Can We Heal Ourselves? Stories of Recovery and Healing Others
Lewis Howes asks whether thoughts and meditation alone can heal. Dr. Joe Dispenza describes witnessing remarkable recoveries, including a woman with Parkinson's, and how people who heal themselves want to heal others.
- •Dispenza says his belief in what is possible has changed dramatically in the last two years
- •A woman with Parkinson's was sent his book by accident, did the meditations and the retreat, and healed
- •Healed people such as Green Berets and Navy SEALs want to bring healing to their tribe
- •The model of understanding has to change once people can change their own health
Remote Coherence Healing and Synchronized Hearts
Dispenza explains how remote coherence healers target people they have never met and cites research with UC San Diego. He describes heart synchronization in groups and a preliminary study on autistic children.
- •Remote healers work daily, hold a target in their heart and change their energy
- •A triple blind placebo study found effects that work as well as or better than drugs
- •A published paper covers the mathematical synchronization of hearts in groups
- •Parents reported big changes in autistic boys after six weeks
- •New experiences open possibilities and make self-discovery a never-ending process
Gratitude, Desperation and the Formula for Creating
Dispenza says the most desperate people respond least because they wait for healing before feeling gratitude. He then introduces the formula of creating from the field with a clear intention and elevated emotion.
- •Gratitude is a starting point for healing, not a result of it
- •People already working on changing themselves receive the energy better
- •Abundance usually means accumulating things, but there is a formula for creating
- •Intention plus elevated emotion produces a coherent heart that signals the brain it is safe to create
The Creative Center and Feeling Abundance Before It Arrives
Dispenza describes the frontal lobe as the creative center and says abundance is about who you become. He argues you must feel gratitude before the experience and that affirmations fail when the body feels lack.
- •Coherent heart and coherent alpha brain waves form a state of creation
- •Reading about abundant people shows qualities to embody
- •Waiting to feel grateful until wealth arrives is Newtonian thinking
- •Affirmations stop at the brainstem if the body feels miserable
- •Practice feeling it with eyes open so you stop looking for it
Synchronicities and Escaping the Victim Mindset
A speaker explains that synchronicities are feedback that your inner state is producing outer effects. They contrast creators with victims whose reality controls how they feel, and note that an hour of meditation cannot offset fifteen hours in lack.
- •Keep tuning in to the potential and synchronicities follow as feedback
- •Repeating the feeling builds momentum, such as the promotion, email or meeting
- •The victim lets the environment dictate thoughts and feelings
- •Relating to money through lack only reinforces the lack
- •Defaulting to old energy for the rest of the day undoes the meditation
Changing Your Personality to Change Your Reality
The speaker says personality creates personal reality, so change requires changing personality, which is 95% unconscious programs. The first step is noticing the unconscious thoughts and habits that come up.
- •Personality is how you think, act and feel and it creates your personal reality
- •95% of who we are runs on autopilot
- •Thoughts like I'm not worthy will come up and need not be believed
- •Nerve cells that no longer fire together no longer wire together
- •The old story has to end for a new personality
How Conditioning Puts the Body in Lack
The speaker explains that thoughts and feelings condition the body to become the mind of an emotion, so the body lives in the past. The key shift is making it about change rather than abundance or healing.
- •Waking up and thinking of problems fires and wires the past
- •The body cannot tell real experiences from emotions created by thought alone
- •With the lens of lack you walk right past opportunities
- •People who heal focus on what they need to change, not on the healing
- •The more I change, the more I'll be abundant
Sitting with Lack and Resisting the Body's Cravings
The speaker describes meditation as sitting with your thoughts and the feeling of lack without distractions. Breaking the habit brings cravings as the body pulls the mind back to the familiar, so a different choice feels uncomfortable.
- •Meditation means becoming familiar with yourself without phones or social media
- •Sit with lack and be curious about what is on the other side
- •The body craves the old feeling like an addiction
- •The body is the unconscious mind and pulls toward the default
- •A different choice will feel uncomfortable and unfamiliar

Rehearsing the Mind of an Abundant Person
Using a man who went from having almost nothing to great wealth and giving it away, the speaker says the lesson was who he became. They suggest writing down how an abundant person thinks and mentally rehearsing their behavior.
- •The man healed his heart and kept giving his wealth away
- •Overcoming is the becoming process
- •Write down how an abundant person would think and install those thoughts
- •Mentally rehearse how that person would walk, breathe and greet people
- •The brain does not know the difference between imagination and experience when you are present
Beliefs, Attitudes and Perceptions as Extended States of Being
The speaker explains how thoughts and feelings become attitudes, beliefs and perceptions, which are extended states of being that edit our view of reality. They say these can be changed by a decision whose emotional intensity exceeds that of the original conditioning.
- •A belief is a thought you keep thinking, bounded by emotion
- •Attitudes strung together form beliefs and beliefs form perceptions
- •People see their memory of someone rather than the person
- •Decision must carry more emotional amplitude than the old trauma
- •Feeling the future's emotion is like remembering your future
Becoming Whole and Creating from the Field
The speaker says the early stage of change brings discomfort, and that people seeking abundance really want wholeness and freedom. They say that when people overcome their old selves for seven days, their genes signal ahead of the environment.
- •Stepping into the unknown is uncomfortable, and people prefer familiar lack
- •People seeking abundance or healing really want wholeness
- •Some very wealthy people say they are in misery because they cannot enjoy life
- •Healed people say the disease lives in the old person
- •In seven days, research shows people's bodies look like they are in a prosperous, healthy environment, due to epigenetics
Dispenza's Own Recovery and the Search for Answers
Dispenza explains that feeling the emotion before the experience signals genes ahead of the environment. He recounts his own recovery, selling his practice, studying the science and interviewing people with spontaneous remissions.
- •Genes make proteins, which determine the body's structure and function
- •After six weeks of practice something clicked and his recovery accelerated
- •He was back on his feet in 10 and a half weeks
- •He sold his practice and home to study quantum physics, neuroscience and epigenetics
- •He interviewed hundreds of people in 17 countries who got better
The Four Common Elements of Spontaneous Healing: Intelligence and Stress
Lewis asks for the four common things, and Dispenza gives the first two: believing in an inner intelligence and recognizing mismanaged emotions and stress hormones. He explains how the stress response becomes an addiction and how thoughts can make you sick or well.
- •People believed in an intelligence within them and reconnected with it
- •Stress is being knocked out of homeostasis, fine short term but harmful chronically
- •Thought alone can turn on the stress response and people become addicted to it
- •Reacting to the environment the same way signals the same genes
- •Change feels uncomfortable, but the unknown is a good place to create from
Third and Fourth Elements: Rehearsal, Brain Change and the Quantum Field
Dispenza covers the third element, becoming conscious and reinventing yourself through mental rehearsal. He cites piano and muscle-strength studies. The fourth element is losing track of time and space, which he links to the quantum field and an accelerated cascade of change.
- •Observing your habits separates you from the programs
- •Frontal lobe questions switch on the creative center
- •Mental practice grew the same brain circuits as physical piano practice
- •Mental curls produced a 13.5 increase in muscle strength
- •Losing track of time connects to the quantum field and speeds up healing
