Rewire Your Brain, Recondition Your Body: The Proven Path to Becoming Supernatural

This book excerpt from Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Becoming Supernatural explores how individuals can achieve extraordinary results by changing their beliefs and utilizing specific meditation and breathing techniques. The author details personal anecdotes and case studies illustrating how altering brainwave patterns and emotional states can lead to physical and mental healing, and even influence external events. Scientific concepts like epigenetics and the unified field are integrated with mystical experiences to explain these transformations. The text emphasizes the power of intention and focusing one’s energy to manifest desired outcomes. Finally, the author discusses Project Coherence, a global initiative aimed at increasing peace and harmony through collective consciousness.

1. What does it mean to “become supernatural,” according to the source?

“Becoming supernatural,” in this context, refers to the ability of ordinary individuals to transcend their perceived limitations and create extraordinary changes in their lives through a deep understanding and application of the power of their mind and consciousness. This involves moving beyond the physical world of matter and time, tapping into the quantum realm of infinite possibilities, and aligning one’s energy with desired outcomes to manifest them into reality.

2. How does the past influence our present and future?

The past powerfully dictates the present and the future through our ingrained habits and emotions. Every repeated thought and feeling creates biochemical reactions in the brain, forming neural networks. These networks condition the body to automatically respond in familiar ways, trapping individuals in repetitive cycles of thought, emotion, and experience. This causes the body to become the mind and creates a predictable future based on past conditioning.

3. What is the role of the present moment in creating change?

The present moment is the gateway to creating change. By transcending the physical world, including body, identity, environment and time, one can access the quantum realm of infinite possibilities. This requires shifting focus from the external to the internal world, disconnecting from the known, and becoming pure consciousness in the “eternal now.” In this state, it’s possible to combine clear intention with elevated emotions, broadcasting a new electromagnetic signature into the field, and drawing the desired future into manifestation.

4. How does energy flow in the body and what happens when it becomes blocked?

Energy flows through the body and is associated with the brain. When individuals primarily live in survival mode, they are constantly drawing energy from an invisible field and storing it in their first three energy centers (lower body). This is because repetitive patterns of thinking and feeling associated with survival, such as fear, anger, and stress, lead the body to pull energy from this field and store it, rather than allowing it to flow. When this flow is blocked, it can lead to imbalances in body and mind.

5. What is the connection between thoughts, emotions, and the body’s energy centers?

Thoughts and emotions are closely linked to the body’s energy centers. Every thought releases biochemical reactions that create feelings, which reinforce related thoughts in a loop, further activating the nervous system and hormonal centers linked to the energy centers. The lower three energy centers become activated by different emotions. The first center (sexual organs) becomes activated with sexual or lustful thoughts, the second center (gut/abdomen) becomes activated by feelings of guilt or shame, and the third center (pit of gut) is associated with feelings of anger or control. The energy from these emotions becomes stored in the corresponding energy center.

6. How can we change our brain and body using mental rehearsal?

Mental rehearsal, through visualization and imagining, creates new neural pathways and physiological changes in the brain and body. By mentally rehearsing actions, such as playing a piano or flexing a wrist muscle, individuals can create similar neural patterns as if they were physically performing these actions. By combining mental imagery with the emotions associated with the desired outcome, individuals can signal new genes and biologically prepare the body for the desired future.

7. How do meditation and breath work help to achieve higher states of consciousness?

Meditation and specific breathing techniques help individuals shift out of beta brain waves (associated with the outer world) into alpha and theta waves, opening the doorway to higher states of consciousness. During meditation, the focus is intentionally turned inward to become pure awareness in the present moment. Combined with specific breathing techniques, which use muscles of the perineum, abdomen and chest, energy that is stored in the lower body can be pulled up into the brain to generate a greater electromagnetic field. When these energy centers are activated, the nervous system becomes primed and individuals become more receptive to suggestion, creating a state of open awareness where a new future can be imagined and integrated.

8. What is the concept of a “Mind Movie,” and how does it help to create a new future?

A “Mind Movie” is a technique that uses a combination of inner vision, feeling, and sound to create a vivid, multi-dimensional experience of a desired future reality. By actively embodying and feeling the emotions associated with the new future and reinforcing this with sound and imagery, individuals begin to biologically align their bodies with the future they want to create. The combination of intentionality, elevated emotion, and repetitive practice can reprogram the brain from its familiar past to a map that leads to a new future.

Answer Key

1. The text explains that mind is the brain in action. When neurological tissue in the brain or body is activated, it creates mind. Different tasks require different levels and patterns of brain activity, meaning different “minds.”
2. The body can become the mind through repeated cycles of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. When these patterns become automatic and unconscious, the body essentially takes over, running a series of programs based on past conditioning.
3. Living in survival mode causes energy to be stored in the body, particularly in the first three energy centers. This energy, intended for creative purposes, becomes rooted in survival instincts, diminishing its availability for higher functions.
4. The pineal gland is presented as a dimensional timepiece and cosmic antenna that can tune into information beyond our physical senses. When activated, it can connect us to other realities that exist in the eternal moment.
5. A thought is initially immaterial, but when a thought is given attention and emotion, it creates a biochemical reaction in the brain, which then causes the body to feel a particular way; therefore, the thought becomes an experience.
6. One can tune in to new potentials in the quantum field by combining a clear intention with elevated emotions. By broadcasting a new electromagnetic signature and consciously maintaining a vibrational match, one draws the new experience to them.
7. Energy centers are specific areas in the body (also known as chakras) that have their own glands, hormones, chemicals, and a mini-brain. These centers, when activated, produce their own minds, emit energy and influence physiological processes.
8. The torus field represents a dynamic flow of energy that is created when energy moves from the body to the brain. It involves a flow both around and through the body and is associated with the activation of the pineal gland.
9. Suggestibility, the ability to accept information without analyzing it, increases when brain waves slow down (like in alpha or theta states), as the conscious mind is bypassed, creating a trance-like state; conversely, suggestibility decreases when brain waves speed up.
10. The practice of embodying one’s future self involves mentally rehearsing and experiencing one’s desired future with all senses, using elevated emotions to teach the body what that future feels like. This helps to install new circuits in the brain and change one’s biology to match the desired future state.
