Becoming Supernatural: How Common People are Doing the Uncommon

Drawing from evidence-based science, such as epigenetics, molecular biology, neurocardiology, neuroplasticity, psychoneuroimmunology, neuroendocrinology, and quantum physics, Dr. Dispenza opens the door to a bold new paradigm of transformation by showing us how to connect to the quantum field through meditation. His team of researchers have gone through extensive strides to scientifically measure, record, and analyze transformations in people’s biology and their lives to prove to the world that common people can do the uncommon by bridging the gap between science and mysticism.

Everything in the three-dimensional physical world is consciousness manifested as energy – particles of light and sound waves vibrating at specific frequencies. It is impossible to separate energy and consciousness as they make up a dynamic whole. There is an invisible, indivisible field of consciousness – that exists beyond this three-dimensional physical reality of space and time – called the quantum field (the fifth dimension, infinite intelligence, the unified field, universal consciousness). Modern science shows us that, in the quantum field, time and space do not exist, and all possibilities exist in the form of waves. It’s beyond anything we can perceive with our senses. The only way we can connect to the quantum field is with our awareness, where we can access greater levels of frequency and information. To do so, we must leave behind our attachments to the three-dimensional world – all our stress, fears, trauma, body, space, and time – and connect to the present moment. In doing so, we are turning inward and tuning into a consciousness that is always present with us. As we move toward it and trust in the unknown – without returning our awareness to the physical world of the senses – we experience more oneness and wholeness within. The more we become aware of the quantum field, the more we’re moving away from the perceived separation of the physical universe and closer to oneness, one consciousness, order, and love. Becoming aware of the existence of the quantum field is the first step to experiencing it. When we are in the realm of unity consciousness, if we find ourselves thinking about something in the physical world, we are thrown back to three-dimensional reality, back into time, space, and separation.

You can decide to observe a future in the quantum field that you want to manifest, however, if you’re doing it with a victim mindset, or feeling limited or unhappy, your energy is not going to be consistent with your intended creation and you won’t be able to call that new future to you. Any lower vibrational energy that you are feeling cannot carry the intention of your future dream. It will only carry a level of consciousness equal to those limited emotions. In order to create a new reality, you have to move to a greater level of consciousness than the consciousness that created the reality you are trying to create from. You can change your energy to match the frequency of any potential in the quantum field that already exists there. When a vibrational match occurs between your energy and the energy of that potential you select in the quantum field, you will draw that experience to you, as long as it is aligned with your soul’s purpose.

The quantum field governs all the laws of the universe, including how consciousness (wave) collapses into matter (particle) when observed. When studying atoms, physicists found that matter is 99.999999% empty space, however, quantum physics shows that the space is not empty but rather filled with the quantum field underlying all physical manifestations. Subatomic particles do not exist prior to being observed. They exist as a wave in the quantum field and when observed they collapse into a particle in the present moment as matter. This is called collapsing the wave function or a quantum event. After observation, the subatomic particle disappears back into wave form in the quantum realm of infinite possibility. Just as we, as a subjective consciousness, are observing the subatomic particle as matter, there’s a universal consciousness that is constantly observing all that is in our three-dimensional manifestation creating the physical universe. When the mystery of the self is unveiled, we can wake up to the understanding that we are not linear beings having a linear life but instead multidimensional beings living multidimensional lives.

The smallest subatomic particle that makes up all matter is light (a photon of light). We are conscious beings with a body made of gravitationally organized vibrating light packed with information that is continuously sending and receiving various frequencies, all carrying different signals, through our energy field and our consciousness. In order to create from the quantum field, we need to use our clear intention and elevated emotions, such as love, gratitude, inspiration, joy, excitement, awe, or wonder. We have to tap into the feeling we anticipate we will have when we manifest our intent, and then feel the emotion ahead of the experience. The elevated emotions, which carry a higher vibrational frequency, is the magnetic charge we are sending out into the quantum field. When we combine the electric charge (our intention) with the magnetic charge (our emotion), we create an electromagnetic signature that is equal to our state of being. All potentials exist in the quantum field as electromagnetic frequencies that you must align to with your electromagnetic signature – your awareness and energy.

In order to sustain life and health, our cells communicate with each other by exchanging vital information transmitted on different frequencies of energy. When a cell does not emit enough organized and coherent electromagnetic energy, that cell becomes unhealthy; it’s not able to share information with other cells very well, and without that exchange, it doesn’t have what it needs. So, the mechanistic version of the inner workings of the cell that we learned in high school biology is dated. The electromagnetic energy that the cell emits and receives is the life force that governs those molecules. In effect, we are quite literally beings of light, each radiating a vital life force and expressing an energy field around our bodies – the totality of each cell expressing and contributing to a vital field of energy that carries a message. The visible light energy spectrum – where we perceive the various array of colours present in this world we live in – makes up less than 1 percent of all the frequencies of light that we can measure. That means that the majority of frequencies are beyond our perception, and therefore most of our known reality in this universe cannot be experienced by our natural senses. There is a lot of information available to us besides what we can see with our physical eyes, such as radio waves, infrared, x-rays, gamma rays, and the quantum field (consciousness).

There are four states of consciousness that will help provide us with a framework: wakefulness, when we are aware and conscious; sleep, where we are unconscious and the body is restoring and repairing; dreaming, an altered state of consciousness when the body is catatonic but our minds are engaged in inner visual imagery and symbolism; and transcendental moments of consciousness, beyond our understanding of our physical reality, which change us and our world view forever.

There is a flow of energy moving through the body, just as with a magnet, there is a measurable electromagnetic field surrounding the body. There is a tube of energy called the pranic tube that runs along the spinal column. Yogis have known about this energetic tube for thousands of years. The more energy that moves through the physical spinal cord, the more energy that is created in the pranic tube, and the greater the expression of life. The body has energy centers and each energy center is an individual center of information that carries a corresponding level of consciousness and emits its own electromagnetic field that contributes to the body’s overall energy field. Each energy center is associated with individual glands, hormones, biochemistry, and plexus of neurons. Think of each of these individual clusters of neurological networks as mini-brains. Each energy center is activated on the subconscious level by the autonomic nervous system and consciousness.

All the energy centers in the body besides the heart are under control of the autonomic nervous system. We can influence these energy centers to function in a more balanced and integrated way. But to do that we must first slow down our brain waves to enter the subconscious operating systems of the autonomic nervous system. Elevated emotion is energy, and the longer you can hold your attention with open focus on each energy center with a state of elevated emotion, the more you will build a coherent energy field with a high frequency around your body. As each center draws new energy from the quantum field with your intention and attention, the body moves back towards balance and homeostasis. Dr. Dispenza’s team has routinely measured the increase in energy fields during meditation using a gas discharge visualization device. When we’re living in survival mode and we’re drawing from the invisible field of energy around the body, we diminish our body’s electromagnetic field. When energy is stuck in the first three energy centers because we are caught in a thinking and feeling loop, then there’s less current running through the body and there is less of an electromagnetic field. There is a way to get this energy that’s stored in the first three centers moving again, so the current will resume flowing and the body will expand the electromagnetic field. When you repeatedly tune into higher frequencies of energy and consciousness, your body experiences syntropy (enhanced order) instead of entropy (disorder, breakdown, chaos). Once you can quiet down your analytical, thinking mind and more readily tune in to this more orderly information from the quantum field, your body automatically responds by processing this new stream of consciousness and energy, thereby becoming more efficient, coherent, and healthy. Each of these energy centers become more orderly and more coherent, and over time, you can begin to affect real physical change epigenetically. His team has recorded numerous physical healings in this way.

If you’re going to disconnect from the outer world in meditation, you have to learn how to change your brain waves. From slowest to highest, the brain wave patterns are delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma. Most of the time that you are awake and conscious, you are in the beta range of brain-wave frequencies. Low-range beta is a relaxed wake state, mid-range beta is slightly more aroused, while high-range beta is high arousal in a stress state. You display the slower alpha brain waves when you are relaxed, calm, creative, and intuitive. Theta brains waves are even slower and take over when your mind is still awake but your body is relaxing, such as before falling asleep or during deep meditation. Delta brain waves are the slowest and usually come during deep restorative sleep, or during meditation with profound mystical experiences of oneness. Gamma brain waves indicate superconsciousness, such as during advanced meditation; often recorded in mystics.

When we slow down our brain waves from beta to alpha to theta to delta in meditation, it gives us an opportunity to let go of the outer world and focus on the inner world in the present moment. Your mind will wander back to the experiences and stimuli you are addicted to, but as you become aware of that program, you can keep settling your body and mind into the present moment, and sooner or later your body and mind will surrender. Once the analytical mind (beta waves) is out of the way, you can move from alpha to theta to delta brain waves – the state in which restorative functions in the body take place. Dr. Dispenza and his team often see their students reporting profound or mystical experiences in deep delta and gamma while their brains are more coherent and synchronized, and their hearts are in a very coherent state during meditation.

The heart produces the strongest electromagnetic field in the body – five thousand time greater in strength than the field produced by the brain. The heart’s electromagnetic field can be measured up to 8 to 10 feet away using a sensitive detector called a magnetometer. When you activate the heart by calling up elevated emotions, you are not only broadcasting that energy to every cell, you are also radiating that energy out into space. This is where the heart moves beyond biology and into physics. When you lead with your heart center you tend to be more loving, caring, kind, inspired, selfless, compassionate, giving, grateful, trusting, patient, and intuitive.

If you create more coherence in your heart and brain – and you repeatedly practice cultivating these states every day – then sooner or later you get better at opening your heart and making your brain work more proficiently. You would be more focused on a vision of a new future without being distracted by fear and limiting beliefs, and you could more easily feel the elevated emotions of that new future. As you create more coherence in your heart and brain, you create more coherence in your energy field, and this creates a clearer electromagnetic signature. As you continuously work on overcoming your fear, stress, trauma, body, and environment – slowing down your brain waves, connecting to the quantum field, and transcending this three-dimensional reality – it becomes increasingly easier and more familiar to activate your heart center and create. It’s a commonly accepted premise that when we are connected to the heart’s inner knowing, we can tap into its wisdom as a source of love and higher guidance.

Only about 5 percent of our mind is conscious (thoughts and awareness) and the remaining 95 percent is our subconscious mind (unconscious programming below our awareness). As your thinking brain – the neocortex – slows down, you are able to get beyond the analytical mind (also called the critical mind), which separates the conscious mind from the subconscious mind. Now you are able to move into the seat of your body’s operating system – the autonomic nervous system – and your brain can work in a more holistic fashion. When your heart becomes coherent, your autonomic nervous system responds by increasing your brain’s energy, creativity, and intuition, which has a positive effect on virtually every organ in the body. Now the heart and the brain are working together, causing you to feel more whole, connected, and content – not only within your own body, but also with everybody and everything. From this creative state of wholeness and oneness, magic begins to happen in your life because you’re no longer creating from duality or separation – you’re no longer waiting for something outside of you to provide relief from the internal feelings of lack, emptiness, or separation. Instead, you are becoming more familiar with creating new experiences of yourself. If you keep activating your heart center properly enough times during the creative process each day, in time you will feel more like your future has already happened. The benefits of heart coherence are numerous, including lowering blood pressure, and improving the nervous system, hormonal balance, brain function, and enhanced intuition.

When the heart is beating incoherently, we feel out of balance, fearful, on edge, anxious, and forced. Because the body is operating in survival mode, we function more from an animalistic, primitive perspective than from the higher heart-centered emotions of our greater humanity and divinity. Heart incoherence is brought on by stress, fear, and trauma, which is the body and mind’s response to disruptions in ourselves and in our environment. The parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) functions best when we feel safe and the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) is activated mostly when we feel unsafe. The stress, fear, and trauma we experience when we feel unsafe is not necessarily about the event itself but the result of unmanaged emotional reactions to the event. If we keep thinking, acting, and feeling the same way without changing anything about ourselves, the majority of who we are becomes a memorized set of automatic thoughts, reflexive emotional reactions, unconscious habits and behaviours, subconscious beliefs and perceptions, and routine familiar attitudes.

Through scientific inquiry, the heart slowly ceased to be recognized as our connection to feelings, emotions, and our higher selves. It has only been through the new science of the last few decades that we’ve began to reconcile, understand, and recognize the true significance of the heart both as a source that generates a powerful electromagnetic field and as our connection to our intuition in the quantum field. We know that the heart, beyond its obvious role in sustaining life, is not simply a muscular pump that moves blood throughout our body, but an organ capable of influencing feelings and emotions. The heart is a sensory organ that guides our decision-making ability, as well as our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. The heart is a symbol that transcend time, place, and culture.

The intrinsic cardiac nervous system, with as many as 40,000 neurons, is the heart’s nervous system that functions independently of the brain. The discovery of this led to a new field of science called neurocardiology. The heart and brain are connected by efferent (descending) and afferent (ascending) neural pathways; however, 90 percent of the connecting nerve fibres ascend from the heart to the brain. These direct, afferent neural pathways continuously send signals and information that interacts with and modifies activity in the brain’s higher cognitive and emotional centers. These signals from the heart to the brain connect through the vagus nerve. The more heart centered you are, the less likely you will react to stressors in life. The less energy you have in your heart center, the more likely you will be living in survival mode. Research also shows that energetic interactions between the heart and the brain exist through electromagnetic fields. When we focus our attention on our heart and emotions, the heart’s beating acts as an amplifier, which increases the synchronization between our heart and brain, and creates coherence not only in the physical organs, but also in the electromagnetic field surrounding the body.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a physiological phenomenon that measures environmental and psychological challenges as reflected by the variation of the heart’s beat-to-beat intervals. Among its uses, HRV can measure the flexibility of our heart and nervous system (which reflects our health and fitness), as well as how well we are balancing our mental and emotional lives. By studying the heart’s rhythms as measured by HRV, scientists can detect patterns that deepen our understanding of how humans process emotions and the effects of feelings and emotions on our well-being. In this way, continued HRV research offers us a unique window into the communication between the heart, brain, and emotions. During the 1990s, researchers at HeartMath Institute (HMI) discovered that when people focused on their hearts and evoked elevated emotions such as appreciation, joy, gratitude, and compassion, those feelings could be observed as coherent patterns in the heart’s rhythms. The opposite was true of stressful feelings, which caused the heart rhythms to be incoherent. This discovery linked emotional states to HRV patterns. In addition to HMI’s research findings, Dr. Dispenza’s data strongly suggests that sustained heart-centered emotions promote healthier gene expression epigenetically.

From a scientific perspective, living in stress is living in survival mode. When we perceive a stressful circumstance that threatens us in some way, our primitive nervous system, called the sympathetic nervous system, increases and the body mobilizes an enormous amount of energy in response to the stressor. The pupils dilate so we can see better; the heart rate and respiratory rate increase so we can run, fight, or hide; more glucose is released into the bloodstream to make more energy available to our cells; and our blood flow is shunted to the extremities and away from our internal organs so we can move quickly if needed. The immune system initially dials up and then dials down as adrenaline and cortisol flood the muscles, providing a rush of energy to either escape or fend off the threat. Circulation moves out of our rational forebrain and is relayed to our hindbrain, so we have less capacity to think creatively and instead rely more on our instinct to instantly react.

Without a doubt, it’s a challenge to maintain our mental and emotional equilibrium in today’s face-paced, stress-filled, productivity-focused, hurry-up-and-finish culture, and the loss of this equilibrium can have serious ramifications for our health. All of us are built for dealing with short-term bursts of stress. When the event is over, the body normally returns to balance within hours, increasing in energy levels and restoring its vital resources. But when the stress doesn’t end within hours, the body never returns to balance. In truth, no organism in nature can endure living in emergency mode for extended periods of time. Because of our large brains, human beings are capable of thinking about their problems, reliving past traumas, or even forecasting future worst-case scenarios and thus turning on the cascade of stress chemicals by thought alone. We can knock our brains and bodies out of normal physiology just by thinking about an all-too-familiar past or trying to control an unpredictable future. If not resolved, eventually physical manifestations appear. Chronic physical problems eventually manifest emotional challenges, like anxiety and depression. Science tells us that such chronic stress pushes the genetic buttons that create disease epigenetically.

Emotions are the chemical consequences (or feedback) of our experiences. As our senses record incoming information from our environment, clusters of neurons organize into networks. When they are recorded into a pattern, the brain creates an emotion that is then sent throughout the body. When we experience a significant change inside of us, the brain pays attention to whomever or whatever is causing the change outside of us, and takes a snapshot of the outer experience. That’s called a memory. The memory of an event can become branded neurologically in the brain as neurons fire together and wire together, and that scene becomes recorded in our brain’s gray matter. The combination of various people or objects at that particular time and place from that profound experience is etched in our neural architecture as a holographic image. That’s how we create a long-term memory. The experience becomes imprinted in the neural circuitry, and the emotion is stored in the body. When you align everything material in your external world with the memories of your past experiences, you recognize them as familiar. This is called pattern recognition and it’s the process whereby most people perceive reality through a lens of the past. When we experience a traumatic event, we tend to think neurologically within the circuitry of that experience and we tend to feel chemically within the boundaries of the emotions from that event, so our entire state of being – how we think and how we feel – becomes biologically stuck in the past. With constant triggers, we are constantly thinking, acting, and feeling our past trauma. Since how we think, act, and feel is our personality, our personality can be completely created by the past. It’s also possible that genes were activated or deactivated by a traumatic experience that might keep your body from healing or even create a disease or dysfunction.

When you wake up in the morning and start thinking about your problems, which are connected to memories of the past or stresses about the future, it creates familiar feelings such as unhappiness, sadness, pain, grief, anxiety, frustration, unworthiness, or guilt. If those familiar emotions influence the choices you make, then the behaviours you exhibit and the experiences you create for yourself are going to be predictable – and your life is going to stay the same. Basically, it means your body and mind is on autopilot, running a series of unconscious programs, and over time, and your past becomes your future. So, if we are re-creating the past day after day, thinking the same thoughts and feeling the same emotions, we are broadcasting the same electromagnetic field over and over again – sending out the same energy with the same message. The only way we can change our lives is to change our energy – to change the electromagnetic field we are constantly broadcasting. In other words, to change our state of being, we have to change how we think and feel, so we can change our vibration. In order to change our body into a new genetic expression, the inner emotion we create has to be greater than the emotion from that past experience. Now we are changing the inner environment of the body, which is the outer environment of the cell, and the genes for health can be up-regulated while the genes for disease can be down-regulated. The more profound the emotion, the more we are going to signal those genes to change the structure and function of our body, such as by activating the genes for neurogenesis.

By going within and changing our unconscious beliefs, overcoming doubt, fear, and trauma, changing habits, and releasing reflexive emotional states – which have become hardwired in our brain and emotionally conditioned in our body – we can now be more committed to believing in a new future than believing in a familiar painful past. During meditations we can teach our body and mind what our future can be like ahead of the actual experience. Our body and mind do not know the difference between the real event and the one we imagine and emotionally embrace. We can break the habit of being our old self and invest in a whole new self instead. A powerful way to affect the autonomic nervous system is to change our internal state on a regular basis, such as through consistent meditation. Slowly but surely, we can reprogram our body and mind back into balance. When you maintain and sustain elevated emotional states in meditation, independent of the conditions of your external environment, you can gain access to the kind of high-level intuition. Your higher self intuition fosters a better understanding of yourself and others, helps prevent stressful patterns in your life, increases mental clarity, and promotes better decision-making. When that happens, we then want to express our truth – what we’ve learned, or the love or wholeness we feel. After this, dormant areas of the brain open so that the veil of illusion is lifted and we perceive a broader spectrum of reality than we ever saw before. We then begin to feel enlightened, and the body and mind moves into harmony and balance. Once we feel the enlightened energy, we begin to truly feel worthy where we can receive the fruits of our efforts – visions, dreams, insights, manifestations, and knowingness that come not from anywhere in our minds and bodies as memories, but from intuition in the quantum field.

Once you have a mystical experience and get your first glance behind the veil, you can never go back to business as usual, and with every subsequent mystical experience you have, you move closer to source, wholeness, oneness, and the indivisible quantum field. Nearly every person is capable of engaging, experiencing, and accessing the mystical in the quantum field. With regards to a mystical experience, Dr. Dispenza said “It seems more real to me than anything I have ever known in my life, and I lost track of space and time.” When you start having these very profound, unknown mystical experiences, you have one of two choices: You can contract in fear because it’s the unknown, or you can surrender and trust – because it’s the unknown. The more you surrender and trust, the deeper and more profound your experiences become, and because the experience is so profound, you’re not going to want to rouse yourself back to wakefulness, thereby changing your brain waves back to beta. Instead, this is the time to surrender, relax, and go even deeper into this transcendental state of consciousness.

Imagine who you could become if you stopped living by the hallmarks of the lower three energy centers, including survival, fear, trauma, pain, separation, anger, and competition, and instead lived from the heart and operated out of love, oneness, and connection to all things, both visible and non-visible. By having enough interdimensional experiences from the quantum field, mystics no longer saw equal to the genes they were born with. They no longer processed things the way the brain they’d been given at birth had been wired – the way the human brain had been imprinted for thousands of years, fear-based and confused. Instead, because of their interaction with the quantum field, mystics created the awareness, the neural circuitry, and the mind to perceive a different reality – one that’s always been there: oneness, love, clarity, and mysticism.

With enough practice we can replace old mental scripts of feeling unworthy, fearful, traumatized, or insecure with more elevated states of being and fall deeply in love with our lives. Which in turn, ripples out to our families and communities, continuously expanding our vibrational influence of love, harmony and coherence throughout the world. We can use the breath in meditation to liberate trapped emotions and that energy becomes available for higher purposes. We have more energy to heal ourselves, create a different life, manifest more wealth, or have a mystical experience. Those negative emotions that are stored in the body as energy can be transmuted into a different type of energy carrying a different message through the elevated emotions of inspiration, freedom, unconditional love, and gratitude. We can use our breath as an instrument of consciousness to ascend our energy – transmuting negative emotions into creative emotions.

The central nervous system is one of the body’s most important systems because it controls and coordinates all the other systems in the body. You can think of the nervous system as the electrical wiring that runs the machine of your body. Inside the closed system of the central nervous system is cerebrospinal fluid that’s filtered from the blood in the brain. The cerebrospinal fluid bathes the brain and the spinal cord, and is responsible for giving the central nervous system buoyancy. It acts as a cushion to protect the brain and spinal cord from trauma, and it flows in various paths that transports nutrients and chemicals to different parts of the central nervous system. By its very nature, this fluid acts as a conduit to enhance electrical charges in the nervous system.

You have a bone at the base of your spine called your sacrum. On top of that sits the spinal column, which extends all the way up to your skull. Inside that closed system is the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain and the spinal cord, which is an extension of the brain. The skull and the spinal column protect this most delicate nervous system. As you inhale, your sacrum slightly flexes back and the sutures of your skull expand. As you exhale, your sacrum slightly flexes forward and the sutures close. It is this natural action of breathing that slowly propagates a wave that moves cerebrospinal fluid up and down the spinal cord and throughout the brain.

If you contracted the intrinsic muscles of your perineum (your pelvic floor), then your lower abdomen, then your upper abdomen, and squeezed, while breathing in from your sacrum to the top of your head, you would accelerate the movement of cerebrospinal fluid up your spine. That’s significant because cerebrospinal fluid is made up of proteins and salts in solution that dissolve and become electrically charged. If you take a charged molecule and accelerate it – as you would if you pulled those charged molecules up your spinal cord by intense breathing – you create an inductance field. An inductance field is an invisible field of electromagnetic energy that moves in a spiral motion in the direction the charged molecules are moving. The more you accelerate the charged molecules, the bigger and more powerful the inductance field. As the inductance field is created by the acceleration of the cerebrospinal fluid up the spine, it draws stored energy from the first three centers to the brain, which stimulates gamma brain wave patterns causing a heightened state of awareness, coherence, attention, and energy related to more creative, transcendental, and mystical experiences. Once there is a faster current flowing from the base of the spine all the way to the brain, the body’s electromagnetic field is expanded in the shape of a torus. When the energy reaches the thalamus of the brain, it is also relayed to the pineal gland, which releases chemical derivates of melatonin with profound effects.

A new form of bio-mineralization has been studied in the human pineal gland and consists of small crystals that are less than 20 microns in length. These crystals are responsible for an electromechanical, biological transduction mechanism in the pineal gland due to their structure and piezoelectric properties. The piezoelectric effect occurs when you apply pressure to certain materials and that mechanical stress is changed into an electric charge. The pineal gland contains calcite crystals made of calcium, carbon, and oxygen, and because of their structure, they express this effect under pressure from cerebrospinal fluid.

As we inhale through the nose and contract our intrinsic muscles, follow our breath from the perineum all the way up our spine to the top of our head with our awareness, and then hold our breath and squeeze those muscles more, we’re increasing intrathecal pressure in the brain with cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the pineal gland. Surrounding the pineal gland with pressurized cerebrospinal fluid compresses the stacked crystals inside the gland, which translates into an electrical charge by the piezoelectric effect, expanding the pineal glands electromagnetic field. When the crystals generating the electromagnetic field reach their limit, they contract and the electromagnetic field reverses direction and moves inward toward the pineal gland, compressing the crystals again, producing yet another electromagnetic field and creating a pulsating effect of the field. Repeated breathwork and muscles contractions continues to activate the piezoelectric effect of the pineal gland. On the surface of the pineal gland are tiny hairs called cilia. The action of the accelerated cerebrospinal fluid over the pineal gland tickles the cilia, which overstimulates the pineal gland. Because the pineal gland is shaped like a phallus, the stimulation produced by the acceleration of fluid moving past it, combined with the electrical stimulation created by an increase in intrathecal pressure in a closed system, causes the pineal gland to secrete some very profound, upgraded metabolites of melatonin into the brain.

The inductance field created during this breathwork draws the energy from those lower centers and delivers it directly to the brain stem in a spiralling motion. As the energy travels up through each vertebra, it passes the nerves that run from the spinal cord to different parts of the body, and some of that energy is then transferred to the peripheral nerves that affect the tissues and organs of the body. The current that runs along these nerve channels activates the body’s electrical meridian system, resulting in all the other systems of the body getting more energy. Once the energy reaches the brain stem, it must pass through the reticular formation. It’s the job of the reticular formation to constantly edit information going from the brain to the body, as well as from the body to the brain. The reticular formation is part of a system called the reticular activating system (RAS), which is responsible for levels of wakefulness. Once this energy reaches the brain stem, the thalamic gate opens and energy moves through the reticular formation to the thalamus, where it relays information to the neocortex. Now the reticular formation is open and you experience greater levels of awareness and the brain goes into gamma brain wave patterns. There are two individual thalami in the midbrain, which feed each hemisphere in the neocortex. The pineal gland sits right in between them facing the back of the brain. When the energy reaches each thalamic junction, these thalami send a signal directly to the pineal gland to secrete its powerful metabolites into the brain.

It’s this translation of energy into chemistry in the pineal gland that primes you for those transcendental, mystical moments. As higher frequencies of energy and higher states of consciousness interact with the pineal gland, one of the first things to happen is that these frequencies transmute melatonin into its derivatives. One class of these chemicals is called benzodiazepines, which relaxes the analytical mind by suppressing the neural activity in the amygdala and inhibits chemicals that cause you to feel fear, anger, agitation, aggression, sadness, or emotional pain. Now your body feels calm and relaxed, but your mind is awakened. Another chemical created from melatonin is part of a class of very powerful antioxidants called pinolines, which are anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-heart disease, anti-stroke, anti-neurodegenerative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial. It’s a powerful upgrade from melatonin’s healing properties. Another derivative of melatonin that we produce amplifies energy in the brain from within the brain. This is the same chemical found in electric eels that has phosphorescent and bioluminescent properties. This chemical enhances the imagery that the mind internally perceives so that everything looks as though it’s made of vivid, surreal, luminescent light. Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is yet another derivative of melatonin and is a powerful hallucinogenic substance. DMT creates transformational spiritual visions and profound insights into the mystery of the self. Many of Dr. Dispenza’s students during the pineal gland meditation, when they connect to the quantum field and stimulate the pineal gland, report amazing encounters beyond their known physical world, their experience becomes filled with energy and light, and they received information beyond their memory base and the predictable knowns of their daily lives. This new dimension is difficult to articulate with language. The novel experiences that result occur as a complete unknown, and if you surrender to it, it’s always worth it.

These pineal gland metabolite chemicals that your body produces in this breathwork meditation fit into the same receptor sites as serotonin and melatonin (which are also produced by the pineal gland). These upgraded chemical signals, however, allow for enhanced communication with the quantum field. In this way, we receive profound visuals and intuitive knowledge of how to better know ourself and our place in the universe. When we have these mystical experiences, because our nervous system is so coherent, it’s able to tune in to these super coherent messages. This may include sacred geometrical patterns, which appear as alive, have depth, and comprise mathematical and very coherent fractal patterns, and holographic symbolic imagery, never ending and infinitely complex.

Stimulation of the pineal gland causes release of oxytocin and vasopressin from the pituitary gland. Oxytocin is known to produce elevated emotions that cause your heart to swell with love and joy – which is why it’s been referred to as the chemical of emotional connection or the bonding hormone. When oxytocin levels are elevated above normal, most people experience intense feelings of love, forgiveness, compassion, joy, wholeness, and empathy. These states are the beginning of unconditional love. As oxytocin levels go up, this shuts down the survival centers in the brain’s amygdala, meaning it cools off the circuits for fear, sadness, pain, anxiety, aggression, and anger. Then the only thing we feel is a love for life.

At Dr. Dispenza’s advanced workshops, every participant receives a software program called Mind Movies to make a movie about their future self and their desired life. Depending on what the student wants to create in their life, the movie they make about their future exposes them to images and specific written suggestions and information designed to assist them in creating it. You can think of a Mind Movie as a 21st century vision board (a tool used to clarify, focus on, and maintain specific life goals), except it’s dynamic instead of static. They then watch a kaleidoscope video to access their subconscious mind, followed by their inspirational Mind Movie. The kaleidoscope uses ancient geometric patterns that reflect repeating fractal patterns, like those found in nature, which activate lower brain centers and bypasses the associative centers related to memory primarily located in the left hemisphere. They must get into a meditative state and slow their brain waves to increase suggestibility. The goals of this approach include: helping students get clear on the intention they want to create in their future; programming their conscious mind, as well as their unconscious mind, into that new future; changing their brain and body to biologically feel like the future has already happened; and repeatedly associating those images with music to create new neural networks in the brain. So many young people today are overwhelmed because of the frenetic pace, pressure, and demands of social media and modern society. Founders of Mind Movies are using the technology in schools to help teens envision a brighter future, as well as in corporate settings for team building, and in health care settings for healing. As you repeatedly visit your future in your heart and mind, all the thoughts, choices, actions, experiences, and emotions you experience between your present reality and your future reality become course corrections that deliver you to your target.

Whether the result of tragedy, genocide, or a world war, survival emotions such as blame, hate, rage, competition, and retribution have resulted in an endless, unnecessary trail of pain, suffering, oppression, and death. The results of this have caused humans to live in opposition and conflict rather than peace and harmony. This is a time in history where we can break that cycle. This is a pivotal moment in the story of humanity where ancient wisdom and modern science are intersecting to provide us with the technology and scientific understanding to learn not only how to more efficiently and effectively manage our emotions, but also what that means for our health, relationships, energy levels, and personal and collective evolution. This allows us to alter the way we act with one another, replacing stressful situations with positive experiences that give us energy, fill our spirit, and leave us with a sense of wholeness, connection, and unity with all that is. The brain may think, but when you turn your heart into an instrument of perception, it knows. If more people increase their vibration it increases the vibration of people around them. It is difficult to be negative around positive people because they do not feed into the negative mindset, but rather offer a positive perspective.

We are living in a time of extremes, and these extremes are both a reflection of an old consciousness that can no longer survive and a future consciousness in which planet Earth, and all of us on Earth, are transforming. This old consciousness is driven by survival emotions like hatred, violence, prejudice, anger, fear, suffering, competition, and pain – emotions that serve to seduce us into believing that we are separate from one another. The illusion of separation taxes and divides individuals, families, communities, societies, countries, and nature. Because everything is moving toward extreme polarities, undeniably many of the current systems – whether political, economic, religious, cultural, educational, medical, or environmental – are being pulled apart as antiquated paradigms collapse. We can see this most prominently in journalism, particularly mainstream media, where no one knows what to believe anymore. Some of these reflect people’s choices, while others reflect increasing levels of personal awareness. One thing is apparent, however, in this age of information, everything that is not in alignment with the evolution of this new consciousness is coming to the surface. Depending on your outlook, this could be either an exciting time of awakening or an anxiety-inducing moment in history. Regardless, the old must fall away or break down so that something more functional can emerge in its place. As the old constructs collapse, chaos ensues, allowing for emergence of a higher order. This is how people, species, consciousness, and even the planet itself evolve.

Dr. Dispenza is part of Project Coherence, in which thousands of people come together at the exact same time on the exact same day to increase the frequency of this planet and of everyone who lives here. More than 23 peer-reviewed articles and more than 50 peace-gathering projects show that such events can lower incidents of violence, war, crime, and traffic accidents, and, at the same time, increase economic growth. When a group of people come together with the specific intention or collective consciousness to change something or to produce an outcome, if they create it with the energy and emotions of peace, unity, or oneness – without physically doing anything – that unified community can produce changes 70 percent of the time. His team has measured the energy in the room during their workshops and watched how it changes with a community of 550 – 1500 people raising their energy frequency together, and creating heart and brain coherence. Imagine a large body of people all elevating their energy and then placing their intention on that energy that lives be enriched, bodies be healed, dreams come true, futures be realized, and the mystical become common in our lives.

Because we are constantly deepening and broadening our understanding of the interconnectedness of all living systems, and because each of us is a contributor to the Earth’s electromagnetic field, we can collectively create and guide a new peaceful and prosperous future upon this planet. It all begins by making a habit of practicing leading with our hearts, raising our vibration, and tuning into higher information and frequencies of love and wholeness. It requires the evolution of a new collective consciousness, because it is through the acknowledgement and application of the interconnectedness of human consciousness that we can change the course of history. We must make a stand for principles, values, and moral imperatives like freedom, justice, truth, and equality. When we achieve this through the power of the collective, we will unite behind the energy of oneness rather than be controlled by the illusion of separation.

In my experience, your heart knows who you are and what you are here for. We must get out of the way with our fears, our rational mind, and our ego in order for us to be fully expressed by our true self, the core of who we are. It is important to note that there are other ways to connect to the quantum field (infinite intelligence, universal consciousness) and that there are both positive and negative energies that exist there. If you connect with fear, you will attract negative information that will ultimately guide you to the lessons you need to learn to get back on your path. If you connect with love, you will attract positive information that will guide you on your path. The most important thing any human can do is find your heart, connect to the quantum field, discover your soul’s purpose, let go of your fear and trauma, follow your intuition, and live to your full potential. In this way, nearly everyone can become a mystic. Trust the process, enjoy the journey.
