Why This Work Is Taking Off: From Information to Application
Lewis Howes asks why Dr. Joe Dispenza's work has surged in the last year or so. Dispenza says it is now a time to know how, not just to know, and that a scientific team was assembled to measure brain change before and after.
- •Dispenza says the era has moved from information to application
- •Applying knowledge means changing something about yourself, which is uncomfortable
- •Old paradigms in medicine, religion, education and politics are breaking down
- •His team has done thousands of brain scans to find a formula for brain coherence
- •Analyzing your life from a disturbing emotion makes the brain worse, he says
- 6:50 – 13:02
Feeling Worthy: Telling the Story of Your Future, Not Your Past
Howes asks how someone can feel worthy when they have been told they aren't. Dispenza answers that emotions are residue of the past, and that you can condition your body emotionally toward a future before it arrives.
- •Stop telling the story of your past and start telling the story of your future
- •Thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings the language of the body
- •Strong emotion freezes a memory in the brain, tying people to the past
- •The body can come to believe it is living in the future reality
- •Disconnecting from the emotion of your future pulls you back to the energy of your past
- 13:02 – 18:05
Self-Regulation and Heart Coherence: How to Start
Howes asks how to sustain the future state when life happens. Dispenza explains that lingering emotions become moods and personality traits, and describes a simple practice of stillness, heart focus and breathing, plus how gratitude puts the body in a state of receiving.
- •Emotions that linger become a mood, then a temperament, then a personality trait
- •The practice is to get still, close your eyes, focus on the heart and slow the breath
- •Trading resentment and frustration for gratitude is the core of the practice
- •Dispenza says the heart produces a magnetic field up to three meters wide
- •The goal is to self-regulate eyes open, in the moment, and sustain coherence for 45 minutes to an hour
- 18:05 – 21:11
Research Evidence: Immune Function, Genes and Brain Scans
Dispenza describes studies on 120 people practicing gratitude and appreciation, with IgA levels up 50% in four days and gene changes measured. He also cites telomere lengthening from meditation and unusual brain scans, and links emotion to gene signaling through epigenetics.
- •Immunoglobulin A rose 50% in four days in the 120-person experiment
- •Measured gene regulations included genes tied to cancer suppression, stem cell repair and neurogenesis
- •Sixty days of meditation lengthened telomeres, he says
- •Epigenetics: the environment signals the gene, and the end product of experience is emotion
- •Brain scans during a transcendental moment show energy hundreds of times outside normal
- 21:11 – 26:55
Community Testimonies and Science as the Language of Mysticism
Dispenza describes people at week-long events recovering from serious conditions and says that evidence is now the loudest voice. He explains that science demystifies the mystical and creates community rather than dividing people.
- •Attendees with conditions such as Parkinson's, stage four cancer and brain injuries report significant changes
- •People seeing others heal think that if someone else can do it, they can too
- •He compares this to the four-minute mile
- •Science is described as the contemporary language of mysticism
- •Dispenza says he is as surprised as anyone by what he witnesses
- 26:55 – 30:42
The Nurse Who Recovered Her Vision After a Stroke
Dispenza tells the story of a nurse who was legally blind after a stroke on the optic nerve and came to an event hoping only to learn to live with it. After a meditation she reported her sight returning, and a scan showed no black spot. He and Howes then discuss what triggers such a transformation.
- •She was told after the stroke to accommodate and live with it
- •She came to the event a year later, having practiced the meditations for months
- •During a meditation she felt heat and crackling and chose to surrender rather than contract
- •Post-event scan showed no black spot where there had been one before
- •Dispenza says there is no linear correlation to the moment of transformation, only prior work overcoming oneself
- 30:42 – 35:10
Christian Science Upbringing and the Cycle of Outer Dependence
Howes shares that he grew up in Christian Science and experienced quick healings as a child. Dispenza says teaching children the body can heal reduces reliance on outside things, and discusses how outer stimulation loses its effect and why people must go inward.
- •Howes grew up believing he was a spiritual being who could not be physically harmed
- •Dispenza calls it a good belief to program into children
- •People rely on shopping, gaming and relationships to change their inner state
- •Receptor sites recalibrate, so more stimulation is needed each time
- •Howes notes a new car's novelty fades from a month to a week to a day
- 35:10 – 39:46
Synchronicity, Thoughts vs. Feelings, and Creating from the Field
Dispenza says that peeling away limiting beliefs leads to synchronicities, and that brain and heart coherence acts like a clear signal. Asked whether thoughts or emotions are more powerful, he says both: thoughts send a signal and feelings draw the event back, letting you create from the field instead of through matter.
- •Coherence in brain and heart creates a clear signal and synchronicities appear as feedback
- •Thoughts produce an electrical charge and feelings a magnetic charge in the quantum field
- •You can enter the thought-feeling cycle from either side
- •Creating from the field means trusting and surrendering rather than controlling outcomes
- •He says no one is too old, sick, or traumatized, and that first-time meditators often have profound experiences
- 39:46 – 42:08
Collective Coherence and Healing Others
Dispenza says communities provide synchronized energy and that his team plans to measure social coherence among 1,000 people. He explains his view that the field creates matter, so healing others means changing the pattern in the field.
- •Events draw diverse groups, including 63 cultures at some events
- •Community is described as the side effect of making the work inclusive
- •Researchers plan to measure coherence in a room of 1,000 people
- •Dispenza says it's the field that creates matter, so the tumor is a pattern to change
- •Healing circles are described as the next application of the formula
- 42:08 – 47:19
Consciousness, Observing Your Thoughts, and Going from Somebody to Nobody
Howes asks about mindset versus consciousness. Dispenza defines consciousness as awareness, says 95% of who we are by 35 is unconscious programs, and describes meditation as observing thoughts and taking attention off body, people, things, places and time.
- •95% of who we are by age 35 is a set of automatic programs
- •Observing a thought means you are no longer the program but the awareness
- •Meditation means becoming conscious of your unconscious self
- •Dispenza says he has fallen thousands of times and the difficult meditations are the ones you remember
- •Going from somebody to nobody, somewhere to nowhere and some time to no time is the door to the quantum field
- 47:19 – 51:49
Remote Coherence Healings and Plans for Children's Hospitals
Dispenza describes research with Bond University on how quickly attendees reach the 'nobody, nowhere' state, and gives examples of healing circles. These include a brother in a coma and a child at a Seattle hospital, and he describes plans to take data to children's hospitals at 50%.
- •Slowing brainwaves into alpha and theta quiets the known self
- •A woman's brother in a coma regained consciousness an hour after a coherence healing, he says
- •A pediatric nurse reported a child coming back online after she put her hands in the field
- •The team wants a 50% success rate before approaching children's hospitals
- •He says they would not charge or touch the children
- 51:49 – 58:43
Family and Relationships for Mission-Driven People
Howes asks about Dispenza's kids and then about relationships for mission-driven people. Dispenza says he works on himself rather than in a relationship, and that transcendental experiences make people less dependent on others for happiness.
- •His children grew up with the work and are in their 20s
- •He says he will never work in a relationship, only on himself
- •Transcendental love is described as electric rather than chemical, an arousal of bliss
- •Inner experience changes how the outer world is perceived
- •Community relationships tend to last because people are more self-aware
- 58:43 – 1:10:22
Growth Challenges and Humanity's Next Decade
Dispenza says his biggest challenge is handling growth without losing efficacy, relying on a team where everyone leads. On humanity's challenge, he says collapsing paradigms should be met without emotional reaction, by demonstrating peace and creating something better.
- •Finding venues and logistics at scale is the main challenge, with 7,000-8,000 emails a month
- •He compares his team to a flock of birds where everyone leads
- •Paradigm breakdown is chaos, which he calls unpredictable order
- •People should not react as victims but self-regulate with brain and heart coherence
- •Scattered attention scatters energy, and wealthy people from the work want to give back
- 1:10:22 – 1:14:26
Resources, Events, and Final Words
Dispenza shares his website, week-long events with online preparation, and a planned app. Asked for his final 60 seconds, he says that embodying the truth shows there are no limits and that believing in possibility means believing in ourselves.
- •His website is drjoedispenza.com
- •Week-long events happen about once a month and require online preparatory coursework
- •An app with all the meditations is in development
- •His final message is that we have the capacity and there are no limits to what we can do
- •Howes thanks him for two decades of showing up
