1 00:00:00,966 --> 00:00:04,347 [MUSIC PLAYING] 2 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,790 Have you ever had a lucid dream, 3 00:00:13,790 --> 00:00:18,200 an out-of-body experience, or a mystical moment that caused you 4 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,780 to change your view about the world we live in? 5 00:00:20,780 --> 00:00:22,880 Have you ever wondered how that happened 6 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,663 or even why it happened? 7 00:00:24,663 --> 00:00:26,330 And have you ever had the desire to have 8 00:00:26,330 --> 00:00:28,560 another similar experience? 9 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,119 It is that transcendental moment where we abandon everything 10 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:34,580 that we know and we begin to experience 11 00:00:34,580 --> 00:00:37,760 the realm of the unknown, as if the mystery of the self 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,130 is being revealed to us. 13 00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:43,710 I'm your host Dr. Joe Dispenza, and in the previous episode, 14 00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:48,020 we compared the realms of space-time and time-space. 15 00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:51,440 The material world, the realm of three-dimensional reality, 16 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,080 the world of the senses, where everything takes time 17 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,690 to happen, to the immaterial world, 18 00:00:56,690 --> 00:00:59,870 the realm of the fifth dimension of reality and beyond. 19 00:00:59,870 --> 00:01:05,180 The world beyond the senses, made of energy and frequency. 20 00:01:05,180 --> 00:01:07,220 In the next two episodes I would like 21 00:01:07,220 --> 00:01:10,040 to demystify the mystical by combining 22 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,480 the science of that lucid world that seems so real to us 23 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,180 in the moment with ancient wisdom 24 00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:20,300 to show you latent systems in your brain and body 25 00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:23,210 that once activated will take you to realms 26 00:01:23,210 --> 00:01:25,370 beyond space and time. 27 00:01:25,370 --> 00:01:28,280 It is in this place that ancient civilizations, 28 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,760 which thrived for thousands of years, were the most interested 29 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,170 in. 30 00:01:33,170 --> 00:01:35,960 It is my hope that everything you learn in this episode 31 00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:38,330 will demystify the mystical so that you 32 00:01:38,330 --> 00:01:41,750 can begin to explore a transcendental world that 33 00:01:41,750 --> 00:01:44,556 exists beyond your senses. 34 00:01:44,556 --> 00:01:48,007 [MUSIC PLAYING] 35 00:01:59,350 --> 00:02:02,890 Let's start with introducing you to the pineal gland and two 36 00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:07,690 important neurotransmitters, serotonin and melatonin. 37 00:02:07,690 --> 00:02:10,780 Let's start with the word pe-nial or pineal, 38 00:02:10,780 --> 00:02:13,110 both pronunciations are correct. 39 00:02:13,110 --> 00:02:17,500 Pineal or pe-nial meaning pinecone shape. 40 00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:20,980 The pineal gland, it looks just like a pinecone. 41 00:02:20,980 --> 00:02:24,620 There's no coincidence that it's called pinecone shaped. 42 00:02:24,620 --> 00:02:27,640 Now, the pineal gland is a tiny little gland 43 00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:31,240 a little bigger than the size of a grain of rice. 44 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,270 It's right between the back of your throat 45 00:02:34,270 --> 00:02:36,220 and the back of your head. 46 00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:38,680 And it's important to know exactly where it 47 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,640 is because when we begin to practice activating 48 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:45,100 the pineal gland, you're going to have 49 00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:47,560 to become aware of where it exists and put 50 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,120 your attention on it. 51 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,590 And where you place your attention 52 00:02:50,590 --> 00:02:52,480 is where you place your energy. 53 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,400 And the more you pay attention to it, 54 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,670 the more you become aware of it, the more you stay present 55 00:02:57,670 --> 00:03:00,940 with it, the more you begin to put energy 56 00:03:00,940 --> 00:03:03,676 to begin to activate it. 57 00:03:03,676 --> 00:03:09,460 The pineal gland is very sensitive to visible light, 58 00:03:09,460 --> 00:03:12,040 light that's coming from the sun or light that's 59 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,040 coming from lights that we have in our homes 60 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,060 or in our offices, that wavelength of light. 61 00:03:19,060 --> 00:03:22,930 Once light is perceived when our eyes are open, 62 00:03:22,930 --> 00:03:26,680 the frequency of light is picked up by the optic nerve. 63 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,250 And it sends a signal right to a nucleus in the brain called 64 00:03:30,250 --> 00:03:32,770 the suprachiasmic nucleus. 65 00:03:32,770 --> 00:03:36,350 That nucleus signals the sympathetic nervous system, 66 00:03:36,350 --> 00:03:38,320 which signals the pineal gland. 67 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,320 And the pineal gland gets busy making a neurotransmitter 68 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,840 called serotonin. 69 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,960 And serotonin is the daytime neurotransmitter 70 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,890 that once activated begins to cause us to become aware 71 00:03:50,890 --> 00:03:53,260 that we're local in space and time, 72 00:03:53,260 --> 00:03:55,900 and we become conscious that we're our bodies 73 00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:58,120 in an environment and in time. 74 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,960 And it produces a certain brainwave frequency called 75 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,580 beta brainwave frequencies. 76 00:04:04,580 --> 00:04:06,490 It is beta brainwaves that causes 77 00:04:06,490 --> 00:04:10,300 us to put most of our attention on the outer world. 78 00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:12,970 Now, the release of serotonin then gets us up 79 00:04:12,970 --> 00:04:16,339 and gets us busy during the day. 80 00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:20,769 This graphic represents that small frequency 81 00:04:20,769 --> 00:04:24,580 of visible light that exists in the entire electromagnetic 82 00:04:24,580 --> 00:04:25,570 spectrum. 83 00:04:25,570 --> 00:04:29,950 And it's that tiny little sliver of all of reality 84 00:04:29,950 --> 00:04:33,870 that our eyes and our senses are the most sensitive to. 85 00:04:33,870 --> 00:04:35,680 When there is an inhibition of light 86 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,240 or there's a lack of light, the lack of the wavelength of light 87 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,590 that usually hits the back of the eye, the optic nerve, 88 00:04:44,590 --> 00:04:49,880 begins to diminish the release of serotonin in the brain. 89 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,700 And so the inhibition of light signals 90 00:04:51,700 --> 00:04:53,380 the same nucleus in the brain called 91 00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:56,770 the suprachiasmic nucleus, which then dampens down 92 00:04:56,770 --> 00:04:58,690 the sympathetic nervous system. 93 00:04:58,690 --> 00:05:00,790 And now the pineal gland begins to make 94 00:05:00,790 --> 00:05:03,190 a chemical called melatonin. 95 00:05:03,190 --> 00:05:07,340 And melatonin is the nighttime neurotransmitter. 96 00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:12,080 And as melatonin levels begin to rise because of darkness 97 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,840 in the evening, then all of a sudden, 98 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:17,330 we begin to slow our brainwaves down 99 00:05:17,330 --> 00:05:22,010 into alpha, and theta, and ultimately delta. 100 00:05:22,010 --> 00:05:24,470 And its melatonin then that allows our body 101 00:05:24,470 --> 00:05:27,290 to restore and regenerate. 102 00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:29,720 So serotonin gets us up in the morning, 103 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,850 and melatonin puts us to bed at night. 104 00:05:32,850 --> 00:05:35,750 And those are two important neurotransmitters 105 00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:39,650 that function in a rhythm called the circadian rhythm. 106 00:05:39,650 --> 00:05:42,500 And when you live in a certain environment in a certain place 107 00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:46,610 in the world, and as the sun comes up and the sun goes down, 108 00:05:46,610 --> 00:05:51,090 your brain chemistry becomes entrained to light. 109 00:05:51,090 --> 00:05:53,570 There's an amino acid called L-tryptophan 110 00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:58,460 that is the raw material or the building block of serotonin 111 00:05:58,460 --> 00:05:59,990 and melatonin. 112 00:05:59,990 --> 00:06:03,590 L-tryptophan is turned into 5-hydroxytryptophan, 113 00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:07,400 which is called 5-HTP, which then another chemical cycle 114 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,880 takes place, and all of a sudden we have serotonin. 115 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,180 Serotonin goes through another biological process, 116 00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:16,250 biochemical process, and it's turned 117 00:06:16,250 --> 00:06:21,680 into N-acetylserotonin, which ultimately becomes melatonin. 118 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,760 So very simple chemical pathways in the pineal gland 119 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,790 that is the alchemist in the back of the brain that 120 00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:32,000 facilitates this process based on the wavelength 121 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,060 or the frequency of visible light. 122 00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:38,840 Melatonin levels are at their highest during a 24-hour cycle 123 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:41,390 between 1 AM and 4 AM. 124 00:06:41,390 --> 00:06:43,370 And that's important for you to know 125 00:06:43,370 --> 00:06:46,640 because when we do the meditation to activate 126 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,640 this ancient gland in the back of the brain, 127 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,910 it's always important to know that it's a good idea to wake 128 00:06:52,910 --> 00:06:57,550 up early enough when the raw materials are at their height. 129 00:06:57,550 --> 00:07:02,810 Melatonin levels tend to go down as stress hormone levels go up. 130 00:07:02,810 --> 00:07:06,220 And that is a very, very adaptive function 131 00:07:06,220 --> 00:07:10,040 over thousands of years of trial and error in environment. 132 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,930 So when there is a stressful event, a dangerous event, 133 00:07:13,930 --> 00:07:17,230 when there's a perception of something threatening 134 00:07:17,230 --> 00:07:20,650 in the environment, we turn on that stress hormones, 135 00:07:20,650 --> 00:07:23,350 the fight-or-flight nervous system, the sympathetic nervous 136 00:07:23,350 --> 00:07:26,380 system, and now we're prepared for danger. 137 00:07:26,380 --> 00:07:30,670 So as long as we're perceiving a threat in the outer world, 138 00:07:30,670 --> 00:07:32,860 it makes sense then it's not a good idea 139 00:07:32,860 --> 00:07:35,740 to go to sleep because sleeping means you would be more 140 00:07:35,740 --> 00:07:38,650 vulnerable and possibly prey. 141 00:07:38,650 --> 00:07:41,980 So as melatonin levels go down as stress hormones go up, 142 00:07:41,980 --> 00:07:43,870 our sleep patterns are interrupted 143 00:07:43,870 --> 00:07:46,930 because the very raw material that causes us to sleep 144 00:07:46,930 --> 00:07:48,670 is diminished. 145 00:07:48,670 --> 00:07:53,140 Now, as stress levels go down and we're out of survival, 146 00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:56,980 out of emergency mode, then melatonin levels go up, 147 00:07:56,980 --> 00:08:02,210 and the body can restore, regenerate, and repair. 148 00:08:02,210 --> 00:08:04,270 Now, melatonin, the research on it 149 00:08:04,270 --> 00:08:06,880 has been profoundly interesting because there's 150 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,540 so many important biological processes 151 00:08:10,540 --> 00:08:13,090 that melatonin is involved in. 152 00:08:13,090 --> 00:08:17,410 Melatonin promotes DNA repair and replication. 153 00:08:17,410 --> 00:08:22,130 It stops cortisol oversecretion in response to stress. 154 00:08:22,130 --> 00:08:24,370 In other words, if your melatonin levels 155 00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:27,370 begin to go up, your stress hormone levels go down. 156 00:08:27,370 --> 00:08:30,790 And a little administration or a little addition of melatonin 157 00:08:30,790 --> 00:08:33,220 sometimes is enough to jump start us 158 00:08:33,220 --> 00:08:36,100 to move into restorative sleep. 159 00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:38,990 It also improved carbohydrate metabolism. 160 00:08:38,990 --> 00:08:44,049 Now, this is an interesting concept because in antiquity, 161 00:08:44,049 --> 00:08:48,100 when we were stressed or living in survival, many times 162 00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:51,410 it meant famine or the lack of food. 163 00:08:51,410 --> 00:08:54,580 So when the survival gene is switched on, 164 00:08:54,580 --> 00:08:56,530 all of a sudden, now the body's going 165 00:08:56,530 --> 00:08:59,470 to take carbohydrates and store them 166 00:08:59,470 --> 00:09:03,860 as fats so that we have a reserve of energy in the body. 167 00:09:03,860 --> 00:09:07,360 So people who are constantly under stress always 168 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,630 are taking carbohydrates and storing them as fats. 169 00:09:10,630 --> 00:09:14,230 Melatonin tends to break that cycle. 170 00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:16,540 It lowers triglyceride levels. 171 00:09:16,540 --> 00:09:20,530 It inhibited atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. 172 00:09:20,530 --> 00:09:25,630 It heightens both cellular and metabolic immune responses. 173 00:09:25,630 --> 00:09:27,970 It decreased certain tumor developments 174 00:09:27,970 --> 00:09:29,800 in laboratory animals. 175 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,570 In certain laboratory animals, it increased lifespan by 25%. 176 00:09:34,570 --> 00:09:37,330 It has a very important neuroprotective role 177 00:09:37,330 --> 00:09:38,440 in the brain. 178 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,050 It increases REM sleep. 179 00:09:41,050 --> 00:09:45,800 It is an important free radical scavenger, an antioxidant. 180 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,530 Now, antioxidant means anti-cancer, anti-aging, 181 00:09:50,530 --> 00:09:55,150 anti-heart disease, anti-stroke, anti-neurodegenerative, 182 00:09:55,150 --> 00:09:58,000 anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial. 183 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,940 And I want you to remember these important points 184 00:10:00,940 --> 00:10:03,550 about melatonin because melatonin 185 00:10:03,550 --> 00:10:09,340 is essential for our bodies to repair and regenerate. 186 00:10:09,340 --> 00:10:13,420 This is the ancient symbol from the Egyptian culture called 187 00:10:13,420 --> 00:10:15,130 the Eye of Horus. 188 00:10:15,130 --> 00:10:19,270 Next to it, this is what's called a sagittal section 189 00:10:19,270 --> 00:10:20,120 of the brain. 190 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,270 Now, if you took the two halves of the brain, 191 00:10:22,270 --> 00:10:24,400 and you divided them right down the middle, 192 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,860 and you pulled them apart, you would be looking 193 00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:29,350 at a side view of the brain. 194 00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:32,680 And there's a very striking resemblance 195 00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,680 between the limbic brain, the seat 196 00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:39,880 of the autonomic nervous system, and the Eye of Horus. 197 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,670 And it's important for you to understand that this represents 198 00:10:42,670 --> 00:10:45,010 some type of inner vision. 199 00:10:45,010 --> 00:10:49,060 Pineal gland has been known to be called the third eye 200 00:10:49,060 --> 00:10:52,930 because once it's stimulated and activated to the next level, 201 00:10:52,930 --> 00:10:55,240 it gives us profound inner vision. 202 00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:02,490 This is called Fibonacci's constant or the golden mean. 203 00:11:02,490 --> 00:11:06,420 If you were to follow that golden mean right 204 00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:08,650 around the circumference of the brain, 205 00:11:08,650 --> 00:11:13,200 it would wind up at the exact spot of where the pineal gland 206 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,180 exists in the brain. 207 00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:18,000 And many different things in nature, 208 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,610 from the universe to seashells to the inner shape of a flower 209 00:11:23,610 --> 00:11:27,360 all represent this golden mean pattern. 210 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,300 Now, pineal gland has a simple vein, artery, 211 00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:33,810 and nerve moving in and a vein, artery, and nerve moving out, 212 00:11:33,810 --> 00:11:38,280 and it has a very rich and dense blood supply. 213 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,530 Take a look at this article that I discovered, 214 00:11:40,530 --> 00:11:43,800 "Characterisation and Potential Role of Electromechanical 215 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,240 Transduction-- 216 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,620 New Crystals in the Pineal Gland." 217 00:11:47,620 --> 00:11:50,940 Now, the abstract says the pineal gland 218 00:11:50,940 --> 00:11:53,790 is a neuroendocrine transducer secreting 219 00:11:53,790 --> 00:11:58,170 melatonin, responsible for the physiological circadian rhythm 220 00:11:58,170 --> 00:11:59,730 control. 221 00:11:59,730 --> 00:12:02,790 A new form of biomineralization has been studied 222 00:12:02,790 --> 00:12:04,860 in the human pineal gland. 223 00:12:04,860 --> 00:12:07,380 It consists of small crystals that are 224 00:12:07,380 --> 00:12:10,920 less than 20 microns in length. 225 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,050 These crystals could be responsible 226 00:12:13,050 --> 00:12:16,320 for an electromechanical biological transduction 227 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,480 mechanism in the pineal gland. 228 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,620 Due to their structure and their Piezoelectric properties. 229 00:12:22,620 --> 00:12:25,500 Now, that's a mouthful of words, but there's 230 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:28,470 only two words that I want you to pay attention to-- 231 00:12:28,470 --> 00:12:32,160 Piezoelectric properties and transducer. 232 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,330 Just remember those. 233 00:12:33,330 --> 00:12:37,890 Now, in the next page, it says the pineal gland microcrystals 234 00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:42,270 appear as a stack of thin rhombohedrons 235 00:12:42,270 --> 00:12:46,050 with their flat surfaces normal to the long axis 236 00:12:46,050 --> 00:12:47,280 of the crystal. 237 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,500 If you were to visualize that, you 238 00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:53,790 have these calcium carbonate or calcite crystals 239 00:12:53,790 --> 00:12:56,370 that are rhombohedron in shape that 240 00:12:56,370 --> 00:13:00,150 are stacked on top of each other in the pineal gland. 241 00:13:00,150 --> 00:13:03,360 And when you apply a mechanical stress, 242 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,570 and you begin to compress those crystals, 243 00:13:06,570 --> 00:13:08,970 the compression of those crystals 244 00:13:08,970 --> 00:13:13,320 begins to produce an external electromagnetic field 245 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,550 or begins to take one form of energy, mechanical stress, 246 00:13:17,550 --> 00:13:20,595 and turn it into another form of energy, an electrical charge. 247 00:13:23,230 --> 00:13:25,600 These are those rhombohedron crystals that 248 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,010 were in the previous article. 249 00:13:27,010 --> 00:13:29,800 And you have them in your pineal gland. 250 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,580 In fact, many vertebrates have the same crystals 251 00:13:33,580 --> 00:13:35,440 in their pineal gland. 252 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,790 Homing pigeons, as an example, have these tiny crystals, just 253 00:13:39,790 --> 00:13:42,460 like you, that are very sensitive 254 00:13:42,460 --> 00:13:44,500 to electromagnetic energy. 255 00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:48,190 And because the Earth has its own electromagnetic field, 256 00:13:48,190 --> 00:13:52,930 the pigeons can actually tune into the strongest signal, 257 00:13:52,930 --> 00:13:56,140 and they can navigate from one place to another place 258 00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:59,380 because they're sensitive to electromagnetism. 259 00:13:59,380 --> 00:14:01,690 And that's information they're picking up 260 00:14:01,690 --> 00:14:05,200 that's transcendent of their senses. 261 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,010 I want to talk about Piezoelectric effects. 262 00:14:09,010 --> 00:14:14,020 So Piezoelectric effect is the ability of certain materials 263 00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:17,500 to generate an electrical charge in response 264 00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:20,020 to an applied mechanical stress. 265 00:14:20,020 --> 00:14:22,330 The word Piezoelectric is derived 266 00:14:22,330 --> 00:14:27,360 from the Greek piezein, which means to squeeze or press, 267 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,210 and piezo in Greek, which means to push. 268 00:14:31,210 --> 00:14:32,950 Now, one of the unique characteristics 269 00:14:32,950 --> 00:14:37,310 of the Piezoelectric effect is that it is reversible, 270 00:14:37,310 --> 00:14:39,220 meaning that the materials exhibiting 271 00:14:39,220 --> 00:14:41,740 the direct Piezoelectric effect-- 272 00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:44,200 that's the generation of electricity 273 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,630 when stress is applied-- 274 00:14:46,630 --> 00:14:51,130 also exhibit a converse Piezoelectric effect, 275 00:14:51,130 --> 00:14:55,480 the generation of stress when an electrical field is applied. 276 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,210 Stay with me because when Piezoelectric material is 277 00:14:58,210 --> 00:15:01,210 placed under mechanical stress, a shifting 278 00:15:01,210 --> 00:15:03,940 of positive and negative charges centers 279 00:15:03,940 --> 00:15:07,150 in the material, which then results 280 00:15:07,150 --> 00:15:10,090 in an external electrical field. 281 00:15:10,090 --> 00:15:12,850 When reversed, the outer electrical field 282 00:15:12,850 --> 00:15:19,590 either stretches or compresses the Piezoelectric material. 283 00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:21,870 Now, that's a lot of words, but I 284 00:15:21,870 --> 00:15:24,690 want you to hang in there with me now because I'm going 285 00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:26,940 to demystify that process. 286 00:15:26,940 --> 00:15:30,690 How is it then can we compress those crystals 287 00:15:30,690 --> 00:15:31,890 inside our brain? 288 00:15:31,890 --> 00:15:34,020 How can we apply mechanical stress. 289 00:15:34,020 --> 00:15:38,310 If our brain is encased in this ivory cavern called our skull, 290 00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:42,690 how are we going to get in there and compress those crystals? 291 00:15:42,690 --> 00:15:47,640 Inside your skull, your spinal column, 292 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,530 and the bone at the base of your spine 293 00:15:49,530 --> 00:15:52,290 called your sacrum is the most delicate system 294 00:15:52,290 --> 00:15:55,300 in your body called the central nervous system. 295 00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:57,510 In fact, without the aid of your nervous system, 296 00:15:57,510 --> 00:16:00,660 you couldn't digest your food, you couldn't void your bladder, 297 00:16:00,660 --> 00:16:02,130 you couldn't blink your eyes. 298 00:16:02,130 --> 00:16:05,140 You couldn't move without the aid of your nervous system. 299 00:16:05,140 --> 00:16:08,040 So think of your nervous system as the electrical wires 300 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,170 that run the machine. 301 00:16:10,170 --> 00:16:13,620 Inside this closed system is fluid 302 00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:16,640 called cerebrospinal fluid. 303 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,070 And cerebrospinal fluid has some basic functions. 304 00:16:20,070 --> 00:16:24,450 It acts to create buoyancy in the central nervous system. 305 00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:28,080 It acts to have a neuroprotective role for trauma 306 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,080 in case there's movement or deceleration. 307 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,710 It's the fluid that protects the brain and the spinal cord 308 00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:36,600 against bony edges. 309 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,520 It acts to transport fluids and other chemicals and nutrients 310 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,170 to different parts of the brain in the nervous system. 311 00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:46,920 And finally, it has an important role 312 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,610 to enhance conductivity or electrical charges 313 00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:51,540 in the nervous system. 314 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,870 When you inhale, the sutures of your skull open up. 315 00:16:59,870 --> 00:17:03,670 And when you exhale, the sutures of your skull close. 316 00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:06,160 At the same time, at the base of your spine 317 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,760 where that sacrum bone exists, when you inhale, 318 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,339 that sacrum bone flexes back. 319 00:17:12,339 --> 00:17:15,670 And when you exhale, that sacrum bone flexes forward. 320 00:17:15,670 --> 00:17:17,950 So visualize this with me. 321 00:17:17,950 --> 00:17:21,190 The inhalation causes the sutures to open up. 322 00:17:21,190 --> 00:17:23,349 There's more volume in the skull. 323 00:17:23,349 --> 00:17:25,960 And the sacrum bone flexing back causes 324 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,800 that cerebral spinal fluid to drain down in gravity. 325 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,740 When you exhale, and the sacrum bone flexes forward, 326 00:17:32,740 --> 00:17:35,800 and the system closes down, and those sutures close, 327 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,820 it begins to propagate a wave to move the cerebral spinal fluid 328 00:17:39,820 --> 00:17:41,690 up against gravity. 329 00:17:41,690 --> 00:17:43,990 Now, if you were to charge one molecule 330 00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:47,290 of cerebrospinal fluid, and tag it, and follow it 331 00:17:47,290 --> 00:17:50,050 during the course of the day, that cerebral spinal fluid 332 00:17:50,050 --> 00:17:52,180 would move from the base of your spine, 333 00:17:52,180 --> 00:17:56,020 all the way up through four different chambers 334 00:17:56,020 --> 00:17:59,260 called aqueducts or ventricles in the brain, 335 00:17:59,260 --> 00:18:01,960 pass all the way through, and come all the way down. 336 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,990 It would take 12 hours for a healthy person 337 00:18:04,990 --> 00:18:07,840 to begin to move that cerebrospinal fluid all the way 338 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,410 through that system. 339 00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:12,240 So in a sense, we flush our brains twice a day. 340 00:18:14,750 --> 00:18:19,210 What would happen if you were to contract the intrinsic muscles 341 00:18:19,210 --> 00:18:23,110 in your body, the muscles you use for elimination, 342 00:18:23,110 --> 00:18:26,220 the muscles you use for intercourse, you 343 00:18:26,220 --> 00:18:28,150 were to contract your lower abdomen, 344 00:18:28,150 --> 00:18:31,300 pull your belly button in towards your spine, 345 00:18:31,300 --> 00:18:33,130 and contract your upper abdomen? 346 00:18:33,130 --> 00:18:36,400 The act of contracting these intrinsic muscles 347 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,700 in the ancient yoga tradition called the Bandhas. 348 00:18:39,700 --> 00:18:41,590 As you squeeze these muscles, you 349 00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:45,070 begin to push that cerebral spinal fluid up. 350 00:18:45,070 --> 00:18:50,080 Now, what if you were to take one slow, steady breath. 351 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,020 And as you slowly follow your breath, 352 00:18:53,020 --> 00:18:55,413 and you contract those intrinsic muscles, 353 00:18:55,413 --> 00:18:57,580 as you follow your breath, and you bring that breath 354 00:18:57,580 --> 00:18:59,710 all the way up to that pineal gland, 355 00:18:59,710 --> 00:19:02,140 and you hold your breath, and you keep your attention 356 00:19:02,140 --> 00:19:03,340 on that pineal gland. 357 00:19:03,340 --> 00:19:04,870 That's your target. 358 00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:07,960 The act of contracting those muscles along 359 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,910 with the holding of your breath would 360 00:19:09,910 --> 00:19:14,820 begin to push cerebrospinal fluid right up into your brain. 361 00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:16,990 And as you begin to hold your breath, 362 00:19:16,990 --> 00:19:20,470 you're pushing that cerebrospinal fluid right up 363 00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:22,780 against the crystals of the pineal gland 364 00:19:22,780 --> 00:19:25,660 and applying a mechanical stress. 365 00:19:25,660 --> 00:19:30,220 And then the mechanical stress begins to electrically activate 366 00:19:30,220 --> 00:19:31,660 those crystals. 367 00:19:31,660 --> 00:19:34,720 And when those crystals become electrically activated, 368 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,910 we are turning on the radio receiver in the brain. 369 00:19:39,910 --> 00:19:43,420 Now, take a look at the ventricles in your brain. 370 00:19:43,420 --> 00:19:47,530 You have a fourth ventricle that sits close to the brain stem. 371 00:19:47,530 --> 00:19:49,060 Take a look at the third ventricle. 372 00:19:49,060 --> 00:19:53,320 That place right there, that corner right there 373 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,660 is where the pineal gland sits in the dead end. 374 00:19:55,660 --> 00:19:58,210 And then you have two lateral ventricles. 375 00:19:58,210 --> 00:20:00,520 Now take a look at this. 376 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,180 This is the ventricles, and it looks a lot 377 00:20:04,180 --> 00:20:08,510 like that Eye of Horus that we were talking about. 378 00:20:08,510 --> 00:20:10,370 Here's the movement of that fluid. 379 00:20:10,370 --> 00:20:13,940 You can see that it comes up from the body to the brain. 380 00:20:13,940 --> 00:20:16,580 It passes through all of those aqueducts. 381 00:20:16,580 --> 00:20:19,850 It travels along the surface of the top of the neocortex, 382 00:20:19,850 --> 00:20:23,220 and it drains all the way back down. 383 00:20:23,220 --> 00:20:26,570 So then when you inhale, and take a slow, steady breath, 384 00:20:26,570 --> 00:20:30,480 and coordinate that breath with a contraction of muscles, what 385 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,230 you're doing now is you're delivering energy 386 00:20:33,230 --> 00:20:36,600 into the brain by electrically activating it. 387 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,400 This is a magnet. 388 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,850 A magnet has a north pole and a south pole. 389 00:20:40,850 --> 00:20:43,310 And the stronger the polarity between the north pole 390 00:20:43,310 --> 00:20:45,530 and the south pole, the stronger there 391 00:20:45,530 --> 00:20:47,660 is an invisible electromagnetic field 392 00:20:47,660 --> 00:20:49,730 that exists around the magnet. 393 00:20:49,730 --> 00:20:53,970 You can't see that field with your senses, but it exists. 394 00:20:53,970 --> 00:20:56,030 And, in fact, if you were to take a magnet 395 00:20:56,030 --> 00:20:59,270 and place it on top of metal shavings, 396 00:20:59,270 --> 00:21:02,600 those metal shavings would begin to organize themselves 397 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,870 right in the patterns of the electromagnetic field-- 398 00:21:05,870 --> 00:21:09,270 energy having an effect on matter. 399 00:21:09,270 --> 00:21:13,500 Your body is also a magnet. 400 00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:16,670 It has a north pole and a south pole, 401 00:21:16,670 --> 00:21:19,490 and Asian cultures have known about this 402 00:21:19,490 --> 00:21:22,213 for thousands of years. 403 00:21:22,213 --> 00:21:23,630 Some of the research that was done 404 00:21:23,630 --> 00:21:27,410 at Yale University in the '40s and studying eggs 405 00:21:27,410 --> 00:21:29,420 of different vertebrates. 406 00:21:29,420 --> 00:21:31,340 When they studied those eggs, they 407 00:21:31,340 --> 00:21:35,600 found that 100% of the time that the positive charge was always 408 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,230 at the head, and the negative charge was always at the tail, 409 00:21:39,230 --> 00:21:42,470 meaning that there is an invisible electromagnetic field 410 00:21:42,470 --> 00:21:45,560 that is actually in the shape of the egg. 411 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,720 Well, the body has the same mechanisms. 412 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,510 We know that by the time we're 35 years old, 413 00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:56,360 most of our energy is stored in the body subconsciously 414 00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:59,640 and 5% is stored in the brain and the mind. 415 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:00,560 Why? 416 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,930 Because if you're thinking certain thoughts that 417 00:22:02,930 --> 00:22:04,730 are producing certain chemicals that 418 00:22:04,730 --> 00:22:08,570 make you feel a certain way, and those thoughts are connected 419 00:22:08,570 --> 00:22:11,840 to anger, or aggression, or fear, or guilt, 420 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,640 or suffering shame, you're taking thought and beginning 421 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,140 to store it as energy by feeling the same emotion in these lower 422 00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:22,740 centers of the body. 423 00:22:22,740 --> 00:22:26,180 So then, by the same means, the more 424 00:22:26,180 --> 00:22:29,960 we live by these first three centers in our body, 425 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,530 the more we are drawing from this invisible field 426 00:22:33,530 --> 00:22:37,220 of light and information and turning it into chemistry. 427 00:22:37,220 --> 00:22:40,850 We're causing the very field around our body to shrink. 428 00:22:40,850 --> 00:22:43,940 And now we're becoming more matter and less energy, 429 00:22:43,940 --> 00:22:46,370 more particle and less wave. 430 00:22:46,370 --> 00:22:49,490 These first three centers are energy consumers, 431 00:22:49,490 --> 00:22:52,730 so we're drawing from the field and turning it into chemistry. 432 00:22:52,730 --> 00:22:55,680 We're squandering our very life force. 433 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,030 So now we're like a piece of metal 434 00:22:59,030 --> 00:23:01,880 that no longer has an electromagnetic field 435 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,730 or a piece of metal that's no longer a magnet. 436 00:23:04,730 --> 00:23:06,320 And now we have all this energy stored 437 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,570 in the body and a very little bit amount 438 00:23:08,570 --> 00:23:10,520 of energy stored in the brain. 439 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,300 So then there's gotta be a way to pull the mind out 440 00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:19,280 of the body, and to deliver that energy right back in the brain, 441 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,680 and take all the energy that you use 442 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,250 for making a baby, all the energy that you use to digest 443 00:23:26,250 --> 00:23:29,900 a meal, all the energy that you use to react to someone 444 00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:32,870 or something, and instead of releasing it out, 445 00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:36,150 we want to draw it up into the brain. 446 00:23:36,150 --> 00:23:39,860 So then the breath is the way that we deliver energy back 447 00:23:39,860 --> 00:23:40,660 to the brain. 448 00:23:45,020 --> 00:23:48,290 Cerebrospinal fluid is made of proteins and salts 449 00:23:48,290 --> 00:23:49,620 and solution. 450 00:23:49,620 --> 00:23:51,500 And if you take proteins and salts, 451 00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:53,480 and you drop them in solution, they 452 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,545 develop a charge, either a positive charge 453 00:23:55,545 --> 00:23:56,420 or a negative charge. 454 00:23:56,420 --> 00:23:58,490 They gain or lose electrons. 455 00:23:58,490 --> 00:24:02,330 So now, when you do this breath, and you begin to inhale, 456 00:24:02,330 --> 00:24:04,810 and you squeeze those muscles, the act 457 00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:07,790 of squeezing those muscles, and breathing, and coordinating 458 00:24:07,790 --> 00:24:10,880 that act begins to move that cerebrospinal fluid 459 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,480 towards your brain. 460 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,490 Well, if you take a charged molecule and you accelerate it, 461 00:24:16,490 --> 00:24:20,120 you are going to produce an external field called 462 00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:22,100 an inductance field. 463 00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:24,500 If you move several charged molecules, 464 00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:27,200 you'll create a bigger inductance field. 465 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,830 And once you begin to move energy like that, just 466 00:24:30,830 --> 00:24:33,560 like a magnet, you begin to produce 467 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,760 what's called a torus field. 468 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,480 And many things in nature, from the shape 469 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:44,940 of an apple to a universe to an egg resemble this torus field. 470 00:24:44,940 --> 00:24:47,430 Most people have most of their energy stored 471 00:24:47,430 --> 00:24:49,440 in their first three centers. 472 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,010 And just like drawing fluid up a straw, 473 00:24:53,010 --> 00:24:55,950 we are pulling that energy with one slow, steady breath 474 00:24:55,950 --> 00:24:59,340 through our nose in the attempt to deliver that energy 475 00:24:59,340 --> 00:25:01,130 right up to the pineal gland. 476 00:25:01,130 --> 00:25:04,290 And once that energy moves from the body to the brain, 477 00:25:04,290 --> 00:25:07,170 and it begins to produce more energy in the brain, 478 00:25:07,170 --> 00:25:11,850 we should begin to see the same effect like a magnet. 479 00:25:11,850 --> 00:25:14,940 And it's the intrinsic breath, the contraction 480 00:25:14,940 --> 00:25:18,140 of those muscles along with the slow, steady breath 481 00:25:18,140 --> 00:25:20,230 and having our attention on the target 482 00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:23,010 that once that energy begins to move, 483 00:25:23,010 --> 00:25:25,290 something amazing happens. 484 00:25:25,290 --> 00:25:29,760 There is a activation of the sympathetic nervous system. 485 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,850 And when the sympathetic nervous system is activated, 486 00:25:32,850 --> 00:25:35,370 now it's taking all that energy that's normally 487 00:25:35,370 --> 00:25:37,650 stored in those first three centers, the energy 488 00:25:37,650 --> 00:25:39,990 that it takes to make a baby, the energy 489 00:25:39,990 --> 00:25:42,600 to digest a meal, the energy to run from a predator 490 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,880 or to react to someone or something, 491 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,970 and now that energy is traveling up to the brain. 492 00:25:47,970 --> 00:25:50,640 And the sympathetic nervous system switches on. 493 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,620 And once it's switched on, there's 494 00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:54,660 an arousal that takes place. 495 00:25:54,660 --> 00:25:57,240 And that energy moves right up to the brain. 496 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,100 And once it reaches the brain, it 497 00:25:59,100 --> 00:26:04,330 begins to produce an external electromagnetic field. 498 00:26:04,330 --> 00:26:08,030 The energy at the base of the spine is a lot slower. 499 00:26:08,030 --> 00:26:10,580 As it moves up, the energy gets faster. 500 00:26:10,580 --> 00:26:14,660 And once that energy moves from the base of the spine 501 00:26:14,660 --> 00:26:18,130 all the way up to the brain, just like a magnet, 502 00:26:18,130 --> 00:26:22,760 we're going to begin to produce an ambient electromagnetic 503 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,270 field. 504 00:26:24,270 --> 00:26:29,390 The pineal gland has tiny little cilia, hair-like extensions all 505 00:26:29,390 --> 00:26:30,320 around it. 506 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,450 When you hold your breath and you finally 507 00:26:32,450 --> 00:26:35,900 let your breath out, and you allow that cerebrospinal fluid 508 00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:39,860 to accelerate, the acceleration of that cerebrospinal fluid 509 00:26:39,860 --> 00:26:43,100 begins to stimulate and tickle those little cilia. 510 00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:45,320 And as it begins to become stimulated, 511 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,960 the pineal gland begins to release 512 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,000 very sacred chemicals, which we'll 513 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,580 talk about in the next episode. 514 00:26:52,580 --> 00:26:56,540 So as you inhale and draw that energy up, 515 00:26:56,540 --> 00:27:00,050 once the sympathetic nervous system switches on and merges 516 00:27:00,050 --> 00:27:02,360 with the parasympathetic nervous system, 517 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:05,450 the person is going to release an enormous amount of energy 518 00:27:05,450 --> 00:27:06,740 up into the brain. 519 00:27:06,740 --> 00:27:08,630 Now, there's a gate at the brainstem 520 00:27:08,630 --> 00:27:10,730 called the thalamic gate. 521 00:27:10,730 --> 00:27:13,970 And that gate typically is closed. 522 00:27:13,970 --> 00:27:17,030 And it participates with a system called the Reticular 523 00:27:17,030 --> 00:27:20,690 Activating System, or the RAS. 524 00:27:20,690 --> 00:27:24,120 Now, the RAS is responsible for levels of awareness. 525 00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,690 If your cat is in the kitchen and knocks something over 526 00:27:26,690 --> 00:27:29,990 or you hear somebody outside in the middle of the night, 527 00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:32,150 it's the reticular activating system 528 00:27:32,150 --> 00:27:34,980 that brings you to a greater level of awareness. 529 00:27:34,980 --> 00:27:38,510 But the majority of the time, the stimulation 530 00:27:38,510 --> 00:27:41,210 is coming from our senses, what we're hearing 531 00:27:41,210 --> 00:27:42,680 or what we're seeing. 532 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,140 Now, when the arousal of the sympathetic nervous system 533 00:27:45,140 --> 00:27:48,320 happens this way, once that energy moves up 534 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,930 and that gate opens up, it moves right up into the brain. 535 00:27:51,930 --> 00:27:56,480 And now the brain goes into a super conscious or super aware 536 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,600 state, and the brainwave patterns that are created 537 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,090 are called gamma brainwave patterns. 538 00:28:02,090 --> 00:28:05,180 And gamma brainwave patterns are associated 539 00:28:05,180 --> 00:28:08,240 with super consciousness or super awareness. 540 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,140 And now the person has an activation in their brain, 541 00:28:12,140 --> 00:28:14,780 and they're super conscious, super aware, 542 00:28:14,780 --> 00:28:18,320 but the feelings and the arousal is more like bliss, 543 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,430 more like ecstasy. 544 00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:22,850 And the person is having a tremendous release 545 00:28:22,850 --> 00:28:24,440 of energy into the brain. 546 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,630 And in a sense then, they're almost 547 00:28:26,630 --> 00:28:28,290 having an orgasm in their brain. 548 00:28:28,290 --> 00:28:30,380 And that is the release of the Kundalini. 549 00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:35,750 Now that you have an understanding of pineal gland 550 00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:38,370 and how to activate it, in the next episode, 551 00:28:38,370 --> 00:28:41,480 we'll talk about how the pineal gland once switched 552 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,410 on acts as a radio receiver to pick up information 553 00:28:45,410 --> 00:28:49,340 beyond the senses into meaningful, lucid imagery, 554 00:28:49,340 --> 00:28:53,660 the same way that a TV antenna picks up frequency and decodes 555 00:28:53,660 --> 00:28:55,170 it into pictures. 556 00:28:55,170 --> 00:28:57,230 In other words, we'll uncover the science 557 00:28:57,230 --> 00:29:00,650 behind bridging the physics of frequency and energy 558 00:29:00,650 --> 00:29:03,080 with our biology and our brain. 559 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,510 Stay tuned because I'll be showing you actual brain 560 00:29:05,510 --> 00:29:09,620 scans in real time to prove to you that it's possible. 561 00:29:09,620 --> 00:29:12,190 I'm your host, Dr. Joe Dispenza for "Rewired." 562 00:29:12,190 --> 00:29:14,360 And I hope to see you in the next episode, where 563 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,390 we go beyond the ordinary into the extraordinary. 564 00:29:17,390 --> 00:29:20,440 [MUSIC PLAYING]
