1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,760 Is it possible that your brain has been conditioned and habituated by you to view... 2 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,160 in a very limited way? 3 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:26,000 When you focus your attention on a daily basis in this three-dimensional reality, y... 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,199 naturally narrows its focus on everything material. 5 00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:35,679 As you learned in the last episode, this is called a convergent focus, and it's the 6 00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:40,679 hormones of stress that amplify this process. 7 00:00:40,679 --> 00:00:44,640 Is it possible there are other ways to focus your attention, to break the habit of how 8 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,280 you see the world? 9 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,840 And can you make your brain begin to work differently? 10 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,879 I'm your host, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and in the previous episode, we went into great detail 11 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,560 on the difference between survival and creation. 12 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,280 In this episode, we're going to identify in a very simple way the different types of 13 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,280 brain waves to show you the skill of being able to consciously control your own brain... 14 00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:33,679 Let's start by understanding the different types of brain waves. 15 00:01:33,679 --> 00:01:40,679 When neurons fire in your brain, they emit electromagnetic frequencies, and science has 16 00:01:40,679 --> 00:01:47,039 been able to capture those frequencies by using a technology called... 17 00:01:47,039 --> 00:01:51,479 readings, or EEG readings. 18 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,480 We put on a cap on a person's head, and there's these little electrodes, and we us... 19 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,880 that begins to couple the surface of that electrode to the scalp. 20 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:09,439 And we hook up those electrodes to a computer that begins to measure the different... 21 00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:14,759 in different compartments in different regions in the brain. 22 00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,680 So then let's talk about the different brain waves. 23 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,400 The first type of brain wave is called beta brain waves. 24 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:29,879 Think about your brain as an organ that begins to create meaning and coherence in... 25 00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:34,760 between what's going on in your outer world and what's going on in your inner world. 26 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:41,040 Now, when you're conscious and you're awake, and your attention is on your outer... 27 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:46,600 and you're aware of your body in space and time, your brain has to gather and begin to 28 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:52,719 integrate all the different information through those five different sensory... 29 00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:56,519 Everything you're listening to and hearing, everything you're seeing, everything you're 30 00:02:56,519 --> 00:03:01,439 feeling, everything you're smelling, all of that information has to be integrated by the 31 00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:02,560 brain. 32 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,079 And when the brain is active and conscious and you're aware, your brain waves go into 33 00:03:08,079 --> 00:03:11,599 what's called beta brain wave patterns. 34 00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:16,879 Now think about beta brain wave patterns as your attention primarily on your outer 35 00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:18,639 environment. 36 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,719 So then we've talked about the principle of meditation and beginning to regulate and 37 00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:26,039 change your brain waves. 38 00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:31,120 So is it possible then that you can begin to change your brain waves from beta brain 39 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,359 waves to alpha brain waves? 40 00:03:33,359 --> 00:03:39,419 Well back in the 60s and the 70s, when there was a lot of research done on biofeedback, 41 00:03:39,419 --> 00:03:45,379 there were researchers at Princeton University that spent an enormous amount o... 42 00:03:45,379 --> 00:03:47,219 to change their brain waves. 43 00:03:47,219 --> 00:03:51,579 And over and over again, they were unable to change their brain wave patterns no matter 44 00:03:51,579 --> 00:03:52,979 what they did. 45 00:03:52,979 --> 00:03:57,379 Whether they chanted, whether they had positive affirmations, whether they burned... 46 00:03:57,379 --> 00:04:02,019 they did all of these different types of things, relaxing their body. 47 00:04:02,019 --> 00:04:06,859 Nothing actually changed their brain waves until one researcher was so tired that he 48 00:04:06,859 --> 00:04:09,339 finally said, I give up. 49 00:04:09,340 --> 00:04:14,060 And the moment he surrendered and he let go and he gave up, he watched his brain right 50 00:04:14,060 --> 00:04:20,259 before his eyes move from beta brain wave patterns to alpha brain wave patterns. 51 00:04:20,259 --> 00:04:25,500 Think of alpha when your inner world starts becoming more real than your outer world. 52 00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:31,060 Now most people, when they're functioning in beta brain wave patterns, they naturally 53 00:04:31,060 --> 00:04:33,699 shift to alpha brain wave patterns. 54 00:04:33,699 --> 00:04:39,360 The brain pauses for a moment and you begin to think about what you're thinking about. 55 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,420 And in fact, when I do lectures around the world and I'm watching people pay attention, 56 00:04:44,420 --> 00:04:48,579 they're relaxed, their attention is on their outer environment, they're exposed to the 57 00:04:48,579 --> 00:04:54,219 information that I'm teaching them, then all of a sudden they stop and they pause and they 58 00:04:54,219 --> 00:04:55,800 go like this. 59 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,060 And when they stop and they pause, all of a sudden they're making their inner world 60 00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:04,220 more real than the outer world, and they freeze that image in their brain, and the 61 00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:08,500 brain begins to consolidate it neurologically. 62 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:14,180 So when you get into the meditative process and you sit your body down and it's not... 63 00:05:14,180 --> 00:05:18,000 it's not smelling, it's not tasting, it's not feeling, it's not experiencing, you're 64 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,220 not seeing, you're not hearing, of course now you're starting to disconnect from your 65 00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:28,220 outer environment, and now your inner world starts becoming more real than your outer 66 00:05:28,220 --> 00:05:29,220 world. 67 00:05:29,220 --> 00:05:34,660 And in that state, brain waves in your thinking brain begin to slow down. 68 00:05:34,660 --> 00:05:39,660 And when that occurs, you move into alpha brain wave patterns, and alpha brain wave 69 00:05:39,660 --> 00:05:42,460 patterns are slower brain wave patterns. 70 00:05:42,460 --> 00:05:45,220 Now what's the significance of this? 71 00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:50,900 When you begin to move into alpha from beta, you are beginning to move beyond your... 72 00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:57,340 mind and now you're entering the operating system where all those subconscious programs, 73 00:05:57,539 --> 00:06:00,099 habits and behaviors exist. 74 00:06:00,099 --> 00:06:07,259 So then in alpha, we tend to no longer hear the voice in our head that's talking to us, 75 00:06:07,259 --> 00:06:11,819 and all of a sudden we start to see in pictures and images. 76 00:06:11,819 --> 00:06:16,419 Think of alpha as the imaginary state. 77 00:06:16,419 --> 00:06:20,459 Another way to think of alpha is when you're driving down the freeway in your car. 78 00:06:20,459 --> 00:06:23,259 Your brain is fixed in a state of trance. 79 00:06:23,259 --> 00:06:25,379 You're in that state of alpha. 80 00:06:25,379 --> 00:06:29,139 You have no idea how long you've been driving. 81 00:06:29,139 --> 00:06:32,980 You have no idea who's been driving the car. 82 00:06:32,980 --> 00:06:36,100 You have no attention on anything in your outer world. 83 00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:42,620 You're imaging pictures in your mind, and you have to move into alpha in order to do that. 84 00:06:42,620 --> 00:06:46,500 There's another brain wave state called theta brain wave state. 85 00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:48,620 This is a hypnotic state. 86 00:06:48,620 --> 00:06:53,379 This is a state of heightened suggestibility. 87 00:06:54,139 --> 00:07:00,180 In theory, instability is your ability to accept, believe, and surrender to information 88 00:07:00,180 --> 00:07:02,139 without any analysis. 89 00:07:02,139 --> 00:07:06,420 So in theta, it's a very slow brain wave state. 90 00:07:06,420 --> 00:07:13,860 And in a sense, the body is resting and semi-asleep, and you're awake. 91 00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:18,899 Or better said, you are conscious in your subconscious mind. 92 00:07:18,899 --> 00:07:24,019 The state of theta, lights are out in the part of the brain that connects you to... 93 00:07:24,019 --> 00:07:26,699 known or familiar in your life. 94 00:07:26,699 --> 00:07:33,259 The seed of the identity, the conscious mind, the personality now has been suppressed. 95 00:07:33,259 --> 00:07:38,379 And now consciousness or awareness is moving out of the neocortex, and it's beginning 96 00:07:38,379 --> 00:07:42,620 to move into the subconscious centers of the brain. 97 00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:45,819 Now the next state is called delta brain wave states. 98 00:07:45,819 --> 00:07:50,980 And in delta, think about delta as restorative sleep. 99 00:07:50,980 --> 00:07:56,259 This is when your body is in a catatonic state, and it's completely asleep, and now 100 00:07:56,259 --> 00:08:00,740 there's very little activity in your conscious mind. 101 00:08:00,740 --> 00:08:05,060 The last state is called gamma brain wave patterns. 102 00:08:05,060 --> 00:08:12,740 Now you would think that gamma is a faster frequency than beta, and in a sense, it is. 103 00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:19,060 But now, when you live by the hormones of stress, the arousal of those stress hormones 104 00:08:19,060 --> 00:08:24,660 drives the brain not into just a normal beta state, but a high beta state. 105 00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:29,759 And if you look at gamma, there's an arousal that's taking place in the brain. 106 00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:35,580 But the arousal is not coming from some danger, some threat, or some condition in... 107 00:08:35,580 --> 00:08:41,940 environment that's evoking the stress hormones and causing emotions like aggress... 108 00:08:42,140 --> 00:08:44,460 or sadness to occur. 109 00:08:44,460 --> 00:08:48,380 In gamma, there's an arousal within the body. 110 00:08:48,380 --> 00:08:53,940 Energy from the body begins to move up into the brain, and when that happens, the brain 111 00:08:53,940 --> 00:08:58,920 moves into a super conscious or super aware state. 112 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:05,460 So think about gamma as a super aroused, super conscious, super aware state where y... 113 00:09:05,460 --> 00:09:09,700 world tends to become more real than your outer world. 114 00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:14,900 I want you to just see the difference between high beta brain wave patterns and gamma brain 115 00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:15,980 wave patterns. 116 00:09:15,980 --> 00:09:21,820 You can see that the waves of gamma tend to be more compressed, and the frequency tends 117 00:09:21,820 --> 00:09:24,460 to be a little bit faster. 118 00:09:24,460 --> 00:09:27,580 Now look at the left-hand side of this graph. 119 00:09:27,580 --> 00:09:33,259 You see the numbers going from zero all the way up to 100. 120 00:09:33,259 --> 00:09:39,180 So delta brain waves tend to be at a frequency that's very slow in the neocortex. 121 00:09:39,179 --> 00:09:42,299 From five to four cycles per second. 122 00:09:42,299 --> 00:09:45,219 Theta brain waves tend to be a little bit faster. 123 00:09:45,219 --> 00:09:50,539 They're four to eight cycles per second, and as we keep increasing frequencies, you can 124 00:09:50,539 --> 00:09:56,120 see that alpha brain wave patterns are about eight to 13 cycles per second. 125 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:03,219 Now in low-level beta, you can see low-level beta is about 13 to 15 cycles per second. 126 00:10:03,219 --> 00:10:07,419 Mid-range beta is about 16 to 22 cycles per second. 127 00:10:07,419 --> 00:10:11,339 Now let's talk about this before we go any further. 128 00:10:11,339 --> 00:10:14,659 Low-level beta is a healthy brain wave state. 129 00:10:14,659 --> 00:10:18,379 In fact, when you're learning, you should be in low-level beta. 130 00:10:18,379 --> 00:10:19,379 Why? 131 00:10:19,379 --> 00:10:21,299 Because there's no threat, there's no danger. 132 00:10:21,299 --> 00:10:23,579 It's the perfect time to learn. 133 00:10:23,579 --> 00:10:28,259 But if a professor came out while you were learning and said, there's going to be a quiz 134 00:10:28,259 --> 00:10:33,219 at the end of this teaching session, and you have to pass the quiz in order for you to 135 00:10:33,220 --> 00:10:37,500 pass the course, all of a sudden, the light bulb in your brain would get a little bit 136 00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:42,480 brighter and it would put more energy in there and you would get more awake or more... 137 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,580 When you're getting ready to do a lecture or getting ready to do a speech, this kind 138 00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:51,420 of stress called eustress or good stress gives you a little bit more energy to be a... 139 00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:57,180 navigate in your three-dimensional reality, and the brain begins to perk up a little bit. 140 00:10:57,180 --> 00:11:00,300 Now take a look at high-level beta. 141 00:11:00,379 --> 00:11:03,979 It's 22 to 50 cycles per second. 142 00:11:03,979 --> 00:11:10,019 And high-level beta is more than two to three times higher than low-level beta. 143 00:11:10,019 --> 00:11:15,259 And in high-level beta, this is when your brain is stuck in emergency mode. 144 00:11:15,259 --> 00:11:21,139 And think about high-beta like driving your sports car on the freeway in first gear. 145 00:11:21,139 --> 00:11:27,199 It's good for the short term, but once a person gets stuck in this high-beta state,... 146 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,759 living in severe anxiety, severe depression. 147 00:11:30,759 --> 00:11:36,000 They're in a state where their brain is always aroused and they need something... 148 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,960 them to begin to sedate the body so they can begin to relax. 149 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:46,759 And this is a problem because living in high-beta is the arousal of the stress... 150 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:51,960 And as we begin to shift our attention from one person to another person, to another... 151 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:57,160 to another place, to another time, the arousal of the brain because of those stre... 152 00:11:57,199 --> 00:12:03,839 moving into a very high-beta state, not only causes the high-beta to happen, but it causes 153 00:12:03,839 --> 00:12:07,559 the brain to begin to function very incoherently. 154 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,759 And people tend to narrow their focus on the danger. 155 00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:17,399 And now they're enslaved to the laws of Newtonian physics, where they have to rush... 156 00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:19,519 get things to happen in their life. 157 00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:24,120 And for a lot of people, their brains are stuck in high-beta. 158 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,600 Now take a look at gamma brainwave patterns. 159 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:32,840 You can see low gamma cycles are between 25 to 50 cycles per second, and high gamma 160 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:38,560 brainwave patterns, they can go from 50 to 100 cycles per second. 161 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:41,840 And this is an arousal that's taking place in the brain. 162 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:48,279 And the arousal is producing emotions like ecstasy, bliss, euphoria. 163 00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:52,080 It's a whole different type of arousal. 164 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:57,360 So then if the purpose of meditation is to get beyond your analytical mind, and what 165 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:03,520 separates your conscious mind from your subconscious mind is your analytical mind,... 166 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:09,080 you to get beyond your analytical mind and enter the subconscious mind where those... 167 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:15,480 programs exist, you're going to have to learn a formula or a way to begin to slow your 168 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:21,720 brainwaves down from high-level beta to mid-range beta to low-level beta. 169 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,440 And when you start slowing down into alpha brainwave patterns, you've crossed past 170 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,040 the analytical mind. 171 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:33,040 And now as you begin to slow your brainwaves down even further, you're in the subconscious 172 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,480 part of the brain. 173 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,120 Now you can begin to make some significant measurable changes. 174 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,279 So then let's review this. 175 00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:48,399 Let me go from beta to alpha to theta to delta. 176 00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:55,399 And think about beta and alpha being the seat of your conscious mind, and alpha, theta, 177 00:13:55,399 --> 00:13:59,799 and delta representing your subconscious mind. 178 00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:07,439 And as you begin to slow down brain activity, because you're no longer analyzing and... 179 00:14:07,439 --> 00:14:13,879 with your neocortex, then consciousness or your awareness or energy naturally flows 180 00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:18,039 right out of the neocortex, right into your limbic brain. 181 00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:21,519 The seat of your autonomic nervous system. 182 00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:26,120 That's the part of your brain, remember, that begins to control and regulate all those 183 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,399 automatic bodily functions. 184 00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:33,679 In a sense, it's the part of the brain that's giving you life, that has an agenda to keep 185 00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:38,679 you in balance, to keep you in homeostasis, and it's very automatic. 186 00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:43,759 So now you're in the very operating system where you can begin to program your autonomic 187 00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:50,200 nervous system to change its hormones, to begin to change the body's function in some 188 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,200 way. 189 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:56,639 And in a sense, you are conscious in your subconscious mind. 190 00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:01,240 Our brain scans have shown that students that know how to regulate and slow down their 191 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:06,639 brain waves, they move into that low level alpha and theta, and all of a sudden, they 192 00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:09,679 start to merge with their autonomic nervous system. 193 00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:13,519 And we call this getting beyond the self. 194 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:17,879 And when the conscious mind is merging with the subconscious mind, or you're beginning 195 00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:25,079 to connect to your autonomic nervous system, its job is to create order and balance. 196 00:15:25,079 --> 00:15:30,000 And when you get beyond yourself, get beyond everything known in your three-dimensional 197 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,699 reality, something magical happens. 198 00:15:32,699 --> 00:15:37,639 When the autonomic nervous system begins to connect, and you're not activating those... 199 00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:43,159 you're not thinking and feeling in the same cycles, all of a sudden, it begins to... 200 00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:49,079 or create coherence in the neocortex, which has been fractured and subdivided because 201 00:15:49,079 --> 00:15:51,600 of the hormones of stress. 202 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:59,159 So now, think about coherence as order, as cadence, as rhythm. 203 00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:03,259 Things are working synchronized in an organized way. 204 00:16:03,259 --> 00:16:09,000 Think of incoherence like a group of drummers with no rhythm banging on the drums at the 205 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,740 same time. 206 00:16:10,740 --> 00:16:15,740 And the brain, as well as the heart, that are influenced by the hormones of stress, 207 00:16:15,740 --> 00:16:24,139 as they begin to function in a very disorganized way, that incoherence is a ve... 208 00:16:24,139 --> 00:16:26,279 for the body. 209 00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:27,820 Think about it like this. 210 00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:34,500 If you went to a football game, and something happened favorable to the home team, and... 211 00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:39,779 was clapping at the same time and applauding, that would be incoherence in the brain. 212 00:16:39,819 --> 00:16:46,819 Now, normal coherence in the brain would be like every tenth person in the stadium... 213 00:16:46,819 --> 00:16:51,939 in rhythm, and that's normal or average for most human beings. 214 00:16:51,939 --> 00:16:58,500 But when the brain and heart get highly organized, highly integrated, highly... 215 00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:03,740 everybody in the stadium clapping at the same time in rhythm. 216 00:17:03,740 --> 00:17:10,420 Not only does it create order and coherence, but it also increases the amount of energy 217 00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:11,740 in the brain and heart. 218 00:17:11,740 --> 00:17:16,059 And when there's more energy in the brain, when there's more energy in the heart,... 219 00:17:16,059 --> 00:17:21,960 a greater level of awareness about your body, your environment, and time. 220 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,180 I want to show you the difference between coherence and incoherence. 221 00:17:26,180 --> 00:17:30,740 On the left image where it says coherence, you're looking at the top of their head. 222 00:17:30,740 --> 00:17:35,339 Now, 19 different compartments of the brain that are connected through electrodes, and 223 00:17:35,339 --> 00:17:41,620 if all of those compartments are synchronized, you'll see the valleys and t... 224 00:17:41,620 --> 00:17:45,700 lined up, and we'll call that order or coherence. 225 00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:50,500 If different parts of the brain are lagging, are behind, are out of order, then you'll 226 00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:55,460 see all of a sudden some of those valleys lining up with some of the peaks, and... 227 00:17:55,460 --> 00:18:00,700 compartments of the brain are not communicating well with each other, and we... 228 00:18:00,740 --> 00:18:06,900 When we see a lot of blue when we're measuring coherence, it means it has a low... 229 00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:09,180 coherence in the brain. 230 00:18:09,180 --> 00:18:15,140 If you don't see any blue and you see pink, that's normal, and normal means average, 231 00:18:15,140 --> 00:18:19,579 what the average person experiences in terms of coherence. 232 00:18:19,579 --> 00:18:24,420 The red represents a high amount of order in the brain, and red means there's a super 233 00:18:24,420 --> 00:18:27,259 level of coherence. 234 00:18:27,259 --> 00:18:33,539 So now, this is a normal brain scan, this is what we call a strip chart, and we're 235 00:18:33,539 --> 00:18:37,119 measuring the 19 different parts of the brain. 236 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:42,700 That brainwave pattern is low level beta brainwave patterns. 237 00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:47,099 Now the person's sitting there, their eyes are open, they're being their normal self, 238 00:18:47,099 --> 00:18:51,660 we ask them to close their eyes, begin to open their awareness, begin to open their 239 00:18:51,660 --> 00:18:56,059 focus from a convergent focus to a divergent focus or a broad focus. 240 00:18:56,619 --> 00:18:59,700 In a matter of seconds, this is what we see. 241 00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:06,259 Now remember, coherence is orderliness, and look how those waves are organized and... 242 00:19:06,259 --> 00:19:08,419 equally on top of each other. 243 00:19:08,419 --> 00:19:14,779 The brain is highly synchronized or phase synchronized in alpha brainwave states. 244 00:19:14,779 --> 00:19:16,019 Here's another one. 245 00:19:16,019 --> 00:19:21,220 Another person goes from a narrow focus to a broad focus, and you can see the entire 246 00:19:21,220 --> 00:19:25,980 brain is coherently in alpha brainwave state. 247 00:19:25,980 --> 00:19:28,460 Here's another person who has global coherence. 248 00:19:28,460 --> 00:19:34,259 They go from a narrow focus to a broad focus, from a convergent focus to a divergent focus, 249 00:19:34,259 --> 00:19:39,740 and you can see all of those different brainwaves beautifully stacked on top of e... 250 00:19:39,740 --> 00:19:44,059 and we can say that the brain is highly integrated. 251 00:19:44,059 --> 00:19:48,860 If you look at that arrow on the right side of the screen, you can see that all of those 252 00:19:48,860 --> 00:19:50,259 peaks are lining up. 253 00:19:50,259 --> 00:19:55,460 That means the entire brain is in an alpha coherence state. 254 00:19:55,460 --> 00:20:02,380 In this slide, you're seeing someone in phase synchronized, coherent theta brainwave... 255 00:20:02,380 --> 00:20:07,900 The entire brain is synchronized into theta, and they're in that hypnotic state. 256 00:20:07,900 --> 00:20:13,900 They're in that suggestible state where the lights are out in the thinking neocortex. 257 00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:19,420 And when they slip into that theta brainwave state, we can say that they're completely 258 00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:25,500 beyond themselves, and they've dissociated from everything known in their... 259 00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:26,980 reality. 260 00:20:26,980 --> 00:20:31,860 Our research, as well as other researchers at Princeton University and around the world, 261 00:20:31,860 --> 00:20:37,019 have found that if you can broaden your focus, as you begin to open your awareness... 262 00:20:37,019 --> 00:20:42,700 act of taking your attention off of everything material and putting your... 263 00:20:42,700 --> 00:20:44,440 but space. 264 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:51,340 If reality is both a particle and wave, if it's matter and energy, and there's an... 265 00:20:51,340 --> 00:20:57,340 field of energy called the quantum field that exists beyond this space and time that 266 00:20:57,340 --> 00:21:02,740 you can't experience with your senses, but can only experience with your awareness, and 267 00:21:02,740 --> 00:21:08,819 that unified field, that invisible field of frequency, that is that very frequency that 268 00:21:08,819 --> 00:21:14,939 connects everything material and organizes everything into form. 269 00:21:14,939 --> 00:21:19,019 So then when you broaden your focus and you take your attention off of matter, you're 270 00:21:19,019 --> 00:21:24,859 putting your attention on that invisible field of energy, whose signature is onenes... 271 00:21:24,859 --> 00:21:30,619 signature is order, whose signature is greater and greater levels of wholeness. 272 00:21:30,619 --> 00:21:36,899 The person is feeling so whole, so in love with life, that it's impossible for them to 273 00:21:36,899 --> 00:21:37,899 want. 274 00:21:37,980 --> 00:21:41,220 I mean, how can you want when you feel whole? 275 00:21:41,220 --> 00:21:43,560 You feel like you have everything. 276 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,060 And so we've measured this on people. 277 00:21:46,060 --> 00:21:50,860 In fact, we can actually predict when it's going to happen to a person. 278 00:21:50,860 --> 00:21:54,980 We start seeing more and more order taking place in the brain, and all of a sudden we 279 00:21:54,980 --> 00:22:00,820 can say after a certain point, this person is going to have a very transcendental moment. 280 00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:05,540 And when we see those two hemispheres coming together, when that person is connecting and 281 00:22:05,539 --> 00:22:10,420 they feel whole, energy moves right into their heart and their heart starts beating 282 00:22:10,420 --> 00:22:13,180 very orderly and very coherently. 283 00:22:13,180 --> 00:22:17,740 The heart begins to produce an ambient magnetic field. 284 00:22:17,740 --> 00:22:21,659 Now the field and the energy is beginning to broaden from the body. 285 00:22:21,659 --> 00:22:26,019 And that energy is frequency and that frequency carries information. 286 00:22:26,019 --> 00:22:30,659 And now the person feels connected to something greater. 287 00:22:30,779 --> 00:22:35,980 And you can walk around and look at that person and you can see tears of joy rolling 288 00:22:35,980 --> 00:22:42,019 down their face because they feel so whole, they feel so in love with life, that they 289 00:22:42,019 --> 00:22:49,019 feel connected to something greater, that I call that the natural state of being. 290 00:22:49,019 --> 00:22:52,540 So what does it mean then to get beyond the self? 291 00:22:52,540 --> 00:22:58,220 If we're getting beyond the analytical mind and cooling off brain activity that's... 292 00:22:58,220 --> 00:23:03,700 to everything familiar in our life, that means then in order for you to get beyond 293 00:23:03,700 --> 00:23:08,620 yourself, you're going to have to take your attention off of everything material and 294 00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:11,299 known in this three dimensional reality. 295 00:23:11,299 --> 00:23:17,819 And our research shows that when you go from a somebody to a nobody, from putting your 296 00:23:17,819 --> 00:23:22,900 attention on some things to putting your attention on nothing, to putting your... 297 00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:25,500 somewhere to nowhere. 298 00:23:25,500 --> 00:23:31,059 When you're putting your attention from some time into no time, that is the moment you're 299 00:23:31,059 --> 00:23:34,140 disconnecting from this three dimensional reality. 300 00:23:34,140 --> 00:23:37,940 And in a sense, we call that getting beyond the self. 301 00:23:37,940 --> 00:23:44,339 And now at this elegant moment, you are on the sweet spot of the generous present... 302 00:23:44,339 --> 00:23:49,539 And we could say now you're at that perfect place in the eternal now for you to begin 303 00:23:49,539 --> 00:23:52,900 to create something new from the unknown. 304 00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:53,900 Why? 305 00:23:53,940 --> 00:23:58,540 Because if you have no attention on the predictable future or the familiar past, i... 306 00:23:58,540 --> 00:24:04,259 attention on anything material in your outer environment, on no one or nothing or nowhere, 307 00:24:04,259 --> 00:24:08,740 and you've gotten beyond your body, which has been conditioned to be the mind, the only 308 00:24:08,740 --> 00:24:12,460 thing that you are in that moment is pure consciousness. 309 00:24:12,460 --> 00:24:17,500 And when you're pure consciousness dissociated from everything material in yo... 310 00:24:17,500 --> 00:24:22,200 you're at the perfect place to create something new. 311 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:27,920 Now that I've shown you that there's a formula and how you can create a more... 312 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,640 synchronized brainwave state, I'd like to show you that this process can affect your 313 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,319 ability to reprogram and change your own genetic destiny. 314 00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:42,480 In the next episode, we're going to explore how you can become your own genetic engineer. 315 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,840 I'm Dr. Joe Dispenza for REWIRED, and I hope to see you in the next episode where we go 316 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,440 beyond the ordinary into the extraordinary.
