2
00:00:19,750 --> 00:00:23,080
So many of us have
heard the term, be present,

3
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:28,750
or, stay in the now, but
what does that really mean?

4
00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:30,880
Many individuals
talk about meditation

5
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,310
as a tool to become present.

6
00:00:33,310 --> 00:00:36,220
But from a scientific
point of view,

7
00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:38,410
I want to offer you a
new way to understand

8
00:00:38,410 --> 00:00:41,200
what it means to
be fully present,

9
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,730
and how you can
use your meditation

10
00:00:42,730 --> 00:00:48,370
practice to transcend your
body, your environment in time

11
00:00:48,370 --> 00:00:51,430
in order to reach the sweet
spot of the generous, present

12
00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:53,050
moment.

13
00:00:53,050 --> 00:00:56,690
I'm your host, Dr. Joe Dispenza,
and in the previous episode,

14
00:00:56,690 --> 00:01:01,270
we went into depth on how change
works in the brain and body.

15
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:05,110
But how do we get really
focused on this change?

16
00:01:05,110 --> 00:01:09,160
In this episode, we're going to
demystify meditation and show

17
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,810
you how to get into
the present moment

18
00:01:10,810 --> 00:01:14,860
so you can focus on creating
a new personality, and thus,

19
00:01:14,860 --> 00:01:17,770
a new personal reality.

20
00:01:17,770 --> 00:01:20,500
This will help you
understand a fundamental part

21
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:23,710
of becoming supernatural,
which is to get

22
00:01:23,710 --> 00:01:25,180
past the analytical mind.

23
00:01:25,180 --> 00:01:27,660
[MUSIC PLAYING]

24
00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:56,150
Let's start with
the first question.

25
00:01:56,150 --> 00:01:59,320
What does the word
meditation mean?

26
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,210
Now, the word meditation, if you
research the symbol in Tibetan,

27
00:02:04,210 --> 00:02:09,850
the word literally means
"to become familiar with."

28
00:02:09,850 --> 00:02:12,780
Now, familiarization
means, then,

29
00:02:12,780 --> 00:02:18,400
if 95% of who you are by
the time you're 35 years old

30
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,470
is a set of hard-wired thoughts,
unconscious, automatic habits

31
00:02:23,470 --> 00:02:27,310
and behaviors, and reflexive
emotional reactions that

32
00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:30,160
define our
personality, that means

33
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,200
95% of who we are typically
runs in an unconscious or

34
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,510
subconscious program.

35
00:02:37,510 --> 00:02:40,390
Then the first
start to change is

36
00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:44,350
becoming conscious of
your unconscious thoughts,

37
00:02:44,350 --> 00:02:47,560
beginning to become aware
of your automatic actions

38
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,640
and behaviors.

39
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:52,000
And when you begin
to notice how you're

40
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,840
feeling, as you're beginning
to observe and become

41
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,740
familiar with those
states of mind and body,

42
00:02:59,740 --> 00:03:04,570
you are now no longer the
program, living unconsciously.

43
00:03:04,570 --> 00:03:09,740
Now you're becoming conscious
of your unconscious self.

44
00:03:09,740 --> 00:03:13,400
So think about this, many
people quit in their meditation

45
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,260
practice because
they don't think

46
00:03:15,260 --> 00:03:18,230
they can control their mind.

47
00:03:18,230 --> 00:03:22,480
Well, if you're thinking 60,000
to 70,000 thoughts in one day,

48
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,890
the majority of those
thoughts are the same thoughts

49
00:03:24,890 --> 00:03:26,780
as the day before.

50
00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:29,690
And they're hard-wired,
automatic attitudes

51
00:03:29,690 --> 00:03:31,180
and thoughts.

52
00:03:31,180 --> 00:03:33,140
They're typically
happening behind the scenes

53
00:03:33,140 --> 00:03:35,000
of your awareness.

54
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,020
Thoughts like,
I'll never change.

55
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:38,000
It's too hard.

56
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,920
My life isn't very good.

57
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,850
I'll never find love in my life.

58
00:03:41,850 --> 00:03:44,150
I'll never find the right job.

59
00:03:44,150 --> 00:03:46,070
These are the
thoughts that people

60
00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:49,190
think constantly, every day.

61
00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:51,020
So then when those
thoughts start

62
00:03:51,020 --> 00:03:54,680
coming to the surface in
their meditation practice,

63
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,420
the moment they
start realizing they

64
00:03:56,420 --> 00:04:00,800
can't control those
thoughts, they give up.

65
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,320
And they buy into the
belief that they're not

66
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:04,640
very good at meditation.

67
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,400
[MUSIC PLAYING]

68
00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:13,040
But let's start by framing
this a little differently.

69
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,089
The moment you become conscious
of those unconscious thoughts

70
00:04:17,089 --> 00:04:20,480
and you decide not to put
your attention and your energy

71
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,330
behind them, that's a victory.

72
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:27,290
In other words, the moment you
start noticing those thoughts,

73
00:04:27,290 --> 00:04:32,000
and instead of reacting to
them, just observing them,

74
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,720
you are beginning
to know thyself.

75
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,700
If you notice, then,
in your meditation

76
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:40,940
practice that your
body is in a program

77
00:04:40,940 --> 00:04:45,170
and it's busy every single
day doing a lot of things,

78
00:04:45,170 --> 00:04:48,470
and it wants to get up
and go do something,

79
00:04:48,470 --> 00:04:52,580
it wants to begin to
habituate and autopilot,

80
00:04:52,580 --> 00:04:56,420
and you become aware that
your body wants to do that,

81
00:04:56,420 --> 00:04:59,570
and instead of responding
to the body as the mind

82
00:04:59,570 --> 00:05:03,740
and getting up and quitting,
if you can settle it

83
00:05:03,740 --> 00:05:06,620
back down into the
present moment,

84
00:05:06,620 --> 00:05:08,520
that's a victory as well.

85
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,600
Because you're saying then
that your body is no longer

86
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,790
the mind, you're the mind.

87
00:05:13,790 --> 00:05:15,667
And those victories add up.

88
00:05:15,667 --> 00:05:18,152
[MUSIC PLAYING]

89
00:05:24,130 --> 00:05:26,560
Every time you
work on overcoming

90
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,740
some aspect of your
old personality,

91
00:05:29,740 --> 00:05:32,270
there's a liberation of energy.

92
00:05:32,270 --> 00:05:37,060
And we've measured this on
students all around the world.

93
00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:39,970
Because as they keep
returning the body back

94
00:05:39,970 --> 00:05:42,370
into the present
moment, the body

95
00:05:42,370 --> 00:05:43,900
is the servant to the mind.

96
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:46,240
And just like
training any animal,

97
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,900
sooner or later, it's
going to acquiesce.

98
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:53,550
And when it does, there
is a liberation of energy.

99
00:05:53,550 --> 00:05:57,790
And that's available energy
for you to use to heal.

100
00:05:57,790 --> 00:05:59,950
That's available
energy for you to begin

101
00:05:59,950 --> 00:06:03,400
to create a new future.

102
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,190
So then we said in
the last episode

103
00:06:06,190 --> 00:06:08,470
that the process of
change is breaking

104
00:06:08,470 --> 00:06:12,130
the habit of the old self
and reinventing new self.

105
00:06:12,130 --> 00:06:13,720
It's pruning
synaptic connections

106
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,100
and sprouting new connections.

107
00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:19,390
So it makes sense, then, if
you are going to transition

108
00:06:19,390 --> 00:06:22,040
from the old self
to the new self,

109
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,120
and you decide, what thoughts
do I want to fire and wire

110
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,540
in my brain, and you begin
to put all of your energy

111
00:06:28,540 --> 00:06:32,710
in installing those thoughts
neurologically in your brain,

112
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:36,460
the act of firing and wiring
over and over again begins

113
00:06:36,460 --> 00:06:39,520
to assemble new
neurological networks.

114
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,910
Now, neural networks
are gangs of neurons

115
00:06:42,910 --> 00:06:45,280
that have been fired
and wired together

116
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:49,250
that relate to a thought,
a memory, a behavior.

117
00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:52,060
The body begins to
assemble new circuits

118
00:06:52,060 --> 00:06:54,550
so it becomes more automatic.

119
00:06:54,550 --> 00:06:57,370
So it makes sense, then, if
you keep firing and wiring

120
00:06:57,370 --> 00:06:59,380
those thoughts, and
they begin to assemble

121
00:06:59,380 --> 00:07:02,140
into automatic
neurological networks,

122
00:07:02,140 --> 00:07:03,910
and you do it over
and over again,

123
00:07:03,910 --> 00:07:05,500
those thoughts
are going to begin

124
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:09,070
to become familiar to you.

125
00:07:09,070 --> 00:07:10,780
Then the thought in
your mind literally

126
00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:14,050
becomes the experience, and
experience enriches the brain.

127
00:07:17,522 --> 00:07:20,498
[MUSIC PLAYING]

128
00:07:24,970 --> 00:07:30,100
Now, let's look at another
way to understand meditation.

129
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:36,730
If we know that we are living
in a state of the familiar past,

130
00:07:36,730 --> 00:07:40,660
or we're living in the state
of the predictable future,

131
00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:44,890
and the familiar past
represents the known,

132
00:07:44,890 --> 00:07:49,610
and the predictable future
represents the known as well,

133
00:07:49,610 --> 00:07:52,190
and the sweet spot of the
generous present moment

134
00:07:52,190 --> 00:07:57,650
represents the unknown, then
in order for us to truly begin

135
00:07:57,650 --> 00:08:02,090
to make significant changes,
where our body isn't

136
00:08:02,090 --> 00:08:07,820
influencing our mind, where our
environment isn't controlling

137
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:12,440
our feelings and our thoughts,
then it makes sense, then,

138
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:17,060
that the first step that we
have to use in order to meditate

139
00:08:17,060 --> 00:08:21,760
is to sit our bodies
down and close our eyes

140
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:27,140
and disconnect from everything
known in our outer environment.

141
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:31,250
Less sensory information
is coming into the brain.

142
00:08:31,250 --> 00:08:34,549
Now, all of a sudden,
your inner world

143
00:08:34,549 --> 00:08:38,000
starts becoming more real
than your outer world.

144
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,740
If you can sit your body down,
and like training that animal,

145
00:08:42,740 --> 00:08:45,920
saying to your body, you stay.

146
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,480
I'm going to feed you.

147
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,040
You can check your emails.

148
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:50,490
You can check your text.

149
00:08:50,490 --> 00:08:52,240
You can post
anything on Facebook.

150
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,510
You're going to get a shower.

151
00:08:53,510 --> 00:08:55,040
You're going to get
a cup of coffee.

152
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,890
But right now, you're
no longer the mind.

153
00:08:57,890 --> 00:09:00,290
I'm the mind.

154
00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:02,690
Your body's in a
program, and where

155
00:09:02,690 --> 00:09:06,890
you place your attention is
where you place your energy.

156
00:09:06,890 --> 00:09:09,080
And the moment you're
sitting in your meditation

157
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,270
and you start putting
your attention

158
00:09:11,270 --> 00:09:13,970
on the emotions, familiar
emotions that are connected

159
00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:17,270
to the past, the
moment you start

160
00:09:17,270 --> 00:09:21,680
thinking about those memories
and feeling those emotions,

161
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:24,530
it makes sense, then, that
you're siphoning your attention

162
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:28,910
and energy out of the
present moment into the past.

163
00:09:28,910 --> 00:09:30,410
And if you're sitting
there thinking

164
00:09:30,410 --> 00:09:32,510
about the phone calls
you have to make,

165
00:09:32,510 --> 00:09:35,540
the meetings you have to go
to, the shopping list you have

166
00:09:35,540 --> 00:09:39,680
to get to, those
are all known things

167
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:42,620
in your predictable
future reality.

168
00:09:42,620 --> 00:09:45,200
And every time you
put your attention

169
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,630
on some predictable
future, you're

170
00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:50,360
siphoning energy out
of the present moment

171
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,760
into the predictable future.

172
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,980
And now your energy
is completely

173
00:09:54,980 --> 00:09:58,590
commingled with
that line of time.

174
00:09:58,590 --> 00:10:02,090
So then when you become
aware that your attention is

175
00:10:02,090 --> 00:10:04,220
on those emotions,
and you become aware

176
00:10:04,220 --> 00:10:07,790
and we turn your attention
back to the present moment,

177
00:10:07,790 --> 00:10:11,210
you're disinvesting your
attention and energy out

178
00:10:11,210 --> 00:10:14,030
of your past, present reality
and you're calling it back

179
00:10:14,030 --> 00:10:16,004
to you.

180
00:10:16,004 --> 00:10:19,220
Every time you do
that, it's a victory,

181
00:10:19,220 --> 00:10:20,660
and those victories add up.

182
00:10:24,588 --> 00:10:28,025
[MUSIC PLAYING]

183
00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:32,630
Now, the stronger
the emotion that you

184
00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:37,250
feel for some problem or
condition in your life,

185
00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:40,730
the more you pay
attention to the cause.

186
00:10:40,730 --> 00:10:43,280
Now, where you
place your attention

187
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,050
is where you place your energy.

188
00:10:46,050 --> 00:10:48,440
If you're sitting
in your meditation

189
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,020
and you're feeling a very
strong emotion that's

190
00:10:51,020 --> 00:10:54,230
connected to some
problem or some person,

191
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:57,080
we could say then that
you're giving your very life

192
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,860
force away to that
person or that problem.

193
00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:02,810
And that's available
energy that you could be

194
00:11:02,810 --> 00:11:06,080
using to create a new future.

195
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,630
So then as you sit in
your meditation practice,

196
00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:12,230
and your body is used to at
8 o'clock in the morning,

197
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:16,690
checking emails and getting
frustrated and judgemental,

198
00:11:16,690 --> 00:11:21,220
your body is going to notice
that you're off schedule,

199
00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:24,440
and it's looking
for those chemicals.

200
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,500
If you're aware that
your body is doing that,

201
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:31,520
and you settle your body back
down into the present moment

202
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,820
and you lower the
volume to that emotion,

203
00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:38,090
you're going to take your
attention off that person

204
00:11:38,090 --> 00:11:40,200
or that condition in your life.

205
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,810
And yes, it takes a greater
level of awareness, a greater

206
00:11:44,810 --> 00:11:49,460
level of energy to begin to
break those energetic bonds

207
00:11:49,460 --> 00:11:52,310
with everything in your
past, present reality

208
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:55,470
that you're connected
to emotionally.

209
00:11:55,470 --> 00:11:57,540
So then when a
person finally starts

210
00:11:57,540 --> 00:12:01,170
to overcome those
emotions, all of a sudden,

211
00:12:01,170 --> 00:12:04,110
they start calling
energy back to them,

212
00:12:04,110 --> 00:12:09,400
and they begin to build their
own electromagnetic field.

213
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,805
And now they have available
energy to design a new destiny.

214
00:12:18,483 --> 00:12:21,934
[MUSIC PLAYING]

215
00:12:23,420 --> 00:12:29,420
So think about meditation as a
form to get beyond your body,

216
00:12:29,420 --> 00:12:32,260
to get beyond your environment.

217
00:12:32,260 --> 00:12:34,730
And what is your
environment made of?

218
00:12:34,730 --> 00:12:40,560
People, objects, places,
everything material

219
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,490
in your three-dimensional
reality.

220
00:12:43,490 --> 00:12:47,120
If you keep your attention
on everything that's known,

221
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,670
you're going to create
more of the known.

222
00:12:49,670 --> 00:12:52,980
So then as you disconnect
from your body,

223
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:55,700
and you get beyond
all the elements known

224
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:58,550
in your outer
environment, and you

225
00:12:58,550 --> 00:13:03,140
keep working for the sweet spot
of the generous present moment,

226
00:13:03,140 --> 00:13:05,810
what you're saying
is, I want to begin

227
00:13:05,810 --> 00:13:08,780
to change the way
I think, and I want

228
00:13:08,780 --> 00:13:12,630
to be able to create
something new.

229
00:13:12,630 --> 00:13:15,650
So meditation, then,
allows us to move

230
00:13:15,650 --> 00:13:19,730
from living unconsciously
as a victim, in other words,

231
00:13:19,730 --> 00:13:22,220
allowing our outer world
to control our thoughts

232
00:13:22,220 --> 00:13:25,040
and feelings, to
consciously becoming

233
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,390
the creator of your life
so that your thoughts

234
00:13:29,390 --> 00:13:32,480
and feelings begin
to produce outcomes

235
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,040
in your outer environment.

236
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,460
And so then if you
do this properly,

237
00:13:37,460 --> 00:13:41,520
we should see changes in your
body, in your environment,

238
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,379
and in some future time.

239
00:13:43,379 --> 00:13:46,313
[MUSIC PLAYING]

240
00:13:58,540 --> 00:14:01,000
Now, the purpose
of meditation is

241
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,490
to get beyond your
analytical mind.

242
00:14:04,490 --> 00:14:07,150
Now, what separates
your conscious mind

243
00:14:07,150 --> 00:14:12,670
from your subconscious mind
is your analytical mind.

244
00:14:12,670 --> 00:14:17,140
When you're born, you're
totally subconscious mind.

245
00:14:17,140 --> 00:14:21,100
And we know this to be the case,
because children's brainwaves

246
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:25,810
for the first six years of their
life are in a very slow state,

247
00:14:25,810 --> 00:14:30,280
and it makes them very
suggestible to information.

248
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,370
In fact, they have no
analytical facilities.

249
00:14:33,370 --> 00:14:36,610
So all the information
that they're exposed to

250
00:14:36,610 --> 00:14:40,900
goes into their
subconscious mind unedited.

251
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:44,290
For example, big boys don't cry.

252
00:14:44,290 --> 00:14:47,080
Little girls should
be seen and not heard.

253
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,720
Money is the root of all evil.

254
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,450
And when children listen
to this information

255
00:14:52,450 --> 00:14:55,330
without analyzing
it, it begins to lay

256
00:14:55,330 --> 00:14:58,960
the foundation of who they will
become later on in their life

257
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,970
subconsciously.

258
00:15:01,970 --> 00:15:06,490
So if 95% of who we are by
the time we're 35 years old

259
00:15:06,490 --> 00:15:09,100
is our subconscious
mind, then it's

260
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:11,290
entirely possible
that children become

261
00:15:11,290 --> 00:15:14,980
programmed at a very early
age into some subconscious

262
00:15:14,980 --> 00:15:18,370
behaviors that they're not
even aware of because of things

263
00:15:18,370 --> 00:15:21,040
they've seen or been exposed
to with their parents

264
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,510
or primary caregivers.

265
00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:30,330
So then this circle
represents your mind.

266
00:15:30,330 --> 00:15:32,790
And you learn by these
different positive and negative

267
00:15:32,790 --> 00:15:35,550
identifications and
associations that

268
00:15:35,550 --> 00:15:39,300
give rise to your habits
and your behaviors.

269
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:43,080
A good example of a positive
identification or association

270
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,170
is when you're young and
you're hungry or uncomfortable

271
00:15:46,170 --> 00:15:48,420
and you cry out.

272
00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:51,090
And the moment you get
fed or the discomfort

273
00:15:51,090 --> 00:15:55,350
has been removed, you learn
to associate subconsciously

274
00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:58,140
crying out with being fed.

275
00:15:58,140 --> 00:16:01,110
So every time you're
uncomfortable or you're hungry

276
00:16:01,110 --> 00:16:04,740
and you cry out, that
behavior produces

277
00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:07,320
a response called getting fed.

278
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,350
And so a good example of
a negative association

279
00:16:10,350 --> 00:16:14,280
is when you're young and you're
exploring your environment,

280
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,740
and all of a sudden, you
walk over to the stove

281
00:16:16,740 --> 00:16:19,380
and you stick your
finger in the flame.

282
00:16:19,380 --> 00:16:23,370
The moment you notice a
change in your internal state,

283
00:16:23,370 --> 00:16:25,800
you pay attention
to the cause of it.

284
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,040
All of a sudden, you begin
to associate that pain

285
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,380
with that white
object in the kitchen.

286
00:16:31,380 --> 00:16:33,780
And all of a sudden, you
start developing a behavior

287
00:16:33,780 --> 00:16:35,400
around it.

288
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,530
And these positive and
negative identifications

289
00:16:37,530 --> 00:16:40,950
and associations begin
to lay the foundation

290
00:16:40,950 --> 00:16:43,490
of our subconscious
habits and behaviors.

291
00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:46,370
[MUSIC PLAYING]

292
00:16:53,090 --> 00:16:55,390
Now, because brain
waves are changing

293
00:16:55,390 --> 00:16:58,770
and the child is interacting
more in the environment,

294
00:16:58,770 --> 00:17:01,210
and as the child,
by trial and error,

295
00:17:01,210 --> 00:17:04,150
is noticing different feelings
or different experiences that

296
00:17:04,150 --> 00:17:06,819
produce different
emotions, when they

297
00:17:06,819 --> 00:17:08,829
start feeling new
emotions, they begin

298
00:17:08,829 --> 00:17:12,280
to pay attention to the
cause, their brainwaves

299
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,290
start to speed up and
they move into what's

300
00:17:14,290 --> 00:17:17,500
called alpha brainwave
patterns, and they

301
00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:20,510
begin to develop
their analytical mind.

302
00:17:20,510 --> 00:17:22,780
Now, the analytical
mind is exactly what

303
00:17:22,780 --> 00:17:26,720
separates the conscious mind
from the subconscious mind.

304
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,480
And as children's
brainwaves change

305
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,720
because they're interacting
with their environment,

306
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,570
somewhere between
the ages of 6 and 9,

307
00:17:34,570 --> 00:17:38,050
they begin to completely
form their analytical mind.

308
00:17:38,050 --> 00:17:40,450
Once that analytical
mind is formed,

309
00:17:40,450 --> 00:17:43,270
they begin to divide
the conscious mind

310
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:46,310
from the subconscious mind.

311
00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:48,220
Now, as we've been
saying all along,

312
00:17:48,220 --> 00:17:52,553
your conscious mind is
5% of your total mind.

313
00:17:52,553 --> 00:17:54,220
Your conscious mind
is made up of things

314
00:17:54,220 --> 00:17:56,230
like logic and reasoning,
which gives rise

315
00:17:56,230 --> 00:18:01,180
to your faith, your will,
and your creativity.

316
00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:04,270
Now, your subconscious mind,
as we've been saying all along,

317
00:18:04,270 --> 00:18:07,600
is made up of 95% of who
you are by the time you're

318
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,770
35 years old, and those are
all those hardwired attitudes,

319
00:18:11,770 --> 00:18:15,010
unconscious beliefs and
perceptions, subconscious

320
00:18:15,010 --> 00:18:17,380
habits and behaviors,
and that makes up

321
00:18:17,380 --> 00:18:18,630
the majority of who you are.

322
00:18:21,899 --> 00:18:23,300
[MUSIC PLAYING]

323
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:27,750
Now, the analytical mind
is always busy working.

324
00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:30,180
The analytic mind
is important for us,

325
00:18:30,180 --> 00:18:34,520
because we need our analytical
mind to survive in our life.

326
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,380
And because the brain
is divided in half,

327
00:18:37,380 --> 00:18:39,720
the analytical mind is
always weighing past

328
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:46,020
against future, right against
wrong, known against unknown.

329
00:18:46,020 --> 00:18:48,090
And because the
division of the brain

330
00:18:48,090 --> 00:18:52,050
allows us to navigate with our
analytical mind in our lives,

331
00:18:52,050 --> 00:18:53,610
we need it.

332
00:18:53,610 --> 00:18:57,240
We need our analytical mind
when we're learning new things.

333
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,370
We need our analytical
mind when we're navigating

334
00:18:59,370 --> 00:19:01,692
in our life ethically.

335
00:19:01,692 --> 00:19:03,150
We need our analytical
mind when we

336
00:19:03,150 --> 00:19:05,040
need to make decisions
and choices that

337
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,710
are really important.

338
00:19:07,710 --> 00:19:10,800
But when you throw in
the hormones of stress,

339
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,460
and the brain becomes aroused
because of the emergency state

340
00:19:14,460 --> 00:19:18,810
the brain is in, we
become overly analytical.

341
00:19:18,810 --> 00:19:21,840
When people are
analyzing their lives

342
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,360
within some disturbing
emotion that

343
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:26,250
are derived from the
hormones of stress,

344
00:19:26,250 --> 00:19:30,000
and those emotions are familiar
emotions from the past,

345
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,460
by thinking in the
box of the past,

346
00:19:33,460 --> 00:19:37,380
they drive their brain further
into a more aroused state,

347
00:19:37,380 --> 00:19:40,320
and they're moving
further away from moving

348
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,270
into those subconscious
states where

349
00:19:42,270 --> 00:19:43,590
they can begin to make change.

350
00:19:43,590 --> 00:19:46,255
[MUSIC PLAYING]

351
00:19:55,370 --> 00:19:57,170
So the whole purpose
of meditation,

352
00:19:57,170 --> 00:20:00,980
then, is to get beyond
the analytical mind

353
00:20:00,980 --> 00:20:04,430
and enter the operating system
where those subconscious

354
00:20:04,430 --> 00:20:06,710
programs exist.

355
00:20:06,710 --> 00:20:10,490
So then we can begin to
take limited beliefs,

356
00:20:10,490 --> 00:20:12,980
unconscious habits
and behaviors,

357
00:20:12,980 --> 00:20:16,790
and begin to reprogram them,
become more self-serving

358
00:20:16,790 --> 00:20:18,900
or more effective.

359
00:20:18,900 --> 00:20:22,100
Now, you can't change
the subconscious mind

360
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:23,690
with your conscious mind.

361
00:20:23,690 --> 00:20:25,940
You have to get beyond
the analytical mind

362
00:20:25,940 --> 00:20:28,350
in order to do that.

363
00:20:28,350 --> 00:20:31,130
So some people have
a very thin veil

364
00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:34,490
between their conscious mind
and their subconscious mind.

365
00:20:34,490 --> 00:20:37,160
And the thinner the veil
between your conscious mind

366
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,770
and subconscious
mind, the more you

367
00:20:39,770 --> 00:20:42,810
are suggestible to information.

368
00:20:42,810 --> 00:20:45,290
In other words,
just like the child,

369
00:20:45,290 --> 00:20:48,770
that information can enter
the subconscious mind

370
00:20:48,770 --> 00:20:51,080
and begin to have
an effect on us.

371
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,480
So we want to be
more suggestible

372
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,210
during the meditative
process because we

373
00:20:56,210 --> 00:21:00,650
want to accept, believe, and
surrender to certain thoughts

374
00:21:00,650 --> 00:21:03,890
without analyzing it so
we can begin to program

375
00:21:03,890 --> 00:21:06,680
our subconscious mind.

376
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,650
So then others have a very
thick veil or thick barrier

377
00:21:11,650 --> 00:21:14,800
between their conscious mind
and their subconscious mind

378
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,550
and they're less
suggestible to information.

379
00:21:18,550 --> 00:21:20,650
And suggestibility
is your ability

380
00:21:20,650 --> 00:21:23,170
to accept, believe, and
surrender to information

381
00:21:23,170 --> 00:21:26,470
without analyzing it,
so the information

382
00:21:26,470 --> 00:21:29,680
doesn't pass through the
analytical mind as easily.

383
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,130
So then the more analytical
you are, the less suggestible

384
00:21:33,130 --> 00:21:35,530
you are to information.

385
00:21:35,530 --> 00:21:38,680
The less analytical you
are, the more suggestible

386
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,890
you are to information.

387
00:21:40,890 --> 00:21:43,770
[MUSIC PLAYING]

388
00:21:47,620 --> 00:21:51,150
When you learn how to
control your brainwaves

389
00:21:51,150 --> 00:21:53,760
and move into a
state of trance, you

390
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,820
pause in your brain, and
your brain kind of moves

391
00:21:56,820 --> 00:21:59,200
into stasis.

392
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,240
And in that state where you're
not thinking and analyzing

393
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,010
and you're in a state
of trance, you're

394
00:22:05,010 --> 00:22:09,450
more suggestible to information,
and you move your brainwaves

395
00:22:09,450 --> 00:22:13,380
from the thinking, conscious
mind into a slower brainwave

396
00:22:13,380 --> 00:22:16,860
pattern in the
subconscious mind.

397
00:22:16,860 --> 00:22:20,850
It also makes sense that as
you increase your brainwaves,

398
00:22:20,850 --> 00:22:22,400
you're all of a
sudden increasing

399
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,150
your analytical
facilities, because you're

400
00:22:24,150 --> 00:22:28,590
thinking and analyzing more,
and your brain is less trance,

401
00:22:28,590 --> 00:22:31,630
and you're less
suggestible to information.

402
00:22:31,630 --> 00:22:34,770
So in the meditative
process, as we

403
00:22:34,770 --> 00:22:36,930
begin to reprogram
those subconscious

404
00:22:36,930 --> 00:22:41,550
states of mind and body, what we
want to do is learn the skill,

405
00:22:41,550 --> 00:22:45,480
learn the formula, apply
the tools to practice

406
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,580
getting beyond the
analytical mind

407
00:22:47,580 --> 00:22:51,000
so that you can begin to make
those subconscious changes that

408
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,210
become more permanent.

409
00:22:54,210 --> 00:22:57,360
So when you're living in
a subconscious program,

410
00:22:57,360 --> 00:23:00,390
just like a program
on your computer,

411
00:23:00,390 --> 00:23:05,190
the moment you press play or
start, it runs automatically.

412
00:23:05,190 --> 00:23:09,270
That's exactly what
happens subconsciously.

413
00:23:09,270 --> 00:23:12,390
And many people have
subconscious programs

414
00:23:12,390 --> 00:23:14,250
that are defining their lives.

415
00:23:14,250 --> 00:23:16,920
Even though their conscious
mind wants something else,

416
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,130
their subconscious mind may
be sabotaging their outcome.

417
00:23:21,130 --> 00:23:23,910
So then we have to begin to
reprogram that subconscious

418
00:23:23,910 --> 00:23:26,220
mind and begin to
write a new program.

419
00:23:26,220 --> 00:23:29,112
[MUSIC PLAYING]

420
00:23:35,390 --> 00:23:37,590
So now that I've
laid out the basics

421
00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:40,380
of the model of
meditation and how

422
00:23:40,380 --> 00:23:45,430
you can transcend your
analytical mind, your body,

423
00:23:45,430 --> 00:23:48,930
your environment, as
well as the familiar past

424
00:23:48,930 --> 00:23:51,330
and the predictable
future in time,

425
00:23:51,330 --> 00:23:54,180
in order to create a
new life, shouldn't we

426
00:23:54,180 --> 00:23:57,770
be meditating on a daily basis?

427
00:23:57,770 --> 00:24:00,420
And we live in two
states of mind.

428
00:24:00,420 --> 00:24:03,570
We either live in a
state of survival,

429
00:24:03,570 --> 00:24:06,570
or we live in a
state of creation.

430
00:24:06,570 --> 00:24:10,950
And living in survival
is living in stress.

431
00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:12,720
And the majority of
people in this world

432
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,900
spend the majority of
their time living in stress

433
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:18,960
and living in survival.

434
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,210
In that state, it's
impossible to create.

435
00:24:24,140 --> 00:24:26,330
In the next episode,
we will delve

436
00:24:26,330 --> 00:24:29,900
into survival versus creation,
and how you can further

437
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:34,100
understand stress and what it
can do to you and your life.

438
00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:36,670
I'm your host, Dr. Joe
Dispenza for "Rewired."

439
00:24:36,670 --> 00:24:38,840
And I hope to see you in
the next episode, where

440
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,630
we go beyond the ordinary
into the extraordinary.
