Dr. Joe Dispenza: Rewire Your Brain In 7 Days To Attract Anything

The State of Readiness and Stress as a Block to Manifesting Love00:00

The majority of people spend most of their time in a state of readiness in their life. They're always ready for whatever is going to take place. The hormones that are associated with getting up and going and reacting stressfully create a primitive mechanism where we go into survival. Living in stress and living in survival is not a time for us to open our hearts.

When people get bruised, get damaged, or get injured in their life, the stronger the emotion they feel towards that event, the more altered they feel from that experience. The brain freezes a frame and takes a snapshot and that's called a long-term memory. People think about the problems that happened in the past and they produce the same chemistry in their brain and body as if the event was happening. This is a primitive mechanism in our biology.

To tame the animal self so that it's no longer in a state of readiness, where you place your attention is where you place your energy. Of all the things you can place your attention on, place it on your heart. Slow your breathing down and if you can slow your breathing down, you can take your body out of that state of readiness. When you slow your breathing down, you slow your brain waves down and your body starts to move out of that state of sympathetic arousal.

Practice feeling elevated emotions with your heart: kindness, care, love, appreciation, gratitude. You'll get good at feeling that way if you keep doing it. Getting there is a daily practice. The block for us to feel love is that if we're living in survival, you have to make up your mind that that state is not a state to create in. Break away from the people in your life and your schedule and your phone and all the obligations you have long enough to reset just for a little period of time and to remember, so you don't forget.
