Similar to his first book I read, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, Dispenza is vulnerable in telling his own story, sharing his doubts and struggles along the way. Dispenza gives accounts of others, too, who healed themselves with positive mental attitude shifts. Is his approach mere pie in the sky optimism? Not a chance, says Dispenza. “None of the methods you’ll read about here involve denying whatever health condition you may presently have,” he writes. “Instead of being about rejecting reality, You Are the Placebo is about projecting what’s possible when you step into a new reality.” Reading Dizpenza’s stories opened my eyes to the power of the mind in healing the body. To signal new genes in new ways, and to have your genes be expressed to the best of their ability, mental rehearsal is the most powerful way to do that. Athletes have known this for years. When you mental rehearse and picture how you want to act, how you want to feel, and how you want to look- you are literally changing your brain and creating new neural pathways to match those exact thoughts. When you imagine something and feel the emotion as if it already happened- your brain does not know the difference between what is actually happening or what is imagined. Theta State: Where meditation begins. This is the point where the verbal/thinking mind transitions to the meditative/visual mind. We begin to move from the planning mind to a deeper state of awareness (often felt as drowsy), with stronger intuition, more capacity for wholeness and complicated problem solving. The Theta state is associated with visualization. Dr Joe Dispenza is an international lecturer, researcher, corporate consultant, author, and educator who has been invited to speak in more than 33 countries on six continents. As a lecturer and educator, he is driven by the conviction that each of us has the potential for greatness and unlimited abilities. In his easy-to-understand, encouraging, and compassionate style, he has educated thousands of people, detailing how they can rewire their brains and recondition their bodies to make lasting changes. Scientists began to become amazed when the placebo drug (that had no healing effects) would suddenly produce spontaneous healing in their patients.

The key is making your inner thoughts more real than the outer environment, because then the brain won’t know the difference between the two and will change to look as if the event has taken place. The book shows the reader that when we truly change our state of being, our bodies can respond to the new mind. That by paying attention to our emotions on a daily basis and making the choice of which emotions serve us, and which don’t, we can then take control of co-creating a happier and healthier future. You have to recondition the body to be ahead of time. You have to not rely on the environment to make you feel a certain way. Not rely on your senses to tell you what is and is not happening. You condition your mind with persistance, and your body follows. He says that subjective improvement sometimes stands in the way of objective non-improvement, which is idiotic in cases in which we have good medicine to treat the issue. When individuals believed they were taking the ‘real’ medicine—consistently again and again, in trial after trail- individuals healed.Dr. Joe Recommends starting each day meditating, visualizing, and creating a new self. Thinking about who you want to be, who you no longer are, and what you desire to happen. In this state, your brain and body begin to change.

Yet, what he says about obsessing over the negatives and the past issues is true. The habits of our mind do make who we are. And we should all take care of seeding and harvesting positive thoughts. All of this suggests that the effects of an intervention—whether it is pharmaceutical, herbal, dietary, or something else—depend in large part on our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about that intervention. You no doubt have heard stories of people being healed from illness by taking miracle drugs, only to find out later the drugs were “placebos” – or harmless sugar pills. How, then, were these people healed? Dr Joe Dispenza explores this phenomenon in his new book, “You Are the Placebo: making your mind matter”. The final flaw of the book is the blatant way it is meant to goose up sales for the authors program of workshops and seminars. I kept having visions of a Tom Vu advertisement, ‘Take My Seminar’. THE KEY TO KNOW: True healing and change in the body begin to happen when emotions align with your positive thoughts. This is where coherence comes in.Yet, somehow taking a placebo is able to change all of this in a moment. The key, of course, is not the placebo but the three key components of conditioning, expectation, and meaning in addition to the emotional qualities of acceptance, belief, and surrender. Dr. Joe Dispenza weaves scientific studies together to come upwith a true revolutionary approach to using our minds toheal our bodies. I was spellbound. Bravo!” This is what creates change within our bodies. Our beliefs about what is possible, and truly believing it and thinking about it enough, that your brain literal looks like it even thou it has not already occurred. David Gorsky, Ph.D., suggests that using a placebo without medicine to alter physiology can be dangerous. A Harvard study of elderly men who were placed in an environment for several days that was meticulously and convincingly designed to feel like it was from 22 years earlier and the men's biological aging markers when measured showed a positive regression towards a more youthful state. They felt and acted younger and amazingly various symptoms of aging disappeared in just a few days.

The book is filled with real-life success stories of people who have used the principles outlined in the book to overcome serious health conditions. These stories serve as powerful examples of what is possible when we harness the power of the placebo effect. For instance, one woman who was diagnosed with a severe case of chronic fatigue syndrome was able to regain her health and vitality by applying the principles in the book. She changed her beliefs and expectations, practiced daily meditation and visualization, and cultivated positive emotions, leading to a remarkable recovery. Final Summary and Review The word epigenetics literally means “above the gene.” It refers to the control of genes not from within the DNA itself but from messages coming from outside the cell—in other words, from the environment.(p. 92) However, if you’ve read any of his previous works, such as “Evolve Your Brain” or “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself,” then you’ll likely find that there’s not all that much new content here. If you’re a die-hard fan of Dispenza’s, then this will be nothing to worry about, but if you’re just a “regular” fan, you might find this one to be frustratingly “too much of the same old thing.”

Life и Saturday Evening Post , они смотрели фильмы и телешоу, популярные в 1959 году, слушали по ламповому радиоприемнику записи Перри Комо и Нэта Кинг Коула. Они бурно обсуждали «последние» события – приход к власти на Кубе Феделя Кастро, визит Генерального секретаря ЦК КПСС Никиты Хрущева в Соединенные Штаты, а также трюки бейсбольной звезды Микки Мэнтла и сокрушительные нокауты великого Флойда Паттерсона. Все эти элементы жизни и быта были грамотно подобраны так, чтобы старики могли представить себя на 22 года моложе. Our perceptions of the world around us can shape our health. If we perceive our environment as threatening, our body responds by activating the stress response, which can lead to health problems if sustained over time. On the other hand, perceiving our environment as safe and supportive can promote health and well-being. For example, people who perceive their work environment as supportive and fair have been found to have lower levels of stress and better health than those who perceive their work environment as hostile and unfair. StoryShot #4: The Power of Visualization Alpha State: Brain waves start to slow down out of thinking mind. We feel more calm, peaceful and grounded. We often find ourselves in an “alpha state” a bath, a walk in the woods, or during any activity that helps relax the body and mind. Dispenza introduces the quantum model of health, which proposes that our thoughts and emotions can influence our health at the quantum level. This model suggests that by changing our thoughts and emotions, we can change our physical reality. For instance, a person who constantly thinks negative thoughts and feels stressed may develop health problems, while a person who maintains positive thoughts and emotions may enjoy better health.
