Dr. Joe Dispenza was one of the first to explore the influence of consciousness on reality with scientific point vision. His theory of the relationship between matter and consciousness brought him worldwide fame after the release of documentary film"We know what the signal does."
A key discovery made by Joe Dispenza is that the brain does not distinguish between physical and mental experiences. Roughly speaking, cells gray matter» absolutely do not distinguish the real, i.e. material, from the imaginary, i.e. from thoughts!
Few people know that the doctor's research in the field of consciousness and neurophysiology began with a tragic experience. After Joe Dispenza was hit by a car, doctors offered to fix his damaged vertebrae with an implant, which could later lead to lifelong pain. Only in this way, according to doctors, he could walk again.
But Dispenza decided to abandon traditional medicine exports and restore his health through the power of thought. After only 9 months of therapy, Dispenza was able to walk again. This was the impetus for the study of the possibilities of consciousness.
The first step on this path was communication with people who experienced the experience of "spontaneous remission". This is a spontaneous and impossible from the point of view of doctors, the healing of a person from a serious illness without the use of traditional treatment. In the course of the survey, Dispenza found that all people who went through such an experience were convinced that thought is primary in relation to matter and can heal any disease.
Neural networks
Dr. Dispenza's theory states that every time we have an experience, we "activate" great amount neurons in our brain, which in turn affect our physical condition.
It is the phenomenal power of consciousness, thanks to the ability to concentrate, that creates the so-called synaptic connections - connections between neurons. Repetitive experiences (situations, thoughts, feelings) create stable neural connections called neural networks. Each network is, in fact, certain memory, on the basis of which our body reacts to similar objects and situations in the future.
According to Dispenza, our entire past is “recorded” in the neural networks of the brain, which shape how we perceive and feel the world in general and its specific objects in particular. Thus, it only seems to us that our reactions are spontaneous. In fact, most of them are programmed with stable neural connections. Each object (stimulus) activates one or another neural network, which in turn causes a set of certain chemical reactions in the body.
These chemical reactions make us act or feel in a certain way - run or freeze in place, be happy or upset, excited or lethargic, etc. All our emotional reactions- nothing more than a result chemical processes conditioned by the existing neural networks, and they are based on past experience. In other words, in 99% of cases we perceive reality not as it is, but interpret it on the basis of ready-made images from the past.
The basic rule of neurophysiology is this: nerves that are used together connect. This means that neural networks are formed as a result of repetition and consolidation of experience. If the experience for a long time is not reproduced, then the neural networks decay. Thus, the habit is formed as a result of regular "pressing" the button of the same neural network. This is how automatic reactions are formed and conditioned reflexes- you have not yet had time to think and realize what is happening, and your body is already reacting in a certain way.
The power of attention
Just think about it: our character, our habits, our personality are just a set of stable neural networks that we can weaken or strengthen at any time thanks to our conscious perception of reality! By focusing consciously and selectively on what we want to achieve, we create new neural networks.
Previously, scientists believed that the brain is static, but studies by neurophysiologists show that absolutely every slightest experience produces thousands and millions of neural changes in it, which are reflected in the body as a whole. In his book The Evolution of Our Brain, The Science of Changing Our Mind, Joe Dispenza asks a logical question: if we use our thinking to cause certain negative states in the body, will this abnormal state eventually become the norm?
Dispenza conducted a special experiment to confirm the capabilities of our consciousness.
People from one group pressed the springy mechanism with the same finger for an hour every day. People from the other group were only supposed to imagine that they were pressing. As a result, the fingers of people from the first group became stronger by 30%, and from the second - by 22%. Such an influence of purely mental practice on physical parameters- the result of the work of neural networks. So Joe Dispenza proved that for the brain and neurons there is no difference between the real and mental experience. So, if we pay attention to negative thoughts, our brain perceives them as reality and causes corresponding changes in the body. For example, illness, fear, depression, a surge of aggression, etc.
Where are the loot from?
Another takeaway from Dispenza's research concerns our emotions. Resilient neural networks form unconscious patterns emotional behavior, i.e. prone to some form of emotional response. In turn, this leads to repeated experiences in life.
We step on the same rake only because we are not aware of the reasons for their appearance! And the reason is simple - each emotion is “felt” due to the release of a certain set of emotions into the body. chemical substances, and our body simply becomes in some way "dependent" on these chemical combinations. By recognizing this dependence precisely as a physiological dependence on chemicals, we can get rid of it.
Only a conscious approach is needed.
Today I watched a lecture by Joe Dispenza “Break the habit of being yourself” and thought: “Such scientists should be given golden monuments ...” Biochemist, neurophysiologist, neuropsychologist, chiropractor, father of three children (two of whom, at the initiative of Dispenza, were born under water, although 23 years ago in USA, this method was considered complete madness) and a very charming person in communication. He reads lectures with such sparkling humor, speaks about neurophysiology in such a simple and plain language- a real enthusiast from science, enlightening ordinary people, generously sharing his 20 years of scientific experience.
In his explanations, he actively uses recent achievements quantum physics and speaks of the time that has already come, when it is not enough for people now to simply learn about something, but now they are obliged to put their knowledge into practice:
“Why wait for some special moment or the beginning of a new year in order to start radically changing your thinking and life for the better? Just start doing it right now: stop engaging in repetitive daily negative behaviors that you want to get rid of, such as telling yourself in the morning, “Today I will live the day without judging anyone” or “Today I will not whine and complain about everything.” or “I won’t get annoyed today”….
Try to do things in a different order, for example, if you first washed your face and then brushed your teeth, do the opposite. Or take and forgive someone. Just. Break the usual structures! And you will feel unusual and very pleasant sensations, you will like it, not to mention those global processes in your body and mind that you will launch with this! Start getting into the habit of thinking about yourself and talking to yourself like you would a best friend.
Change of mind leads to profound changes and in physical body. If a person took and thought, impartially looking at himself from the side:
Why do I feel bad?
Why do I live the way I don't want to?
What do I need to change in myself?
What exactly is stopping me?
What do I want to get rid of? etc. and felt burning desire not reacting as before, or not doing something as before, means that he has gone through the process of "realization." This is an inner evolution. At that moment, he made a leap. Accordingly, the personality begins to change, and the new personality needs a new body.
This is how spontaneous healings happen: with a new consciousness, the disease can no longer remain in the body, because. the whole biochemistry of the body changes (we change thoughts, and this changes the set chemical elements involved in the processes, our internal environment becomes toxic to the disease), and the person recovers.
Addictive behavior (i.e. addiction to anything from video games to irritability) can be defined very easily: it is something that you find it difficult to stop when you want to.
If you can’t get off your computer and check your social network page every 5 minutes, or if you understand, for example, that irritability interferes with your relationship, but you can’t stop being annoyed, then know that you are addicted not only at the mental level, but also at the biochemical level. (your body requires a surge of hormones responsible for given state).
It has been scientifically proven that the action of chemical elements lasts from 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and if you continue to experience this or that state for longer, know that the rest of the time you artificially maintain it in yourself, with your thoughts provoking cyclical excitation of the neural network and the repeated release of unwanted hormones , causing negative emotions, i.e. you yourself maintain this state in yourself!
By and large, you voluntarily choose how you feel. best advice for such situations - learn to switch your attention to something else: nature, sports, watching a comedy, or anything that can distract and switch you. A sharp refocusing of attention will weaken and “extinguish” the action of hormones that respond to negative state. This ability is called neuroplasticity.
And the better you develop this quality in yourself, the easier it will be for you to control your reactions, which, in a chain, will lead to a huge crowd changes in your perception outside world and internal state. This process and is called evolution.
Because new thoughts lead to new choices new choice leads to new behavior, new behavior leads to new experience, new experience leads to new emotions which, together with new information from the outside world, begin to change your genes epigenetically (i.e. secondarily). And then those new emotions, in turn, start to trigger new thoughts, and that's how you develop self-respect, self-confidence, and so on. This is how we can improve ourselves and, consequently, our lives.
Depression too a prime example dependencies. Any state of addiction indicates a biochemical imbalance in the body, as well as an imbalance in the mind-body connection.
The most big mistake people in that they associate their emotions and behaviors with their personality: we say “I am nervous”, “I am weak-willed”, “I am sick”, “I am unhappy”, etc. They believe that manifestation certain emotions identifies their personality, so they constantly subconsciously strive to repeat a response pattern or state (for example, physical illness or depression), as if confirming to themselves every time who they are. Even if they themselves suffer greatly at the same time! Huge misconception. Any undesirable state can be removed if desired, and the possibilities of each person are limited only by his imagination.
And when you want changes in your life, be clear about exactly what you want, but do not develop in your mind a “hard plan” of HOW EXACTLY it will happen, so that you can “choose” the best option for you, which may turn out to be completely unexpected.
It is enough to relax internally and try to rejoice from the heart with what has not yet happened, but will definitely happen. Do you know why? Because on quantum level In reality, this has already happened, provided that you clearly imagined and rejoiced from the bottom of your heart. It is from the quantum level that the emergence of the materialization of events begins.
So start acting first there. People are accustomed to rejoice only in what “you can touch”, which has already been realized. But we are not accustomed to trusting ourselves and our abilities to CO-CREATE reality, although we do this every day and mainly on negative wave. It is enough to remember how often our fears are realized, although these events are also formed by us, only without control ... But when you develop the ability to control thinking and emotions, real miracles will begin to happen.
Believe me, I can give thousands of beautiful and inspiring examples. You know, when someone smiles and says that something will happen, and they ask him: “How do you know?”, And he calmly answers: “I just know ...”. This is a vivid example of a controlled implementation of events ... I am sure that absolutely everyone has experienced this special state at least once.
This is how Joe Dispenza talks about complex things in such a simple way. I would warmly recommend his books to everyone as soon as they are translated into Russian and sold in Russia.
“Our most important habit should be the habit of being ourselves.”
And Dispenza also advises: never stop learning. Information is best absorbed when a person is surprised. Try to learn something new every day - this develops and trains your brain, creating new neural connections, which in turn will change and develop your ability to conscious thinking, which will help you model your own happy and fulfilling reality.

Of course, despite Dispenza's research, official science treats his assertions with distrust. But why wait for official approval from scientific minds if it is already possible to apply the results of these discoveries in practice? The main thing is to realize that thought can change physical world. In particular, you can find examples of such practices in the books by Anastasia Novykh, which can be downloaded for free on our website. See one of the quotes on this topic below.

(click on the quote to download the entire book for free):Our sudden problems only seem to us unexpected, splashed out on us from nowhere. But in fact - we are them true reason formation and appearance on our "sky firmament" of thinking. Yet the events that have happened in our lives are the natural result of uncontrolled thinking. So wouldn’t it be better to take care of yourself seriously, to monitor and control your thoughts as if it were the most important and important profession of our entire life, thanks to which the Soul, in the end, will take the honorary position of the Great Master, having built a magnificent temple inside the shell-body.

Previously, scientists believed that the brain is static, but studies by neurophysiologists show that absolutely every slightest experience produces thousands and millions of neural changes in it, which are reflected in the body as a whole. In his book The Evolution of Our Brain, The Science of Changing Our Mind, Joe Dispenza asks a logical question: if we use our thinking to cause certain negative states in the body, will this abnormal state eventually become the norm?
Dispenza conducted a special experiment to confirm the capabilities of our consciousness.
People from one group pressed the springy mechanism with the same finger for an hour every day. People from the other group were only supposed to imagine that they were pressing. As a result, the fingers of people from the first group became stronger by 30%, and from the second - by 22%. Such an influence of purely mental practice on physical parameters is the result of the work of neural networks.
So Joe Dispenza proved that for the brain and neurons there is no difference between real and mental experience. So, if we pay attention to negative thoughts, our brain perceives them as reality and causes corresponding changes in the body. For example, illness, fear, depression, a surge of aggression, etc.
Where are the loot from?
Another takeaway from Dispenza's research concerns our emotions. Stable neural networks form unconscious patterns of emotional behavior, i.e. prone to some form of emotional response. In turn, this leads to repeated experiences in life.
We step on the same rake only because we are not aware of the reasons for their appearance! And the reason is simple - every emotion is “felt” due to the release of a certain set of chemicals into the body, and our body simply becomes in some way “addicted” to these chemical combinations. By recognizing this dependence precisely as a physiological dependence on chemicals, we can get rid of it.
Only a conscious approach is needed.
In his explanations, Dispenza actively uses the latest achievements of quantum physics and speaks of the time that has already come, when it is not enough for people now to simply learn about something, but now they are obliged to put their knowledge into practice:
“Why wait for some special moment or the beginning of a new year in order to start radically changing your thinking and life for the better? Just start doing it right now: stop engaging in repetitive daily negative behaviors that you want to get rid of, such as telling yourself in the morning, “Today I will live the day without judging anyone” or “Today I will not whine and complain about everything.” or “I won’t get annoyed today”….
Try to do things in a different order, for example, if you first washed your face and then brushed your teeth, do the opposite. Or take and forgive someone. Just. Break the usual structures! And you will feel unusual and very pleasant sensations, you will like it, not to mention those global processes in your body and mind that you will start with this! Start getting into the habit of thinking about yourself and talking to yourself like you would a best friend.
A change in thinking leads to profound changes in the physical body. If a person took and thought, impartially looking at himself from the side:
"Who am I? Why do I feel bad? Why do I live the way I don't want to? What do I need to change in myself? What exactly is stopping me? What do I want to get rid of? etc. and felt a strong desire not to react as before, or not to do something as before - this means that he went through the process of "realization".
This is an internal evolution. At that moment, he made a leap. Accordingly, the personality begins to change, and the new personality needs a new body.
This is how spontaneous healings happen: with a new consciousness, the disease can no longer remain in the body, because. the whole biochemistry of the body changes (we change our thoughts, and this changes the set of chemical elements involved in the processes, our internal environment becomes toxic for the disease), and the person recovers.
Addictive behavior (i.e. addiction to anything from video games to irritability) can be defined very easily: it is something that you find it difficult to stop when you want to.
If you can’t get off your computer and check your social network page every 5 minutes, or if you understand, for example, that irritability interferes with your relationship, but you can’t stop being annoyed, then know that you are addicted not only at the mental level, but also at the biochemical level. (your body requires the injection of hormones responsible for this condition).
It has been scientifically proven that the action of chemical elements lasts from 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and if you continue to experience this or that state for longer, know that the rest of the time you artificially maintain it in yourself, with your thoughts provoking cyclical excitation of the neural network and the repeated release of unwanted hormones that cause negative emotions, i.e. you yourself maintain this state in yourself!
By and large, you voluntarily choose how you feel. The best advice for situations like this is to learn to switch your attention to something else: nature, sports, watching a comedy, anything that can distract and switch you. A sharp refocusing of attention will weaken and “extinguish” the action of hormones that respond to a negative state. This ability is called neuroplasticity.
And the better you develop this quality in yourself, the easier it will be for you to control your reactions, which, in a chain, will lead to a huge number of changes in your perception of the external world and your inner state. This process is called evolution.
Because new thoughts lead to new choices, new choices lead to new behaviors, new behaviors lead to new experiences, new experiences lead to new emotions, which, along with new information from the outside world, begin to change your genes epigenetically (i.e. secondarily). And then those new emotions, in turn, start to trigger new thoughts, and that's how you develop self-respect, self-confidence, and so on. This is how we can improve ourselves and, consequently, our lives.
Depression is also a prime example of addiction. Any state of addiction indicates a biochemical imbalance in the body, as well as an imbalance in the mind-body connection.
The biggest mistake people make is that they associate their emotions and behaviors with their personality: we just say “I am nervous”, “I am weak-willed”, “I am sick”, “I am unhappy”, etc. They believe that the manifestation of certain emotions identifies their personality, so they constantly subconsciously strive to repeat a response pattern or state (for example, physical illness or depression), as if confirming to themselves every time who they are. Even if they themselves suffer greatly at the same time! Huge misconception. Any undesirable state can be removed if desired, and the possibilities of each person are limited only by his imagination.
And when you want changes in your life, be clear about exactly what you want, but do not develop in your mind a “hard plan” of HOW EXACTLY it will happen, so that you can “choose” the best option for you, which may turn out to be completely unexpected.
It is enough to relax internally and try to rejoice from the heart with what has not yet happened, but will definitely happen. Do you know why? Because at the quantum level of reality, this has already happened, provided that you clearly imagined and rejoiced from the bottom of your heart. It is from the quantum level that the emergence of the materialization of events begins.
So start acting first there. People are accustomed to rejoice only in what “you can touch”, which has already been realized. But we are not accustomed to trust ourselves and our abilities to CO-CREATE reality, although we do this every day and, mostly, on a negative wave. It is enough to remember how often our fears are realized, although these events are also formed by us, only without control ... But when you develop the ability to control thinking and emotions, real miracles will begin to happen.
Believe me, I can give thousands of beautiful and inspiring examples. You know, when someone smiles and says that something will happen, and they ask him: “How do you know?”, And he calmly answers: “I just know ...”. This is a vivid example of a controlled implementation of events ... I am sure that absolutely everyone has experienced this special state at least once.
“Our most important habit should be the habit of being ourselves”
And Dispenza also advises: never stop learning. Information is best absorbed when a person is surprised. Try to learn something new every day - it develops and trains your brain, creating new neural connections, which in turn will change and develop your ability to consciously think, which will help you model your own happy and fulfilling reality.

Old age begins from the moment when a person stops learning (c)
Text from here in addition to yesterday's post
Dr. Joe Dispenza was one of the first to explore the influence of consciousness on reality from a scientific point of view. His theory of the relationship between matter and consciousness brought him worldwide fame after the release of the documentary We Know What the Signal Does. A key discovery made by Joe Dispenza is that the brain does not distinguish between physical and mental experiences. Roughly speaking, the cells of the "gray matter" absolutely do not distinguish the real, i.e. material, from the imaginary, i.e. from thoughts!
Few people know that the doctor's research in the field of consciousness and neurophysiology began with a tragic experience. After Joe Dispenza was hit by a car, doctors offered to fix his damaged vertebrae with an implant, which could later lead to lifelong pain. Only in this way, according to doctors, he could walk again. But Dispenza decided to abandon traditional medicine exports and restore his health through the power of thought. After only 9 months of therapy, Dispenza was able to walk again. This was the impetus for the study of the possibilities of consciousness.
The first step on this path was communication with people who experienced the experience of "spontaneous remission". This is a spontaneous and impossible from the point of view of doctors, the healing of a person from a serious illness without the use of traditional treatment. In the course of the survey, Dispenza found that all people who went through such an experience were convinced that thought is primary in relation to matter and can heal any disease.
Dr. Dispenza's theory states that every time we have an experience, we "activate" a huge number of neurons in our brain, which in turn affect our physical condition.
It is the phenomenal power of consciousness, thanks to the ability to concentrate, that creates the so-called synaptic connections - connections between neurons. Repetitive experiences (situations, thoughts, feelings) create stable neural connections called neural networks. Each network is, in fact, a certain memory, on the basis of which our body reacts to similar objects and situations in the future.
According to Dispenza, our entire past is “recorded” in the neural networks of the brain, which shape how we perceive and feel the world in general and its specific objects in particular. Thus, it only seems to us that our reactions are spontaneous. In fact, most of them are programmed with stable neural connections. Each object (stimulus) activates one or another neural network, which in turn causes a set of certain chemical reactions in the body.
These chemical reactions make us act or feel a certain way - run or freeze in place, be happy or sad, excited or lethargic, and so on. All our emotional reactions are nothing more than the result of chemical processes due to the existing neural networks, and they are based on past experience. In other words, in 99% of cases we perceive reality not as it is, but interpret it on the basis of ready-made images from the past.
The basic rule of neurophysiology is this: nerves that are used together connect. This means that neural networks are formed as a result of repetition and consolidation of experience. If the experience is not reproduced for a long time, then the neural networks disintegrate. Thus, a habit is formed as a result of regular "pressing" the button of the same neural network. This is how automatic reactions and conditioned reflexes are formed - you have not yet had time to think and realize what is happening, but your body is already reacting in a certain way.
Just think about it: our character, our habits, our personality are just a set of stable neural networks that we can weaken or strengthen at any time thanks to our conscious perception of reality! By focusing consciously and selectively on what we want to achieve, we create new neural networks.
Previously, scientists believed that the brain is static, but studies by neurophysiologists show that absolutely every slightest experience produces thousands and millions of neural changes in it, which are reflected in the body as a whole.

Only a conscious approach is needed
Today I watched a lecture by Joe Dispenza “Break the habit of being yourself” and thought: “Such scientists should be given golden monuments ...” Biochemist, neurophysiologist, neuropsychologist, chiropractor, father of three children (two of whom, at the initiative of Dispenza, were born under water, although 23 years ago in USA, this method was considered complete madness) and a very charming person in communication. He reads lectures with such sparkling humor, speaks about neurophysiology in such a simple and understandable language - a real enthusiast from science, educating ordinary people, generously sharing his 20 years of scientific experience.
In his explanations, he actively uses the latest achievements of quantum physics and speaks of the time that has already come, when it is not enough for people now to simply learn about something, but now they are obliged to put their knowledge into practice:

This is how Joe Dispenza talks about complex things in such a simple way. I would warmly recommend his books to everyone as soon as they are translated into Russian and sold in Russia.

And Dispenza also advises: never stop learning. Information is best absorbed when a person is surprised. Try to learn something new every day - it develops and trains your brain, creating new neural connections, which in turn will change and develop your ability to consciously think, which will help you model your own happy and fulfilling reality.
A short clip about neuroplasticity:
Neuroplasticity, or Our brain loves to learn
Basic techniques for gaining neuroplasticity:
1. Mindfulness in motion. AT this method there should be movement with complication. It reminds me of the so-called slow yoga. There simple exercises- for example, throw a virtual spear. But they must be done very slowly. Alternatively, one such throwing lasts 5 minutes. Try it. A very interesting experience.
2. Representation of movement. Athletes often use this method to improve their skills. There are even special psychologists in the teams who help you learn to visualize/feel your movement. It turns out that at this time, neural connections are created / strengthened in the brain. And this, in turn, affects the improvement of the quality of movements in life. By the way, it was from this task that the development of neuroplasticity began - scientists raised hopeless patients to their feet.
3. Meditation. If we summarize all the knowledge that I received through meditation, then most of all early stages it is like concentrating on anything - on the breath, the picture, the sensations, the movement (which repeats the first 2 points)
4. Games. Our brain loves to play, it loves when it's interesting. When playing, new neural connections are formed more intensively.
5. Reading and writing texts. Daily reading or writing is a great brain workout, especially if you are learning or expressing something new, these two simple activities help stimulate the hippocampus - the main component of the brain responsible for memory. The more you stimulate and activate this area, the less you will be at risk of memory loss. To give your brain an even bigger challenge, try reading words backwards or write with a hand you don't normally write with.
