If our thoughts could make us sick, is it possible that my thoughts could make me well? Well, if that's the case then, then I'm going to have to manage my attention, and I'm going to have to manage my energy, because where I place my attention is where I place my energy. Then I'm going to have to inhibit that thought that has conditioned the body to subconsciously be the mind. Welcome to the School of Greatness. My name is LewisHouse, a former pro athlete, turned lifestyle entrepreneur. In each week, we bring you an inspiring person or message to help you discover how to unlock your inner greatness. Thanks for spending some time with me today. Now let the class begin. Welcome back and we're at School of Greatness. Very excited about our guest. We have the inspiring Dr. Joe dispensate in the house. So good to see you again. Happy to see you, Lewis. Very excited. Very excited. I want to start with one of your quotes, because I think this is going to be very profound for a lot of people who have watched your content before, but also people who have never heard about you, which I feel like would be hard to see people who have never heard about you, at least on my channel. This is a quote of yours, "Just as thoughts are the language of the brain, feelings are the language of the body, and how you think and how you feel create a state of being. A state of being is when your mind and body are working together. So your present state of being is your genuine mind body connection." I love this quote and I see you talking about this a lot here in your meditations. This is in one of your books as well. And the thing that I want people to focus on today, a lot of people are feeling sick. They're feeling stressed, they're feeling overwhelmed, and their bodies and their minds are literally getting sicker and sicker. Specifically here in America, obesity is increasing and it just feels like more and more people are on medications and are needing things to try to help them feel better in the moment. But I don't believe it's helping them get to the root of their pain and their sickness, and I don't think it's going to help them extend their lifespan and also be healthier later in life. I went to your event last year and was blown away and what I witnessed in seven days of doing intensive, conscious meditations that you were leading and witnessing the healings that were happening within seven days of people who were unable to stand up straight and feeling pain throughout their entire body, people who were in wheelchairs who were able to have the strength to get out of them, people who were struggling seeing clearly and were blurry eyes that could now see clearer. And so many other incredible what people might think miracles happening after seven days of following your practice and the practice that you've been applying to yourself for a long time. And so I wanted to start with this context because I feel like people are sick and they want to heal. But why do you think so many people struggle to feeling whole and healing when there seems to be the answer to how to do it, but people continue to struggle with their health. Why do you think that is? Well, there's a lot of things to unpack there. We have three types of stress that we process in the physical body. We have physical stress. That's like trauma, accidents, injuries, falls. And then you have chemical stress like toxins of pesticides, polluting, viruses or bacteria hangovers or nutritional deficiencies. And then you have emotional stress, right? And emotional stress could be family tragedies, car accidents, second mortgages, single parenting, 401Ks, whatever that is. But each one of those things, physical, chemical, emotional, knock the body out of homeostasis, out of regulation, out of balance. The innate capacity of the body when it's not overstressed is that it wants to always return back and regulate, wants to return back to homeostasis, wants to return back to order. And that's clean of innate in us. That's an automatic process that's running through the autonomic nervous system so we could say the job of the autonomic nervous system is to create balance and regulation in homeostasis and it's automatic, right? And that part of the brain sits under the thinking of the O cortex. And it's called the chemical brain or the emotional brain, the limbic brain or the mammalian brain. And it has all of those functions that make blood sugar balance, hormone levels, digestive enzymes. It's doing what it can to take the body and constantly repair it and regenerate it, move it back into balance. All of those stressors knock the brain on body out of balance and the innate mechanism, the stress response brings it back to balance. Well it just makes sense. If you keep knocking it out of balance over and over again and you keep moving it out of homeostasis, that imbalance is going to become the new balance and now you're headed for a disease because that autonomic automatic system can't regulate order in the body. So a system then is compromised, the system breaks down. And so if it's physical trauma, you know, your body can heal if you rest it. If it's chemical imbalance, you take your pharmaceuticals or you take your nutraceuticals, your vitamins, your minerals, your herbs, you intermittent fast, you do eat a vegan diet. You do anything you can get the body back so that it's using more energy for growth and repair. So for some people, digestion consumes more energy than the process makes, right? So really? The state of constant diminishing returns, right? So when the autonomic nervous system is out of balance and digestive system is perceiving that there's a threat and danger all the time in the outer world, the person's living in fear is not a time to digest, right? So that system is compromised, right? So then they become very sensitized to the foods they consume because the response constantly from the environment is weakening the organism, right? So they're victim to the environment. So they're more susceptible to have food allergies or whatever it is. So then the person then goes to a diet where they consume less foods that require more energy to break down. So it's like taking a camel in a desert that's fallen and lifting all the packs off it, getting it back up and then slowly adding the packs back on, right? So people do things to get the body back into chemical balance and sometimes the refining or changing their diet in some way and there's thousands of options for that. You got to feel good about it and you got to believe in it. But the big factor is emotional stress. Yes. Really, for the most part, 75 to 90% of every person that walks into a healthcare facility in the Western world walks in because of psychological emotional stress. That's really. Pretty much four out of five people, what's really causing their health condition is that they're emotionally stressed and emotionally out of balance. Okay. So what are the emotions that are connected to the stress hormones? It's anger, it's hatred, it's violence, it's frustration, it's competition, it's control, it's judgment, it's envy, it's jealousy, it's insecurity, it's fear, it's anxiety, it's worry, it's angst, it's hopelessness, it's powerlessness, it's guilt, it's shame, it's unworthiness. Psychology calls these normal human states of consciousness, these are altered states of consciousness. So, our response to someone or something in our environment or our response to our own thought and image of what could happen in the future, memory of the past, could actually cause chemicals to be secreted from the brain. It's crazy. That causes the body to actually believe it's living in that same environment of fear or danger. So, what do we hear you say there, just so I'm correct, we can think of thought of our past memory, whether it's true or not, what happened. Memory, exactly. Memory of something that we think happened, it may have happened, it may have been something that we continue to make up that happened, right? But a memory. 50% of that is a lie, so yeah, more than likely. 50% of our memories are lies. Yeah, they're not the truth. Right, right. Or they're expanded into something else, right? They're embellished. They're embellished. So we can think of a memory, a painful memory, and we can hold on to that thought, or we can think about something we're worried about in the future that hasn't happened. We can pick up, we can pick some worst-case scenario and obsess about it. And we can obsess about it. And just the thought alone could create an emotion that could make us sick. Is that what I'm hearing? Yeah, because that thought, when you're seeing that thought in your mind or remembering that image, it's the image and the emotion. It's the thought and the feeling. It's a stimulus and response. That's immediately conditioning the body into that state of imbalance. So it's a scientific fact that the long-term effects of the hormones of stress push the genetic buttons and create disease. If you can turn on that stress response just by thought alone, your thoughts are literally going to make you sick. Okay, really? So that's the greatest example of the mind-body connection. So the net's fundamental question is, okay, if our thoughts could make us sick, is it possible that my thoughts could make me well? Well, if that's the case then, then I'm going to have to manage my attention. And I'm going to have to manage my energy because where I placed my attention is where I placed my energy. And I'm going to have to inhibit that thought that has conditioned the body to subconsciously be the mind of that emotion. And the body's so objective that it does not know the difference between the real life experience that's creating that emotion. And the emotion that person is fabricating by thought alone to the body, it's exactly the same. So the body's believing it's being chased by a predator. The body's believing it's in an offensive situation where it has to attack. The body's believing it's constantly needing to be ready. And it's constantly out of homeostasis, it's constantly out of balance. It's in emergency. It's in fight or flight. It's a different system in the autonomic nervous system where you're stepping on the gas, where you're mobilizing enormous amounts of energy for some threat, some danger, real or imagined. But that thought and the feeling, the image, the emotion, the stimulus response is conditioning the body to automatically be the mind of that emotion. So then now the body becomes conditioned and addicted. Now this gets to be a problem because people get addicted to their own thoughts. It becomes their personality, right? It is their identity. And they become addicted to the life they don't even like because their response to the co-worker, to the boss, to the ex is actually giving a rush of energy, a rush of a general and then they're they're associating that rush of energy with some problem or condition in their life. And now come time to change and manage your attention and manage your emotion. It's no different than breaking addiction to anything. There's cravings. The body wants to return back to how it's been conditioned into the familiar past, into the known. Even if it's uncomfortable, painful, and a horrific feeling, why do we go back into that feeling? Because we don't believe there's anything in the future. If we knew that the best way to create a future, really, is to change your state of being, then then you would have to manage your attention on that thought and have to say, is this thought actually the truth? And how long am I going to keep thinking this thought? And firing and wiring that circuit in the brain. So there's biology because now it's an automatic program. It's a belief. And belief is just the thought you keep thinking over and over again until it becomes subconscious or unconscious. So to change then has become so conscious of that unconscious thought that unconscious belief that it wouldn't slip by your awareness. I notice and checked and now the bodies in rehab because it's overdose. It's been on a bad trip. And the body which has been conditioned to be the mind is 95% of who we are right by the time and the middle of our life. So there's David and Goliath and the body's just saying, look, you think you've been making all your decisions your whole life. Actually, you have a body has been making these decisions because it's the mind. So then the body says, okay, Lewis, this is really good that you want to be kind and compassionate. That's all you've been for 30, 40 years. He says, let me just send some thoughts or some memories of the past that are going to just cause you to feel that emotion. So the body starts saying to the mind, you can, it's too hard, you'll never change. This is too uncomfortable. I don't like this go back to meet the same choice, do the same thing, create the same experience, feel the same emotion. So you return back to the known and that's how people seamlessly return back to that same identity. So back to the concept of health, physical balance. Okay, let's talk about that. What do you want to do? Intermittent, interval training, you want to do yoga, you want to do Pilates, you want to do sprinting, you want to do running, you want to do weights, whatever it is. Get your body more physically balanced and physical balance has to do with strength, flexibility and endurance and get those three in balance. Right? So you want to do acupuncture, cariburactic massage, whatever it is that you want to treat your body to to honor it in that way. Get it back into physical balance and there's no doubt in any one of these areas, you're going to have to stretch yourself outside of what you think you can do because that's the only way you're going to change. Yes. So just when you think you've had enough, then go a little bit more, stretch yourself out that way without hurting yourself, do it with intention, do it with assigning meaning to why you're doing that activity, get the greatest value out of it, works better when you do. Yes. Don't resist it, get into it, face off with whatever it is, the pain, the limitation, whatever and just mark your progress and have it be something that you mindfully want to improve on. Do that and your body will get stronger, get more flexible and have more endurance. Okay? So take care of your body chemically, you know, get a blood test. I don't know, do what do what do whatever you need to do to get it chemically back in the balance. If you're if you're having these symptoms, then you're going to have to maybe start eliminating certain things and making different choices. That mean that stuff is bad. No, it means you're out of balance and this bad for you. Don't make it a thing like you have to do it forever. Just understand why you're doing it. So take your nutrients and your vitamins and your minerals and understand why you're taking those things and do that with the intention. Right. So meaning behind you'll get a great around come. But it sounds like if you take care of the physical and you take care of the chemical, you still might feel or be sick if you don't take care of that emotional. That's exactly where I'm going. So get those two in order, but you can do all the right things. That's exactly what it's like. It still feels sick. No, listen, my brain and my body is not working and I feel exhausted and I've been drained. Right. Right. Because your response to the environment and response to your own thoughts as weakening the organism, your squandering energy. Okay. So do it all to do all the physical things. Yes. Do all the chemical things. But be controlling rigid judgmental, self-judgmental, you know, get really over focused on your food and get really over focused on everything. But you're controlling everything in your life and you're living in fear. None of this is going to make much of a difference until you get your body back into homeostasis and balance emotionally. Right. So why? Because the moment you return back to this same emotion, your body's so objective, it's believing it's living in the same past experience. And you will behave as if you're in the past. And you will think as if you're in the past and you're literally living your life from the past. And that's the way it is. And so it takes crisis, it takes trauma, it takes disease, diagnosis, loss, betrayal. So for people who have finally gone, I've had enough. Right. Why wait, you know. So you do the organic diet, you do the intermittent fasting, you do the vegan, you do the gluten-free, you do the keto, you do your actual maintenance. Absolutely. But you're just controlling and rigid. You are going to take the signal to your cell, which is fear and make organic fear proteins. That's what you're trying to make. Right. And I have no, listen, I take care of my body, I exercise, I eat well, I make great choices. But I know that if this component, then we have case histories of people that have killed themselves of ALS, of lupus, of cancer, that complete reverse Parkinson's, complete reversal of their health condition. One person in one hour got bad news in one hour, all of her symptoms came back. She's went right back to the same emotion, signal the same gene. If the environment signals the gene according to Abyssinetics, and the end product of an experience in the environment is an emotion. Then it makes sense. Then as long as you feel that emotion, you're signaling the same gene in your body's believing it's living in the same environment. Seemlessly you'll return back to the same health condition because you'll upregulate the genes and downregulate genes and you'll move your body back out of balance. And as I said, seamlessly, the condition in one hour came back she couldn't get out of her car. She said, "If I did it once, I could do it again." She just reversed the process. And it's the second time she was able to do it again. She learned that nobody or nothing is worth it, justified or not. The only person we're hurting is ourselves. So self-regulation, getting your autonomic nervous system back into balance and homeostasis is going to require then breaking the addiction to those emotions and those emotions that are driving certain behaviors and thoughts that cause a person in an instant to say, "I want to be healthy, I want to live for a long period of time." And then they go back to making the same choice because they return to the same emotion. And now they're back in the past. And it's like you're fighting against what you really want. say you want by living in this position. 95% programmed working against 5% of your conscious mind that's saying, "Okay, have the intention and you could say I'm healthy, I'm wealthy, I'm mortal." Whatever. And your body's saying, "Dude, you're miserable." That thought never makes it past the brains then to the body because that's not consistent with the emotion of the body because we only accept, believe and surrender to the thoughts equal to our emotional state. We never accept and believe or surrender to any thoughts that are not equal to our emotional state. Wow. Can you say that one more time so people can fully understand that? We only accept, believe and surrender to the thoughts that are equal to our emotional state. We'll never accept, believe and surrender, any thoughts that are not equal to your emotional state. So you could say I'm abundant, I'm eternal, I live forever, I'm healthy and wealthy. And if your program, your body into that emotional state, it's going to say, "You're not that, you're a believer, it doesn't believe." It only accepts the thoughts of suffering and misery because it's equal to that emotional state. So then here's the fundamental question. Okay, take a person whose identity is resentment. Yes. And their identity is anger and frustration and betrayal. And you ask them, "Why are you this way?" And they'll say, "I'm this way because of this event that happened to me 15 years ago. Strawler the emotion we feel from some event." The more altered we feel inside of us, the more that chemical continuity is disrupted from something that surprises us. That authors our state. The more the brain freezes a frame and takes a snapshot that's called a memory, right? But the problem is that we think about that event over and over again after it happens, we're producing the same chemistry in the brain body as if the event was occurring. And so the body is conditioned really literally into the penest. So we're living in the past. So a person says, so you say the person's resentful about everything. They're seeing their life through the lens of resentment and frustration and anger and everything's upsetting them. Well, that's a self-fulfilling prophecy. You say, "Okay, now it's an addiction. You got to change that." And a person goes, "Oh, okay, that makes sense." And now that you got to get out of bleachers on the playing field and say, "Okay, these emotions could literally have something to do with my health." Just saying, "If I stop feeling these emotions, what if I start feeling these emotions? Okay, what would be the emotions that would make me happy? These emotions are making me feel really bad. The memories are making me feel really bad. Can I remember a future? How would I feel if my future could happen? I get to trade those emotions for different emotions. Well, if I've been practicing feeling these emotions in that condition, my body and me, the mind is going to take some time for me to start making different chemistry with the intention of making that chemistry, getting my body back into homeostasis and balance, work on my breath when I breathe, I change my state, practice breathing, work with your body so it can start to relax so that it feels safe enough to feel something other than that again. And if it takes you three weeks, it would be worth it. Absolutely. So then, person then starts, "Okay, I don't really know how to feel gratitude. Okay, well, maybe start going out and giving to people. I promise you, start giving, start feeling grateful." And then start practicing feeling gratitude. Teach your body. Just for 15 minutes a day, what it would like to feel gratitude, what it would be like. And our data shows that you take someone to do that for four days, three times a day. They make a immunoglobulin, called immunoglobulin A. It's your body's natural flu shot. It's the greatest immunochemical we have. 50% increase in the subjects we studied in four days, immunoglobulin A, up 50% in four days. Where is that chemistry coming from? They're not taking anything. It's coming from within them, right? No supplements, no injections, no topicals. Just their bodies, they're not a nervous system, is manufacturing a far-receive chemicals that's causing an immunity to the body. So now, the person practice feeling gratitude. What is the emotional signature of gratitude? When you receive something, or you just receive something, when something wonderful happened to you or something wonderful is happening to you, you feel grateful. So the emotional signature of gratitude is something just wonderful happened. There's something something is happening to you. But if you're in a state of receivers, you've just received something. So the emotional signature of gratitude is received. If you're in a state of gratitude, it makes total sense. Then you will accept, believe in surrender, the thoughts that are equal to that emotional state. You could actually program your autonomic nervous system to make the pharmacy of chemicals that causes growth and repair it happen in the body. That's exactly what we're discovering. So then, when people understand what they're doing, and they understand why they're doing it, the how it's easier. So you can assign meaning to the task and switch on the prefrontal cortex. And when you switch on that prefrontal cortex, it wants to get an outcome. It doesn't want to mess around. It wants the outcome. You're doing it for the outcome. And that's kind of a strong intention and a change in energy or an emotional state. And that's changing your state of being. And when you change your state of being like that every day, get ready. Because you're going to start having synchronicities and opportunities and coincidences. And weird things start happening in your life to prove to you that you're actually the creator of your life instead of the victim of your life. Absolutely. Gosh, there's so much I want to unpack here. One of them is you mentioned something around 75 to 90% of people go into the doctor's office. And it's based on an emotional imbalance that probably causes or influences them to be there. They might feel physical pain, but it's based on an emotional state that they've been in for a long time. And a host of bad choices, that mean. A lot of it is emotional as a baseline. Exactly correct. You talked about frequency. We talked about emotional signatures. And we talked about identity and personality. When I went to your advanced seven day experience, when I went there, you had an entire, I mean, there'll probably a few hour explanation about frequencies and energies. The highest level frequency where we could be at to allow us to feel more abundant and peaceful and and and have balanced harmony to lower level frequencies that are going to cause us to feel more stress and anger and you know, feel like we're in constant breakdown, right? And the higher the frequency we get to, the more conscious we are, the lower the frequency, the more unconscious we are. Essentially I'm paraphrasing you know, hours of research and size that you teach during this. What is the lowest level of emotion that will keep us stuck in a non receivership, a non abundant mentality and state and a place of pain versus the highest level of emotion that we could be in more frequently that allow us to feel more peace and in harmony in our health, but also in our life. What are those two opposite emotions? Okay. I just want to finish the last thought about physical, chemical, and emotional stress that I want to answer that. So if you're truly interested then in sustaining homeostasis and and balance, then you're going to have to self-regulate. Yes. And and it would be wonderful and we're working. We have this new program called the interhealth coalition because we've had so many doctors, so many researchers, so many healthcare providers come through our events. Many of them feel themselves some all kinds of health conditions from spinal cord injuries to stage four cancers that really just want to really look to see how this model could actually fit in their clinic and there's got to be a different conversation that can happen around health because chronic health conditions are created from a lifestyle. And if you don't change your lifestyle, nothing is going to change because nothing changes in our life until we change. So then if then you would go to a practitioner where you could actually practice brain and heart coherence, which is our formula. Get your brain feeling those elevated emotions at your, sorry, get your heart feeling those elevated emotions and then get your brain coherent and do the exercises to get your brain and body back into regulation and to homeostasis. And then the key elements is not that you react. I mean, who doesn't react? The question is. You're a perfect doctor Joe, you never react, right? The question is how long? How long are you going to do that for? I mean, if you keep it going on, then there must be an addiction because an addiction is something you think you can't stop or knowing something isn't good for you and you do it anyway. That's when you know you're addicted, right? So then get the patient to really work on the emotional states that are keeping them and their body in the past. It's so hard for people I feel like. Yeah, because because up into recently there haven't been a whole lot of scientifically proven formulas or ways to teach people how to do that. People by nature want to get over their emotional state. They just been hypnotized. They've been programmed. They've been conditioned into using something outside of them to take away this feeling inside of them. To numb the pain. Yeah, to. It's nothing wrong with that. Just drag numb. But you could. You know, you could go watch a movie or You know, you can do this, you can do that. You can do all these different things. Go out to dinner, just to make the feeling away, but the problem is, the feeling always comes back. - You're right. - And so now when the person reaches that point where they're saying nothing's making us feel and go away, this is game time. This is where the person's responding to texts any longer. That I want to go to dinner with the same people. They don't want to do the same things. They don't watch the same TV show. They want to get on the computer longer. This feeling is disturbing. Nothing's making it no drug, no shopping spree, no sports car, no nothing's making this feeling go away. This is a key moment, right? Because now the person's going to start to realize that no one or nothing in their life is going to make this feeling go away but then. - Right. - And this is the key moment. This is where the person really decides to change. This is the, because they can see themselves for the first time because they no longer feel like themselves. They're no longer distracted by that. They can see how they think. They can notice how they've been acting and decide, oh my God, I don't want to do that anymore. The choices they've made or the experiences they just want to no longer do. And the feelings that they no longer want to feel, right? And they start breaking their emotional agreements with everybody and everything in their life. And people really get worried because they're no longer predictable. They're not showing up as the memory of themselves, right? So what do you do? You medicate them, the person's depressed, you know, their midlife crisis. But really, it's the soul saying, there's a future. And you may not know what it is, but you can't go back to that. You just can't go back any longer. You can't, you already know, you can predict everything that's gonna happen. You gotta start saying no, where you gotta start looking deeper, you gotta start changing. And this is where it's so important for people then to understand that this is not a bad thing. This is actually a good thing. It just doesn't feel good any longer because you're ready to change, right? So this is what we should be naturally doing. So when the person says, oh my God, I wanna feel something else in my life than this. Okay, I'm gonna watch how I respond to my coworker. I'm gonna rewatch how I respond to my own thoughts. When did I default today and return back to the old self? And they get really serious about looking closely at how they can change the way they think, act and feel. And we have so many testimonials of people that were diagnosed with chronic health conditions. And they got themselves in their meditations back into elevated emotional states and changed their energy and changed their frequency. We get to that. But then they get up from their meditation and they spend the next 15 hours in fear and frustration. - Why is that though? - Because they were unconscious, they defaulted. So you got to get so good at doing it with your eyes closed. You got to start doing it with your eyes open. - Oh man. - And that's the big game. - That's the game. - That is the game. That is the game, right? 'Cause this is the plane of demonstration. You got to demonstrate. So you got to, you got to start, that's why the walking meditations are so important and I'll work 'cause you got to walk as it. If you're gonna be relaxed in your heart and awake in your brain, you better do it with your eyes open. So let's practice with our eyes open. - With girls. - And the way to do it, are you wanna get so good at it that you can do it in the most adverse situations. That's you know when you own it, right? So then the person then realized that she had to watch her response to her ex. She had to watch her response to her bank account. She had to watch her response to the news. All of those things, she didn't, no drug, no surgery, no chemo, no radiation, no diet, no supplements were taking her health condition away. And so she realized I had a change, right? So now she, she noticed doing her meditations or pain levels went down. She knew she was sleeping better. She knew she had more energy, but her values for that health condition were still the same. And she said, "It's not that this doesn't work." She wasn't doing her meditations any longer to heal. She was doing her meditations to change. - Mm, and so then she'd say, "Okay, what do I wanna believe today? What thought do I wanna fire and why are my brain?" And we remember it. I gotta keep remembering it so I don't forget to think this way. And a belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again. So she wanted her hard, why are that in a brain? She wanted that to be a new voice in her head. Because thoughts that wire together. - Fire together, wire together, right? So then how am I gonna behave? Closing your eyes and rehearsing. How you're gonna be with your acts? And the little things, there's gotta be another way to be, I can't respond the way I have respond. It's only weakening me. I gotta change my state, okay. I'm gonna be loving. I'm gonna be rehearsing it. Mental rehearsal. When you keep doing it, rehearsing yourself in the scene, planning your behaviors, your brain will look like you already did it. And if you keep doing it, it's gonna become more automatic. It's gonna become like a software program. So the brain looks like the experiences already happened. And now you have hardware and software in place to use when you're with your acts. Because you installed it, right? So now you're doing the meditation to remind yourself who you no longer wanna be and remind yourself who you do wanna be. So now, okay, the person's now behaves that way and now her response to her acts is different evolution that day. And the body's no longer brought back to the past. And she does it once and she wants to do it again. She wants to get better at it and she starts healing. And she says, "I gotta stay in this emotion state. "I don't care who it is or what it is. "Let me close my eyes. "I'm gonna feel this emotion 100 times if I have to. "Just so that I can feel it. "So many times that I can bring it up whenever I want. "Now they're becoming familiar with a new state of being, right? "And when you feel the emotion of your future "before it happens, you'll always believe in that future." - Wow. - And if you feel the emotion that keeps you connecting in your past, you'll believe in your past. And that's just the way it is. And then you return back to the same self, your same biology, thinking the same thoughts, making the same choices, doing the same things, creating the same experiences, feeling the same emotions. In your biology, your neurosurgery, your neurochemistry, your hormones, your gene expression all stays the same because you just return back to the same. Okay, so we said seven days, taking group of people is what I said to the scientist at University of California, San Diego. Seven days. The biology stays the same this and they all agree. I said, "Give people new information, "combine quantum physics with neuroscience, "with neuroendocrinology, with psychonuron immunology, "with epigenetics, with electromagnetism, "build models of understanding, "get people to learn new information, "they're gonna have new thoughts." Now give them the instructions so they can make a new choice. They can do a new thing. They can create a new experience, so they can feel a new emotion, will their biology change in seven days. Low and behold, they changed way greater than we ever expected. Novos meditators. People who never came to a week-long event, never really meditated that much. The Novos meditators. Seven days, their biology at the end of seven days looked like they were living in a whole new life. And it wasn't 20% or 10%, it was the majority of the collective. Now, all of those people have different genomes, different genotypes, and they're all different cultures, different races, different ages. But when we look at the biology of gene expression, they're signaling the same genes. They're making the same proteins, the collective, the herd, the flock, the school of fish, the biology, there's an emergent biology that's changing collectively. The probability of that happening is insanely minimal. Let me just say that. So then, think differently, make a different choice, do a different thing, create no experience, feel no emotion, keep doing that your biology will change. And that's exactly how people heal. So the emotions that keep us, I would say, in our more limited animal, a million human state, have everything to do with anger and aggression, fear and anxiety and suffering and pain and guilt and shame and, you know, our. - Was that man's name? - You said me, all of those, those are. You think of, think as energy as emotion. So those emotions should ultimately be retired as wisdom, because the memory without the emotional charge is wisdom, and now the game is over, and you're ready for a new experience, and you can't go to the future, holding on to the emotion of the past, right? So you've gotta overcome that emotional state. So then, you start feeling gratitude, you start feeling more gratitude, you start feeling love, you start feeling more love, you start feeling kind, you start feeling care, you start feeling appreciation, you start feeling creative, you start feeling inspired, you're practicing feeling those emotions, and you get that heart of yours back into balance, we discovered that one's energy makes it to the heart, it's going right to the brain, and it's gonna go straight up, and it's gonna tell the brain in that moment, the heart is the creative center, it's safe to create. And the person moves out of survival, and the brain, like grabbing a big sheet, and going like that, creates a wave of energy right to the brain, coherent energy of the brain, and the brain goes into a creative alpha state, and the brain is getting information, the heart is informing the brain, think of something, think of the new possibility, it's a creative state, and the person starts seeing pictures and images. Well, keep sustaining, that relaxed in your heart, awaken your brain. We see a CEO, long people can hang with that. We got the brain and heart hooked up together, and then here it comes. You start seeing resonance taking place, there's waves, riding waves, and faster waves building on waves, so delta, the base is carrying theta, but it's a harmonic, and theta is carrying alpha, and alpha is carrying beta, beta is carrying a high beta, and high beta is going in the gamma, and no one that occurs, the person is feeling ecstasy. [BLANK_AUDIO] There's an arousal, an arousal taking place in the nervous system, but the arousal isn't fear. It's not fear. It's not fear. It's not anger. It's not pain. That's typically what creates an arousal. The arousal is ecstasy. So the person is feeling wholeness. They're feeling connected. They're feeling aware. They're super conscious. The brain is no longer in discoherence. The brain is in resonance. There's waves carrying waves. There's harmonics. They're in order with, in order there's patterns within patterns nested observer windows. The brain is functioning mathematically. And so you see that happening. And you ask the person from their subjective experience, how did that feel? They say, I felt so whole. I felt such bliss. I felt such connection. I felt such pure love. I no longer wanted anything. I no longer want it. It's impossible to want when you're in that state. No desire is for something. Because there's no you're in wholeness. It's the exact opposite. And that's the place to create from. Not from lack. Because lack means I'm going to wait for that thing to happen out there to take away the lack or separation from not having. Right? This is like your body's believing it's already in that future. And that's exactly what we discovered at the end of seven days. People moving to that state and they're making thousands of metabolites. Information is in their blood. At the end of seven days that wasn't there before. And they're not taking any exogenous substance. They're not changing their diet. It's coming from within them. So then the person who starts feeling wholeness, it gets very difficult to describe those emotions. It's inevitable. I mean, we ask people what was it? And they just they're just well up in tears and they say, I don't know. It's the most familiar unfamiliar feeling. I've ever had like I'm remembering what I forgot. Like I forgot that I'm this. I am pure love. I am. I am this. And I think when we have those experiences, at least when I've had those experiences, I think the takeaway is that it didn't come from out there, from anyone or anything. It came from within me. And I think that's the real fundamental moment where people stop looking outside of them. It's always been within them. And that relationship that they develop, okay? Yeah. We all take hard knocks during our lives. And we all have stressors in our life. We're all trying to do as much as we can, you know, walk the tight rope. But the person who every single day says, I'm not going to get up from my meditation until I absolutely feel like I'm that person. Man, it's a very different game because people say, why do you do your meditations in the morning? I say, because if I can overcome me, the rest of my day is easy. Right. I mean, I can overcome anybody. Right? So how long you going to sit with you? Things on our week-long events, you know? I'm on the stage watching the whole thing by the fourth day or so. First day, everybody's all over the place. Fourth day or so, everybody's like this. They're just sitting right there, they're paying complete attention, I say to them. When have you sat with yourself this long where you actually like yourself? They're all completely present. Completely present. Their mind is not wandering anywhere because they've practiced for the last four days to catch that thought of the worst case scenario and bring it back. That's a victory. That's a victory. That's not you didn't do your meditation well. Catching yourself going unconscious and becoming conscious and disinvesting your attention energy out of that predictable future back into the present moment is executing a will that's greater than that program. And that is a victory. That's not what you didn't meditate. You're actually doing it right. Then all of a sudden, your mind defaults at a wanders to some past memory of a person or a thing or circumstance. You start feeling that emotion and all of a sudden you start getting frustrated or impatient and instead of getting up and saying, "I can't meditate," you notice that you're siphoning energy out of the present moment into the past. You settle your body out of back down, out of frustration and you move back into the present moment. That's a victory. When you're telling the body, it's no longer the mind that I'm the mind. When I do your meditation wrong, you're actually doing it right. You're conditioning the body to a new mind. Keep doing that over and over again. David starts getting a hand on Goliath. And it's uncomfortable and it's tedious and it takes energy and it takes awareness and you've got to hang in there. The hardest part of every war is the last battle. Just when you think you're done, you've got to go a little further. If I take people past that point and there's a collective group of people and they say, "I can't go any further." They go a little further because the person next to them is a sweet little woman in her 70s and they're in 30 and buffed. I can't go. She's not gone. I'm not gone. And they go a little further. That's when the brain changes the most. Because they just broke out out of the known into the unknown and nothing dangerous happened. Nothing scary happened. There was no threat. There was no danger and people start relaxing more into the unknown. Turns out that's the perfect place to create from. So the side effect of these higher states of consciousness, these greater frequencies are energies. Is the outcome really of managing our attention and energy and inhibiting the thoughts that produce those hormones and those feelings and no longer driving the body into a lower denominator. Sooner or later you keep doing that, energy moves only in one direction and it moves up. And it moves into the heart and once it makes it into the heart, it's going right to the brain. And the person all of a sudden starts feeling relaxed and awake instead of stressed out, unconscious and in a program. And so the idea then is to be able to get very good at doing that with your eyes open. So the practice of doing that in your daily life then is then living in a different state of being independent of what's going on in your outer world, thinking differently, acting differently and feeling differently in the same reality until it changes. Right. Because most of us, it seems like are awake but unconscious. And what I'm here to say is we've got to practice having our eyes open and being conscious at the same time. Exactly. That's all purpose of doing the work. There's how many you're doing the work so you don't default. Uh-huh. The default is automatic. It's so quick. You have one straight thought, one response and then you just lost your state of being. And if you blame someone and you say it's that person or that circumstance, I'm going to say to you, uh-oh, you're back to that unconscious program of being a victim, thinking to that person or that circumstance is controlling how you feel and how you think you're a consequence of that. And now sooner or later, how many times do you have to forget until you stop forgetting and start remembering? That's the moment of change. And breaking a habit is one thing. But breaking a habit of being yourself isn't the thing. Well, here's the thing. Okay, I would unpack this for a second. For someone watching or listening who's thinking, okay, Dr. Joe, I'm sure you've had some challenges in your life. But you don't have the type of challenges I have. You don't have the childhood trauma that I faced. You don't have the parents who were just, you know, detached and didn't show love to me. You don't have the bullying that I went through. You don't have the financial burden that I'm faced with right now and have been in debt for most of my life. You don't have the constant heartbreak I felt from all these different relationships. I'm sure you've had some challenges, but I've really suffered. I've really gone through so much pain that I don't even believe I'm deserving of being healthy and well because all of my evidence from the past is showing that I'm unlovable, that people are abandon me, abuse me and the world is against me. How do you get people to understand that they are deserving of health and this, you know, state of love and gratitude when they continue to convince themselves about the past and cannot see or believe enough future greater than their past? I'd ask them how long you want to tell that story. Like, I mean, how long you want to tell a story because you believe as if it's the truth, you behave as if it's the truth and you've ultimately become it. That's the end of that person's emotional belief. I just want them to tell a different story. In fact, you can't tell me any longer that you've had a brutal past and you can't do this work, you can't tell me that. We've had some people with some really brutal pasts, really, really difficult pasts and we're talking about abuse, molestation, trauma, murder, veterans, Navy SEALs, people who have sweat and seen really horrible things and had really horrible moments and they had all kinds of health conditions. The trauma wasn't just in their brain, the trauma was in their body because it was the emotion that kept them in the past, right? And they couldn't, couldn't get past that emotion. They tried everything on the plant medicine, all the, you know, all the diets, everything they just couldn't get past it. They just didn't know how to do it. The memory, they couldn't get past the memory. They just didn't understand why they were there and what to do to help them to get out, right? So many of these people that had brutal pasts, also had really difficult health challenges. They had, and they were metriosis, they had depression, they had nitera, suicidal tendencies, blackouts, vertigo, all kinds of crazy things. And they did the work because nothing else was working and many of them came to the point where they did their meditation. Every single day, every day they never missed a day because nothing else was working. They believed that this could work. They just didn't believe it could work for them. So they were doing their meditations to actually believe. They had to change their emotional state and they reached a point and typically when they come to the weaklings because I stretch people a little further. They were already feeling a little better. They were already doing better. But they reached a point where they just thought, "Oh my God, this is the worst feeling I've ever had in my life. I don't think I'd go any further." And then they think, "Oh my God, I've never missed a day in my meditations. I can't give up on me now." And they go one more time. And the words that we hear over and over again is always the same. It's like my heart blew wide open. It's like my heart exploded. It's like my heart opened up all the way. I felt something move through my heart and I felt more love than I felt my entire life. And they looked back at their entire past and they don't want to change one thing in their past because the feeling that they had, they realized that they had to go through all of that to get to the present moment. And that's the moment the past no longer exists. And they look at their betrayers. They look at their molesters. They look at the tyrants and they have nothing but compassion and love without. And the relationship changes with those people. And the moment the heart blows open, the body literally comes out of the past because when an energy makes it to the heart, it resets the baseline. And the brain and the autonomic nervous system for trauma. It says it's over. And the body literally moves out of the past and the side effect of that. There goes the depression. There goes the endometriosis. That's right. There goes the dieterrs. And the person would, they don't want to change anything in their past. They'll tell you, no, no, no, no, no. This all had to happen for me to change. So many people with diseases will say, I just didn't know it. I would have never changed. Unless I had this health condition, I would have never changed. This was the push from you to change. And they would say, I was too sick to do their meditation in the beginning, but you know what? They were days. They felt really bad. And they could have said, I don't feel like doing my meditation today, but guess what? They did it anyway. And they overcame their body a little bit more that day. And there were days they had a lot of self-doubt because their condition was getting worse and their family was worried about them. And they could have said, this is too much. I have too much doubt. I'm not, I can't do this. Guess what? They did it anyway. And they overcame their doubt a little bit more. And there were days where they had a lot of fear because they were given the voodoo curse that they had six months to live or a year to live. And because I have too much fear today, I can't do my meditation, but they did it anyway. Instead of surrendering the fear they surrendered to love, and it was the overcoming process. That was the becoming process. That is the unlearning process. And if 95% is how we're hardwired in terms of attitudes, beliefs and perceptions, how we're habituated in terms of behaviors and actions and how we're conditioned to our emotional responses, then there's going to take a lot of work into the overcoming process because you've got to get so conscious that you don't go unconscious again. And you as a process of going unconscious to the point where you no longer go unconscious and you stay conscious. You ask that person, where is the disease now? Where is it now? They'll tell you it's in the old person. It's the old guy. It's that person, settled person. It's not me. I'm not that victim anymore. I'm not that person anymore. And again, they were doing their meditations to change. They were doing their meditations three times a day, not because they wanted their meditations to heal them. They just defaulted back to the old self and they started disbelieving again. So they were doing their meditations every day to believe. And they would not get up until they felt the feeling of that future because they knew consciously if I could feel this emotion of signaling genes ahead of the environment. And I'm going to keep feeling is feeling with the intention of signaling the gene. And that was their intention. Of course, they started producing a greater outcome. So they were doing their meditations to strengthen their belief three times a day because they lost their belief. Now you can't say to me, you're too out of shape or you're too in shape or you're too unhealthy or too old or you're too young. You saw, we have people that are 12 years old or 10 years old that come to our comments. 10 years. We have hundreds of kids that come on the age of 25, you know, a huge youth community. We have people that are in their 90s and their 80s. They have elegant brain scans. They have beautiful heart coherence. You can't tell we are too old to do it. You can't tell we are too young. You can't tell we are too sick. You can't tell me you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're you're out of shape. You can't say any of those things any longer. I mean no one's so special to be excluded from this process. And again, I think one of the things I'm I'm just a part of the time here, but one of the things that people need is knowledge and information. I mean, the data that we have in our scientific research just tells us that we're greater than we think, more powerful than we know, more unlimited than we could ever dream. The testimonials of people standing on the stage, you've seen them. With stage four cancers that spread to their bones, to their liver, to their lungs, to their pelvic organs, they can't walk. They were so much pain, the drug trial, no chemo and irradiation of surgery was changing or diet was changing them. And now they're up there with no evidence of cancer. You hear that story. It's the four minute mile. Yeah. Evidences, the loudest voice. Yes. And when you see a person that doesn't look vegan, doesn't look young, doesn't look buffed, that had people steal money from them, that they lost everything. They slit their wrists. They have horrible but bankrupt. They're worth millions now and they're living a happy wife and they've got a great relationship and their health conditions all better. You got to scratch your head and you got to look and you got to say, "Well, if that person can do it, hmm. I think I can do it." Then there's number two and then there's number three and then there's number four and then there's thousands and thousands. Now we had seven people step out of wheelchairs in our last event in Denver. I couldn't believe it. With spinal cord injuries, with brain tumors, with head trauma, with mysteineagrabis, with MS, with ALS. I mean, I mean, it's crazy. It just takes one and then collective consciousness. Now it's possible, right? It's fascinating. When I was at your event and we did the coherence healing towards the end, obviously, once we practice more of the meditations and understood the science and understood the research and you really dive in on it and did the 3am, 5, 6 hour meditations and all these different things we did, it's a beautiful thing to witness serving others who need healing with your consciousness collectively. It's an incredible thing to witness and to feel the energy. Now it's not a false fake energy. You're feeling like you're healing yourself as you're intending consciously to heal someone else. Yeah, which is that happens. We just had somebody just on the stage just that had tried jamming on the rails. It's a severe facial pain. She got on the stage and she said, "I wanted someone to cut my head off." Oh, man. That's how bad the pain was. I could never get away from it. She said, "During that coherence healing, my heart blew wide open. I felt so much love." She said, "I have no pain in my face. I've done every therapy. I've done every drug. I've taken everything. Every narcotic, everything. It's never changed. I have no pain." Like that is the tiniest change in the world. This is crazy. So when you see, I know this is insane. We've had more than one person that had vision problems all of a sudden start to see. We've had more than one person with hearing problems start to hear just happen recently. It's not uncommon for people we had a guy that lost his speech. He couldn't talk. He's talking now. He's a happy guy. I've seen people at Parkinson's disease with bilateral breast cancer. I've seen spinal cord injuries. I've seen all kinds of different health conditions. In one or two or three coherence healing, how it completely changed. It's a really cool thing because people are never being touched. They're just listening. Changing information in the field. It's not matter that's creating the field. It's the field that's creating matter. So if you change the information in the field, could you change the hologram in three-dimensional reality and that's exactly what we teach? Oh my gosh. That's exactly what we start to see if tumors, the illusion, it's the hologram, it's the information in the field. If you change the information in the field, can you change the destiny of matter? When people start to understand it and they can piece it together and they've been practicing all week overcoming themselves, they can do that. If they practice all week opening their heart, they practice all week, bringing heart coherence. Now it's time to put it all together. But now this time, it's not about you. That's someone's mother down there. That's someone's best friend, that's someone's kid. That's someone's cousin, that's someone's uncle, that's somebody. And I just ask them to actually show up and be the healer that they would want to be healed by. It's beautiful, it's really cool. I mean, you're just in the last 30 seconds using vocabulary and language and explaining things. Some people might say, "What is this quantum field in 3D and hologram?" That's kind of the tip of the iceberg for what you go into for these seven days. And one of your quotes that I love is the quantum field response. not to what we want, it responds to who we are being. And when you or I am wanting to serve someone with so much love, when I fill my heart up and have brain, hardcore hearings with love and gratitude, healing vibration, and I spread that energy onto someone else, whether it's a stranger or someone I love, and they are in alignment with that. There is a vibration between the two of you. - Is it getting changed? - Just thinking about it now. There's a vibration used to a waving of a sheet that connects in the middle and the center is this power of love that is healing. - Yeah. - And it is a beautiful thing. And one of the things I wanted to ask you about this, this frequency, this emotion, this love, is is it possible to heal ourselves with our thoughts and with meditation alone? And is it possible to heal another with our thoughts, our love, our heart coherency alone, even if they don't respond to it and they're not doing it themselves? Is it possible to influence without them doing the work? - Yeah. That's a really great question. Gosh, I think my belief in what's possible has changed dramatically in the last two years. I'm not the same person because of the things that I've witnessed. I mean, I saw a person with muscular dystrophy that was in a wheelchair for 12 years, young guy. If you study muscular dystrophy, there's no cure. - No coming back. - There's no coming back. And I think it's all this video. - Yeah, they let him up and he was out of his wheelchair. He's walking around in his life now. I mean, I can't go back to business as usual. I watched that video a hundred times. I just don't wanna forget what's possible. What was on it? Being interviewed for a documentary and the interviewer, unbeknownst to me, I didn't know anything about it. It said, "What about the woman in your work "that grew her thyroid back?" And I was like, "What? "What are you talking about?" She said, "Yeah, she grew her thyroid back." I'm like, "What?" I didn't know anything about it. I'm like, "No." Like, she's like, "Yeah, yeah." She, "We have the medical records and everything." And this woman grew her thyroid. - Wow. - Like, it stretched me. And so, okay. There's a lot that has to happen for us to make this journey. You get diagnosed with a health condition and it's a terminal health condition or chronic health condition. And you're compromised in some way and you're reliant on something to get you back in the health and balance. And that's what the conventional model is. And but if it isn't working, you guys started looking. Some people just, they shrink into mediocracy and they stay there. - Yes. - A people are bothered by it and they're not bothered by the transverse. Okay, so the person starts looking for answers. We had some lady that someone, Amazon accidentally meld, accidentally meld my book, "You Are the Placebo" to her house. And she didn't order it. And she just put it on her coffee table. And she had Parkinson's disease. And finally, after like three months, she picked up the book and she saw the brain scans and Parkinson's disease. She just started doing the meditations. She came to the week long, which she completely healed of Parkinson's. She was on the stage selling the story. And it was crazy. So now the person heals herself, okay? As an example. Now, a person who heals themselves, I've seen green berets, I've seen navy seals with a lot of physical and emotional health conditions really heal. The only thing they want to do is they want to give, they want to bring it to their people, they want to bring it to their tribe, they want to bring it to the people they love. And then the really, the intention is, I want to heal somebody else, right? And so you're healed, the next thing is you want to heal somebody else. - That's the way it is. - So now what your model has to change. If I heal myself and I've actually changed my energy, can I kind of heal another person? And that's exactly what we do. We say, okay, now that you can change your health, can you change another's health? Let's build a model of understanding. And let's do that. And we did the model of understanding. Well, suddenly people stepping out of wheelchairs, left and right, and people blind people seeing and crazy things going on, a lot of remissions of diseases. I'm more surprised about that than anybody. COVID happens and then we're like, "Hmm, can we actually, if we're in the quantum field, "and there's no separation there, can we just hit a target? "We just give us a picture, coordinate." And we have remote co-earance healers. - Yeah, it's fascinating. - And these people, do it, listen, they do it every day. - They're machines. - They do it, they never miss a day. They would never miss a day. And the reason they never miss a day is because they get so much out of it. And then I'm doing it to-- - They're not trying to heal another. - They're not trying to heal another. - They're actually healing another. That is not even, that they're doing it now. - They don't even know, and they're not even in the same room. They're spread across the world. - It's crazy. - And they're hitting a target. They're hitting a target. - They see an image and they visualize. - Nages are target. - They go to the fields and they hold that person in their heart and they just, and they change their energy. So then the model builds more now. Now, can you heal it or location? The answer is absolutely yes. In fact, our studies with UC San Diego is insane. I said to the scientists, when in your life, did you think you would be sitting, talking about the effects of remote coherence healings that are working as well as drugs? When better than drugs actually, when have you ever thought you'd be talking about this? So our data suggests that it's real, right? We did a triple blind placebo study. And there's absolutely no doubt that these people are causing some profound effects. We just published another paper about the mathematical synchronization of the heart of groups of people that select as they get together, how they synchronize. We published paper, it's mathematical, it's real, it's a lot of science, but there's some effect that's happening in the people's hearts that are feeling the same amount of love. They're training to a similar resonance, a similar frequency. So now, they did an amazing, amazing study, preliminary study on autistic children. Now I'm telling you this because I want you to know that this isn't conjecture, this is reality. Boys, young boys, between the ages I think of six and 12. And these are problematic kids. They've done the physical therapy, the occupational therapy, the speech therapy, the inhibition therapy, the talk therapy. They've tried the nutrients, the vitamins, they tried everything and then they're not responding to haven't changed much. They're headbangers, they're incontinent, they don't sleep, they're obsessive, they have outbursts, they have no sociability, they have no gross and fine motor skills, or language is compromised. Now, we decided instead of doing scientific analysis, we decided to have the best scientists to take a look at their kids and that's the parents. Right, so we did. We did. Parents know every single thing about that kid 'cause they have all their attention. Every habit, they know every behavior, in every obsession. Six weeks, two times a week. These kids at the end of six weeks, speaking in complete sentences. Sleeping through the night, taking naps, walking themselves to school, using the toilet, no longer defecating or urinating in their bed. Hugging their parents when they come home, asking for what they want, jumping on the trampoline, in school place, and it's insane. The parents are overjoyed. Their lives have changed dramatically because their kid is somehow changed or smiling, the more engaging, right? They're not even in the room and they're producing as effects. So back to your question. This is an evolution. If you're, you never know what you think and differently until you have a new experience. A new experience causes you to think of possibilities you would never thought of before. And there is an infinity, there's an infinity. Because you and I are making known, unknown possibilities by having a new experience and we start thinking of other ways. And that's consciousness and it's never an end process of self discovery. They answer the question, who am I, right? So then what we discovered is that in our data collection, that people that are the most desperate tend to be the less likely to respond because they're waiting further healing to feel gratitude. They haven't realized that when they feel gratitude, they're healing begins, right? So that's not a problem. We just have to work with them to get them out of that state. And that's what I do when everybody's getting ready. I work with the healies. We noticed that people who actually are in the river of change, they are actually working on changing something about themselves, they receive that energy better. We noticed that when people are grateful, super grateful to be there, that energy just hits them really big. So, but we also see that people that don't do the work that are just its their moment, you know, it's just their moment. It's just their moment and they get lit up. And I've seen bodies contoured, twist and convulsed and turned red and shake. I mean, I've seen grown men scream at the top of their lungs. That guy that lost his voice for two years, that was ready to take his life. - Wow. - He had one moment. He never was touched. The moment people walked in the room and he said, "I felt this ball of energy right on my heart." This guy, my throat, this guy's not a wells and space woo-woo guy. He's a businessman. He was just ready. - To the moment. - And his moment. And then that, I heard him yelling so loud 'cause the energy was so intense and he was coming up off the ground. I was watching him. Then he'd fall back down and come up Again, nobody was touching him. They were all with their eyes closed like they had no idea what was going on. 80% of his voice came back after that first intervention. After the coherence healing. Yet it's on the stage tells a story. Of course, what do you think is going to happen to the energy in the room? People are just going to go more in, right? Now their belief is just elevated. The person that stands on the stage that no longer has a stage for cancer. They tell their story. They're no longer in the wheelchair. They're in the wheelchair for seven years. You shake your hand and you're like, "I don't want people to forget that. I don't want them to go back to business as usual. I want them once you know you can't not know." Absolutely. You've got to keep it so much easier to forget this information than to remember it because it goes against the program. It's so easy to forget if you're not practicing consistently. One of the things that I've been doing for the last year since I went to the advanced retreat was almost every morning. Either in the morning or at night, I'm putting out one of your meditations. Even if I only feel like I have limited time, I'll at least put on a 10 minute morning or evening meditation. I think the one you did eight years ago or something, right? There's so many new ones that Martha is always putting on. We did wear in the sauna three nights ago and she put a 30 minute meditation on in the sauna. I love it in emotion. It was like a whole another level of, "I'm in pain, but how do we not feel the pain? How do we get into it?" Something to do with something to do. It's 200 degrees and I was like, "Okay, Dr. Joe is speaking to me right now, but the consistency of it has allowed me to continue to feel peace, gratitude, and love in my heart. Doesn't mean I don't have breakdowns or frustrations or things that I have to deal with." I notice when I do it less consistently, if there's times where I do it less and I react to things more, I feel more stuck. I feel more physical pain trapped inside of me. Because you know the difference between you were living in a whole different state, you go back to the state and you can notice the difference. Yes, 100%. You said it towards the beginning, like once you know you never want to go back. You just want to keep staying in this beautiful, elevated state of emotional peace, harmony, coherence with thinking and feeling and it's incredible feeling. I know people are probably taking a ton of notes and there's so much they want to take action on. You have a walk that's happening soon called WalkForThe.world. We're going to link all this up. I want to link up the research paper. I want to get people your meditations because this is something I practice almost daily. I want to get people your books. We're going to link all these things up. And can you tell us before we wrap up what this walk around the world is, how people can get involved and also if they can only do a couple of things each day, what can they do on a daily basis as a habit to help them improve their health and also what can we do with WalkForThe.world? Yeah, okay. So I'll ask the first question. Three types of stress, physical, cavalome, emotional, three types of balance, physical, chemical, and emotional. Get two out of those three in order. Third one typically comes around. Get more emotionally balanced, more physically balanced, get more chemically balanced. Get more chemically balanced, more emotionally balanced, get more physically balanced, right? But you have to do an inventory every day. You have to ask yourself before you start your day, what do I want to bring to the world to them? Who would I want to become? Let me become that person. Let me disconnect from my outer world. Let me close my eyes. Make me play some music, fill the space. Let me not eat anything, smell anything, taste anything. Let me not move around. It's experienced anything, it feel anything. Let me make my inner world more real than my outer world. Let me remind myself of that 95% the way I think, the way I act, the way I feel. Let me just get so conscious of those thoughts that I can. I'll start tomorrow. It's too late. It's her fault. It's his fault. I don't want something wrong with me. Get really aware of how I speak, how I act. So I complained. Why blame them make excuses like they'll starve for myself. What emotions are my primary emotions? What's my default? Anxiety is it fear is it self-pity is it unworthiness? What is this? This is getting real about it. Okay. Great day. A great day would be not going there the whole day. And if I catch myself, I'm going to catch myself and I'm not going to say I failed because that's a program. I'm going to say I caught myself. Okay. I'm going to change it now. Let me remind myself of the thoughts I do want to think. Let me remember them so I don't forget them. Let me rehearse my behaviors in my mind so I can do it when I have the opportunity. I want to shot at this. I want to evolve my life. I want to evolve my experience. And how am I going to feel today that I want to feel this feeling of keep bringing it up until I can't forget it. And then don't get up. Do not get up until you feel that way. If it takes you an hour, it'd be worth it. And when it's the hardest, it matters the most. Yes. So that's a simple thing to do that anybody can do. But it's the experiment. The experiment is in like I'm doing good or I did it right or I succeeded or God loves me or none of that. But what's doing it to see the experiment is if I change the way I think, if I change the way I act, if I change the way I feel, well, my life changed. The answer should be yes. Because if you're choosing to evolve your experience, your life should change. And that personality is how you think, how you act and how you feel. And that personality is intimately connected to your personality. Oh my gosh. And if you're not going to change your personality, you're not going to change your personality. Most people try to create a new personality. Has the same personality. Right. It doesn't work. It's a simple, practical thing. People say to me all the time, I have this health goal. I have this wealth goal. And I say to them, that health goal and that wealth goal, you're going to have to go from this person to that person. You will never get to that goal until you change. You cannot. And when you make it about change, watch out. Because the hardest part about change is not making the typical choice that you always make. And that's the process of discomfort. And you just got to be good at being uncomfortable. Yes. You got to be so good at being uncomfortable that you can sit there and actually regulate and change that really horrible state into something else. Absolutely. And so then if you keep doing that, your life should change. I mean, that's the way it should be. It's a constant practice. It's a constant practice of being awake. I don't remember. And remember when you're awake. And remembering the future. I think I told you my friend Humble the Poet has a tattoo right here. It says, "Remember the future after one of our first interviews." You got that. It constantly reminds him to not think about the past and the pain and the worry of the frustration from something that happened, but to remember his potential and step into that now. Walk for the dot world. What is this and how can we get involved? Well, gosh, I don't know about you, but I think I know you well enough. Just how the world just seems really different these days. And I think that the world needs a change. And I think there's an energy that you and I have when we make up our mind to change, there's an energy. And when you make up your mind to change, you combine a clear intention with an elevated emotion, that's a powerful signature of energy in the field. And that's the moment your body starts responding to your mind and you're giving your body of the taste of the future emotionally and you're changing your state of being. Keep that up in your life changes, right? Nothing changes until you change. Change your energy. Okay, the world can change without you. The world can change without me. The world can change without anybody. And we get enough people to change. You could actually change the world. So what if you had thousands of people from we have 152 different countries registered right now for this walk for the world on September 23rd? What if they'll have to be, you don't have to do this work. You have never done walking meditation before. You show up. And you're going to have to leave something behind of something that you want to see in the world, then you're going to have to walk as that. Wow. And you have to walk as that. Not only just for the walking meditation. At the end of that walk, it just begins because you got to be able to walk out into your life and show people what love does. You got to show them what greatness looks like. You got to show them what nobility and character is. You got to have an uncompromising will. You got to be able to face adversity and be able to be relaxed in your heart and awaken your brain and completely disagree and be unantimidated by it. I mean, that's the new consciousness. And so there is an energy of change. And with that energy of change comes a new consciousness. You get enough people together moving into a new state of being and conscious of a change in the world in some way. Thousands of people were at 50,000 people right now. And we have 2,000 plus groups, 2100 groups organized around the world to do this walk. And so I know be one of many that we do, but it is a walk through the world. And we have to show up as that, whatever we want to see as change in the world. So it'll be September 23rd. We'll have the meditation available. You can go to the website and register. We recommend the register and we'll send you the meditation. It'll be a big day. We're partnering with some organizations. And even if we just change the trajectory just 2 degrees from that cliff we're headed off, we've got a little bit more time. We do it again. We're moving further away. And I think that collective networks of observatory-termin reality and the coming of a new consciousness, this emergent consciousness is not one person. It's collective. 100%. And we got an emergent consciousness, the flock of birds, the school of fish. There's no leader. Everybody's leading. Everybody's behaving the same way. And the appearance of that collective group of organisms gives the appearance of a larger organism and this power in numbers. And so our ideas to peacefully make a difference in the world in some way and to practice being that change we want to see and get caught up in the energy of it so that at the end of that walk you feel like there's hope again. Absolutely. The world needs some hope. Big time. Dr. Joe, I'm going to link all this up, walk for the.world. Like, you need to walk at walk for the world, but run to the website for your advanced retreat because it is, if you can get there and then you can go all in, which you saw me there. I was all in. Dude, you were all in. I was like, first one, like, let's go, whatever you're telling me to do, I'm all in, I'm doing the crazy scream, whatever it is, I'm in it. But the great thing about you is that we discovered that if you go all in, you're going to change. We know that for a fact. That means just show up and you're only as good as your last meditation and then you let it go and you go again. And that's it, you keep going. You got to keep being consistent, but me and Martha did it. We loved it. I recommend a bunch of people to go since then they've loved it. Once they finally got in. Go there. If you get a chance, download your meditations. You've got a ton of meditations on your website. I listen to the morning and evening routine. If you feel like, "Ah, I want to go to long-right away." Just there are 10 minutes, 15 minutes each. Yeah, we have 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 30 minutes. You got so many long ones. A lot of work. We got hours. But you can just get started with a 10 minute meditation. And the morning and evening, I think I recommend everyone to get started with. For what we talked about morning and evening is really practical. But I really feel like knowledge is the precursor to experience. So, it's important to understand what we're doing and why we're doing so the how it's easier. So, gaining information about it helps the meditation be more meaningful. Absolutely. You go in and you get it and you don't really understand. Read something that just helps you to remove conjecture, stout, superstition, dogma. I don't like any of that stuff. So, get a little bit of little information to help you understand what you're doing. Go through more information. You've got a ton of the research papers up on your website as well. We'll have that linked up. And if you guys, leave a comment on the biggest takeaway from today's episode. I know there's going to be tons of notes and comments. But the biggest takeaway for you, what resonated, what stood out, share this with a friend you think would help them as well. And Dr. Joe, I'm just so grateful for you for, I don't know how many times I've had you on. But I think I was looking at, earlier today, our interviews have over 40 million views. Just on YouTube alone. That's not just the audio. It's probably even more, way more. And I love when we come together, I love this type of information. I'm always learning. You're well advanced more than I am. And I'm constantly just trying to grasp onto some of your information and apply it. Because every time I apply your content and do the work, I get better results. I feel better about my life. I feel more peace and more harmony. And if I can share that with others to help them get more of that, then that's exciting for me. So, I appreciate you. I know people want more of you. They can follow you on social media. They can go to the events. He will be back on soon, so make sure you're here for another interview. We're going to talk about some more amazing things. Dr. Joe, thanks so much. Thanks, Joe. I always appreciate it. I hope today's episode inspired you on your journey towards greatness.
