Joe Dispenza -Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself -Chapter One, Quantum You Review

If I were to sum up this first chapter in a few words it would be:

Thoughts + Feelings =  test-tube results

Let's unpack this ...

Chapter 1 - Introduces you to a bit of quantum physics and it's important to embrace the concept that your mind has an effect on your world.  The observer effect in quantum physics states that where you direct your attention is where you place your energy.

One of the reasons why people have a challenge being able to break away from the way that they are perceiving themselves in the world is because they're trapped in a Newtonian viewpoint of the world, this old belief system.

Descartes and Newton established a mindset that if reality operated on mechanistic principles then humanity had little influence on outcomes, but of course all that was blown apart when Albert Einstein produced the famous equation E = mc ²  demonstrating that energy and matter are so fundamentally related that they are one and the same.

So this directly contradicted Newton and Descartes while ushering in a new understanding of how the universe functions.

'Now after all that, here are a couple quotes from Dr. Joe Dispenza's book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself'
"if an atom is 99.999% energy and . 00001 % physical substance then we are more nothing then something."  and then he says...

When understanding that we're living in this quantum universe, then you realize that spending time and energy on what is is really only spending your time on such an insignificant portion that it really doesn't have that much bearing on reality.

Let's look at a study that was done from one of the references in his book.

So they had these three groups of people that had each one of them holding a test tube with DNA and the reason that they use DNA is because DNA is more stable.  It's more rigid than cells and bacteria.

had to hold DNA and feel strong elevated feelings of love and appreciation for 2 minutes

Had to hold this test tube of DNA and they also were to be feeling strong elevated feelings and having the intention in their minds to change that DNA.

Group three:
Had to hold that test tube of DNA but instead of feeling any emotions, all they would do is just hold in their mind the intention to change that DNA

Results:
Group 1 was zero difference
Group 3 also had zero difference.
Group 2 had up to a 25% change in DNA.

What's most striking about is that they were able to wind and unwind the structure of DNA just with thoughts and feelings and with their intentions.

Science folks might want to take a look at the study here:

Take a look at this one line which says:

'sustained positive emotions such as appreciation love or compassion associated with highly ordered or coherent patterns in the heart rhythms reflecting greater synchronization between the two branches of the autonomic nervous system'.

In other words the quantum field responds not to what we want, it responds to who we are being.

Think about how you are allowing yourself to be in the world and what kind of feelings and emotions that you're producing day-to-day, habitually and they'll give you an understanding as to how things keep staying the same.

Let's give this more support with another quote from Dr Joe Dispenza's book.

 Let's talk about these words like never, no one ever, always and everyone.   These are known as universal quantifiers and so when when I'm coaching somebody I have them pay attention to the use of those kinds of words because in a sense they are false.

When someone says:

If you ever find yourself saying stuff like never, always or everyone, say it right back to yourself to prevent programming yourself with false beliefs.

For myself, I might think "I'll never get this video finished."   Then I just say that 'never' word right back to myself.

Never?

And then I realize that's a false belief!  Thinking unclear like that can have me locked into own thinking by using that kind of language.

'I'll never move on!'
'I won't ever get over this!'
'Everything is totally ruined!'
'Why is it always my fault?'

Those are lies that, if said loud enough and with some feeling, it's going to become part of you and built into your neurology and then you'll really believe those toxic lies!

Next I want to talk about this last sentence here where the example is 'it's my genetics, I'm just like my mother.'

There's a study called epigenetics.  Epi, meaning above and what that means is you can go above your genetics with your thoughts.  Our genes respond to the perception of the environment.  If you change your perception, you can actually change gene expression.

Let's get right back on track now that we've looked out some of the ways to begin breaking the habit of being yourself.  Changing the words and changing perception.

Now let's use this in more beneficial ways.

In terms of quantum creating, can you give thanks for something that exists as a potential in the quantum field but has not yet happened in your reality?

I'll go first and share a silly example.  Let's say that I picked some kind of weird bizarre notion that hasn't happened yet.  Let's say my goal is to win the Academy Award for Best Actor when I'm a hundred years old.  I haven't had any acting lessons but let's just use this as an example.

Now it's your turn to think about how to apply that to yourself.

And before you do that, here is another quote...

'In terms of quantum creating, can you give thanks for “something that exists as a potential in the quantum field but has not yet happened in your reality? If so, you are moving from cause and effect (waiting for something outside of you to make a change inside of you) to causing an effect (changing something inside of you to produce an effect outside of you).
When you are in a state of gratitude, you transmit a signal into the field that an event has already occurred. Gratitude is more than an intellectual thought process. You have to feel as though whatever you want is in your reality at this very moment. Thus, your body (which only understands feelings) must be convinced that it has the emotional quotient of the future experience, happening to you now.”
-Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself

 

When you think back to that test tube experiment where thoughts plus feelings produce test-tube results, that people were able to actually make shifts in DNA.  So when you recognize that this is real, that makes it a lot easier to be breaking the habit of being yourself by understanding the true value of being able to control your states of being in ways that are far more empowering for you and are a greater representation of the 'you' that you'd rather be.

At the end of the book are meditations to follow which some find difficult to relax too. There’s a better option. Check out this brainwave guidance therapy audio session for yourself, from Brainwave Research UK. This free audio session will benefit anyone looking to normalize brain activity (get out of being stuck in beta and into the tranquility of alpha), to feel more empowered, clearer, balanced, calmer, happier, and more peaceful.
