75 to 90% of every person that walks

into a healthc care facility in the

Western World walks in because of

emotional or psychological stress we

also know that people become addicted to

the stress hormones to those emotions

and then they need the bad job they need

the bad relationship they need the

traffic they need the news just so that

they can stay in that emotional state

but now you're headed for disease

because no organism can live in

emergency mode for that extended period

of time but I literally can give people

the tools to be able to break those

emotional addictions and our data shows

it works better than any drug Dr Joe

dispenza is a world leading voice on the

power of the Mind whose groundbreaking

research has unlocked a practical

formula to empower millions of people to

rewire their minds and create

longlasting change if I'm looking to

change my life because it's in this

horrible cycle of the same old same old

and I feel about myself what do I need

to know I think that the first thing is

you can't tell me that your past was so

brutal that you can't change cuz we have

seen people with some really really

horrible pasts abuses difficult

childhoods some very serious traumas we

have seen them change that belief and

become completely different people but

also the research shows that 50% of the

story We Tell in our past isn't even the

truth that means that people are

reliving a miserable life they never

even had just to excuse themselves from

changing or they wait for something to

go wrong in their life and that's when

they go okay I'm ready to change why

wait for that you know we can learn and

change in a saate of pain and suffering

can learn and change in a state of joy

and inspiration and so I want to provide

people the information how to make new

Connections in their brain and be able

to think act and feel differently in

your same environment so let's break it

down this has always blown my mind a

little bit 53% of you that listen to the

show regularly haven't yet subscribed to

you want me to speak to and we'll

continue to do what we do thank you so

[Music]

much Dr Joe how do you define when

someone asks you what it is you do I

teach people uh the neuroscience and the

biology of what it really means to

change and I think when we change our

life changes so my interest is to

demystify that process so that people

have within their reach the tools to

make measurable changes in their lives

and what is that you're drawing upon

what experiences what studies what

research you drawing upon to give the

world these Solutions I was interested

really in the transcendental experience

the transcendental moment um so when

when I started teaching this work um I

taught the work because people were

asking how do you do it like how do you

change your life and what does it mean

to change and

so I want to provide people the

information uh where they can actually

learn the information make new

Connections in their brain that's what

learning is repeat what they've learned

to the person next to them you know

build a model of understanding so you

can remember it remind yourself what

you've learned because it's so much

easier forget this information then to

remember it so create a new level of

mind um take away all the doubt the

conjecture the Superstition the

dogma and so that the person can

actually understand what they're doing

and why they're doing so the how gets

easier and when the how gets easier we

assign meaning to the act because we

understand what we're doing and when we

do that we want a greater outcome so I

want to give people the information and

I com I looked at all the latest

research that pointed the finger at

human potential and human

possibility I had my own personal

experience with a personal injury we

talked about it last time I studied

spontaneous remissions I wanted to see

what people had in common with each

other and I couldn't find the

explanation pretty much in contemporary

uh uh texts I had to start looking at

neuroplasticity and epigenetics and then

I wanted to see well now that I know

what people did and I understood what

they did to have their own personal

healings and

transformation um could I reproduce the

effects that no knowing what they did

finding out what the commonalities were

uh putting it in the language of Science

and then teaching it to people they

could be sick or they could be well it

wouldn't matter but understand what they

did in order for them to change and have

their life change and after a couple

years of teaching it we started to see

kind of the same type of effects uh in

those people that were applying and

doing something with it so so this is a

time in history where it's not enough to

know this is a time in history to know

how so when we started seeing people

stepping out of wheelchairs and having

dramatic changes in their health I knew

that in some moment uh during the

retreat or during their

meditation

that something happened to them they had

an experience inwardly that must have

changed them biologically in other words

if you come into a an event and uh you

have three days to be together and at

the end of three days you're you're no

longer in your wheelchair and you no

longer have symptoms of MS that you know

the the human being in me said wow

that's amazing the scientists and me

said how like how did that

happen so that's when we started doing

our own independent research and that's

when I started calling in N scientists

and um you know biologists and and

Quantum physicists and and and really

scientists to measuring it heart rate

variability uh to look to see what was

going on uh in people that were coming

to our events so I could answer the

question by saying now that the majority

of the

research uh that I look at is our own

personal research and we have the

largest

database uh in the world now on

meditation and the Mind Body Connection

and what we do is we really work on

demystifying the process of change and

transformation and if we're able to

demystify it I think all the all of the

measurements of the transformation that

we're seeing is more information for me

to teach transformation better and I

think that's how we close the gap

between knowledge and experience so we

have a huge research team we work with

UC San Diego we work with other

universities like Harvard Stanford and

the data is so compelling uh and the

data is so amazing uh that um uh I think

we're making scientific history right

now hundreds of millions of people have

been drawn to you for their own reasons

my partner is one of them my girlfriend

she has attended your events she's she's

one of your biggest fans in the world

and she's experienced her own

transformation as a product of attending

your events but also last conversation

if I look at the co top comments it's

just a string of testimonials from

people who have been engaged with your

work for decades who have had personal

transformation in their life in their

family what is the essence of why people

come to you like if you think about the

hundreds of millions of people that have

interacted with your work what do they

have in common what is it they're

looking for people come for all kinds of

reasons the Baseline is that they

understand on some level that that

meditation can change their body and

change their life some people uh

understand that there's a that they

could have mystical experiences without

using any exogenous substances so we

have people to come that come that want

to heal their body that want to have a

new job or a new career or become

abundant people that want to have loving

relationships some people want to have

mystical experiences whatever that is

right but the person is coming with the

intention of actually creating exactly

what they want so they that's the that's

what they think they're there for but in

time um what they're really coming for

is to change uh and um even the people

who heal from all kinds of health

conditions what I learned in the last

couple years is they're not doing their

meditations to heal they're doing their

meditations to change and when they

change they heal and so what they begin

to Crave is the next unknown experience

you know that that experience that

exists really Beyond three-dimensional

reality but but I would say that the

majority of people come for a particular

reason and after a period of time they

just want to get more whole and I don't

think there's an end to that is there a

bug in our minds or in our society or

within culture that stands in the way of

our ability to change and I think as I

asked that question question what I'm

really trying to get at is there's a

culture that's emerged almost like a bit

of a trauma culture where we we kind of

explain who we are based on what's

happened to us and it seems to be

justified I this thing happened when I

was a kid and that's why I am this way

is that approach to viewing our trauma

productive or unproductive and is it a

problem the stronger the emotion we feel

from some event in our life a trauma a

betrayal a loss a shock

um a

diagnosis the the event produces an

emotional response and the high quotient

of the emotional response changes our

internal State and the moment we feel

altered inside of us the brain takes a

snapshot freezes a frame or a series of

frames and takes snapshots and that's

called a long-term

memory so then from a biological

perspective every time the person rememb

the problem they're producing the exact

same chemistry in their brain and body

as if the event was happening cortisol

the adrenaline whatever the emotion is

when they feel that emotion we could say

then that the body is reliving the event

emotionally 50 to 100 times in a day so

the trauma is no longer in the brain at

that point now the trauma is also in the

body because thoughts are the language

of the brain brain and feelings are the

language of the body and it's that

thought and that feeling it's that image

and that emotion it's that stimulus and

response that's conditioning the body

subconsciously to become the mind of

that emotion and now that person

emotionally is a brand branded into the

past and you can say to them why are you

this way why are you so angry why are

you so bitter why are you so mistrusting

why are you so afraid and they'll say to

you I am this way

because of these events or that event

that happened to me in my life 20 or 30

years ago now this is kind of an

interesting thing because in a sense

their

identity is completely connected to

their past and they as long as they feel

that

emotion uh they'll always remember the

past so

now the body is so objective when it

feels that emotion it does not know the

difference between the real life

experience that's creating the emotion

and the emotion that person is

fabricating by thought alone so now the

body's believing it's living in the past

event 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365

days a year but what the person is

really saying is after that event I

haven't been able to

change that's what they're saying and

so that becomes the person's identity

and there's nothing wrong with this but

you'll never hear me say uh in any of

the work that we do uh go back and

process the past

um uh we we've discovered that when a

person

analyzes uh their problems uh within the

emotions of the past they make their

brain worse they actually drive it

further out of balance they're they're

over arousing it we discovered is that

if the person can get beyond the

emotion truly get beyond the emotion

uh they'll free themselves from the past

and what we discovered is that if you

teach a person to give up the

fear the bitterness the resentment the

frustration the impatience the Judgment

you say stop feeling that emotion I know

there's a reason why I'm sure

everybody's got a story right so but

there's nothing that's going to change

that story until you change right and so

we discovered that if you trade those

emotions

for an elevated emotion if you start

feeling gratitude and appreciation and

love and kindness and care and you

practice feeling that emotion we give

you some tools to to use to change your

breathing to put your attention a a

different place and to work with your

body what we discovered is when the

person can truly begin to open their

heart and we have brain scans on this

when the heart begins to open and it

begins to become coherent in other words

when you're feel feeling uh frustration

or impatience or judgment your heart is

beating very incoherently when you're

feeling love and gratitude kindness and

Care there's a rhythm there's a there's

a Cadence that the heart has that's it's

very coherent when the heart gets

coherent we measure

this it immediately informs the brain

that the trauma is over the heart tells

the brain the past is over the event is

over and it resets the

Baseline uh in the brain and so now the

person when they look back at their past

they're no longer looking at it from the

same level of Consciousness in fact many

of them will say oh my God I needed to

go through all of that to get to this

point right here they'll tell you they

they'll they'll say I wouldn't want to

change one thing in my past because it

got me to the present moment okay

so we work with Navy Seals special ops

prisoners we work with people uh that

have had some very serious traumas

really serious abuses uh um uh just

difficult childhoods uh these people are

you know night terrors uh

suicidal um can't you know leave their

homes uh socially

uh having trouble panic attacks it's

kind of funny because the moment that

person actually breaks through from the

emotion and the words they typically

describe was they say was like my heart

exploded it's like my heart blew wide

open the moment that happens they're

bringing their body right out of the

past right into the present moment and

lo and behold many times there goes the

anxiety there goes the depression there

goes the cyclic mood patterns somehow

the body uh gets recalibrated back into

order back into homeostasis so

the point I'm making is is that the

memory without the emotional charge is

called wisdom and now you're you're

ready for the next adventure in your

life the soul can't go to the next

adventure if it's holding on to the past

so we don't really ever address the

story because the story is only firing

and wiring the same circuits in the

brain reaffirming the identity to the

Past just to feel the same emotion and

the research shows that 50% of the story

We Tell in our past is is even the truth

that means that people are reliving a

miserable life they never even had just

to excuse themselves from changing right

I'm not taking shots at anybody but what

I am saying is you can't tell me that

your past was so brutal that you can't

change CU we have seen people with some

really really horrible pasts um that

literally literally are are completely

different people that have completely

different lives I really want to focus

in on what it is we're getting wrong

when we're trying to treat trauma in

modern society because I see all of

these Retreats that are like inner child

healing and they kind of take you back

to when you were a young child the thing

that happened to you whatever happened

in your life and they kind of walk you

back through it um there's also various

types of therapy that make you kind of

recount the events and then they ask you

questions about it you're saying that

you don't feel like those approaches are

optimal because they just keep you in

that circuit of living reliving the

emotion no I I wouldn't say they're not

optimal I mean I'm sure there's value

for people all I'm saying is that um

when does the story end and I'm not

certain that

Insight changes Behavior you could have

a realization or even from an exogenous

drug you can have a realization or an

Insight but if you still can't function

in your life and you're still you know

you're haven't connected with your wife

or you know you're still dealing with

trauma it just hasn't served you at all

like so the Insight that your your

father was overbearing or your mother

was a perfectionist or you were beaten

as a kid uh and that's why you're this

way it doesn't change the behavior let

me give you an example then from my life

because this will make it really

specific so when I was young something

I've talked about on the show but it's

just an example that allows me to Think

Through um your approach my mom and dad

argued a lot and I would watch my mother

in particular spend a lot of time

shouting at my dad my dad didn't really

respond he was very passive and it made

me feel a certain way as a young child

which meant that when I grew up I just

wanted to avoid women all cost in terms

of romantic commitment because I was

almost reliving the emotion of

imprisonment that I observed in my

father so I felt like when a girl was

interested in me throughout all of my

teen years throughout my early 20s even

if I was interested in her the minute we

came to Commitment I'd get that feeling

like I was signing up for prison and I

would reject now I got an insight into

this by writing in my diary actually

from doing this podcast because I used

to do it on my own just solo episodes

and I could see a pattern I could see

that someone asks me to commit I get

this weird feeling I reject them and

then I asked myself where did that weird

feeling come from in your past and I

remembered oh that's how I felt watching

my father and my mom when she would just

um scream at him for long periods of

time I had the Insight which was

somewhat useful but you're right in that

it didn't necessarily stop stop the

feeling but but what you did really well

is is in order for us to

change we have to become so conscious

of those unconscious beliefs and what's

a belief thought you just keep thinking

over and over again or how you've been

programmed right as a belief we have to

become so aware of our automatic habits

and behaviors and we have to pay

attention to our emotional states if

we're going to change and staying

conscious of our unconscious self is is

is really the the work that it takes to

really overcome so you can become

another person that's 95% of a person by

the the middle of their life their you

know hardwired attitudes beliefs and

perceptions automatic habits and

behaviors and unconscious emotional

responses 95% of us as programmed so as

a child your brain waves are um very

slow the door between the conscious mind

and the subconscious mind is wide open

your brain waves are in Alpha and Theta

and so you're very suggestible to to the

information and so your exposure to that

cause you to learn that that you know

your observation causes you to get

programmed to that the way life is by by

Mir neurons looking at behaviors that

are being programmed in you so so but

that's not who you are right so the fact

that you became conscious like oh my God

I do this oh my God I see where I got it

from okay that doesn't mean that that

I'm going to excuse myself and say I

can't be in relationships you could some

people do that might be a different

belief but they do that but you said I

really want to have a meaningful

relationship I really want to overcome

this that is part of me that I want to

change right so so you recognize that

that's called metacognition right the

the fact that you can objectify your

subjective self and observe yourself

that's Consciousness right and when

you're conscious then that's when you're

not

unconscious and being unconscious is

being in the program so how many times

do we have to forget until we stop

forgetting and start remembering that's

the moment of change so you said okay

that's

uncomfortable that must mean something

and you actually went on a a personal

exploration yeah do something with the

Insight with the provocation with the

interest of actually wanting to change

yourself in some way so that you create

a a greater experience of life that

there is love in life and that you can

have a committed relationship and it

could be different from your parents and

now you know what you're not going to be

right so I think all of that is valuable

I think every experience that we have in

our life that programs us to be a

certain way sooner or later if we're if

we're interested in arriving at the

goals and dreams that we want there's we

have to leave that behind sooner or

later a part of us Must Die uh as sooner

or later we have to leave that so I

think you I think that's that's

Evolution that first is the first step

Insight like is this a a sequential

multi-step process to change I think

that I think Insight is an AS ECT of um

awareness so is awareness States yeah so

Consciousness is awareness and awareness

is paying attention and

noticing so I think that I think the

first step is to become conscious um

that we're a certain way and sometimes

it lands as an Insight or a download or

a life experience that just kind of goes

you go wo like you know so I I I behaved

this way or I did this thing so so I

think I think when you you don't have

that you don't have a conscience and you

can just and you can just keep staying

in that world and but but sooner or

later uh you have to become aware how do

I increase my awareness by paying

attention is there a practice or a

system or a process yeah yeah but

what what we know is that that the the

more you practice being present the

better you get at it okay and so how do

you do that if you sit in a meditation

right and so there's a mode in the brain

called default mode and it's just always

busy it's consuming enormous amounts of

energy in the brain and it's always

trying to predict the future based on

what it knows in the past it's a kind of

an anticipation machine it's always

trying to um fill in a known in reality

so we feel safe

so a default mode system in the brain

when you close your eyes on a meditation

is going going to immediately go into

overdrive it's going to say oh my back

hurts a little bit I'm kind of thirsty

how long's this going to go I really

don't want to do this I don't like the

music you know uh is it's might be too

long oh I'm starting to get a little

frustrated I want to lay down you know

all this stuff comes up and then people

have the belief and they say I can't

meditate that's that's their conclusion

from The Experience that's their I'm not

a good meditator that's their

affirmation that's their belief right

from that experience but if you say to a

person listen that's normal

but every time you catch

yourself going unconscious catch

yourself going unconscious and become

conscious that's a

victory and as tedious as it may be in

the

beginning the more you catch yourself

going unconscious and becoming conscious

the more conscious you become in your

life and and all of a sudden you begin

to pay attention to things that you

weren't paying attention to before so in

the work that we do we say that being in

the present moment truly in the present

moment is being comfortable in the

unknown right the present moment is the

unknown because there is the familiar

past that we feel emotionally and we

have the predictable future which are

both the

knowns being the present moment is being

the unknown and that goes against

thousands of years of programming

because our biology is programmed that

if we are truly the unknown we should be

in survival because if you're in

survival and you're in the fight ORF

flight system the unknown is a threat

it's a danger so always try to predict

the future based on the past and you'll

have better chances of survival predict

the worst case scenario be ready for

that anything less that happens you have

better chance of

surviving so then to rest in the unknown

goes against a lot of our biology and we

discovered that when a person keeps

doing it over and over again the body

gets agitated it gets frustrated it gets

impatient instead of the person saying I

quit give them something to do and they

can lower the volume to the emotion and

settle the animal down like training an

animal setting settling the body back

down into the present moment we we teach

people how to do that and that's the

victory giving them something to do yeah

they have it they have something to do

when that comes up okay which is I I'll

get to it in a second and if they catch

their mind going from a person to

another person to another object to

their cell phone to their computer to a

place they need to be and you know a

time and know their they catch

themselves with their brain firing in

modulated

compartments if they keep catching

themselves doing that if they keep doing

that and they they catch the circuit

when it's firing and they settle it down

in time sooner later they're going to

stop firing those circuits in the brain

and their brain waves begin to change

change from an agitated aroused State

into a more coherent and slower brain

wave state so when they do this enough

times the brain begins to synchronize

the brain begins to fire in Greater

levels of wholeness or greater levels of

order so when that occurs then the

nervous system gets very regulated gets

very orderly the autonomic nervous

system moves into a state of

regulation disregulation of the

autonomic nervous system is called

stress right so so to answer your

question when people do this really well

in just a few days they'll get really

good at it the side effect of that is

they get very relaxed in their heart

it's relaxed in the heart and it's awake

in the brain and the more relaxed you

get in your heart we've discovered

really relaxing into your heart the more

the heart informs the brain to get

creative and so now the person has this

kind of synchronization that's taking

place between their part in their brain

as well and they can rest in the present

moment

so the way you do that is you define

what it really means to change and to

change is to be greater than the

conditions in your environment to be

able to think act and feel differently

in your same environment that's what

change is to change is to be greater

than your body to be greater than its Dy

lives in the meditation I'm speaking

specifically greater than its emotional

responses its memories its emotional

reactions greater than its habits The

Habit is when you've done something so

many times the body knows how to do it

better than the conscious mind there

that's so so if you're sitting in a

meditation your body wants to get up and

wants to get going and got people to see

things to do that's kind of like

automatic right and people get up and

they say I can't meditate but if you

tell them that when you notice that you

bring your body back into the present

moment you settle it down and tell it

it's no longer the mind that you're the

mind you're training the animal sooner

or later the body literally responds to

a new mind and there's literally a

liberation of energy the body begins to

liberate energy and if the person's not

thinking about time if you're not

thinking about where you need to be

where you need to go where you were

yesterday where you're sitting where you

live you know if you're not thinking

about any place you can go from

somewhere to nowhere and if you're not

thinking about the predictable future or

the familiar past you can go from

sometime to no time and we discovered

when a person becomes nobody no one no

thing nowhere and no time they literally

become pure Consciousness and opening

our awareness I know this is kind of

difficult to explain because we're

materialists opening our awareness to

nothing and sensing space

tends to cause us to move more into the

Eternal present moment and there's a

change that takes place in the brain so

we teach that and what awareness comes

out of that state so if I'm looking to

change my life because you know I'm

continually performing habits that are

not optimal you know I want to be

married and have a family and I want to

be productive in my work and I want to

go to the gym and Etc and my life is

just in this horrible cycle of the same

old same old same old and I feel

about about myself I know what I say I

want but I feel about myself what's

going to emerge from that process of

deep meditation in ter of awareness

you'll become so conscious of those

unconscious habits that more than likely

you won't want to do them again and

that's what uh uh for the most part

change is about so I think

people wait for crisis you know they

wait for disease they wait for a

betrayal something to go wrong in their

life and that's when they go okay I'm

ready to change my message is why wait

dude like why wait for that you know we

can learn and change in a state of pain

and suffering we can learn and change in

a state of joy and inspiration so then

you get a collective group of people

together that really may have all those

bad habits they they they may even have

bad habits that they don't even know

they

have and then all of a sudden they

become aware that they've been blaming

and complaining and making excuses and

feeling sorry for themselves and

procrastinating

and they start to reason if my

personality creates my personal reality

if I'm going to create a new personal

reality I got to change my personality

because this guy that that that's this

isn't the guy that wants to be happy

this is the guy who's committed to being

unhappy okay let's break it down let's

get down the fundamentals and now we

give them a road map of their thoughts

behaviors and emotions that that they

have lived by is that step two person

yeah you could say that step two is is

becoming conscious of your unconscious

self and then becoming conscious of a

new self Reinventing a new self and so

the person who's feeling really bad

about themselves because they're not

they're not doing anything to change

it's just

because um when you're not changing

you're still choosing uh but what you're

choosing is something that makes you

feel familiar and comfortable because

the moment you decide to change truly

get serious about change the moment you

decide to make a different choice and do

something differently you are going to

feel uncomfortable it's going to be

immediate and that's the moment you go

from the known into the unknown now if

the body has been emotionally

conditioned to be the mind like we

talked about earlier the servant is the

master and so the person who steps out

into the unknown and it feels

uncomfortable what is the body going to

say get back to

suffering get back to feeling bad get

back to feeling guilty at least that's

familiar that's known so tell a person

there's going to be a biological death

of the old self neurologically

chemically hormonally genetically

there's the old self is going to die

just know that that's going to happen

but instead of white knuckling it across

the river of change we're going to give

you something to do because that unknown

place is the perfect place to create in

so let's get you into the unknown but

let's get you there where you're relaxed

and awake

you're not escaping and if you do that

really well you're you'll be in a

creative state so you actually will be

out of survival and you'll be able to

create because you could only be in

survival or creation can't be in both so

let's get your body physiologically back

in the balance let's get it there now

who do you want to be what do you want

to believe let's review that what's a

belief a thought you keep thinking over

and over in your brain keep remembering

to think this way in your meditation how

am I going to be with my ex or my boss

let me close my eyes and think about

what greatness looks like what

forgiveness would do what love would do

let me just let me close my eyes and

mentally rehearse how I'm going to be in

that circumstance I'm going to keep

remembering to do these things so I

don't forget keep doing it over and over

again you start installing the hardware

repeat it enough times it gets like a

software program you start behaving that

way

automatically and then my goodness is it

possible to teach our body emotionally

how we do want to feel before it happens

in other words don't wait for your

wealth to feel abundant or your your

success to feel empowered or your

healing to feel wholeness that's waiting

for something in your outer World to

Change to take away the The Emptiness or

lack that you're feeling in your inner

World teach your body emotionally what

it feels like ahead of the actual

experience and the moment you start

feeling abundant you're generating

wealth the moment you can embody

empowerment you're stepping towards your

your success the moment you feel

grateful and whole be The Healing Begins

right so now you're starting to cause an

effect in your life so have the person

keep remembering to feel that way and

have them practice sooner or later

they'll start feeling that way more and

the more they feel that way the more

they'll believe in their future and some

people get so good at doing it that they

walk around feeling that emotion they

feel like their future has already

happened and when you feel like the

future has already happened you stop

looking for it and that's when the magic

starts to take place in people's lives

the synchronicities the coincidences the

opportunities they start coming to them

in their life and and that's the

reflection of their own personal

change I've seen thousands and thousands

tens of thousands of testimonials of

people saying jod sper CH changed my

life I mean I've got one at home right

got a testimonial that I live with um

I'm sorry no it's no honestly I I love

it because she's so she's probably back

there somewhere but she's so passate and

inquisitive and curious that I almost

vicariously am benefiting from the like

work and research she's doing and she's

bringing things into our relationship in

life that are making it more rich and

full and I have a certain perspective

which I wouldn't naturally go into that

world and even with breath work and the

other things that she's brought into our

relationship I wouldn't have naturally

gone there so it's super useful but

there must be instances where you've met

someone and you've tried to help them

and you've been unsuccessful of course

and

why don't those people change because

I'm assuming that you think most people

can change they have the propensity to

change why does it not work

sometimes and scientists asked me this

you know we talk about this all the time

uh sometimes uh being in such severe

lack uh of and Desperation desperation

you know uh creates a state where you

can't hear anything um because you you

don't you no new

information can enter the nervous system

that is not equal to the emotion the

person is experiencing as an ex just as

a broad understanding this is why we

don't do questions in our

events because you can give the person

the answer to the question that they're

asking you and they will not hear you

they will not hear you in fact they will

argue against you but if you get that

person out of that emotional state and

the only person that's going to do that

is them by the way get that person out

of their emotional state they can hear

that information so sometimes we're

programmed into such lack we're

programmed right to wait for something

out there to change to take away this

emptiness or lack you know when this

happens I'll feel this you know and so

when things are good in our life we feel

good and when things aren't so good in

our life we feel bad so we're kind of

victimized to the circumstances in our

life it's our outer world is controlling

our inner world of thoughts and feelings

so if the person has been programmed

into saying um I I I I I I why haven't I

healed or why hasn't this happened in my

life because the person who's saying why

haven't I healed is the old self the new

self would never say that right the new

self is too busy overcoming and becoming

right so I think people meet

information uh at their own level but

what I can tell you that is so

compelling and so

exciting is that when we get people on

the stage and it happens every event

it's it's

really quite

unbelievable to see a person stand on

the stage in front of 2300 people you

would walk right past her in the grocery

store um she doesn't look vegan she

doesn't look ketogenic she doesn't look

particularly fit or young or dressed

well you know whatever that is she just

looks like a normal person and they

stand on the stage and they tell their

story of how they were diagnosed with

cancer or um whatever the condition is

and what they did uh in their life to

change those health conditions and

there's numerous health

conditions when I look out in the

audience uh and I look at people uh

there isn't a soul in the audience that

isn't leaning in everybody is leaning in

because there's the example of Truth on

the stage and there's nothing like a

good story right so the change that

we're seeing in our community is that

there's a greater

acceptance a greater belief a greater

understanding a greater awareness to the

idea that you could actually heal

because people witness it and the person

in the audience who's seeing that person

who healed themselves from whatever

health condition it is

relates to them and they say my God if

if that person can do it I can do it as

well and just like an infection spreads

amongst the culture and creates disease

health and wellness can become as

infectious as disease right and so we

have it's not

uncommon like when that person stands on

the stage and they're the 4minute mile

if the person as Renard's syndrome we've

had events where four other people with

reard syndrome healed at the end of the

event like no longer have any symptoms

at all or we've had five people in one

event step out of a wheelchair now if

you ask me if I ever thought that was

possible I would say no so I do think uh

when a person sees that example of Truth

their awareness of possibility begins to

change and um the evidence then allows

the person to increase their own belief

uh in in themselves and

impossibility you used to add earlier on

the the word identity and I've been

pondering over the last couple of weeks

whether identity is useful cuz this is a

really trivial example but I've told

myself for a long time I don't like

running and this Christmas I decided

that it's probably important for me to

take on some of these limiting beliefs I

have so I just started running and in

doing so and going through the pain of

like Oh my legs hurt whatever I had this

sort of realization that like what other

areas of my life have I just created a

story that is closing in on me and

making my life more narrow and uh in

terms of how I think or like my health

or whatever and and so for the last

couple of weeks I've really been

thinking about this concept of identity

like what it is why we create one and

how harmful or positive it might be to

all of us yeah well look I mean I don't

I think we're all a work in progress

right I think it's an uncovering process

so I I always tell people you can be

anybody you want you can be any

character you want to be in

three-dimensional it in this in this

kind of virtual reality experience you

get to put on any character but when it

comes time to create when it comes time

to connect you got to lay down that

character you got to lay down the

identity you got to lay down that person

right and some people are have become

so uh uh idealized to their identity

that they can't be anything else and so

uh I don't think the identity is bad I

think I think as long as long as we're

able to to lay it down when we create

it's important and by the same means if

there are aspects of your personality or

your

identity that is undermining um your

life in some way uh and this happens to

so many people we see even with you know

when they're when they're getting

healings that they they their blood

values get better and then they get back

into their life and they blood values go

back up and then they get more healings

and their blood values go down and they

go back into their life and sooner or

later this goes on four or five times

they

say is it me like do I have something to

do with this and and the answer is

always yes if you if you want to take

the sign you can't take you can't take

one bite you got to actually eat the

whole thing

so so the so then what aspect of your

identity then is limiting you uh and

what is that story that you're saying to

reaffirm it to be the truth and is it

really the truth and if it's not the

truth then you got to make a decision

and you got to make a decision with such

firm intention to change that belief

that the amplitude of that choice

carries a level of energy that causes

your body to respond to your mind that

the choice that you're making in that

moment becomes a moment in time that

you'll never forget in other words you

have to say I knew exactly where I was

what I was doing what time of day it was

when I made up my mind to change right

it becomes a long-term memory and the

stronger emot the stronger the emotion

you feel when you make that choice the

more you remember the choice right and

so you can't say oh well I think I'm

going to change this kind of part of my

identity and your your body's going to

say he's lying like he's not serious

he's going to still make the same Choice

when you say this is it I don't care how

long it takes time I don't care how I

feel body I don't care what people think

of me or what's going on in my life

environment I'm going to change and you

come out of your resting state and you

make that choice you're giving your body

a taste of the future emotionally that's

what you're doing and so people who make

up their mind to change they have to

come out of their resting state and they

have to say th I'm doing this and and

that is a a strong signal in the field

so does that mean that if I do want to

change and I need that kind of escape

velocity for my old self the why the

reason must be abundantly clear

incredibly strong so if I'm in if I'm

making a New Year's resolution I'm not

going to just say listen I I want this

New Year's resolution because I think

people will think better of me if I have

it it's got to be so deep in my core and

I've got to be so clear and be able to

articulate the reason why this matters

to me for it to stand a chance yeah we

call that assigning meaning like so it's

so important to assign meaning to the

task or the act that we're uh engaging

and one of the best way to do that is to

hold that Vision or the dream of why

you're doing it I want to be healthier I

want to be more fit I want to be more

wealthy I want to be more free I want to

be more in love whatever it is the only

thing that's stopping you from being any

of those things is just a part of your

identity that has to change so that you

get there and it's nothing's mystical

about this if you said I want to be

wealthy this is your goal this is your

vision and here you are in lack the only

way you're going to get wealthy is this

person's going to have to change a lot

to find that wealth right so there's

nothing there's nothing mystical about

this we've all done it at some point in

our life where we just made up our mind

and and and what did we do when we when

we did it we got very clear like okay uh

let me remind myself what that vision is

I just got to remember why am I doing

this okay so I'm going to have to make a

different Choice let me write down those

choices I have to make I'm going to have

to start doing different things okay

what am I going to do let me remind

myself what I need to do okay why am I

doing it I'm doing for this experience

yeah I know it might hurt my legs in the

beginning or whatever it is I know it

may be a little uncomfortable I'm going

for this goal this is my goal and and

and the more we Fascinate about that

experience the more we start feeling the

emotion of that future that's when your

body what we've discovered is beginning

to biologically change because it's

starting to feel the emotion of the

future ahead of time right so that keeps

a person on the journey then we do

something really great we say what what

thoughts uh um do I want to stay away

from like I can't say I there's no way

I'm going to say I can't feel like it I

mean if you're truly committed to being

healthy and you're going to exercise you

can never say I'm too tired you can

never say I don't feel like it that's

going to cause you to not make the

choice right so it's kind of this

process where we're kind of doing that

exact thing we're actually looking at

the old identity and we're we're

reminding ourselves of who we want to

become right and and until you become it

and we discovered it's the overcoming

process that is the becoming process

when the person overcomes some belief

some behavior um some emotion when they

truly overcome it they naturally become

somebody else it's it's just a side

effect their their work in doing that

makes them love themselves more you also

have a lot of case studies of I was

reading a a lot of them from army

veterans and people that have been

through pretty horrific experience in

the Army I was reading a story of Joshua

who was a army veteran who I believe

came to one of your events and took part

in your meditation and described it in

his own words as his heart cracked wide

open yeah what happened with Joshua

because that's a good example of

personal transformation well

um we we have a program right now in the

veterans the Navy Seals special ops um

simply because there's lots of stories

like like Joshua where um you know he

was pretty much ready to give up on his

life and many of these veterans you know

they they they cope to the best of their

ability but they in the back of their

mind they have an exit plan they they

have the drugs ready they're you know

thinking about taking their life many of

them think this way and they've done uh

so many different um uh types of things

to help themselves and even even a lot

of them have done plant medicine and and

mushrooms and you know ketamine and all

kinds of things to help them but on some

level their their PTSD U wouldn't

doesn't go away and and Joshua is a

great example because he was at the very

bottom of the uh point in his life where

he was ready to give

up and you know the thing that I like to

do with veterans is to reason with them

if you have a if you have a a Navy SEAL

right and these are Elite

individuals if I tell them exactly what

will happen if they practice opening

their heart if if I say to them it's

going to reset the Baseline for trauma

in the brain they don't say how do I do

it they say yes sir like I'm going to do

I'm going to do it until it till it

happens and that's what happens to all

of these guys they're they get they're

they there's so much trauma in their

brain and body there's so much

incoherence in their nervous system

there's so many physical problems that

they're having

that they that they they they're just

really out of balance so if we if we

work with these people and give them all

the information and give them numerous

opportunities to apply it so many of

them break through and that's the moment

um their brain and body literally are no

longer connected to the memory uh or or

the emotion that keeps them in the past

and and they get recalibrated and he was

a drug addict an alcoholic a victim of

child abuse yeah and the before and

after of Joshua

dramatic yeah dramatic um again you know

we interview a lot of these veterans you

know we did we interviewed this he

didn't know anything about meditation

this guy never meditated in his life you

know he he didn't know anything about me

and know he didn't even know where he

was going this is how blind the study

was and he got there and he was just

like there's no way like I'm going to

hang out with all these people you know

he was really you know in and you know

always on guard and they asked him in

front of the camera like my goodness

like what happened and he and like he

got this is a guy that looks like a Navy

SEAL and he paused for like a

minute and he was got so emotional he

said I I got my life back I got my life

back I got every my marriage is great

again I'm in love with my kids I can

feel again I'm happy like I'm not faking

it I really feel a change you know

so that's how the vet the vet program

kind of grew through because the veteran

program was just a few vets coming that

were again injured in some way

physically or emotionally and completely

different at the end of the event

they're going to go tell their tribe

like right away like you got to do this

this really helped me so we have a

strong veteran community and you know we

have our one of our nonprofits the give

to give Foundation that works with

veterans and we create all kinds of

programs for them to heal and and we're

super proud of the results we're getting

someone like Joshua has been through so

much in their life where an objective

Observer would say it is warranted that

they might be living in a state of

victimhood how important is it to

forgive I think it's really uh one of

the fundamental things that Keep Us

Alive I mean forgiveness to me is just

overcoming the emotion that's it and

like if you overcome the emotion the

side effect of that is that your heart

will open that's exactly what happens

and when en energy moves into the heart

we start releasing different chemicals

than we when we feel angry or we feel

victimized or we feel sexual it's just a

different

chemical Elixir and oxytocin is released

and oxytocin signals nitric oxide and

nitric oxide signals another chemical

that causes the arteries in your heart

to literally dilate the heart gets

filled with energy it's engorged with

blood when that occurs the oxytocin

level lels that you're feeling the love

that you're feeling um the studies show

that when oxytocin levels are just

elevated a little bit it's really hard

to hold a grudge you just can't right so

if you're willing to

forgive and you overcome the emotion

you'll take your attention off the

person or the problem right because the

stronger the emotion we have the more we

pay attention to our problems or the

person right overcome the emotion you no

longer have your attention on that

person and in a sense you're taking

energy and you're calling it back to you

right so you're building your own field

and

so love is the Elixir that allows us to

forgive in other words you can't

say I'm going to forgive you it's uh

January 31st or February 1st remember

this day we got a thing I forgave you so

that's not like forgiveness when people

really have that feeling of pure love

where they've actually gotten over the

emotion they've already forgiven they're

like I'm totally cool I'm great you

great I'm great like so it's a side

effect of a change because if the

stronger the emotion we feel the more we

pay attention to that person uh where we

place our attention is where we place

our energy okay overcome the emotion you

no longer have your attention on that

person you're calling energy back to you

and you're building your own field and

there's energy now to heal there's

energy Now to create there's energy now

for the mystical experience and so you

can't do that if you're feeling

frustrated or if you're feeling Ang

anger if you're feeling resentment

you'll always hold the grudge you have

to convert you have to teach a person

how to get into that elevated State and

the side effect of that is forgiveness

it's not something that you have to do

it's just something that automatically

happens when we think about forgiving

people that have wronged us our dad when

we were younger that person at work you

the the boss that fired us or even

something that happened that

significantly worse it almost feels like

a justification or an acceptance of what

happened to us which makes it feel like

there's an injustice in the world like

if I forgive that person I'm letting

them off yeah do you think we should

always forgive everybody in all

circumstances yeah I think so I mean

because I mean you free yourself the

only way you're going to free yourself

from that person uh or from that past

experience is for you to literally

overcome the emotion

so um God we've all had people do really

horrible things and we've probably done

some horrible things the people as well

um but I don't think you can free

yourself or free them unless you decide

that um you know love is going to be the

thing that heals it and and God so many

people do it in our work and and the

side effect of it is that they they they

have wonderful effects in their lives

many times just healing there is a

chronic stress in society that seems to

be going in One Direction it seems to be

going up and up and up and I was

wondering if that ties into the subject

of burdens we're carrying from our past

that are keeping us elevated in ways

that are suboptimal yeah well I God I

mean what a crazy time to be alive right

now I mean there are so many things

happening in such a short amount of time

I mean it's almost overwhelming every

day there's something

happening and you know so living in

stress is living in survival the problem

with the stress hormones is that the

arousal that's created from the stress

hormones causes us uh to move into these

higher brain wave States called beta

brain wave states were aroused and the

arousal causes us to pay attention

primarily to all the things in our outer

world the arousal causes us to put our

attention on our body it causes us to

obsess and think about time and so uh

people get stuck in these uh High brain

wave States and I think the big

challenge is is if you understand that

stress is when you're knocked out of

homeostasis when your brain and body are

knocked out of balance then your

response or your reaction to people or

circumstances in your life that you're

chronically feeling on a regular basis

is actually weakening the organism

because when you turn on that emergency

system the fight ORF flight nervous

system because of the hormones of stress

and you move your body out of balance

and it has no time to recover and turn

back to balance now you're headed for

disease because no organism can live in

emergency mode for that extended period

of time the arousal creates a rush of

energy and people become

addicted to the stress hormones they

become addicted to those

emotions and so that now they need the

people and the conditions and the

circumstances and their life to reaffirm

their addiction to the emotion they need

the bad job they need the bad

relationship they need the traffic they

need the news uh just so that they can

stay uh in that emotional state so then

75 to 90% of every person that walks

into a healthcare facility in the

Western World walks in because of

emotional or psychological stress that's

the number one thing so our emotional

response uh to the conditions in our

life then becomes the important element

so people think oh my god um when I'm

emotional I I can't control my emotions

and turns out you can regulate it turns

out you can uh shorten the response uh

period from from emotions and it takes

practice right so uh you could take the

you could have the most ketogenic vegan

organic uh peptide you know whatever

intermittent fasting diet and you could

do yoga and you can do cardio and you

can do hit training and um you know

foundation training and

whatever uh get massage you know

acupuncture but if you're an emotional

wreck and you can't you know if there's

three types of stress physical chemical

and emotional then there's three types

of balance physical chemical and

emotional if you if you got your body in

physical balance and chemical balance

and you're not putting it in emotional

balance these these will never stop day

um so then the important part important

element then is teaching people how to

shorten the refractory period of their

emotional responses and catch themselves

when they're feeling those emotions and

change it and not rely on anything

outside of them to do it a video game or

a drug or whatever people do teach them

that they have the tools to do it

themselves and if they understand that

they're addicted to those emotions I've

seen this thousands of times there's

always an aha moment like

I'm addicted to anger really oh my God

maybe I am now the moment you recognize

that oh my God I'm using that person to

reaffirm my addiction to anger oh my God

like I don't want to I don't want to

feel anger okay well an addiction is

something that you think you can't stop

an addiction is uh doing something that

you know isn't good for you and you're

doing it anyway right so these emotions

are addictive then I'm going to probably

go through withdrawals I've probably

overdosed a few times I've probably had

a couple bad trips okay so let me get

really clear like how am I going to

change this so if to change is to be

greater than your body your environment

and time when you live in stress and you

live in survival all your attention is

on your body your environment and time

it means when we're living in stress

it's really hard to change MH because

it's not a time to change it's time to

run fight and hide right so so teaching

people how to break those emotional

addictions um is the side effect of that

is called Joy a person is no longer

tormenting their body in keeping it out

of balance and many people who heal in

this work they don't say oh I'm going to

I'm going to heal this health condition

they'll say the first thing I'm going to

do and this is the majority of them is

I'm going to work on getting my body

back into homeostasis like I'm going to

work on regulating my emotional states

I'm not going to react in this way I'm

not going to respond this

way that's the work right there is

breaking those emotional addictions so

that we can move out of survival uh and

in survival it's not a time to create in

survival it's not a time to meditate

it's not a time to close your eyes and

go within you'd be eaten it's not a time

to be vulnerable it's not a time to open

your heart right and yet we got to work

with our bodies and be able to to

recondition them to a new mind and and

so a lot of the work that we do

especially during this time in history

where everybody's feeling the the um the

pressure the environmental pressure of

stress is to give people the tools to be

able to self-regulate and when I mean

self-regulate that means move from one

emotional state to another emotional

state and it's not bad that we react we

all react I react but the question is

how long like how long are you going to

react for because um if you keep doing

it uh for months or years It ultimately

becomes your personality right yeah and

it has a big impact on your immune

system I've noticed that when I'm in a

state of prolonged reaction negative

reaction to something it only takes a

couple more days for me to get a flu or

a cold or something and I H like because

I don't get sick often so I think I get

sick kind of like I am now maybe twice a

year and so it's very easy it's almost

like a shock and then it's very easy for

me to trace my steps and see what

brought me here so this happened my

response was

this 8 days later I felt my immune

system go cuz I get sick so rarely it's

so unbelievably clear what happened to

me there's no like oh I I touched

something and then the germs got in my

mouth for me it's so clear in my life so

yeah that's kind of what I I want to do

is I want to stop that happening yeah

well look how old are you I'm 32 32 my

God you're doing great I mean if you

figure this out now by the time you're

40 you'll you'll have it mastered um so

we did a study where we had people stop

feeling survival

emotions uh for 3 days and have them

practice feeling elevated emotions

heart- centered emotions we measured uh

a chemical called IGA immunoglobuline a

it's your body's natural flu shot it's

actually better than a flu shot and uh

and so we measured people's IGA levels

at the beginning of this time and then

we measured them at the end at the end

of 3 Days by trading those limited

emotions for more elevated emotions

their IG a levels went up 50% 50% so so

when you're feeling an elevated emotion

the body is so objective that it's

believing it's living in an nurturing

and loving environment if the

environment signals the Gene and it does

and the end product of an experience in

the environment is an emotion that

person is signaling genes ahead of the

environment that's and now the body is

going to make globulins which are

proteins that are going to create more

internal defense and uh uh uh and less

and less uh attention on external

defense so the immune system then which

is the internal protection system begins

to move back into order if you're

really align with because it's all about

solving complex customer problems with

rapid experimentation to move faster

quite similar to the culture I want to

Foster at my companies if this sounds

like you and you want to grow your Tech

Career working alongside the best check

out intuit.com careers they also offer

hybrid work and a very inclusive culture

with offices in Atlanta New York San

Diego the Bay Area Toronto and around

the world head over to in nit t/c

careers to explore their

opportunities what about routine in all

of this is there value in having a

strong

routine because then when the winds blow

at least I'm anchored by something yeah

I try to avoid that word because I think

it conjures up a lot of beliefs for

people I I think I I'd like to say if

you can set aside a certain amount of

time for yourself just for yourself to

be alone with yourself and for me um my

routine is to have two hours in the

morning that's just my time like that's

my time where I'm going to get my brain

and body right it's a time where I'm

going to think about the things I have

to do in the day and how I'm going to to

be in my in my day get that all clear

then I do my meditation and my

meditation is really uh for me to

overcome myself uh and change and then

create and I you know I don't care if

you do it in the morning or in the

evening I'm a morning person I've always

been a morning person I have friends

that are that are artists and musicians

even my kids they're just more even

evening people they just they're

creative so they like the evening

doesn't matter to me I just pick a time

in your day where you can think about

who you want to be and who you no longer

want to be and think about what you're

going to change and and you know always

make a little room for the unknown which

is the fun part and and get creative

yeah and so and our that's one of the

things I'm proud of in in our community

I'm really proud of the fact that people

do the work like everybody does the work

it's not like I have to make them do it

and when I ask them like why like why do

you do it every day aside from the

majority of saying it makes me feel

better they typically say I don't want

the magic to end like there's too many

good things too many good things going

on in my life like I want to keep doing

this it's working for me so it's kind of

not like I have to it's a want to you

talked earlier on about brain heart

coherence it's a term that I've not

heard before I didn't know that there

was a connection between my brain and my

heart oh there's a definite connection

between your brain and heart yeah so we

were so fascinated this was uh February

of 2020 I'll never forget it we we

started and our when we were doing our

electroencephalograms you know our brain

studies um we we put a a cardiac lead

from the heart uh uh to the machine and

we started looking at HRV in comparison

to brain waves and coherence is rhythm

right so when waves are kind of moving

in Rhythm like this you can you can see

that on the brain scan right they're

these yeah they're very orderly they're

very rhythmic like that so so if you

think of waves that are Co

coherent being very orderly and being

very rhythmic

um when they're when they're out of

order like choppy and they different

parts of the brain are in different

rhythms that's when the brain's

incoherent right and and so when we

started looking at um training people

how to broaden their awareness to sense

space when you're sensing space the act

of sensing and feeling causes you to

stop analyzing and thinking and if

you're not analyzing and thinking you

start suppressing neocortical activity

your brain waves start to slow down in

beta you know you're aware that you're a

body local in space and time that's

low-level beta like we're talking right

now we're in low-level beta if I said

Stephen I'm going to give you a quiz um

and you're going to have to take the

quiz in front of your audience and you

would kind of perk up a little bit your

brain would get a little bit more

aroused and the light bulb would get a

little brighter and You' move into

mid-range Vader that's like when you're

going to give a speech or you're at a

dinner and you don't know people you're

kind of you kind of be a little bit more

aware just for people that can't see

this because they might be listening on

audio so beta is uh conscious awareness

now in beta the the brain is trying to

create meaning between what's going on

in the outer world and what's going on

in the inner world and it's processing

all the sensory information so a lot of

data so beta is like conscious and awake

and so there's low-level beta there's

mid-range beta it's not on this chart

but high level beta is when you're

fearful when you're anxious when you're

angry when you're in pain when you're

frustrated when you're jealous whatever

uh people get switched on in these high

levels of beta and that's when we get

overfocused you ever been under stressed

and you start over focusing that's

because you're you're you're narrowing

your focus and you're over focusing and

that's kind of a brain State and so when

you broaden your awareness and instead

of narrow your focus on something

physical or material that's what the

stress hormones do but if you broaden

your awareness and you sense space and

you this act of sensing causes you to no

longer analyze and think and your brain

waves start to move into Alpha now in

Alpha which is this brain wave is a

slower brain wave state that's the

creative state of the brain the brain

sees more in pictures more in images

it's more imaginary right in beta

there's a voice talking to you in the

back of your head all the time saying

this is right and this is wrong you got

this to do you got that to do that's the

critic kind of in our brain when you

when you get Beyond beta brain waves and

you move into Alpha you start opening

the door between the conscious mind and

the subconscious mind now we're not just

looking for any type of alpha but we're

looking for coherent Alpha so we want

all those compartments that we're firing

in different rhythms and different

frequencies all of a sudden start doing

this so now the whole entire brain

starts moving into what's called Global

coherence now when the brain starts

synchronizing like that what sinks in

the brain starts to link in the brain

and the whole brain starts to fire as

one neurological Network and that's what

our data shows now that's not the end

that's just when you're moving into an

imaginary State and people do this but

but a lot of people move into Alpha but

it's not coherent so we're looking for a

coherent Alpha

now many of the people that are

meditating really well they can relax

their body so well and they can feel so

safe that their body moves into a light

rest or a light sleep while they're

still awake so it's relaxed and awake in

that realm you're in a hypnotic State

you're in feta brain waves and in Theta

now lights are shut out in the thinking

Neo cortest that plugs us into

three-dimensional reality the identity

is gone the character is gone there's no

activity there now the door between the

conscious mind and the subconscious mind

is wide open to information and now

we're suggestible to information and now

we're in the operating system we can get

in the subconscious mind and rewrite a

program we could rehearse a new script

we can tell a new story instead of the

story of the past we can tell the story

of our future and we can Pro program our

subconscious mind and our autonomic

nervous system to begin to change our

biology now go too far past Theta and

you fall into Delta and now lights are

out you're in a catatonic State and

you're unconscious right and so we kind

of do this when we go to bed at night we

go from beta to Alpha Theta to Delta and

if you're under stress and you're in

high beta you can't sleep and you can't

sleep because you're thinking right and

you can't drop through brain waves when

you wake up in the morning you go from

Delta to the Theta to Alpha to Beta

right so there's two times that the door

between the conscious mind and the

subconscious mind opens up okay what

does this have to do with brain and

heart coherence well in Theta when a

person is in that state where their

attention is on their

heart and energy is in their heart it's

natural for the heart to tell the brain

to get creative it's time to imagine

it's time to fall in love with a future

now the heart is the creative center

right right it's the it's the part of

the our biology that that allows the

brain to begin the frontal lobe to begin

to create so you get the heart and the

Brain kind of working together the more

relaxed you get in your heart the more

awake you get in the brain Something

Beautiful happens in the brain if the

person can sustain this and they're in

that Theta State Theta becomes the

carrier wave and right within the brain

you start to see Alpha Waves building on

theta waves and then alpha waves in

harmonics into beta waves and harmonics

into high beta and then High beta

ultimately into gamma and now the person

is

relaxed and very awake because gamma is

superconsciousness it is super awareness

so the the formula of being relaxed and

awake and synchronizing your heart to

your brain causes the brain to move into

a state of what's called resonance and

resonance is when you have w waves on

top of waves harmonics and the Brain

starts functioning in a more resonance

State sometimes even people have Delta

as the base carrying Theta and Theta

carrying Alpha and Alpha carrying beta

to high beta to gamma and they're all

waves within waves and as those waves

come together if they're if they're

coherent they interfere and create a

bigger wave and then those waves come

together and they interfere and they

create bigger waves and that's exactly

how the energy in the brain goes up so

we have brain scans of people who whose

gamma brain waves are 200 300 400

standard deviations outside of normal

I'm going give you an idea three

standard deviations outside of normal is

2% of the population so they're they're

processing an enormous amount of energy

in their brain and it feels really good

really good so we practice a lot

synchronizing the heart to the brain if

you do like MDMA or something does that

put you into some of these brain waves

I'm wondering if any psychedelics are

inducing of these states we're going to

do a comparative study actually um this

year with psychedelics and meditation I

can I can answer that question more

definitively what we do know from fmri

studies with

psilocybin is that the default mode

Network in the brain the one I was

talking about earlier that's always the

brain's

predictor that that shuts off in a in a

with with a psilocybin and that's

exactly what we see in our our our

Advanced meditators and our fmis

that those people that are having a

mystical experience right in the

MRI looks like they're taking psilocybin

the same exact the same exact brain

circuits are turned off on this um Theta

wave you talking about how that's really

where a lot of the reprogramming can

happen so do I need to be in that state

and then be exposed to some kind of

stimulus sound good question good

question um well I'll answer in three

ways first way is when you're conscious

in your subconscious mind and you're

trained to imagine whatever it is that

you want you're going to begin to Signal

your autonomic nervous system to start

manufacturing chemicals equal to your

intention in other words the intention

of whatever you're thinking about acts

as information that begins to change

your biology so Theta is a great way to

open up the door

we also use Theta um when we want to

program people because it's a hypnotic

state to a mystical experience and if

they're in that state remember when

you're suggestible you accept believe

and surrender to information as if it's

the truth without analyzing it and

that's what programs people's biology

right so you can program somebody into

believing they need a drug and you can
