You Are The Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter

Product Information

He emphasizes the point that if we want to heal from something, we need to signal new genes in new ways to create new results. Your brain and body don’t know the difference between having an actual experience in your life and just thinking about the experience—neurochemically, it’s the same.”

Actually, if "higher" emotions (which I think is an incorrect term when what he wants to say is positive emotions), the very high emotions he wants you to use as you go into the low-frequency theta brainwaves, have a high energy and have a high frequency ... that's a contradiction. It can't both be high and low. Meditation takes us from survival to creation; from separation to connection; from imbalance to balance; from emergency mode to growth-and-repair mode; and from the limiting emotions of fear, anger, and sadness to the expansive emotions of joy, freedom, and love.” And finally, anyone who tries to tie the realm of Quantum Physics and neurophysiology are beyond presumptuous. It's pure overreach and unfounded science. We can modify our genetic destiny by turning on the genes we want and turning off the ones we don’t want through working with the various factors in the environment that program our genes.I would give it 5 stars for the positive change it can make in people’s lives. But I can’t give it more than three because big claims require big proofs and I haven’t seen many of those. I suggest reading it first because it has a boatload of amazing examples from medical research and trials. It will pump you up. If you know physics, i suggest you skip the quantum mechanics stuff (Joe applies the science of the small to the big and metaphysical). Epigenetics is great. Alpha State: Brain waves start to slow down out of thinking mind. We feel more calm, peaceful and grounded. We often find ourselves in an “alpha state” a bath, a walk in the woods, or during any activity that helps relax the body and mind.

This process involves thinking about your future actions, mentally planning your choices, and focusing your mind on the new experience... He thinks that one of the most important things you do to change your life is to decide who you want to be, and sit down and meditate on that every morning until you feel like a different person. You are literally wiring your brain in new ways to make that a reality.He makes the point that most people do not heal and deal with the same problems over and over because they are simply just signaling the same genes day in and day out by thinking the same thoughts and doing the same routine everyday. All of this suggests that the effects of an intervention—whether it is pharmaceutical, herbal, dietary, or something else—depend in large part on our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about that intervention.

Think about the person you want to be, and identify the habits and thoughts that person would have, and start practicing! What would a healthy, joyful, and successful person think, believe, and do? Scientists began to become amazed when the placebo drug (that had no healing effects) would suddenly produce spontaneous healing in their patients. Beta State: Where we function for most of the day, Beta State is associated with the “working” or “thinking mind”: analytical, planning, assessing and categorizing. Then he shares scientific evidence (including color brain scans) of amazing healings from his workshops, in which participants learn his consciousness shifting model of personal transformation, based on practical applications of the so-called placebo effect.USA Today. – Когда я сижу на собрании, смотрю кино или ворочаюсь в постели, прежде чем уснуть, то всегда визуализирую передачи или атакующие маневры. Множество из этих приемов, которые я применил в игре, были мысленно отработаны заранее. Когда я валяюсь на диване, то представляю, как их нужно делать». В той игре Роджерс сумел также ловко увернуться от трех опасных захватов, о чем позже заметил: «Я сперва визуализировал большую часть этих приемов, прежде чем применить их на поле». Your mind is so incredibly important to the success or failure ofvirtually everything you do, from relationships, school, work, andfinances to overall happiness. You Are the Placebois a powerfulexploration of your most important resource and offers many practicaltools to optimize your mind to enhance your overall success. I love Dr.Dispenza’s way of communicating complex ideas in a way all ofus can understand and benefit from.” This book has an excellent premise. The placebo effect is well documented, but it's hard to self-induce. For instance, people who take placebo antidepressants do almost as well as those who get the real deal -- so what if you could create that placebo effect *internally*, at will? There is some usefull concepts on how to percieve your thoughts as determiners of your life. But all the references to quantum physics are factualy incorrect. Also neuroscience here is being used metaforically not realisticaly without Joe Dispenza mentioning it. Since he does not give any proofs of healings in his workshops as well as his own healing after bike accident, we must be critical and realise that it is probably not true and ment to collect your money buy attending his workshops.

Dr. Joe Despenza talks about the new science of epigenetics. Meaning, we can change our DNA based on our thoughts and environment. Every thought we think is signaling our genes to express in a certain way. Toxic thinking leads to toxic expression and problems in the body- Positive thinking leads to positive gene expression and health.Even though I have not read any of the authors previous titles I was very impressed by his writing skills and the way he is able to put forth a wealth of information in a way that allows any reader to fully grasp these concepts and implement them into their own lives. From my experience with patients with life-threatening illnesses,I have learned the truth as shared in You Are the Placebo. The bodyexperiences what the mind believes. I have learned how to deceivepeople into health for their benefit. Doctors can kill or cure with‘wordswordswords’ when they become ‘swordswordswords.’ We allhave the potential for self-induced healing built into us. The keyis to know how to achieve your potential. Read and learn.” You need to figure out which thoughts and behaviors you are engaging in that are signaling the genes to give you the problems you are dealing with now. If you need to do something later, set an alarm 10 minutes before you need to get going so you don’t end abruptly. The author’s intention for this book is to place the reader in the driver’s seat, to empower us to create the needed changes in our lives. It’s about transforming illness and disease, about healing not only the body, but also the mind. His purpose is to introduce the one healing modality that most captured his attention and that is healing through thought alone.
