Survival Mode, Panic, and the Spontaneous Love Attack
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
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 brain wave states.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
I'm doing it right now. Anxiety is doing this, living in the survival. When you're living in survival, I'll tell you this, when the survival gene is activated, out of the infinite potentials in the quantum field, you'll always choose the worst case scenario. Why? Because if you're in survival and you're preparing for the worst, there's always better chances of surviving if anything less happens. So people are always selecting the worst thing in their mind, and they begin to emotionally embrace that future before it happens.
- LHLewis Howes
Oh my gosh.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Thought and emotion, you start conditioning. So you're conditioning the body to become the mind of fear. You keep doing that enough times, once the body becomes the mind, it's a subconscious program. Person has a panic attack. Try as you may to control it with your conscious mind, you can't. You programmed it subconsciously. Now you worry about the next panic attack, and as you start worrying about the next panic attack, it's the vigilance that creates the next one.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Now, here's what's happening in our work. People who are self-regulating and creating these elevated states, we have, we have heart scans of them sustaining heart coherence for a whole hour during a meditation. Then at the end of the day, they're still wearing the, the monitor. It's 8:00 at night, they're not even in a meditation, and for a whole entire hour, they're in heart coherence. We say to the woman, "Uh, what's going on here?" She said, "I, I have no idea. I was just getting ready for bed, and all of a sudden my heart just swelled up. It was so intense I had to lay on my back and surrender to love-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... instead of surrendering to fear." She had a spontaneous love attack instead of a spontaneous panic attack. Now, I would call that the natural state of being. So then if you're living by those elevated states and you know how to feel that emotion of your future before it happens, you're less likely to wait for it to happen because you'll feel like it already happened. You'll less likely try to control it. You'll know that the moment you lose the feeling, you just disconnect it and you're gonna make your way back. When you get good at it, no person, no thing, no experience can take it away from you.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Now you're empowered. And if you understand the laws of how creation happens, then you're less likely to compete and rush to get what you want. You're gonna know that it's gonna come to you, and now that's the new model of how do we create.
- LHLewis Howes
Knowing it's gonna come to us at the right time. What if we want it faster?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Well, you just do it again.
- LHLewis Howes
Hm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
But remember, if you're trying to make it happen faster, you're back to the old self.
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
The new self would never do that. The new self would con- constantly stay there. And so then how does it appear? It appears in a way that you can't expect. Because if you can predict it, it's the known. It's gonna come in a way that you haven't thought of, an unknown, and it's, and it's gotta rock your world. It's gotta catch you off guard.
- LHLewis Howes
Hm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
It's gotta leave you n- no doubt that what you've been doing inside of you, that produces some effect outside of you. And when you correlate what you've been doing inside of you with the effect that produ- you produced outside of you, you're gonna pay attention to what you did and do it again. And the energy of the joy that you feel when it happens-
- LHLewis Howes
Hm
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... you're gonna use that energy to create again.
- 3:16 – 4:10
Creator Versus Victim of Your Environment
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Now people say to me, "Well, I'm this way because of that person and that thing." I would say to them, "So you mean then that person or that experience out there is controlling your thoughts and feelings?"
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
That means you're a victim to your environment. But when you start changing your thoughts and feelings and it starts to produce an effect in your environment, you're gonna change the belief that you're a victim, consciously or subconsciously, of your life to becoming more of a creator of your life.
- LHLewis Howes
Hm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
And now all of a sudden, when you become more a creator of your life, you can't blame anybody. You can't say, "Well, that person or that thing." You'd have to say, "I gotta be greater than that environmental condition."
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Who in history can I study that had the same challenges? Now what, what was, what was, what did they do? Let me just work that into my rehearsal so that I can improve, right? Just like you've done with sports.
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
It's the same process.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah. When do you experience the most love?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Ooh.
- LHLewis Howes
Personally.
- 4:10 – 7:06
The Field as Intelligent Love and Mystical Experiences
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah, that's a great question. So, um, so it turns out that the signature of the quantum field is greater and greater degrees of oneness and wholeness, right? So think about it. Um, when we live in stress, we live in separation, right? 'Cause our senses fool us into believing you're there and I'm here, and everybody is separate from us, and everything is separate from us. That's 3D reality, right?
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
But as you start opening the center, all of a sudden when you become nobody, no one, no thing, nowhere, and no time, right, that's the moment that your consciousness lines up with the consciousness of the field. That's when you are totally present. Now, here's the deal. If I can get people to believe that just because they can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist, if they can just connect and pay attention to that field and stay present with it and become more aware of it, moment after moment after moment, every interaction with that invisible field, every experience lays down new circuits in their brain for them to perceive more of it, right?
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
So then as they keep their attention on it, they start moving closer and closer to it so they experience less separation and more oneness and wholeness.
- LHLewis Howes
Hm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
So then when that happens, there's a cascade of all kinds of physical and chemical and energetic things that begin to happen. So for me, the, the best way that I can describe that field is it's intelligent love. It's greater levels of order and unity and oneness, and when you strike it and you hit it, it is the most incredibly electric feeling you will ever have.
- LHLewis Howes
Hm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
It is the most familiar unfamiliar feeling you will ever have.
- LHLewis Howes
Ha.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
You will swear that you are ancient in that moment, and you will connect, and it won't be just like love for your puppy. You will feel it in every single cell of your body, and I mean like a, a vibration, a, a, a coherence where your body becomes electric, and the only way we can describe that is love. You, you, you, you taste that one time-
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah. You want it all the time
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... and it- Well, here's what I say I always say the first time it happens, the, the first time it happened to me, and every time since, when I come back to my senses, I always say the same thing, "Joe Dispenza, you got this all wrong." Because some veneer, some conditioning is lifted and you start realizing that the way you think life is isn't that way. So now, when I've had those moments, Lewis, I have said, "There cannot be any more love than this," until the next experience.
- LHLewis Howes
Till the next time. [laughs]
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
I mean, how much is there, right? I mean-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... how, how, you just, you get super humbled. You get-
- LHLewis Howes
When was the last time?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Ooh, about, uh, well, about, uh, five days ago. Yeah. Yeah, I-
- LHLewis Howes
What was the moment?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Ooh, I just had a very profound-
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... mystical experience. I was, uh ... I'll t- I'll tell you the short story. I-
- LHLewis Howes
And how often does it happen, also?
- 7:06 – 13:55
Evidence and Healings From the Work
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
I don't know. I mean, I, I, I live for them.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Uh, uh-
- LHLewis Howes
So you try to do it every month if you can, or?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
I, no, I, I, I-
- LHLewis Howes
Weekly, daily?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... I just do the meditations and, uh, and then when they happen, I'm, if I'm just in the right place and I don't have a plane to catch or an email to answer, and I have a little laxity and I can kinda surrender into the moment, I just, um, I had this incredible, uh, I don't know how to describe this, but, uh, they, there was a geometric pattern, like a mandala. I don't know what it was. And it moved right through my entire body, and it was like, uh, working with me, with my physical body.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
And if I could surrender to it, it was just incredible bliss. I mean incredible, incredible bliss. I mean, I don't know how to describe it. And-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... and, and when that occurs, uh, when it happened to me, I had this, my heart was just lit up. Like, it was, it was a, it was an exper- it wasn't a physical experience, you know? It was, it was from within. And here's the weird thing: every time it happens, my heart s- feels alive. Like, it lasts for days. Like, the emotion-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... from the experience lasts for days.
- LHLewis Howes
Continues on, residual, yeah.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
And people are like, "Uh, what's up with you?" Like, "What, what?" And you're just kinda go-
- LHLewis Howes
Oh, you're so joyful, probably
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... you got this big smile on your face. I just am so happy to be alive.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
And so I think that-
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... independent of ... You know, listen, I now know, I mean, we've measured genetic changes, hormonal changes, neurotransmitter changes. We've measured immune system responses by trading fear-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... for gratitude. We've measured gene expressions. We now know that people can, uh, signal the gene to, to, for c- to reduce cancer and tumors, signal the gene to grow new neurons. We've measured this. Signal the gene for, uh, for stem cells to go to damaged tissues and repair them, oxidative stress gene signal. We, we've, we've seen that in our, in our students.
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Now, here's the deal: after all of those studies in the last six years, you can't tell me you're too old to do this work. You can't tell me that. We got people in their 80s doing miraculous things. You can't tell me you're too sick to do this work. We got people that were the end of their life, stage four, and we m- turn that battleship around.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
You can't tell me that you had too turbulent of a past to do this. We have people that were really rough pasts that are now free. You can't tell me, uh, you're not, you've never meditated bef- we have people who have never meditated before have the most profound mystical experience.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Y- you can't tell me you're too overweight, too underweight, too out of shape, too in shape. You can't tell me that anywhere, because all colors, all races, everybody can do it. That's the cool part about it. And when you get a community of people together, uh, and you move them from one state of mind to another, there's this moment-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- 13:55 – 15:35
Surrender, Intention, and Staying Open
- LHLewis Howes
Wow. And do you feel like you've answered those questions to, for yourself? Who am I? Why am I here? What am I doing?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah, I, I think so. I, I think, though, that-
- LHLewis Howes
Is there, or is there questions you still haven't answered?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
No. I mean, it's not that there's questions that I still haven't answered. It's just that I'm, I'm always changing my answers because I'm not ... I mean, even my definition of surrender just from six months ago is not even close to the same definition that I have today.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm. What's the definition now?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Well, surrender, man, there's just greater degrees of letting go and trusting.
- LHLewis Howes
Everything.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
I just like, like if ... Like, when my world is going sideways and my staff is just freaking out, I'm always like, "Oh, I'm just gonna let go."
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
"I'm just, I'm not gonna control anything." They're like, "What? The ship is sinking." I'm like, "Yeah, but I gotta go-
- LHLewis Howes
Surrender
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... against the chemicals-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... and I gotta trust anyway."
- LHLewis Howes
Because if you're gonna stress in that moment and have anxiety, you're gonna create more of that.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Oh, you're, you're going to make things worse. So I just let go all the way, all the way. And, and it ... And you gotta lay down the very thing you used your whole life to get what you want for something greater to occur, and that's not, that's not one bite. That's not one leap.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
I- it's a practice. And so, uh, uh, is letting go a little bit more and trusting. If you, if you over-surrender, that's l- that's lazy and lethargic.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs] Right, right.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
If you over-intend, that's trying and forcing.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
So there's this razor's edge between intention and surrender, right?
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
You gotta be able to, uh, be able to ta-
- LHLewis Howes
You gotta take action-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Right. Yeah, right
- LHLewis Howes
... and surrender to the-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
But ... Right, right. But you don't wanna get in the way, right?
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah. [laughs]
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
So ... And that's just, it's a lot of trial and error, you know?
- 15:35 – 22:19
His Mission: Challenge Activities and Non-Local Healing
- LHLewis Howes
What do you feel like your mission is right now then?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Wow. So, um, for me right now, I mean, my passion is, are, uh, these week-long events, uh, a year.
- LHLewis Howes
How many do you do a year?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
We do about, uh, 10, uh, about ... Oh, just a little less than once a month, you know, a- around the world, and it's usually about 1,000 people. Uh, and now what we're doing is we're doing this whole 'nother level up. We're doing two, uh, really cool things. One is a challenge activity, and what I wanna do is, uh, we now know that our students can create a lot of brain and heart coherence, but they can do it with their eyes closed in a room with 1,000 people and soft music playing.
- LHLewis Howes
Ah.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
They feel safe. But now let's get them in a situation where that would normally elicit fear or some emotion.
- LHLewis Howes
Anxiety. Get them in the real world.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Get them in the real world-
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... and get them up somewhere where they're feeling a little uncomfortable-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... or they're being challenged through endurance, and let's see them create brain and heart coherence-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... right on that spot. Like, this is, this is the moment.
- LHLewis Howes
This is fate.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
This is, this is your life. Like, you gotta be able to do this right now. You can't say, "I can't. It's too hard. I can't do this. I'll start tomorrow. I don't want to." That's not the moment. That's what you do in your life. Let's put you there, and instead of just white-knuckling and pushing through, let's get really conscious.
- LHLewis Howes
Surrender.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Let's get really present.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah. Yeah.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Let's create that heart and brain coherence, and let's work it. And then make the move when you're in that state. You know, rhythm through that resistance. Create that kind of coherence. And, and, and, and I was just at the HeartMath Institute w- who we partner with, and we're ... Uh, Doc Childre, the guy that created HeartMath, he said, "It's all about rhythm through resistance. It's about that ability to create that kind of internal order when there's chaos going on around you." So what's the relevance of that? A person who's going through a challenge activity that's a huge obstacle course, and they have the belief that they have a spinal cord injury, or they have MS or Parkinson's disease, and they never try anything in their life, and we got them up there, and there's people rooting for them, and they're in that state, and they're in that heart coherence, and they go through that whole course, and they've overcome, uh ... They're gonna walk back in their life, and whatever challenges that they have, they're gonna be like-
- LHLewis Howes
This is nothing. Yeah
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... "This is nothing."
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
"I've just reset the scale." So ... And the other thing is that people move past where they normally can go. There's a liberation of energy, and that's available energy that just needs to be organized. So then they start organizing that energy, then they're doing magic.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
The other thing we're working on is, um, is, uh, non-local healing, w- what we call The Cage. We have a person lay down with a health condition. We get eight people around them. We teach them about energetic coherence. We talk to them about the science, that it's not matter-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... that emits a field. It's the field that creates matter. Change the field, you change matter. We give them the science and the understanding, and then we let them go, and we have seen people w- all kinds of healings take place-
- LHLewis Howes
Wow
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... in 10 minutes. Like, how do you explain that? How do you explain a person laying there who isn't even being touched, and their entire body is moving in all these different directions by, with energy? Is, it's incredible. So-
- 22:19 – 27:31
Seven-Day Challenge: Morning Intention, Gratitude, Open Awareness
- LHLewis Howes
I like to give people a challenge. I'm curious, I want everyone listening, for the next seven days, to try something.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
And if you could give one to three different things that we could think differently or eliminate-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm
- LHLewis Howes
... when a thought comes to us, or we react in a certain way. If there's something you think that if we eliminated, one, two, or three things, and we did this every day for seven days-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm
- LHLewis Howes
... we would start to see-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm
- LHLewis Howes
... incredible-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm
- LHLewis Howes
... feelings of differently. We'd feel healthier, more lively, more loved.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Okay.
- LHLewis Howes
What would be those few things?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Okay, well, most people, number one, they get up in the morning, and the, the first thing they do is they think about the problems in their life. And those problems are memories from the past.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
So the moment they think about their 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.
- LHLewis Howes
Hm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
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 the day. So if they're in the familiar past, they're gonna live in a predictable future, right?
- LHLewis Howes
Hm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
So they get up and they check their cellphone, they check their texts, 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 they're in a program. They've actually lost their free will to the program.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
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?"
- LHLewis Howes
Hm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
You ask yourself that question. Now, listen, your body's gonna go like, "Well, we gotta get a cup of coffee, and you gotta go-"
- LHLewis Howes
I'm tired. I'm, yeah
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... I'm tired, yeah. And you gotta go, "Ah, uh-uh, uh-uh, body, uh, you're not the mind. I'm the mind right now. You're gonna sit here. I'm gonna feed you."
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
"Uh, you're gonna get your coffee. You're gonna do all those things. But right now, this is my time. You're gonna 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 we turn back to the present moment, every time you do, that's a victory.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
And you're changing some aspect of yourself. So then [inhales] ask yourself. I do this all the time. Write down four thoughts that you're gonna 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-
- 27:31 – 31:45
Retiring the Story of the Past
- LHLewis Howes
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 wanna create or who we wanna become.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah. Listen, a- 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.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
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 and-
- LHLewis Howes
To make it harder to grow and change
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... so that they can reaffirm their limited sense of-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... their inability to change. So then that story becomes more and more of a story and it's less of the truth because you gotta work yourself up into a state there were lions and tigers, and there was-
- LHLewis Howes
Right
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... you know, there were helicopters.
- LHLewis Howes
Snowstorms and [laughs]
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah, and everybody was firing bullets. It was worse than you could possibly imagine. And then you gotta feel that emotion, right? And then you look-
- LHLewis Howes
Yes
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... and oh, yeah, it must have been really bad. Now, that's, that's your identity now. That's your identity. So then-
- LHLewis Howes
And you ho- the more you hold onto that identity of the past, the harder it is to become who you wanna be in the future.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Well, here's, here's to answer the other part of your question when we started talking.
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
How do you get that person out of their past?
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah. Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Well, you gotta... Y- we need a week. It's not gonna happen-
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... in one-
- LHLewis Howes
You mean it doesn't happen overnight?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
No. I want them to come right up against their fear.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
I want them to come right up against their doubt. I want them to come up against the point where they're gonna give up and quit, and they're gonna sit there and nobody else is giving up and quitting, and they're gonna go all in more, and they're gonna start believing what there's something on the other side of that emotion. They're gonna 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-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... information, model building, sharing, understanding, experiencing to finally have a person get to the point where they just let go.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
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 past, finishing it. You know, th- this is when the story ends. This is when they get over it. Now, the next five days, [laughs] the person's ready to create a new future, and they're not gonna have a problem-

Knowledge, Healing the Heart, and Becoming Aware
- LHLewis Howes
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?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Ah. Well, listen, um, the first thing and the, and the most important thing for me is knowledge and information.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Knowledge is really power and, and knowledge and information about yourself should in- it should empower you. It should empower the self, right? So when we learn about the immune system and all it can do, and we 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, into-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... like we ... Well, I just did this little thing on, um, on our social media where I was talking about the inner army of order.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
And what would be the signal-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... 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. H- 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 will to empower your inner world." And you have the intent of that's what it's for, wow, get ready, because you're gonna 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?"
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
"Hey. 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."
- LHLewis Howes
Right.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
"Let's open up all those T-cell receptors. Let, let's go. We ... And in fact, we're, we're ... We, we would love a little fight right now 'cause we got a lot of time on our hands and we got all our receptors turned on."
- LHLewis Howes
[laughs]
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
So, I mean, that, that would be a signal for your body. And we also know that if you could just trade fear and frustration and resentment and suffering, uh, for an elevated emotion, and truly open your heart again, and practice doing that, um, you'll heal. Uh-
- LHLewis Howes
You'll heal
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... you'll heal. Because, I mean, all healings happen in the heart.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
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 had 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 m- they, they never had felt an emotion like this that they could remember.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
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 when they wanted to quit halfway through and they didn't, and they went all the way. They thought about all those times that they went to that point, and they went one more time.
- LHLewis Howes
Really?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Their ... And their words are always the same. "And my heart blew wide open, and I looked back at my entire past and I don't wanna change one thing in my past because it brought me to this present moment. And I can see my betrayers, I could, uh, see the people in my life, uh, that had a hand in this, and I have nothing but compassion for them." Because now the person is no longer viewing that past from the same level of consciousness. They're viewing it from a place of love, of wholeness.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
And they see the greater good of all of it. And now their, their, [laughs] 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. Uh, they're not suicidal. They're ... Why, 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 gotta come right up against that edge. That's the-
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... that's the great moment. So-
- LHLewis Howes
It's probably not sometimes, it's probably every time-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah
- 40:29 – 42:06
Help for Someone in Survival Mode and Embodying Knowledge
- LHLewis Howes
If someone is so disconnected to their future, their greater future self, if they're so, uh, uh, negative thoughts, suicidal thoughts, often, uh, hurting themselves potentially, often, uh, just don't have many close friends, don't feel like they identify with themselves in the world, don't feel like anyone understands them, no one accepts them, no one gets them. Like, this all sounds great in theory, but when you're in a place of survival mode in your thoughts constantly, how can someone like that, without having to go through the workshop, that doesn't have the opportunity to go right now, what can they start to do to just give some, a little bit of relief and peace in their heart?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah, it's simple. Knowledge, experience, wisdom. Philosophy, initiate that philosophy.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Master it.
- LHLewis Howes
Yep.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mind, body, soul. Thinking, doing, being. Learning it with your head, applying it with your hands, knowing it by heart. And this is the journey of knowledge, because when you learn that information and you really study it, you are going to begin to see the world differently-
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... because your brain is changing. Then when you start saying, "How can I use this? How can I apply it? How can I personalize it? How could I do something, initiate s- this information? What do I gotta do? How do I get my behaviors to match my intentions?" Now, this is the act of trial and error. It's so important. You don't make it the first time, you don't give up. You get up and you try to walk again, and you start learning how to do this. And so as you begin to do it over and over again, you start having new experiences.
- LHLewis Howes
Yes.
- 42:06 – 54:59
Mental Rehearsal Changes Brain and Body
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Well, new experiences enrich the circuits in your brain philosophically, and now the brain makes a chemical, and now you're feeling more unlimited. You're feeling more whole. You're teaching your body chemically to understand what your mind intellectually understood, stood. And now you are literally, literally starting to embody that knowledge.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
It's becoming, it- it's signaling new genes. It's new information. But, but you can't do it one day and expect your wealth to come. You gotta do it over and over again.
- LHLewis Howes
Yes.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
So the repetition of re- practicing over and over again neurochemically conditions the mind and body to begin to work as one. You've done it so many times, the body now knows how, how to do it subconsciously-
- LHLewis Howes
Subconsciously
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... rather than conscious. But-
- LHLewis Howes
Just like it, just like it knew how to subconsciously lean into trauma and victim mode-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Right
- LHLewis Howes
... for decades.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Now the body's getting new information, it's going to adapt. And, and now you're going to literally become that knowledge. You're gonna become it. That's what you're gonna become. And so now that's when you no longer have to try. It's who you are. It's-
- LHLewis Howes
Yes.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah. You've memorized an internal order that's greater than anything in your outer world that's gonna tell you something else. That's key right there.
- LHLewis Howes
And you become immunity to negative thoughts or negative viruses, where if something tries to, someone tries to say something to you, your body just rejects it automatically, just as if your physical body would reject, uh, some virus coming in. Is that correct?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
That's absolutely the way it works.
- LHLewis Howes
If I said, "Dr. Joe, you can't do it. You're stupid. You're ugly. You're not smart enough. You're not this," you wouldn't even re- they wouldn't even... It would just bounce right off you. You wouldn't even receive it- 'Cause your field is so powerful, it's pushing all that away.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
No, because it's not the truth.
- LHLewis Howes
There you go.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
It's not the-
- LHLewis Howes
You just laugh. It'd just be like-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
It's not the-
- LHLewis Howes
... "Okay, that's just not real."
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
But if I kept telling you, you know, "You need this product, you need this drug to feel better, to look better, to be better. Let's appeal to your lack, and if you buy this, it'll make that feeling go away." And you try it for a while, then the feeling doesn't go away anymore, you gotta try something else.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
And now watch the news and listen to all that information. It's telling you, "You're limited. You're..." You know, "You're limited. It's something out there that's gonna get you." There's nothing wrong with that, this, but if you're constantly saying, "It's traffic, it's the news, it's politics, it's my ex, uh, that's making me feel and think this way," then you're subconsciously, not consciously, affected by your environment, and you'll be more-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... affected by your environment.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
It's not a conscious process. But the more you say, "I'm going to," in spite of the fear that we talked about or the anxiety or the frustration or the aggression or the hostility or whatever it is, the pain, the suffering. Instead of saying that, "I can't change that," you know what? I'm gonna think, I'm gonna see if I can. Where can I find that information? Where... And, and all of a sudden you find people that are doing it, and it makes sense to you. And you're like, "Well, okay, I'm feeling really anxious. Uh, instead of taking, uh, something that's going to chemically change me, let's see if I could chemically change me-
- LHLewis Howes
Hmm
- 54:59 – 1:05:04
Lewis's Rehearsal Practice and Who This Work Is For
- LHLewis Howes
This is fascinating because, you know, growing up in this religion that I grew up, it was a constant reminder, a daily practice to think in a certain way.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
To think that you can never be physically harmed.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
You know, you're infinite love, that you're infinite light, you're infinite soul, spirit, life, truth, and love, right?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
It was, like, constantly taught to me that I'm, that I'm never able to get physically harmed.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
And that if you are, that means your thought is off, and you just have to recorrect your thought, and you'll have a healing.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
Right? It's a little extreme for some, because, and if you're not, you know, well-practiced in it, and if you don't know how to really manage the thoughts and train, then you can hurt yourself.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah, exactly.
- LHLewis Howes
You can really hurt your body, and that's, you know, it happened.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah.
- LHLewis Howes
It happened a few times. Um, but I use this- You know, philosophy, strategy, technique, uh, idea in sports, and I would rehearse constantly, like you talked about.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
I was constantly rehearsing the games, what I wanted to create for the season-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm
- LHLewis Howes
... for my, my body, for my life.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
And it's, it just seemed like it would always happen. You know, I would rehearse constantly over and over and get lost in my thoughts. You called it the quantum field. Is that what you call it?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
So I was in the quantum field to be on the physical field. I was playing in the quantum field just like I'd be playing on the physical field.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Exactly.
- LHLewis Howes
And I remember I would watch, um, game film of world record holders in track and field and football and watch them every single night and mentally rehearse the same movements they would have before I would fall asleep, and then I would practice the next day. But I was constantly rehearsing in my mind how I wanted to show up. I was rehearsing this moment.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
You know, in my life 10 years ago, I was rehearsing what I'd be doing this year in my life.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Mm-hmm.
- LHLewis Howes
Do you do this on a daily practice for yourself, and if so, how does that rehearsal look like?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
I do. I do. Um, so, so two things I wanted to say about that. I mean, first of all, this is really not for everybody.
- 1:05:04 – 1:13:34
The Formula: Beyond Body, Environment, and Time
- LHLewis Howes
How, how do we change our energy, and how do we sustain it for extended period of time? How long does that time need to be until we really start to see results?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Sometimes immediate. Okay, so, so our research, and we've done, uh, in the last six years, uh, because we were seeing so many incredible, incredible things going on in our workshops. I mean, people stepping out of wheelchairs and all kinds of crazy things. Um-
- LHLewis Howes
You're like a church.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
W- well, kind of like, well-
- LHLewis Howes
A church. Like a mega church, yeah.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
[laughs] But hopefully not that-
- LHLewis Howes
Based in science.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah, but, but, but-
- LHLewis Howes
But isn't it amazing that some of these churches, when g- people get to believe, whether they have science backing it or not-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
They just-
- LHLewis Howes
... it's the belief in the mind-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
They step out into the unknown
- LHLewis Howes
... that you can step out of your body-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah, yeah
- LHLewis Howes
... and, and heal yourself, right?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
In- instantaneouslY. Instantaneously.
- LHLewis Howes
And we do see that a lot, and some people are like, "Ah, that's-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Yeah
- LHLewis Howes
... how can that be possible?"
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Well, how can it be possible? Well, we've, we've as- I have-
- LHLewis Howes
You've done the research now to back it.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
I've assembled a team of scientists.
- LHLewis Howes
Yeah.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
We've done 8,500 brain scans. I can tell you, I can tell you when a person's about ready to change. I can tell you why people-
- LHLewis Howes
Really?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... don't change. I can tell you what it takes to change.
- LHLewis Howes
So what's it take to change?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Well, you change ... Most people keep their attention, always their awareness on their body.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm-hmm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
They keep their attention on everything in their environment.
- 1:13:34 – 1:16:08
Heart Coherence and Practicing Elevated States
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Right, right. So you're drawing from your vital life force, that invisible field around your body, and you're turning it into chemistry. You actually are going to shrink your own field. The hormones of stress cause us to be materialists, right? We, we, we, when we're under stress, we're, we're using our senses to determine reality, so now you feel more like matter and less like energy, more separate from possibility. So then t- teach a person then how to regulate that heart center, and we do this, uh, we've done 6,000 heart scans. Why? Because if I can teach you-
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
How to get in that heart state, and I can teach you how to activate that center, and I can teach you how to regulate an elevated emotion
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
The heart starts to create a very coherent signature. And when the heart starts beating like a drum, like dropping a pebble in water, it begins to produce-
- LHLewis Howes
Mm
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... a measurable magnetic field up to three meters wide. Now you're more energy than matter, more wave than particle.
- LHLewis Howes
Wow.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Now, that field that's being created is measurable, and that's an energy, and energy is frequency, and all frequency carries information. So what is the information when it makes it here? It c-
- LHLewis Howes
That you're sharing into the world, yeah
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
... it could carry the thought of your healing. Why? Because it's consistent with the energy. Guilt isn't gonna carry the thought of your healing. It's a different frequency. And all of a sudden now, the person is elevating their emotional state and they're allowing their thought to be carried on that frequency. They're broadcasting a whole new energetic signature. But thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body, and how you think and how you feel creates your state of being.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
So then the question is, if you keep practicing creating that state of being, it should become familiar to you. Yes or no?
- LHLewis Howes
Yes.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
The word meditation literally means to become familiar with.
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
So then if you're practicing moving into these elevated states and your heart is coherent and we're measuring and I can say, "Lewis, you got it. Now do it for 30 minutes."
- LHLewis Howes
Mm.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
"Now do it for 60 minutes," and you practice creating that coherence, you'll know when you're there and when you're not. Yes or no?
- LHLewis Howes
Sure.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
And then you would be able to say, like a skill, like anything else, "Give me a minute. I'm gonna step out," and you're gonna go back into heart coherence and bring up that state. Now-
- LHLewis Howes
How do we get there in the heart?
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Oh, well, then we practice the formula. Again, rest your attention.
- LHLewis Howes
Sure, sure.
- JDDr. Joe Dispenza
Start calling up elevated emotions, and when you start seeing that that starts happening, then you sustain it and you keep practicing. I do three quick things. One, I take three minutes of those 10 minutes after I've changed my body, and I focus on three different events in my life that I'm grateful for. Biochemistry. But there's a value to it, 'cause the two emotions that mess up your business, your life, your relationships are-
