Once you know the skill on how to do this it's just like anything else.
Once you know how to do it,
you can do it with your eyes open, as well as your eyes closed!
And you can turn some of those very strong chemicals
that become, we become like addicts. You know, it's like drug,
the arousal of the stress hormones.
problems and conditions in their life
to reaffirm this emotional need to feel these chemicals.
And that means they become addicted to the life they don't even like!
The hardest part about change is not making the same choices
you did the day before! And the moment you decide to make a different choice,
get ready.
It's going to be uncomfortable.
It's going to be unfamiliar.
It's going to be unpredictable.
There's going to be some uncertainty.
hormonally, genetically, you're stepping into a river. To cross a river
to become somebody else.
Become aware of your unconscious habits and behaviors and notice them.
And look at the emotions that you live by every single day that keep
you connected to the past and decide - do these emotions belong in my future?
And I think most people try to create a new personal reality as the
same personality, and it doesn't work!
But when people really begin to understand that they can rewire their
brain, they can make new
neurochemistry, they can make new hormones,
I mean, they all of a sudden, when they start becoming a different
They don't have to see the tumors shrinking. The disease existed
in the old person.
They are somebody else. And it does require unlearning.
It does
require breaking the habit of being yourself.
It requires lighting a match in a dark place and sitting
in that discomfort and not getting up and checking your cell phone,
ot getting on the phone, or watching TV, or being
distracted by your computer.
in that discomfort, because that's what people are running from all the time.
So the person who's going to say: You know what, I'm really
insecure, or I live in fear, or whoa
Now, this is the moment,
this is a defining moment for people.
Because now they're saying: Okay,
I got to believe that there's something else here. And I think
when you believe in yourself, you believe in possibilities.
When You Believe in possibilities, you believe in yourself! So, people
start taking their power back in a very unique way.
And they go all in, they go all in! And they
understand then... And I think science has become the contemporary
language of mysticism.
I think science is what demystifies
the mystical.
the most important thing.
I love being with people that want to put it to the test.
And when you do, I'm always astounded by how unlimited human beings are!
And you can't tell me you're too old to do this.
We have people in their 80's in our work that have brain scans that
will blow your mind.
You can't tell me you're too sick to do this.
We have people that have been really sick that turn that thing around.
You can't tell me you had a turbulent past.
There are people that have had brutal past that are happy, healthy,
well-adjusted people.
You can't tell me you're too overweight, too underweight.
I've seen it all shapes, sizes.
And it's an amazing thing because once you start
reasoning it and you start thinking about it, it does make sense!
And when it starts making sense to people, then they can begin to assign more
meaning behind what they're doing and put more intention behind it.
And one of the things that has to happen is that you can't
control the outcome.
In other words,
it's not going to happen the way you think it should! Because that's a known.
You got to be open to having it happen in a way that you just
can't predict. And that means you gotta lay down the
very thing
you used your whole life to get what you want for something greater
to occur.
And that's something we have to work on as well.
But step by step, people make these brilliant changes by changing their identity!
I now know that if you've people sound scientific information
and every time we learn something new, we make new connections in our brain.
I mean, research shows that 1 hour of focus concentration on a
concept or an idea doubles the number of connections in your brain.
That you have physical evidence,
you're installing new hardware.
and then the next step is to
have them and turn to the person next to them and explain it. If they can't
doubt it's possible.
they're making their brain fire and new sequences, new patterns, and new
combinations.
Whenever you make your brain work differently, changing your mind,
because mind is the brain in action.
So then, as they're able to build this model and repeat it, they're
installing.
And the more you understand what you're doing and why,
the "how" gets easier.
So then, if you can set up the conditions in the environment and
give people the proper instructions, and certain percentage of those
people are going to get their behaviors to match their intentions, they're going to get
working together.
And when they do, they're going to have a profound experience!
Now, experience further enriches the circuitry in your brain.
That's what experience does, it enhances circuitry. And the end product
of an experience is an emotion.
Now all of a sudden you start to feel unlimited, you start to feel
inspired, you start to feel
abundant, you start to feel empowered, whatever
the feeling is.
Now you're teaching your body emotionally to understand what your
mind is intellectually understood!
So, knowledge is for the mind and experience is for the body.
And in that moment, you're beginning to embody the truth of that
philosophy, that theory.
And you're literally signaling new genes in new ways.
The body's getting new information, and that new information is what's
selecting and instructing
the gene. And genes make proteins. And proteins are responsible for the
structure and function of your body. And the expression of proteins
is the expression of life! So all of a sudden, you make new
hormones, new enzymes.
You make new tissue.
You're beginning to become the very thing that that you're
putting your attention on!
Now, if you've done it once, you should be able to do it again.
And if you can repeat an experience over and over again, you're going
to neurochemically condition your mind and body to begin to work as one.
And when we've done something so many times that your body now
knows how to do it as well
as your mind,
now it's innate in you.
It's automatic.
It's second nature.
It's a skill.
It's a habit.
It's who you become.
It's who you are.
Now you're beginning to master that philosophy, you're embodying it,
you're owning it!
So I think we go from philosopher to initiate to master, from mind
to body to soul. From knowledge to experience to wisdom. To thinking
to doing to being. To learning it with your head, applying it with your
hands and knowing it by heart.
And people have to come to a point where they all of a sudden realize
that they are participants in this whole thing!
And even if the person says, if they
except: Hey look, I don't know that I can beat this thing.
But at least I can live the next several years of my life happy.
It makes a huge difference!
And so, people who are depressed because of a diagnosis, then they
can't think greater than how they feel.
And that's the challenge. When feelings become the means of thinking,
or we can't think greater than how we feel,
then for the most part
we're thinking in the past. And we've studied brains
during the transformational process and we see that when you start
analyzing your life within some disturbing emotion, and it's
typically derived by the hormones of stress, that 100% of the time the
analysis is going to make your brain worse.
It's going to drive it more out of balance. Teach a person how to get
beyond the emotion, the memory without the emotional charge is called
"wisdom".
And now you're no longer anchored to the past, the body's free.
I think Insight is important.
But Insight
never changes behavior.
I don't care what the inside is.
Your father was overbearing.
Your mother was a perfectionist.
You have a chemical imbalance in your brain.
Mercury's in retrograde.
You were this person in a past life. All the Insight, all the
information does not change the condition.
We have to get into the operating system.
We have to get into those programs,
those emotional reactions,
those unconscious
beliefs, those unconscious habits.
Begin to reprogram that.
And there's a way to do that because the whole purpose of meditation
is to get beyond the analytical mind. And what separates the conscious
mind from
the subconscious mind is the analytical mind.
And the only way you're going to know how to do that, or do that, is to
learn how to regulate your brain waves and begin to slow them down.
So, as you begin to slow down your brain waves, you get beyond your
analytical mind and you're entering those that that operating system
where all those programs exist, and 95% of who we are by the time
we're 35 years old is a set of memorized behaviors, unconscious
emotional reactions, unconscious beliefs, perceptions, hardwired
attitudes that function automatically like a computer program.
That means that 95% of the time people are unconscious to how
they're being.
And so, becoming conscious of that, overcoming, even if you just say
every day I'm going to overcome my fear. Every day
I'm gonna overcome my depression. Every day
I'm going to feel better than yesterday. That act of doing that,
you're informing the system,
you're putting new information into your body
that's causing your body
maybe slowly slowly every day to begin to change.
And then of course, some days are easier than others. But I have so
much hope in that because I think that's innate in us.
I think that's what we naturally know to do
when we're challenged to that measure.
There are 2 very important windows that open up
that allow your body and your brain to be more suggestible to information.
And that is when you wake up in the morning, your brain waves go
from very slow Delta to Theta to Alpha to Beta.
And when you go to bed at night, you go from Beta to Alpha to Theta to Delta.
So you slide up the scale when you wake up and you slide down the
scale when you go to bed at night. And most people when they go to
bed at night,
they just go from Beta boom right down to Delta, they fall very quickly.
But you can teach people then how to
just sit and slow everything down and begin to visualize, begin to affirm,
begin to change their thoughts, to begin to work with their body when
they wake up in the morning and when they go to bed at night. And it seems,
according to our research, that those changes can last for hours.
A person feels better.
They don't feel as stress.
They don't feel as imbalanced.
They don't feel as incoherent.
They're not
worrying as much, they and not obsessing as much, they are not over-focused about
something as much.
And those are beautiful windows when we wake up in the
morning and when we go to bed at night!
