once the heart begins to become orderly and coherent it acts as an amplifier and it drives energy to the brain so now the brain is getting more energy once the heart is open and then you're thinking different set of thoughts and those thoughts produce different chemicals for you to feel more of that and here comes nitric oxide from oxytocin and then all of a sudden your heart literally starts to swell it literally begins to open up and there's more energy going there and now you're coming from a different level of mind is it possible that we can build our immune system so strong and our bodies so strong that we would reject viruses your body rejects viruses all the time of course it has memorized certain viruses that you've been exposed to it's memorized certain bacteria that you've been exposed to and it's beaten those viruses not every virus wins in the body the body has an intelligence and it's and it has quite a library of memories in the in the in the white blood cells so your body is fighting viruses and bacteria all the time there's a constant competition going on really so our research shows that four days of opening your heart releases immunoglobulin a your body's primary defense against bacteria and viruses it's better than the flu shot it's the body's natural flu shot and that's the innate intelligence of the body saying i got this i got a lot of energy in fact i got a surplus of energy in fact i'm radiating energy and now too much around the world well now my outer world is not controlling my inner world my inner world now is functioning independent of what's going on in my outer world and now you're manifesting your manifesto ah now you got it now you're in a creative state because people are coming to you yes right exactly now you're a magnet now you have a field right and you have energy to heal and our research shows that that field around your body will actually expand you you radiate more light and information cells are getting new information that that are causing light to be exchanged between cells and information now the body's getting an upgrade so so that immunoglobulin a in four days went up fifty percent so now we now know that if it's going up fifty percent that then the immune system was getting a new signal and nitric oxide then causes another chemical to activate the arteries in your heart to swell and now just like when energy moves into your sexual organs and it swells blood and you have energy there the same intensity it moves into your heart and now now the heart is activated and what do you feel you feel an incredible amount of love yeah and you feel you feel you feel whole and now the more whole you feel our research shows then the less separate you feel from the things you want in your life because you feel like you already have them you only want things when you're in lack but when you feel whole then it feels like it's already happened and that tends to be the exact emotion that causes those synchronicities and serendipities and coincidences to happen in our life and you say to a person what are you doing and they're saying i'm not doing anything i'm just i'm loving life i'm being myself i'm yeah right i'm free i'm free from the past i'm free from my story of the past in fact i'm more connected to the energy of my future than i am to the energy of my past i'm believing in my future more than i'm believing in my past in fact i'm more in love with my future than i am with my past and i i want to keep telling wow i'm more in love with my future than the story of my past but most of us tell the story of our past in a negative sense on how it's held us back um millions of times over our life as opposed to the story of the future of what we want to create or who we want to become yeah listen again you tell that story and the latest research on memory says that memory is creative that in fact 50 of that story you embellish people make up that story let me tell you why they make up that story because they excuse themselves for the fact that they haven't been able to change since that event they'll have to make it sound worse than it really was to make it harder to grow and change so that they can reaffirm their limited sense of their inability to change so then that story becomes more and more of a story it's less of the truth because you got to work yourself up into a state there were lions and tigers and they were right you know there were helicopters snowstorms and everybody was firing bullets the worst thing you could possibly imagine and then you got to feel that emotion right and then you look at this oh yeah it must have been really bad now that's that's your identity now that's your identity the more you hold on to that identity of the past the harder it is to become who you want to be in the future well here's here's to answer the other part of your question when we started talking how do you get that person out of their past yeah well we need a week it's not going to happen it doesn't happen overnight no i want them to come right up against their fear i want them to come right up against their doubt i want them to come up against the point where they're going to give up and quit and they're going to sit there and nobody else is giving up and quitting and they're going to go all in more and they're going to start believing what there's something on the other side of that emotion they're going to believe that there's something past the story of their past because they're stretching themselves out of the known and it takes a tremendous amount of awareness repetition information model building sharing understanding experiencing to finally have a person get to the point where they just let go and when they do the body's liberated from the past and there's a release of energy and we now know that there's a formula to teach people how to do that in fact we're getting so good at it that the first two days day and a half sometimes one day in certain groups of a week-long event is about retiring that pass finishing it you know this is when the story ends this is when they get over it now the next five days the person's ready to create a new future and they're not going to have a problem teaching their body what it feels like to be in love with life to feel like all their needs are met that they're free they are going to fall in love with it and they are going to begin to signal new genes they're going to be interchanged to brain circuitry their brain chemistry their immune system their gene expression the telomeres it's all going to happen they're they're more of that future self and and they're they're headed to a future now here's the deal though you got to be able to sustain that state when you return back to your life that's the name of the game you got to be able to you got to bring the game into your life now and no person no circumstance no condition in your life would cause you to feel the old way again because the moment you started feeling victimized the moment you started feeling angry you just returned to the old self you disconnected from the energy of your future and you're back to the energy of your past don't expect anything to change in your life and if you say to me well it was because of that person i'd say ah you're back to the unconscious program of believing that your outer world is controlling your inner world now the moment the person starts creating effects in their life and they start having those synchronicities and serendipities now all of a sudden they're going to realize what they're doing inside of them is producing an effect outside of them and they're going to say oh my god i'm more of the creator of my life and the less of the victim i am of my life and i wouldn't create getting that health condition because i'm creating everything in my life and now they're not victims and so so so it's a it's not something you get in one bite you know it's something you got of course of course so what are a few things we can do before we come to your uh events what are a few things we can do to support our inner environment on a daily basis ah well listen um the first thing and the most important thing for me is knowledge and information knowledge is really power and and knowledge and information about yourself shouldn't it should empower you it should empower the self right so when we learn about the immune system and all that can do and when you say oh my god you mean not every virus gets to me in fact no and the more you the more you understand that and the more you coax your immune system into love and into like we i just did this little thing on um on our social media where i was talking about the inner army of order and what would be the signal you would want that inner army to get and so we created this meditation and we said what would invincibility feel like signal your body and feel invincible how would you feel if you had an uncompromising will that you had more energy than you could possibly imagine show your body what it feels like because it is that emotion of invincibility that emotion of an uncompromising goal to empower your inner world and you have the intent of that's what it's for wow get ready because you're going to start creating a cadence and a rhythm where your your body's going whoa what what are the what is all these new chemicals what are all these new signals right hey it's time hey hey uh now all of a sudden receptor sites on the t cells go wow we got some new signals coming from the boss here let's open up all those t-cell receptors let's go and in fact we're we're we would love a little fight right now because we got a lot of time on our hands and we got all our receptors turned on oh i mean that that would be a signal for your body we also know that if you could just trade fear and frustration and resentment and suffering for an elevated emotion and truly open your heart again and practice doing that um you'll heal you'll heal you'll heal because i mean all healings happen in the heart and we've seen some really incredible moments uh in the last year where people that were traumatized from childhood that were abused sexually physically emotionally that were suicidal that all kinds of health conditions they came to the edge of that emotion that kept them connected to the past and they were ready to give up in one meditation because they they never had felt an emotion like this that they could remember that it was so intense and they thought about all the times for the last year that they never missed a day of doing a meditation even when they didn't feel like it or they wanted to quit halfway through and they didn't they went all the way they thought about all those times that they went to that point and they went one more time really and their words are always the same and my heart blew wide open and i look back at my entire past and i don't want to change one thing in my past because it brought me to this present moment and i can see my betrayers i could see the people in my life that had a hand in this and i have nothing but compassion for them because now the person is no longer viewing that path from the same level of consciousness they're viewing it from a place of love of wholeness and they see the greater good of all of it and now their their their their conditions their health conditions their endometriosis their uterine tumors i mean whatever it is literally goes disappears and they have an incredible incredible change in their brain chemistry they're in love with life they're off their meds they're not suicidal they're why would they be they're free so it can happen in an instant when the heart is healed and everybody gets the new signal the body's out of the past the body's no longer feeling the emotions of the past and sometimes we got to come right up against that edge that's the yeah that's the great moment probably not sometimes it's probably every time in order to break through is to get up against that edge so are we able to essentially heal trauma how 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 yeah it's a part of us how quick are we able to do that uh from past trauma yeah well 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 and that's called the long-term memory and now that image is branded holographically into the brain so then they remember experience remember experience is better because we can remember how they feel and and 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 and genes make proteins and so the the person if it's 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 response an image and an emotion a thought and a feeling and you're conditioning the body into the past well you're conditioning the brain and body into the past and it doesn't matter if the actual event happened to you or not because if you have the image what i'm hearing you say it's still going to connect to the body so like what's happening right now is people are consuming probably more than 50 or 100 pieces of media talking about trauma in the world right now right that is that causing more physical damage on our bodies without actually having it physically hurt us well let me finish that thought and then we can answer that question mind-blowing 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 and the more you pay attention to the picture the more you're conditioning the body over time to the future instead of the past so now you keep knocking on that genetic door emotionally then that emotion ultimately signals a new gene that up regulates that gene to produce better proteins and the person then all of a sudden starts healing and we have research to show that people can do that in four days signal genes to reduce cancer cells and wow just to signal stem cells to to suppress um uh to go to active tissues and repair them and regenerate them and suppress uh inflammation that we have research to show that you could change the number of brain cells you have just by by doing this properly and so now all of a sudden the person's working in four days you can start to reverse some of the damage you've done in your body uh 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 i'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 and you'll start to get you'll start to shift your genes gene expression absolutely gene exploits 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 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 and 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 and that's that's enzymes that's tissue that structure that's function that's hormones it's immune 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 and so and so now to answer your other questions then it makes sense then that if you have been an experienced uh 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 and you're you don't know this but every time you think about that future that possible worst case scenario scenario and you feel the emotion you're conditioning your body to become the mind subconsciously of anxiety so now all you need now is some cue in your outer environment that says it's unsafe that if there's damage there that you're 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 guess what system becomes compromised by the immune system your immune system why because you have two protection systems you gotta get a system that protects you from dangers in your outer world that's that's the gas pedal that's the sympathetic nervous system that's a fight-or-flight nervous system danger threat out there use all the energy because you gotta you gotta survive and when you survive you gotta take care of your body so right so so now 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 thread in your outer world there's no energy in your inner world for growth and repair there'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 that the 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 break we're the clutch we need the we need to get into relaxation we need to get back into balance again and and when we do then we'll metabolize then we'll we'll assimilate we'll reproduce we'll we'll excrete properly so so now you got a 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 in a bacteria but if there's no energy hey listen it takes energy to raise the body's temperature where 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 but so you stay in emergency for an extended period of time and now you're exposed to some antigen or some external substance some foreign agent and there's no 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 in 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 or more 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 so so now if you begin to strengthen your inner environment now this is where our work comes in because we have research to show that when you place your attention right here in your heart this center right here this is this is the beginning of our divinity this is our center of oneness our wholeness this is where we begin to feel love gratitude compassion kindness care freedom joy it's all these elevated emotions that are heartfelt emotions that our research shows that when you begin to teach people how to open this center and you teach them a formula on how to practice it that if they did that for four days that they would begin to strengthen their immune system by 50 and now let me tell you why because in the center is your heart but what most people don't know there's another gland in there called the thymus gland thyme leaf it's named after the thought the time leaf and the thymus gland has two functions it has an endocrinological function it makes growth hormone that's our youth center and it makes uh strong immune chemicals and it has an immunological function so when you're living by stress and your heart is racing and you're stepping on the gas and the brake at the same time because you can't run you can't fight you can't hide and you've got the gas in the clutch cone energy is going to leave the harness going to the adrenal center and you're going to cause contraction in the arteries in your heart and this center will shut down from blood flow and so there's no energy in the heart so you teach a person then how to begin to open the center and to start feeling elevated emotions through their heart and you teach them how to switch or convert from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system well all of a sudden now this thymus gland which normally shrinks with age starting at puberty the fountain of youth now all of a sudden begins to get new blood flow and there's new hormones that are signaled like oxytocin and vasopressin and all these different chemicals called um nitric oxide and endothelial derived relaxing factor and the arteries in the heart begin to swell with energy and blood flow and this center switches on and now it says man this feels good and this is a time for us to really get back into balance and really let's strengthen our inner world now and now all of a sudden this thymus gland begins to make thymusin which is an important agent that begins to make t cells and t cells have little receptors on them called t cell receptors and when those t cell receptors are robust and strong those cells make proteins and they make what's called antibodies or immune immunoglobulins and these little y-shaped proteins block the receptors coming from the virus that are trying to attack the white blood cells they have a shield and now they're they're immune to the to the virus and its attack with its receptor and it can literally begin to inject it with these immunoglobulins primary immunoglobulin a and that begins to cause the virus to not survive wow then that white blood cell will cut past another white blood cell and pass on the memory to it so it already knows what's coming so now all of a sudden you're making these immunoglobulins and now your inner world now can combat anything that's that's a foreign agent and even cancer cells this is a question that i think everyone wants to know the answer to especially during this time of of feeling like there's a lack feeling like there's a loss feeling like there's uncertainty around money around opportunities opportunities are dwindling for some people that they're thinking uh you know all these uncertain times how do we change from having a scarcity mindset into an abundance mindset especially if the evidence is not showing that we have abundance right now for some people sure well look this is a tough question to answer but i'll tell you that for me um i'm going to see this uh as a great opportunity brilliantly disguise this as an impossible situation that i'm not going to meet this challenge from the same level of consciousness i we have to go to a greater level of awareness a greater level of consciousness and create and invent and figure out new ways to connect and figure out new ways to influence the earth's field and create new ways to change outcomes in reality and it's not about one person doing it it's the new consciousness that must emerge that isn't going to live in fear because what we fear we give power to we give our attention that we don't live as victims to our circumstances that we create different circumstances that if you face this present challenge as an opportunity for a greater consciousness to emerge a collective consciousness that sees behind the illusion of separation that could connect in a field of information and create one mind create one heart and emerge like those birds that all fly in one pattern fish in one school you you get the appearance that it's a bigger organism because there's no leader in that flock there's no leader in that school everybody's leading it's everybody is demonstrating it and and that's we have to step up beyond it and information is causing us to see that maybe maybe governments aren't going to take care of us maybe churches are not going to take care of us or synagogues or maybe you know medicine is not going to take care of us and maybe all of those things that we've relied on uh to change our inner state uh is not going to really uh we're not going to really take care of that certain point we got to take care of us right and appreciate it doctor joe preach it now we got to we got to face this uh and there's no other alternative yeah there there isn't another alternative except waiting uh instead of creating so so maybe it's a time in history that you and i negotiated to be here in some other space and time and that we're here for an awakening let's just let's see what happens if we play that out and you can't be afraid and you can't be angry you can't be hustling you can't be resentful and all this is consciousness that creates viruses that creates disease it's going to be a different frequency we're going to see it from a different level of mind i want everyone listening for the next seven days to try something and if you could give one to three different things that we could think differently or eliminate when a thought comes to us or we react in a certain way if there's something you think that we eliminated one two or three things and we did this every day for seven days we would start to see incredible feelings of differently would feel healthier more lively more loved what would be those few things okay well most people number one they get up in the morning and the first thing they do is they think about the problems in their life and those problems are memories from the past so the moment they think about the problems they're thinking in the past right every one of those problems has an emotion attached to them so they start feeling unhappy or unworthy or whatever and how you think and how you feel is your state of being so most people's entire state of being is in the past when they start today so if they're in the familiar past they're going to live in a predictable future right so they get up and they check their cell phone they check their text their whatsapp their facebook they post something on facebook they tweet they twitter they check the news then they go to the bathroom get a cup of coffee take a shower get dressed check more emails drive to work the same way do the same thing so turn a program they've actually lost their free will to the program wow so if you start your day and you start your day with this simple question what is the greatest ideal of myself that i can be today you ask yourself that question now listen your body's going to go like well you got to get a cup of coffee and you got to be here i'm tired yeah and you got to go ah body uh you're not the mind i'm the mind right now you're going to sit here i'm going to feed you uh you're going to get your coffee you're going to do all those things but right now this is my time you're going to obey me right so now the body's no longer the mind you're the mind and so when it wants to get up and you become aware of it and return back to the present moment every time you do that's a victory and you're changing some aspect of yourself so then ask yourself i do this all the time write down four thoughts that you're going to stay conscious of the whole day i can't it's too hard you'd be surprised the moment you become conscious of what those thoughts are how unconscious you've been to them all day for weeks on end write down what you speak how you speak four things you want to change how you act how do you how do you act do you complain do you blame you make excuses you feel sorry for yourself that's a victim consciousness what emotions do you live by is it possible that you're so used to living by guilt you don't even know it's guilt it just feels like you you allow your energy to drop become conscious of those states of mind and body and review them and say this is the old self then say what thoughts do i want to fire and wire in my brain and start firing and wiring and start feeling it what behaviors will i demonstrate today what choices will i make one day one lifetime and just like you did rehearse them rehearse the whole entire thing begin to install the neurological hardware in your brain and if you keep installing it the hardware is gonna become a software program you're gonna start thinking and acting that way and then here's a tough part can you teach your body emotionally what your future is going to feel like before it's made manifest and don't get up until you feel that way now practice that for a few days and then see if you can stay in that state and watch all of a sudden all those weird doors start opening for you synchronicities synchronicities whatever they are number two take up time at the end of your day the end of your day before you lay down and give thanks for your life and feel gratitude and really teach your body what it feels like the emotional signature of gratitude when gratitude means you're getting something if i give you something that's of value you would say thank you because you would feel it right so when you're receiving you're giving thanks so gratitude is the ultimate state of receiving so then people only accept believe and surrender to the thoughts equal to their emotional state so if you're in a state of gratitude every thought is going to make it right down into your body if you're saying i'm healthy i'm healthy i'm healthy i'm wealthy and wealthy and wealthy and your body's programmed the negativity it's saying no you're not no you're not knowing i thought it's going to stop right here so as you elevate your state there are about 1200 different chemical reactions that go on in the body that begin to restore and repair the body in a state of gratitude and so we've done the research to prove that 10 minutes and just feel it with all of your heart that's it wow third thing and and very important take time whenever it is sit down close your eyes and begin to just open your awareness to the space around you and just sense it and pay attention to it and become more aware of it the act of opening your awareness begins to reduce the stress hormones and creates more coherent brainwave states i'm doing it right now and it's just a practice yeah it's just a practice and the more you do it the better you get at it if you want to learn more about how to master your mind check out this next video right here we figured out this formula of sustainable motivation in in this book but the second question is go back to why must i use this because if you don't have the why you won't do the what and finally when will i use this
