Dr. Joe Dispenza: Rewire Your Brain In 7 Days To Attract Anything
In a Nutshell
Dr. Joe Dispenza teaches that living in stress and survival mode blocks manifestation because it keeps you trapped in past emotional patterns. To attract love, you must first heal trauma by releasing emotional charges from past hurts, then feel the elevated emotions of love and joy before the experience arrives. The 7-day immersion works because daily heart-centered practices and community support rewire subconscious beliefs, allowing your body to produce its own healing chemicals and create the future you desire.

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.
When thinking about dating and finding romantic love, the feeling around dating mentally, physically, emotionally is stressful. The idea of dating is stressful. The idea of being on a date is stressful. The idea of talking to someone is stressful. When all of your emotions around this are stress, how are you going to create? There's the stress of a timeline - being in mid-30s and feeling like you should have found someone by now. There's the stress of scarcity - having been out on seven dates in the last couple of months and none of them were good enough.
When we're stressed, we're altered. That stress is when we're out of balance. We're not ourselves. We can't relax and be authentic. It usually takes a crisis or a trauma or a loss or a betrayal for a person to really decide if this is really who they want to continue to be. The message is: why wait for that?
There's nothing wrong with saying you want to be in a relationship and want the following things in a relationship from this person or what might be your ideal relationship. People have an image in their mind of what they like or what their type is. There's nothing wrong with that, but what people are really looking for is connection and joy. People should be in a relationship to be overjoyed to be with a person that you're with. You want joy in your life.
If a person got very clear on what they wanted, then they should start on the journey to become that very person. They should really work on being that very person that they want. There would have to be some change that they would have to make in order to be worthy enough to create a person that they would attract in their life. We cannot attract anything in our life that we feel separate from.
Trusting in a future that you can't see or experience, you have to lay down the very thing you used your whole life to get what you want to trust that something greater could happen. That's not something that's very easy. It wouldn't necessarily happen on a date that was from an app. It could happen in a bank, at a seminar, at the grocery store - all in a way that you least expect.
When we get to a point where we're so happy with ourselves, we're no longer looking because we feel like we already have it. That's the state where people attract an equal.
We're conditioned to need something out there. We need the experience to prove. We need the event to occur. The end product of that event or experience is called an emotion. The emotion takes away the lack or separation from not having it. We're waiting for the event to occur to take away the feeling of separation or lack. That's not the healthiest way to create.
We should feel the emotion of the experience before it happens. If you're feeling the emotion of that future before it happens, truly feeling it, you wouldn't be looking for it. You would only be looking for it when you felt separate from it. Can you maintain that state? Because the only way you're going to believe in that future is you have to feel the emotion associated with it.
The moment you feel the lack and the separation, you're going to believe in the past. There's a story that goes along with the past that has everything to do with dating being hard or finding a person. The story that we tell ourselves that we actually accept, believe, and surrender to as if it's the truth - that's exactly what programs the subconscious mind into a belief.
When someone's been catfished, betrayed, heartbroken, cheated on, lied to, manipulated, gaslit - they've had a moment that has made them lose belief because they've been hurt and broken so many times in love. On a belief level, they don't believe they're lovable, they don't believe love exists for them, they don't believe good people exist. These are all beliefs.
The stronger the emotion you feel from some event in your life, the more altered you are inside of you. The more you remember the event, the brain actually freezes that frame. Beliefs are subconscious states of being. It's those subconscious beliefs that really run our life and run our reality.
Unless you can heal from the experience and overcome the emotion, because the memory without the emotional charge is called wisdom, and you never have to do it again because you know now. If you can't overcome that emotion, then you'll never be able to open your heart.
Forgiveness is when you overcome the emotion of your past, and you no longer have your attention on that person or that experience any longer. You feel so good that you no longer want to feel bad. You free yourself from that belief, and you free that person as well, or the experience. The only person that this really is affecting is you. They went on with their life. You're holding yourself hostage to the past.
Then you got to trust that love is available, or love is real. In order for you to create someone in your life that is loving, you would have to be worthy of love. And that means you would have to feel loved, too. People make their way out of this all the time.
This work deals with severe PTSD with veterans. When you tell them it's the heart that resets the baseline for the trauma in the brain, all you have to do is have the courage to open that thing again. They may come up against themselves for a few days, but once it happens and they understand the process, their past is wisdom. They don't have to ever go back there again. They understand it all, but there's no charge associated with it any longer. That's when we belong to the future. That's when the synchronicities and the coincidences and the miracles and the opportunities begin to show up in our life that prove to us that we are the creators of our life.
It's bad to react. Everybody reacts. The question is, how long are you going to react? Because if you're feeling that emotion, you're going to behave as if you're in your past, and you're going to believe in that past.
Set the intention in the beginning of their day. Check in with yourself before you sit down and eat lunch to see if you've fallen from grace or if you're still in that state. On your break, check in with yourself. A person who's possessed in a good way, when they understand that when I change my life changes, and nothing changes in my life until I change, will constantly be checking in with themselves because they're paying more attention to their inner world. They're paying more attention to themselves and less attention to everybody else. They're really regulating their state.
Change is about reminding yourself over and over again. Change is about the overcoming process. The overcoming process is actually the becoming process. People who heal in this work are doing their meditations to change. They discover that when they change, they heal. Accept that as a new belief: when I change, my life will change. Keep reminding yourself of that belief.
Attack the belief like this is no longer serving me. Complaining is making me unhappy. If you took that on as the truth, remember that. If I change, my health could change. If I change, my life could change. It's a different game now. It's not like I have to - it's like I want to change to see my life change. It's more of a want to.
Brain scans show that when people are in a place of a transcendental experience, the arousal that's taking place is not fear, not anger, not pain - that's what typically creates arousal of survival. This arousal is ecstasy. This arousal is bliss. They're having a transcendental moment where they're interacting with something that's beyond their senses that's causing their body to be lifted and aroused.
Give people information that's based on science. Have them understand the information. Have them teach it back to somebody. Have them understand what they're doing and why they're doing it. Combine quantum with neuroscience and neuroendocrinology and psychoneuroimmunology and epigenetics and electromagnetism and Newtonian physics, but make it really simple that it makes sense to them so they can understand it.
People have to be present with information. Paying attention is being present. It's a skill, and the more you practice it, the better you get at it. If you're not present, you can't hear the information because your mind is in the predictable future or the familiar past.
Get a community of people together, have them understand the information, and then in 7 days immerse themselves fully into transformation and change. Sooner or later there's an emergent consciousness that takes place in the collective. Something happens that's intangible when you get a group of people together and they start overcoming themselves. They sit with themselves long enough to be curious about what's on the other side of that belief instead of saying I quit and get up and get my cell phone or call somebody or go eat something or go do something. You're going to sit there and become really conscious that you're not going to give up on you. You're going to go past that point.
Just like infection spreads amongst the community and creates disease, all of a sudden you see health and wealth and abundance. At the end of 7 days there is an emergent consciousness that's reflected in people's biology and genetically they look like they're living in a new life.
There's too many variables to measure how long it takes to rewire a belief: the comprehension of the information, how long the person meditates, how present they are when they are meditating, what their past was like. It can happen instantaneously, but that person could have been grappling with that belief for a long period of time.
When we're relaxed in our heart, the body is believing it's living in a nurturing environment and it begins to express new genes and that's exactly how we change.
A belief is a habit of thinking. It's just a really unconscious habit of thinking. Everybody's belief should always be challenged. The greatest belief that we could ever have is our belief in ourselves and our belief in possibility. That has to be earned. You got to show up for you enough times where you have that belief, you earned it.
Our data suggests that your autonomic nervous system manufactures a pharmacy of chemicals that works better than any drug. A drug study at its best is about 25%. One out of four people have a response and it usually takes 3 months or more to have an effect.
At the end of 7 days, 75%, 84%, 100% of the people that are being tested are having the same outcome. Their plasma, their blood, their brains in 7 days look like advanced meditators. People who just have never meditated before.
Every time a study has been done, the researchers have been completely blown away by the power of human potential. We're greater than we think. We're more powerful than we know. We're more unlimited than we can ever dream.
