Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself: 3 Key-Points from Dr Joe Dispenza to Change Your Life
Whether you use meditation or not to better your life, comes down to 1 question:
“Do you believe in a higher power?”
I do. But I’m not here to convince you. Divine intervention doesn’t come in the form we want, need, or hope for — it comes in subtle cues in our environment. There is really no way to articulate them (so I won’t try), they are profoundly personal experiences.
This book isn’t so much about manifestation or anything ‘too high vibe’.
It’s about changing negative thought and behaviour patterns.
Once we’re free of these, you are able to focus deeper on the reality you to want to inhabit.
These are the 3 key points from the book that will change you (literally).
“A memory without the emotional charge is called wisdom”
– Dr Joe Dispenza
🧘♀️Key Point #1: Have a meditation practice
If you don’t, you’ll never see change.
Every great figure in history has utilised an introspective practice:
- Sportsmen visualise games
- Public speakers quiet fear by breathing
- Many successful people practice manifestation
Don’t think for a moment I’m saying they did ‘this one’.
But they did ‘a one’. The human mind is complex beyond measure — we don’t fully understand how it works. All we know is that it’s powerful, so why not make sure it’s streamlined for our purpose? Neuroticism is essentially when the mind fights itself (like when we fight ourselves). What this genre of meditation does is get all the chairmen of the board aligned on one goal.
We are all neurotic to some extent, and our board-members are arguing.
By taking the time to:
- Observe the mind
- Remove undesirable traits
- And get our energy focused on one goal
We are utilising the power of the subconscious mind.
⏳Key Point #2: This is how you meditate
By following these steps, you will achieve what you set out to do, or realise what you should actually be doing.
1) Induction
- 5–20 minutes
- Breathe, and calm yourself
- The aim is to reach a hypnotic state
2) Notice
- 5 minutes
- Note all the things you want to change
- Observe these behaviours from a 3rd-person view
3) Transmute
- 5 minutes
- Make the decision to remove these behaviours
- Feel this change emotionally
4) Visualise
- 5 minutes
- Think about all the things you want to be
- Feel like you are already this person
5) Feel gratitude
- 5 minutes
- Be thankful for these things like they’ve already happened (yeah I know they haven’t yet)
- This puts you “ahead of your time”, meaning you are creating your environment, not reacting to it
Do this every day.
It’s hard work in itself, nothing comes easy.
📡 Key Point #3: Keep the signal coherent
When you finish the meditation, you’ll feel like a new person.
This is great, this is the point, this is where you want to be… But, you have to keep this positive feeling constant throughout the day. Why? Because for this change to take place, the body needs to learn that you’ve made the change.
The body keeps the score.
It is the body that releases the chemicals that makes you feel either:
- Your old and terrible self.
- Your new and vitalised self.
And it is the body we need to keep teaching how we want to feel.
