It would be very cool to see both Jonathan and her going to the retreat and tell us about it afterwards, each one from their own very different perspectives!
Wow, Jonathan's way of communicating what Mayim was expressing was actually super cool. It was so concise and easy to follow. Dr.Joe was also such a great guest: straightforward, active listener, and compassionate at the same time.
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by an upsetting event happening in their lives that takes them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. Why are so many people across the world suddenly having their appendix removed? The appendix is associated with “being in fear for one’s life”. The HEALING phase is the rupture/inflammation.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
Jonathan’s breakdown at the end was so on point. Mayim, goodness girl, you are so stuck in your *paradigm*. At the same time it’s wonderful that you are willing to challenge yourself by talking with someone like Dr Joe. By the way, he doesn’t just “purport” the changes that have happened to people, including people who had been suicidal with deep, deep depression. Just watch the testimonials from these people themselves. They will tell you how much their lives have been changed, and in the end isn’t that all that really matters?
Thanks for the reply. At that whole beginning section of her talk, and the time stamp you are pointing me to, she is basically paraphrasing his bio. You can see that she’s reading off her tablet and trying to present it in her own words. This doesn’t mean she believes any of it, only presenting what he says about himself. I’m not saying she needs to believe any of it. Everyone is free to believe what they want. However what I previously commented on was her use of the word “purported” in regards to the results of his work. There is nothing “purported” about it. People are seeing real abs actual results.
I got the sense she is just hyper sensitive to the opinions of the intellectuals who worship science like a religion. These are the people that use science to feel safe instead of feeling a sense of curiosity. I thought the big warning label at the beginning was extreme but those are the people that usually need to be talked through basic ideas like we all have different life experiences therefore our opinions on things will be varied. That group tends to not appreciate outliers and freethinkers. Ironically corporate funded studies that do the study and report the study and have vested interest of the study make them feel safer. An open minded scientist or intellectual tends to be punished by their peers all throughout history and especially today with the media fully on their side. I actually don’t blame her for being super careful around these fear based humans.
Dr Joe makes some good points, to be sure, but just doesn't bridge that gap for me. As far as I'm concerned, Dr. Joe's best point is in visualizing the goal "as if" it's already true. But I'm not ready to attend his seminar. My question is whether he is living "as if" he's a good enough teacher to convince the world that they can be healed? Michael Singer speaks about applying mindfulness or awareness moment by moment in everyday life (not just meditation, but meditation is a great tool) and gives examples and guidance on how that can look, in Living Untethered especially. I've used Michael's advice and it works for me. He also says to see yourself as already having achieved the goal, where the goal is overcoming attachment, anger, depression, etc. That's been really useful for me, and it spoke to me. In Michael's teaching, he doesn't talk about healing the body per se, but I can see how that's possible. I've been able to progress with tolerating hardship, pain, attachment, anger using his teachings. When you see progress in smaller steps, it is motivating and that's what creates belief in greater possibilities for me at least.
I've followed Dr. Joe for years and he's changed my life in so many ways. Mayim, you need to snap out of the "diagnosis" stuff. You are not a diagnosis, but keep thinking that and you will always be. The best thing I ever did was just give up all of the self-obsession.
Well said. Also, not easy to quiet the constantly active mind and just BE. Tolle can be helpful to re-orient from monkey mind to just being (staying present). Once I experienced Being for a minute, everything else was just noise and unproductive struggle. That doesn't negate the value of the academic/intellectual approach, but we live in a complex reality and find it challenging to balance Being and Thinking. Both are vital. Onward, with calm and courage. 😌🕊❤️
Because of Dr Joe I was able to get off of all psychiatric meds(antidepressants, Xanax, Klonopin) I had been on for the past 30+yrs 2yrs ago and have never felt so good! His books are amazing! Used to think I couldn’t mediate but now I do it every day bc it helps me so much become conscious of the thoughts I have. Has totally slowed down my racing thoughts I used to always have. Now when I meditate I get one thought at a time and can decide if I want to listen to that thought or “skip it” if it’s not a self serving thought. Like he says “just bc you have a thought doesn’t make it true.” Life becomes so beautiful once you realize that you’re the creator of your life and not a “victim” of your life. Also identifying childhood traumas really helped me. It does work. I promise! ❤️
My sister's diagnostic label slapped on her was"refractory depression" the untreatable kind. These labels ,when one has been to so many doctors and tried so many medications has a profound "nocebo" effect and continually reinforces that the person identifying with their "diagnosis" -and they cease seeing themselves or their lives as separate from it.With this work-the kind Joe Dispensa does, gave her her life back. She tapered off very powerful medications she had been on for 25 years(very slowly and carefully under a doctor's supervision over the course of a year).She has been off all meds for 6 years and the so named depression hsa not returned. Do not give your power away. You know yourself better than any doctor-they are not gods.
There's psychological backing to this "nocebo" effect. When you believe you can't do something, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. This is why I do not think some labels are good. Some labels encourage a limiting view for a person's growth.
Mayim, I highly recommend you do Dr Joe's online courses, the intensive and the progressive. They will help you understand this from a scientific point of view. Many scientists are doing this work for a reason. And if you haven't already there's a whole spectrum of possibilities to be found in watching the testimonials. As for Jonathan's breakdown at the end it is spot on, and Mayim's reaction just confirms what Dr Joe talks about. I'd love to see a follow on this interview.
Ok, I just love this episode. Jonathan is such a wise man. When I read Dr Joe's book "Breaking the habit of being yourself" I had sooooo many somatic reactions. I can relate to Mayim's reaction. I started meditating with the only hope to mange my emotions and reactions a bit better, to be able to overcome the sorrow after a miscarriage, but it changed my life. Without expectation many fibroids just disappeared from my uterus. I discovered that I lived with anxiety when it disappeared. Now with the pandemic and general state of the world, I find myself struggling again with anxiety but knowing that I can manage it, that I can rewire my brain and let the magic happen. Loved loved this episode!
Mayim, I love this dialogue! I was the same way when I read Evolve Your Brain in 2008. 14 years later, I’ve healed myself from anxiety, fibroids, migraines, stiff knee from a bad fall, negative self talk, etc. When we own our stories, it’s harder to get past our past selves. I just returned from Dr. Joe’s advanced follow-up in Denver and I can tell you that, as a group, we CAN create an electromagnetic field. I’m still vibrating. Lol Let me know when you decide to attend an event. Feeling is believing 😉Sending you so much love! 💙💙🧘🏾♀️✨
Dr Joe rocks, honey. I AM a student of his work for 3years now. Powerful! Co-host knows what he's talking about as well. Never seen this show til today.💖
Love Dr. JOE! I'm the same, first time here and first time hearing Jonathan. Would like to hear more of his insights. My goal is to experience a workshop with Dr. Joe
Brilliant.!! I am a fan of Dr. Joe and I really heard and understood his narrative on a new level. You may not want to hear it but my first thought is that you are thinking "Who am I without my story?" Your constant discussions about your reactions, diagnoses and struggles, everything is so hard.... reinforces your story and you have built a whole podcast around your disorders/diagnoses. I feel that I heard "If I want to step outside my story, I start with gratitude for things around me or people in my life and move to gratitude for my life and body or relationships etc the way I desire them to be as though they already exist.....same for your health/conditions/neurosis etc. I am saying this to be helpful not to be cruel.. and its very simplistic but don't know how else to say it but it feels like truth
This was a fun episode. I also think this is possibly where Jonathan really had a chance to shine. His analysis after Dr. Joe had left was fascinating; a true tear-down of self.
Mayim, I love you just as you are: diagnoses (which we all have - noted or not), annoyingness (which you are not), and imperfections (which we all have). I'm so glad you started this podcast and it has been my constant companion since its inception. Thank you for making me feel seen and heard and dare I say "normal-ish".
I loved this episode so much. It would be incredible to have a part 2 and go even further with Dr Joe. Jonathan thank you for the way that you shared and explained post interview. It would be incredible if you continued to speak your truth like this. I have been a fan of this podcast since episode 1, it’s my favourite. I was surprised that you brought Dr Joe on as a guest. I love Dr Joe’s work, I was just so surprised as I wasn’t sure Mayim would be ready for it. Mayim, thank you for being open to the discussion. It was enjoyable and educational. More please!
Thank you Mayim, Jonathan & Dr. Dispenza for this:“ Thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body”. Seeming obvious is very, very profound. And links perfectly with the mind-body connection and mutual feedback, both in possitive or negative way. As a cancer survivor myself, I’m sure my cancer cured much better, helping me to confront chemo with a much better attitude, when my mind learned to focus and relax “in the present”, and to project a new non-predictable future anchored in the past, sweeping away anxiety & stress in the process. Books of Dr. Dispenza among others, mindfulness and ioga, helped me a lot then. With blessings from my “Western Medicine” doctors. And today still they do. After cancer was cured. A true lesson of how to live your own life better. 💜🙏🏼

Dr Dispenza is so smart and insightful. The core tenant of his work great. This show again and again proving to be the best out there for mental health, interesting views and seeing other sides of well known people. There is truly nothing else like it, thank God for Mayims empathy and compassion its changing and touching lives out here in the world.
Thank you Mayim for bring this information forth to your online community. As a student of Dr. Joe since 2017 and who has experienced three week long retreats, I can tell you there is nothing that can compare to this in person experience....nothing! The energy and connection with others but especially yourself is indescribable. Life changing in all the forms you wish it to take.
Damn Jonathan... You nailed it. As Will Rogers famously said... "Don't let yesterday take up too much of today." Our diagnosis' can subconsciously define us... as do our memories but they don't need to. Forget about who you think you are or who you think other people see you as. Remember in college the johari's window? We've got multiple perspectives on ourselves and I think throughout time we have driven ourselves a bit nuts with it. Eckhart Tolle's book The power of now is a real eye-opener. By the way, those mosquito bites that can look like you need medical attention... That was me.. before. Not anymore. My body totally changed that for some reason. But the more you define yourself the more your body resists change. I'm rooting for you Mayim ❤️. Feel good first and then raise your vibration to that and let that be your present self then don't go back... go forward. Joe was right you can't think greater than you feel. It's all about how you feel about yourself. The good news is... If you don't feel good about yourself you can change it. You're right it can be very very hard. But remember it can also be very very easy. Depending on how open you are. Just saying.
I just finished the Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself which was amazing! I loved this episode and it’s probably the first podcast that I’ve watched to the credits because I wanted more!! Jonathan did an excellent job of addressing Mayim’s reaction at the end.
Being stuck in the trauma of my past has been the #1 thing that has held me back in life. I made many decisions out of fear. Fear of getting hurt, failure, abandonment, etc. In therapy I’m trying to figure out how that past has impacted me negatively, identify the patterns and make actual changes without dwelling on the past. It is sooooo hard. I am becoming more conscious of how I respond to things and slowly making changes in how I respond. But it is absolutely exhausting. I’d definitely be open to some meditation that would move me forward in this process.
Same. I honestly don't know how to change myself. Past trauma has led to chronic pain which has led to depression and now I am a total introvert and feel so out of control of my life my WHOLE life. Yes, it's time to take control but I don't know how .
@@patriciagallant8133 Trauma informed therapist can really assist, in terms of Dr. Joe's work, baby steps. First step you have to choose you. It's all about loving yourself back into life. Hero's journey. You get to rewrite your story, from victim to victor. Dr. Joe has many easily accessible resources. Lot's of love your way.
Sounds like you are making yourself very aware of how hard it is to make more conscious decisions, yet you've done the hardest part already which is recognising your old thinking patterns, every time you find it hard in the future just remind yourself you've already done the hardest bit and give yourself a pat on the back!
@@patriciagallant8133 I would suggest you to visit Dr.Joe Dispenza? channell in You Tube.Watch the testimonials, the interviews, look for the audiobooks that are avaiable in You Tube. You can start by reding/listening Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself. But I enocurage you to watch the testimonials, Real-life stories speak more than a hube scientific library.
Mayim, you said “maybe god is speaking to us and we don’t know how to listen anymore.” If you think *that’s* possible, then don’t dismiss the quantum either - to those who think the quantum world is just for the “subatomic tiny stuff”, Dr. Joe has often posited that maybe we’re just poor observers. You also said that the more deeply ingrained things are, the harder is it to change your brain - SO TRUE, which is why I think that although you’re bookworm brilliant you have rigid narrow thoughts about what’s possible. I would love to see a part 2 with Dr. Joe so he can take you a little further down the rabbit hole and expand your mind a bit more.
Dr. Joe's work is changing my life. I have only been doing it for 6 months and it has pulled me out of anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. I am so thankful to have stumbled upon his work. I am saving up to attend an advance retreat. I can't wait.
@@Amy123456788 Hi there! I first listened to a video on youtube of one of his lectures. I then bought the progressive and intensive course online and listened to it several times while using one of the meditations on youtube to meditate to. I meditated about 30 mins in the morning before work, I meditated on my lunch break in my car and I would meditate as soon as I got home from work for 1-2 hours. I would do it regardless of how I felt. One thing I had to do was get past my body wanting to get up. It would get agitated sitting there but I refused to allow the sensation of agitation to overtake me. I would concentrate of the feelings in my body while doing the meditations in order to quiet my mind. They key for me was to just meditate a lot everyday. I knew it was for a season in my life and that I wasn't going to meditate hours each day for the rest of my life. I now meditate for about 1 hour a day and try to stay conscious of the feelings in my body and the thoughts in my mind. If I start to ruminate, I will drop down into the feelings and physical sensations of my body (life my feet touching the floor, or my thighs touching the chair) and relax into that feeling, even when I am not actually mediating. It helps stop the monkey brain. Do the work everyday brought me out of depression and anxiety and suicidal ideation completely.
I grew up in a family of origin where protecting parents egos was the priority. This meant that truth came second, and we were required to participate in holding up the facade of parental perfection. Small white lies so they looked good. Unnecessary lies to make things better than they were. No space to acknowledge a fixed or tangible reality. Some years after I left the home of my family of origin, I chose radical honesty. I'm not recommending that for everyone in every situation, but sometimes you have to swing wide or overcorrect. I just made a choice to not protect myself or others from reality or genuine responses, and then I kept making that choice over and over.
🤯🤯🤯 I’ve had to pause this a couple of times just to wrap my head around what I *thought* Dr. Joe was saying. Now I’ve paused again because JONATHAN is blowing my mind with the way he’s contextualizing everything we just heard. The thought of holding a space for a different version of ourselves - such a radical notion, yet at the same time, Yeah, of course, totally makes sense! Thank you Jonathan. You rock. ❤❤ And Mayim, I had all the same questions you just articulated! I mean, are we *allowed* to go off the meds? How would we benchmark progress? How would we know if we’re succeeding or failing? I am pondering all of these questions . . . I think it’s time for a Part 2. What do you say??
Dang, we need a Johnathan feature show, awesome ending! 👏 Mayim is clearly into her ego’s story of “who Mayim is”. It’s a lot to take in and I applaud Jonathan for trying to take her into that realm of possibility. I have read Dr. Joe’s books but couldn’t handle 45mins of meditation.
Start with 5 minutes. (And please stop telling yourself you can't) and it's not necessarily easy..it takes practice. Some days are better than others, just keep on keeping on. After 2.5 years I can meditate for a couple hours and more if I want. I started with 10 minutes. I sometimes still get monkey mind.
Erica I’m a fan of Dr Joe and practice his meditations. I to have a hard time with the longer meditations but when I do them (not that often) it’s amazing!
I was much the same 10 mins at first was all my monkey would let me do But I can do an hour now It isnt easy but that's the beauty, its pushing that limit when ever you're body and mind tells you to get up and go It's funny because often going beyond that stop point is when you fall into the better states I find, and isnt that the idea Go beyond the comfort zone and get out your way See what's beyond the point of wanting to turn back It's like an experiment for me now What lies behind the uncomfortable You often get fascinating answers and inspired moments there Like the reason i started this journey was because of a truely toxic relationship I kept going back to revenge thoughts and blame thoughts Couldn't get beyond it until I decided to see what was the other side of it And bam My realisation the other side That relationship was the impetus to my journey and the reason i am who i am now, a better man with a greater understanding of a lot of things In that instance i was able to forgive, and even appreciate all that that person had inadvertently done for me That's the other side of the uncomfortable for you That's how I got out of my own way Big love 🙏🏼
I think that since the purpose of interviewing a person is to learn more of what they are about and the interviewer should not constantly relate to the audience who and what they are about. We are here because we have an interest to learn more about the guest.
@@darleenmorris2775 Yes, I totally agree, this is going to sound so critical, And, Mayim is so needing to be at center, Sorry, I do find her insecurity annoying.
@@choosetobehappynow1580 Agree!! Mayim is too focused on herself and her huge ego story that she can't hear what Dr. Joe has to say. It's such valuable info, but Mayim doesn't get it or believe it. Too bad!!! I don't think she wants to get healed!!! She'd rather listen to herself talk and talk. Be silent and listen, Mayim!!
Loved 🥰 this one! Thank you for having Dr Joe….and putting yourself in an uncomfortable position 🙏🏾. This is the time of the great awakening and the fact that you can bring this information to mainstream is wonderful.
I never comment on UA-cam, but now I have to! Thank you Mayim, for this amazing interview with dr. Joe! His work is healing me from my anxiety. I've watched every interview out there after "what the bleeb we know". We have to study the ones who already know how to do it dr. Joe points out often. This was the first interview that made it possible to "study" the teacher. Plus your energy made it so fun to be in the moment! Bless you for filling me with gratitude!
I have to make myself do his meditations more often and I have done his long 7 day retreat. I can feel like it’s not worth it or I can’t get it or imagination isn’t happening. I guess that’s the old program talking. The re-wiring takes time and dedication and really wanting it, and like you’re worth doing it for.
@@MS-bs8dd You’re more than worth it just because you’re a human being and it’s a birthright. Allow it and enjoy it. Your soul - the REAL you - knows. Only your identity, ego, personality based on issues not resolved doesn’t think you are enough. The truth is you are and have always been. You’ve just gotta remember that. 😉 ~Narah
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 18- the year you were born M- and told I would eventually be crippled by it. I changed who I was with TM, exercise and diet. Tests a few years later revealed no factor and the doctors dismissed the original diagnosis as in error. Having read and listened to Dr. Joe, l have accepted that when I changed who I was, who I am changed. For you, I wish the buoyancy of the hope that you may go beyond your diagnoses. As Rumi wrote: “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there”.
I have just seen your Video and I am following Dr. Joe for a while now and am still working on grasping his concept and your reaction to him caught my attention. If I understand it right, your body responding so strongly about it, is exactly what Dr. Joe means when he says that when you decide to change, your body will start shooting things at you to keep you from changing and overcoming your old self is the toughest part…and I find it extremely courageous that you are exposing yourself like this. Thank you for being so inspirational for me and for all the work that you do🙏❤️
I'm very much looking forward to attending to Dr. Joe's advanced training this Spring. Brilliant interview all the way around. I hope you continue to follow Dr. Joe's work Mayim ! Thank you all for this episode.
This is the guy. I have long listened to his wisdom. Psychedelic reset gave many a window and door they’d never imagined, once you see it’s hard to unsee.
I really enjoyed this interview. Out of all interviews I’ve seen with Dr Joe, this one by far I felt most connected to cause he opened up about his childhood etc so it gave me a better feel for who he is as a person outside of his profession. 🙏❤️
Wow - you just keep raising the bar for excellence with every podcast! I learn something new every time I listen, & I love the way both Mayim & Jonathan engage with each guest regardless of whether they completely agree with the technique or experience being discussed. I look forward to watching these each week - thank you for sharing your time, knowledge, curiosity & experience with us!
I’ve been practicing dr joes meditation and have seen the positive results. His meditations take you to the place where you’re not thinking of self where your brain gets a break and the picturing of what you do want and being grateful for it then keep from thinking otherwise. Ancient information confirms that as the way to pray with positive results
IN TRUTH: Mayim is beautiful. Her body is perfect. We love her just the way she is. She's not annoying, she's not arrogant. She's this awesome person that everybody wants to talk to.
Mayim seems very attached to the story of herself that she has constructed. Her scepticism to the possibility of what Joe Dispenza is proposing is understandable, but it is her resistance to it that speaks volumes. The physical reaction she experienced at even the suggestion of stepping outside of who she currently identifies as...whoa!
I've read his books and was just looking at a retreat to go to and I'd just forgotten how much sense he makes. I just move on to the next book by another expert. I just continue my meditatio practice without intention. My resistance followed along with Mayim's, but just thinking maybe, just maybe I need to go. Loved Jonathan's insights. Thank you Dr. Joe and to your staff.
Commenting before watching because I KNOW this will be amazing. Absolutely love Dr Joe. His wisdom goes beyond science, and his science goes beyond wisdom.
Thank you so much for having such an intelligent person like Dr Joe Dispenza. Your podcasts Mayim are indeed the most exciting on UA-cam. Keep up the great work!
Omg I love this interview. I appreciate Dr Dispenza’s flow and focus. And his consistency even when He funds himself in environments that are not openly supporting of his amazing work. However, Jonathan’s intervention after the interview, his insight, questioning and observations where so on point. It explains why this duo works so well, it allows either of you to confront, stay curious or present when the other one is experiencing resistance or being triggered. Thank you for inviting us into real discomfort and vulnerability. I only love you and respect you more for it. This whole interview opened up a question for me: am I holding a commitment to my past in ac way to hold on to my “known identity”? Or…am I consistently committing to my desired identity (the version of me who gets to experience ALL the wanted dynamics, experiences, realities)? Before Mayim started scratching her eyes you could almost see the minute when she was pondering the weight, the meaning of simply letting go. Dropping everything and anything in her identity that is cause of pain or suffering. And in a fraction of a second deciding that posibiliy would also take from her most certainties. We are all her.
Jonathan had a really great way of bringing back what Dr Dispenza is talking about. I like that he was more objective and was able to see that maybe Mayim was relating to it all from her personal story, but actually, all we are saying is - stay open and see how you feel. With no labels and no 'what does it mean if this or that'. Respect!
I noticed that Mayim chose the words "a radical rejection of a paradigm," when for me it feels more like a shifting or changing of a paradigm, rather than a rejection. The work is not always easy, and forces you to be introspective in a deep and meaningful way. I have been to one of his events and they are incredible, but they also make you question so many things...who you are as a person, how you think, how you live your life, and the beliefs we hold and build our lives around. It's scary to look at your life and question it all! It's scary to take responsibility for our lives, our thoughts, our feelings. But, it's also empowering and incredible :)
Loved this! As a psychotherapist, I use so many of these principals in my practice to help others "reprogram" their personal understanding of their thoughts and emotions to shift brain functioning from hurt to healing. More of this please!
I love Dr. Joe. I do his meditations and follow what he says and it has catapulted my life on the path I have been dreaming about for ten years in less than a year! I no longer live in the past and have trained my body and brain to live in the future. When I slip and go back to the past, I am conscious of it and change my thought immediately. Very happy I found him on UA-cam!
Jonathan you said it so well. We have to envision ourselves acting in a way we have not in the past. We have to stop assuming that we will always react in the same way to something. We have to see ourselves as we want to be so that we can change our brain.
When you've programmed yourself to be a victom, you'll constantly find excuses as to why you are who you are. But when you see what part you took in becoming who you are and what part you'll take in changing it. Damn, that's so powerful! D. Joes work has changed my life more than any therapy ever could. He is speaking the truth. I've had mind-blowing mystical experiences while meditating. But most of the change has come by constantly attempting to stay present when i go to negative programming. I used to want to tell eveyrone who would listen to me about the work, but I've learned that I've helped those around me more when i changed myself. Be the change ✨️
This episode is absolutely stellar! I want a part two! Also, Mayim, you are just plain awesome! Thank you for being so authentic and honest with us all. If you could see yourself through the lens of your audience, at least in my opinion, you would see what an amazing human you are! Loving this channel! ❤
OMG I absolutely love Dr. Joe!! I have been lucky to have attended a couple of his sessions but would love to actually be a part of his workshops. Thank you Mayim and Jonathan for the content you put into this podcast!!
OMG! Dr. Dispenza in today’s episode! I wish I could somehow share with you, Breakers, a very insightful interview dated in 2018 with Dr. Dispenza in one of the most respected, and probably the main Spain’s newspaper! But YT doesn’t let to post direct links her.. It was when I’ve discovered him. Since then I’ve literally devoured his books both in Spanish and in English. His approach to life has had a great influence in my own one. Said that, bowing here to Jonathan in the last part of this awesome episode!! Bravo, wise man!!!
I really want to take a moment to thank Dr. Joe. I started learning about him in 2014. I was 15. It was after in my country Chile, we where hit with not one but two major earthquakes (8.3, 7.2) in two consecutive days. I guess it was a collective low point but for me it was something i was not expecting at all. Before this i was just an average student who did what he had to do in order to survive the system. Then after learning about Dr. Joe everything started to change, for good and i became very different and started to do much better in my studies and goals. There have been low points, not going to sugar coat it. But my perspective and energy has had a major evolution and i believe more on this work and the impact it has had and can have for so many. Thank you 🙏 Dr Joe
"There are many ways to break down as there are to build up" loved loved this episode. Can we have a special episode where Jonathan is the guest and know more about him? #IHaveACrush. Congrats on this episode, truly.
Absolutely love and follow Doctor Joe. My life has radically changed as a result. Thank you so much for bringing him on your podcast. Your podcast was the first I connected with and became fully engaged with a little over a year ago. Thank you Mayim and Jonathan for bringing such good content.
I'm about half way through. Half of what he's saying sounds great and sensible the other half sounds like what you get told at cults, that everything is your fault, that your thoughts create your reality etc. When it comes to trauma, you can't think your way out of what you have experienced. I also think the language around diagnosis is dangerous. So much stigma and difficulty around getting help is because of people who "don't believe in labels". I once told a woman at a retreat that I didn't feel comfortable being close to one particular person (who did end up being a creep) and she just said "well that's not about him, that's just a reflection of something in yourself that makes you uncomfortable ". The end discussion between the two of you was beautiful.
I have chronic pain and a host of other issues and I slowly began to get better when i asked myself “what if everything I had been told about my conditions was all wrong”..the scientific method is fallible because it is susceptible to human error..and once and error occurs in the chain..it trickles down…but to Mayim’s point..its not a matter of will power..some people just can’t change..it’s not about will power but more about capacity..that’s why 12 step programs for example use a “higher power”….it can be nearly impossible to challenge each thought and not label it good or bad.. I never thought I could recover.. but I am slowly healing my chronic illnesses without medication and I am grateful for grace..
All the episodes have been great. This one connected dots for me. I never realized that some of my allergic reactions might be a reaction to stress. Jonathan was eloquent and thoughtful in his responses.
I can relate to Mayim so much. “The fear that I’m so damaged this couldn’t help.” When I was listening to this I was thinking. This is what I want! I always joke I want a brain transplant. But I want to live with less anxiety and reduce intrusive thoughts. I’m sure most of my issues stem from my mental health. But the challenge is tackling it in a way that helps me feel better overall. This episode really resonated. To quote Donkey, “that’s deep Shrek.”
Mayim, I’m not sure if you’ll read this but it’s my first time watching your podcast and I really enjoyed it! I’m a big follower of Dr Joe and have been doing his work for 2 years. I used to be like you, in the way that I would totally associate myself with my diagnosis (in my case heart failure, Diagnosed when I was 37) Thanks to Dr Joe, I’ve realized that that diagnosis is not me and that I have to dissociate myself from it in order to heal. We are not our diagnosis. His meditations are helping me tremendously. My condition didn’t happen overnight and I have to accept that it’ll take time to heal. Also, try to not over analyze everything, that will block you in your path to feel better. I can see that you are researching a way to feel better. You analyze everything at a very scientific level which is great (Dr Joe does too but he also deeply believes in a higher universal power, he does not associate that power with any religion though, I think it’s because sometimes religion can be too restrictive) but that can be something that’ll block you if you try to explain everything from the place you’re at. Dr Joe’s online classes explain the whole thing at a much deeper level and maybe that’ll help you understand his teachings. I learned new things about him thanks to this interview. So thank you! Your questions were really good! For those who would like to know more about Dr Joe’s work, I encourage you to research him here on UA-cam or to buy his online classes. I am not associated with Dr Joe but that man has literally taught me how to break myself from my old self and start the healing process. I’m not where I’d like to be yet but, now at 45, I’m able to go for walks and that’s a huge improvement! Before I discovered Dr Joe, I was bound to get a heart transplant. I knew there was another way and I kept searching and found him here on YT. I still have some work to do and I do it every day. I know and have no doubt that I will heal! You can’t doubt, that’s a big part of it! You have to feel as if you’re already healed, feel how awesome that would be. That’s where the whole “magic” lies and no, it’s not easy but living with a debilitating disease is not either… and it takes time to get there but with practice, you’ll see the changes happening. I wake up earlier to make sure I start my day with my meditation, every day! You have to make it a priority, like your life depended on it because for some of us, it really does.
I first saw Dr. Joe in What The Bleep. Have been a fan ever since. Mayim, I hear what you said and I understand from the inside. Having said that I refused to allow a Dr. to diagnose me with the illness he believed I had. It turns out after all these years he was wrong. My depression was based on a future truth which occured (who knew? not me) and is now dissipating because the future is changing. Mayim their is hope for your ability to change because I did. And I would never have thought it possible. I am 77 and not on any medication. My eyesight is excellent and my hearing is amazing. I can dance like my ass is on fire. Three years ago I could not.
I’m kinda surprised after all his talk Our host still labeled her reaction to bug bites as who she has been and is . I’ve relished his messages and it becomes more clear each time. He is a gold mine with brilliant gems. It’s a lot to absorb yet it’s the air we breath and the memory of water.
Dr joe and I are the same age, grew up Italian catholic and Had the same doubt about God. How fortunate he had parents that went along for the ride. Mine resisted and I became the problem child. Now at 60, I am comfortable outside the family system but how much easier and quicker my growth would have been with his parents. Love joes work. Been listening to him for at least a decade. As usual love the discussions between mayim and Jonathan
I recently was talking with my therapist about how I have envisioned my life would have been had I not experienced the traumas that I did as a child, and she suggested that I write it down. I’ve never heard of this Doctor before that you had on your show today but I find it very fascinating. I hope that the exercise that I am going to do helps me to create a new reality, because the current one that I keep replaying over and over certainly isn’t working out as well as I would hope. Thank you both for everything that you do to bring awareness to the mental health issues in our society today.
I did his Advance and there is nothing extreme other than a commitment to learn what he's teaching. We have to go past an ongoing and unrewarding process. His teaching of meditation is valuable. Giving up the story is necessary. "Unknown potential" and giving up the "narrative" is right on Jonathan!
I didn't know Joe's background was filled with lots of support for his curious mind. What a blessing that the rest of the world has benefited from so he could explore out of the box ways of thinking & share those findings! The world has benefited greatly!
This interview with Joe was amazing! I've watched many Joe interviews but none where he was asked about his personal early journey. Wonderful, thank you!
WOW... I HAVE A NEW FOUND RESPECT FOR DR. JOE......AND MAYIM....THANK YOU.....I AM SO MUCH LIKE DR. JOE...FROM ARTIST, REJECTION OF ORGANIZED RELIGION, YOGA AT 17, CONSTANT I LEARNING AND SHARING WHAT I LEARN... JUST LISTENED TO DR. JOE'S LECTURE ABOUT HIS "DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL" AND HIS SURVIVAL.....DOING HIS COHERENCE STUDY AS A SUBJECT. I AM IN! DISPENZA DISCIPLE....THANK YOU..... NO BODY...NO THING. NO WHERE. NO TIME.... "MODES IN WHICH WE THINK!"
So I am a person that does a lot of inspirational speaking and I am working on being a Holistic Life Coach. Dr. Joe has been a huge huge part of the transformation of myself, my wife, one of my 3 children, and many of my friends. I have 3 of his 4 books. I can't tell you how many thousands of hours I have spent listening to interviews and I cannot tell you how awesome it was to learn so much more about Dr. Joe's past. Also, the extra scientific information Mayim brought in was awesome. Hopefully Mayim will understand that the very narrative that she is this body with all of these ailments is one of the reasons that she is tormented by her own mind and body. I use Dr. Joe's methods with the diagnostic information from this INCREDIBLE book called "The Encyclopedia of Ailments and Diseases by Jacques Martel. That book goes into the common thought patterns that lead to ailments and diseases. Over 900 of them. And yea... it smacks you in the face with the realizations it makes you have. Like... Lactose issues (Connections with your mother may be strained). Milk reminds you biologically of your mother. Elbow issues is often about a lack of flexibility in life. So much info that makes so much sense. Mayim has to understand that faith isn't based on proof. It's about belief. She has to believe that she has the capacity to heal herself. Because whether she feels that she can or she feels that she can't, she is correct either way. Because she just like all of us ARE the creators of our reality. And Epigentics and Psychoneuroimmunology absolutely prove that our thoughts not only affect our health, it affects how our genes express themselves. And Johnathan understands the multidimensionality that we possess as beings. And that consciousness is NOT isolated in just a material form. We know this because there is an intelligence inside of us that runs all the systems in our bodies and makes chemical compositions to change emotions and does constant biochemistry to maintain our skin. We must trust that intelligence to just EXPECT our heart to keep beating our our next breath to be there. Mayim. Words matter. You know this. And they absolutely have a tremendous affect on our lives and our bodies. Because everything is energy. Words are electrical signals as thoughts, chemical signals with the emotions behind them, and vibrations from your vocal cords. All fundamental aspects of Physics or Quantum Physics. "I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." - Carl Jung
Lactose intolerance probably has more to do with the fact that we are not baby cows, which is who nature intended cows milk to be for. We are the only species that drinks milk past the point of being a baby and it's not even human milk and we have to rape and murder the other species to obtain it. Our bodies recognize the suffering that was caused to bring that milk to us. It probably has more to do with that. But I get what you're saying. I took a screen shot of one your insightful paragraphs. Thank you!
@@Becky-ol4tm The underlying question is if billions of people drink milk why is it only certain ones that have issues? I would imagine that would lead one to look at what is different about the people. Our differences are simply how our genes express themselves and Epigentics proves that is based on how we think, feel, and act. Every cell in our body is designed to be healthy and function properly. We just get in the way. You are totally correct. It is an odd obsession we have with milk but that stems from Nutrition science back in the day being sponsored by the meat and dairy industries. So they told us eat meat to grow strong and that milk does a body good. Both of which since then have been proven incorrect. Red meat is the #1 cause of diabetes. And milk does not build strong bones and most vegetables have more calcium.
Hatts off to Mayim. So intriguing and out of the box questions that are so fresh compared to all other interviews. Having already watched almost all other interviews of Dr Joe and read almost all of his books, what fascinates me is Dr Joe has the same answers. It's because I believe these same answers are the ultimate truth.
I love this interview so much because most interviews for joe just keeps talking and most hosts don’t know how to keep up with him, but I love that you stop him with your own insight, it made for an incredible conversation
Love it! I’ve been visioning in the past several weeks that the breakdown podcast interview Dr. Joe. He got to come back, there’s just a lot that had not been discussed more deeply. But it’s your journey Mayim… and I am just here for the ride. I’m looking forward to you being ready to bring Dr. Joe back again.
Dr. Joe, Greg Braden, breathing, meditating, Walks in nature…. Affirmations…. All these things to helped me in the last three years to get rid of a lifelong depression… Compulsive habits… Anxiety… Anger issues… And through relaxation techniques I am actually working on health and weight loss and let’s not forget very important visiting those multi dimensional parts of ourselves!❤️💫🌹
WOW!!! Thanks Mayim, this was powerful. I can’t wait to watch this again and again -this was a depth charge of information and not a moment was wasted. Well done.
WOW! Mayim manifested DR JOE! He is a treasure and cannot tell you how many males I know who have a huge aversion and distaste for therapy talk anything spiritual or woo woo who after listening to Dr Joe have made huge shifts because of the way the info is delivered. He actually is saving a male friend of mine in the middle of a brutal divorce by listening to him commuting to work lol
Holy crap Jonathan " what if there is a you that you don't know yet because its never existed " I'm actually crying!!! Thank you for this one you two 💗
No cuestion about Dr Joe´s work works. It works and there´s no person in the world so special that is the exception to this. If you do it and you are consistent (that´s the only trick) it would definitely work for anyone. Just doing his "magik breath" , as I call it, for a few minutes every day you will notice a lot of change in your state of being and health and behaviour. Try it and keep doing it, don´t let your mind talk you out of it (is what it does) I hope some day we all know and practice this and learn to heal from the inside out instead of looking for solutions to be given from someone else
I like how you supplement Joe's description of the processes with your perspective. Such as explaining the neuroscience details, Joe does an excellent job, and to hear secondary words and terminology describing the exact same thing helps create a 2nd perspective to catch and colour in the picture more fully. Great interview! Thank you!!
I have to say as a student of dr joe for the past year and someone who’s doing the work and fully in it, not through it yet, this is an incredible episode and interview. Thank you for your honesty it’s perfect.
Dr. Joe is the Goat he has completely changed my life. Thank God Jonathan is a part of this show! Who In their right mind would have anything negative to say about Dr. Joe.
I'm just like Mayim few months ago...seeking for answers, holding on to pain and victim mentality because that's what makes me-- that's my story, and if I let go of that, who am I? I'm excited for her to see the other side. What made me stop from doing what I used to do is when a spiritual friend of mine said "I know it's difficult, and you can stay there (victim mentality) as long as you can, but you have a choice to not stay there." Also what Michael Singer was preaching about, how everything in the world doesn't have anything to do with me..life goes on everywhere, not just my bubble.
Healed myself from PTSD after multiple intense traumatic experiences back to back in a short period - using 60-90 minute meditations, often 2x/day. Not his specifically, but mostly my own self-guided (used to teach and practice meditation and yoga already). Also created an entirely nee life for myself within 8 months while recovering...including a brain injury/concussion. Back at it now with ME/CFS, long covid and endometriosis, plus CPTSD from other past issues, as well as emotional trauma healing again on my own with additional mind-body trainings.
Experience a Dr Joe workshop and there will be no more questions only a deep knowing within and remembrance of your (our) Divinity in every expanding moment🙏🌍💖
I would love for Mayim to go to one of Dr. Joe's events and then do a follow-up podcast.
Brilliant idea
Yes!! Agreed! It’s such an amazing experience!!!
Yes!!! Absolutely 😊
Agree!!!
It would be very cool to see both Jonathan and her going to the retreat and tell us about it afterwards, each one from their own very different perspectives!
Wow, Jonathan's way of communicating what Mayim was expressing was actually super cool. It was so concise and easy to follow. Dr.Joe was also such a great guest: straightforward, active listener, and compassionate at the same time.
Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by an upsetting event happening in their lives that takes them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. Why are so many people across the world suddenly having their appendix removed? The appendix is associated with “being in fear for one’s life”. The HEALING phase is the rupture/inflammation.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
Very insightful. Thanks!
I totally agree! Jonathan's explanation and communication skills are awesome!
I think I know Jonathan from somewhere !
He’s def spot on w all this!!!
Jonathan’s breakdown at the end was so on point. Mayim, goodness girl, you are so stuck in your *paradigm*. At the same time it’s wonderful that you are willing to challenge yourself by talking with someone like Dr Joe. By the way, he doesn’t just “purport” the changes that have happened to people, including people who had been suicidal with deep, deep depression. Just watch the testimonials from these people themselves. They will tell you how much their lives have been changed, and in the end isn’t that all that really matters?
5:08
Thanks for the reply. At that whole beginning section of her talk, and the time stamp you are pointing me to, she is basically paraphrasing his bio. You can see that she’s reading off her tablet and trying to present it in her own words. This doesn’t mean she believes any of it, only presenting what he says about himself. I’m not saying she needs to believe any of it. Everyone is free to believe what they want. However what I previously commented on was her use of the word “purported” in regards to the results of his work. There is nothing “purported” about it. People are seeing real abs actual results.
Typo *and actual results.
I got the sense she is just hyper sensitive to the opinions of the intellectuals who worship science like a religion. These are the people that use science to feel safe instead of feeling a sense of curiosity.
I thought the big warning label at the beginning was extreme but those are the people that usually need to be talked through basic ideas like we all have different life experiences therefore our opinions on things will be varied. That group tends to not appreciate outliers and freethinkers. Ironically corporate funded studies that do the study and report the study and have vested interest of the study make them feel safer.
An open minded scientist or intellectual tends to be punished by their peers all throughout history and especially today with the media fully on their side.
I actually don’t blame her for being super careful around these fear based humans.
Dr Joe makes some good points, to be sure, but just doesn't bridge that gap for me.
As far as I'm concerned, Dr. Joe's best point is in visualizing the goal "as if" it's already true. But I'm not ready to attend his seminar.
My question is whether he is living "as if" he's a good enough teacher to convince the world that they can be healed?
Michael Singer speaks about applying mindfulness or awareness moment by moment in everyday life (not just meditation, but meditation is a great tool) and gives examples and guidance on how that can look, in Living Untethered especially.
I've used Michael's advice and it works for me.
He also says to see yourself as already having achieved the goal, where the goal is overcoming attachment, anger, depression, etc.
That's been really useful for me, and it spoke to me.
In Michael's teaching, he doesn't talk about healing the body per se, but I can see how that's possible.
I've been able to progress with tolerating hardship, pain, attachment, anger using his teachings.
When you see progress in smaller steps, it is motivating and that's what creates belief in greater possibilities for me at least.
I've followed Dr. Joe for years and he's changed my life in so many ways. Mayim, you need to snap out of the "diagnosis" stuff. You are not a diagnosis, but keep thinking that and you will always be. The best thing I ever did was just give up all of the self-obsession.
Well said. Also, not easy to quiet the constantly active mind and just BE. Tolle can be helpful to re-orient from monkey mind to just being (staying present). Once I experienced Being for a minute, everything else was just noise and unproductive struggle. That doesn't negate the value of the academic/intellectual approach, but we live in a complex reality and find it challenging to balance Being and Thinking. Both are vital. Onward, with calm and courage. 😌🕊❤️
Because of Dr Joe I was able to get off of all psychiatric meds(antidepressants, Xanax, Klonopin) I had been on for the past 30+yrs 2yrs ago and have never felt so good! His books are amazing! Used to think I couldn’t mediate but now I do it every day bc it helps me so much become conscious of the thoughts I have. Has totally slowed down my racing thoughts I used to always have. Now when I meditate I get one thought at a time and can decide if I want to listen to that thought or “skip it” if it’s not a self serving thought. Like he says “just bc you have a thought doesn’t make it true.” Life becomes so beautiful once you realize that you’re the creator of your life and not a “victim” of your life. Also identifying childhood traumas really helped me. It does work. I promise! ❤️
I hope a lot of people read your testimonial
People need to realize Western doctors are missing the mark
You healed yourself just by doing meditations from the book? Can u write more please?❤❤ happy for u
My sister's diagnostic label slapped on her was"refractory depression" the untreatable kind. These labels ,when one has been to so many doctors and tried so many medications has a profound "nocebo" effect and continually reinforces that the person identifying with their "diagnosis" -and they cease seeing themselves or their lives as separate from it.With this work-the kind Joe Dispensa does, gave her her life back. She tapered off very powerful medications she had been on for 25 years(very slowly and carefully under a doctor's supervision over the course of a year).She has been off all meds for 6 years and the so named depression hsa not returned. Do not give your power away. You know yourself better than any doctor-they are not gods.
What did she do? Listen to his videos? How did she do that? I would love to be able to do that
@@MARCIA.ZZZZZZ Research raising your vibration on UA-cam.
There's psychological backing to this "nocebo" effect. When you believe you can't do something, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. This is why I do not think some labels are good. Some labels encourage a limiting view for a person's growth.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 his work helped give me mine back as well. So amazing!!!!! Thank you for sharing!! ❤
Start with reading the book “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself. “. He tells you exactly how to do this.
Mayim, I highly recommend you do Dr Joe's online courses, the intensive and the progressive. They will help you understand this from a scientific point of view. Many scientists are doing this work for a reason. And if you haven't already there's a whole spectrum of possibilities to be found in watching the testimonials. As for Jonathan's breakdown at the end it is spot on, and Mayim's reaction just confirms what Dr Joe talks about.
I'd love to see a follow on this interview.
Yes she would love diving into those! Then hopefully a retreat one day soon!
Ok, I just love this episode. Jonathan is such a wise man. When I read Dr Joe's book "Breaking the habit of being yourself" I had sooooo many somatic reactions. I can relate to Mayim's reaction.
I started meditating with the only hope to mange my emotions and reactions a bit better, to be able to overcome the sorrow after a miscarriage, but it changed my life. Without expectation many fibroids just disappeared from my uterus. I discovered that I lived with anxiety when it disappeared. Now with the pandemic and general state of the world, I find myself struggling again with anxiety but knowing that I can manage it, that I can rewire my brain and let the magic happen.
Loved loved this episode!
Wow thank you for sharing! Best to you 💕
Mayim, I love this dialogue! I was the same way when I read Evolve Your Brain in 2008. 14 years later, I’ve healed myself from anxiety, fibroids, migraines, stiff knee from a bad fall, negative self talk, etc. When we own our stories, it’s harder to get past our past selves. I just returned from Dr. Joe’s advanced follow-up in Denver and I can tell you that, as a group, we CAN create an electromagnetic field. I’m still vibrating. Lol Let me know when you decide to attend an event. Feeling is believing 😉Sending you so much love! 💙💙🧘🏾♀️✨
Reading Dr Joe Dispenza's book was really profound for me. I'm so glad to see him being interviewed and accepted beyond the Gaia community!
Dr Joe rocks, honey. I AM a student of his work for 3years now. Powerful! Co-host knows what he's talking about as well. Never seen this show til today.💖
Love Dr. JOE!
I'm the same, first time here and first time hearing Jonathan. Would like to hear more of his insights.
My goal is to experience a workshop with Dr. Joe
Jonathan was so eloquent and spot-on at the end of the video...incredibly thoughtful...conveyed perfectly. Thank you.
Brilliant.!! I am a fan of Dr. Joe and I really heard and understood his narrative on a new level. You may not want to hear it but my first thought is that you are thinking "Who am I without my story?" Your constant discussions about your reactions, diagnoses and struggles, everything is so hard.... reinforces your story and you have built a whole podcast around your disorders/diagnoses. I feel that I heard "If I want to step outside my story, I start with gratitude for things around me or people in my life and move to gratitude for my life and body or relationships etc the way I desire them to be as though they already exist.....same for your health/conditions/neurosis etc. I am saying this to be helpful not to be cruel.. and its very simplistic but don't know how else to say it but it feels like truth
That's how I felt
I believe doctors are ruining so many people's lives with their drugs
This was a fun episode. I also think this is possibly where Jonathan really had a chance to shine. His analysis after Dr. Joe had left was fascinating; a true tear-down of self.
1000% agree
Mayim, I love you just as you are: diagnoses (which we all have - noted or not), annoyingness (which you are not), and imperfections (which we all have). I'm so glad you started this podcast and it has been my constant companion since its inception. Thank you for making me feel seen and heard and dare I say "normal-ish".
I loved this episode so much. It would be incredible to have a part 2 and go even further with Dr Joe. Jonathan thank you for the way that you shared and explained post interview. It would be incredible if you continued to speak your truth like this. I have been a fan of this podcast since episode 1, it’s my favourite. I was surprised that you brought Dr Joe on as a guest. I love Dr Joe’s work, I was just so surprised as I wasn’t sure Mayim would be ready for it. Mayim, thank you for being open to the discussion. It was enjoyable and educational. More please!
I didn't understand why you would feel mayim wasn't ready for this talk, just asking.
Thank you Mayim, Jonathan & Dr. Dispenza for this:“ Thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body”. Seeming obvious is very, very profound. And links perfectly with the mind-body connection and mutual feedback, both in possitive or negative way. As a cancer survivor myself, I’m sure my cancer cured much better, helping me to confront chemo with a much better attitude, when my mind learned to focus and relax “in the present”, and to project a new non-predictable future anchored in the past, sweeping away anxiety & stress in the process. Books of Dr. Dispenza among others, mindfulness and ioga, helped me a lot then. With blessings from my “Western Medicine” doctors. And today still they do. After cancer was cured. A true lesson of how to live your own life better. 💜🙏🏼

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by an upsetting event happening in their lives that takes them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. Why are so many people across the world suddenly having their appendix removed? The appendix is associated with “being in fear for one’s life”. The HEALING phase is the rupture/inflammation.
While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......
Dr Dispenza is so smart and insightful. The core tenant of his work great. This show again and again proving to be the best out there for mental health, interesting views and seeing other sides of well known people. There is truly nothing else like it, thank God for Mayims empathy and compassion its changing and touching lives out here in the world.
Thank you Mayim for bring this information forth to your online community. As a student of Dr. Joe since 2017 and who has experienced three week long retreats, I can tell you there is nothing that can compare to this in person experience....nothing! The energy and connection with others but especially yourself is indescribable. Life changing in all the forms you wish it to take.
Damn Jonathan... You nailed it. As Will Rogers famously said... "Don't let yesterday take up too much of today." Our diagnosis' can subconsciously define us... as do our memories but they don't need to. Forget about who you think you are or who you think other people see you as. Remember in college the johari's window? We've got multiple perspectives on ourselves and I think throughout time we have driven ourselves a bit nuts with it. Eckhart Tolle's book The power of now is a real eye-opener. By the way, those mosquito bites that can look like you need medical attention... That was me.. before. Not anymore. My body totally changed that for some reason. But the more you define yourself the more your body resists change. I'm rooting for you Mayim ❤️. Feel good first and then raise your vibration to that and let that be your present self then don't go back... go forward. Joe was right you can't think greater than you feel. It's all about how you feel about yourself. The good news is... If you don't feel good about yourself you can change it. You're right it can be very very hard. But remember it can also be very very easy. Depending on how open you are. Just saying.
I just finished the Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself which was amazing! I loved this episode and it’s probably the first podcast that I’ve watched to the credits because I wanted more!! Jonathan did an excellent job of addressing Mayim’s reaction at the end.
Being stuck in the trauma of my past has been the #1 thing that has held me back in life. I made many decisions out of fear. Fear of getting hurt, failure, abandonment, etc. In therapy I’m trying to figure out how that past has impacted me negatively, identify the patterns and make actual changes without dwelling on the past. It is sooooo hard. I am becoming more conscious of how I respond to things and slowly making changes in how I respond. But it is absolutely exhausting. I’d definitely be open to some meditation that would move me forward in this process.
Same. I honestly don't know how to change myself. Past trauma has led to chronic pain which has led to depression and now I am a total introvert and feel so out of control of my life my WHOLE life. Yes, it's time to take control but I don't know how .
@@patriciagallant8133 Trauma informed therapist can really assist, in terms of Dr. Joe's work, baby steps. First step you have to choose you. It's all about loving yourself back into life. Hero's journey. You get to rewrite your story, from victim to victor. Dr. Joe has many easily accessible resources. Lot's of love your way.
Sounds like you are making yourself very aware of how hard it is to make more conscious decisions, yet you've done the hardest part already which is recognising your old thinking patterns, every time you find it hard in the future just remind yourself you've already done the hardest bit and give yourself a pat on the back!
@@patriciagallant8133 I would suggest you to visit Dr.Joe Dispenza? channell in You Tube.Watch the testimonials, the interviews, look for the audiobooks that are avaiable in You Tube. You can start by reding/listening Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself. But I enocurage you to watch the testimonials, Real-life stories speak more than a hube scientific library.
It's exactly what you need. It's the next step. It'll make you feel so good that you just want more. Don't quit. Keep seeking.
Mayim, you said “maybe god is speaking to us and we don’t know how to listen anymore.” If you think *that’s* possible, then don’t dismiss the quantum either - to those who think the quantum world is just for the “subatomic tiny stuff”, Dr. Joe has often posited that maybe we’re just poor observers. You also said that the more deeply ingrained things are, the harder is it to change your brain - SO TRUE, which is why I think that although you’re bookworm brilliant you have rigid narrow thoughts about what’s possible. I would love to see a part 2 with Dr. Joe so he can take you a little further down the rabbit hole and expand your mind a bit more.
Dr. Joe's work is changing my life. I have only been doing it for 6 months and it has pulled me out of anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. I am so thankful to have stumbled upon his work. I am saving up to attend an advance retreat. I can't wait.
Woow great can u share what did u do exactly... are u still on meds... how did u taper off if you are not? Please answer!!❤❤❤
@@Amy123456788 Hi there! I first listened to a video on youtube of one of his lectures. I then bought the progressive and intensive course online and listened to it several times while using one of the meditations on youtube to meditate to. I meditated about 30 mins in the morning before work, I meditated on my lunch break in my car and I would meditate as soon as I got home from work for 1-2 hours. I would do it regardless of how I felt. One thing I had to do was get past my body wanting to get up. It would get agitated sitting there but I refused to allow the sensation of agitation to overtake me. I would concentrate of the feelings in my body while doing the meditations in order to quiet my mind. They key for me was to just meditate a lot everyday. I knew it was for a season in my life and that I wasn't going to meditate hours each day for the rest of my life. I now meditate for about 1 hour a day and try to stay conscious of the feelings in my body and the thoughts in my mind. If I start to ruminate, I will drop down into the feelings and physical sensations of my body (life my feet touching the floor, or my thighs touching the chair) and relax into that feeling, even when I am not actually mediating. It helps stop the monkey brain. Do the work everyday brought me out of depression and anxiety and suicidal ideation completely.
I grew up in a family of origin where protecting parents egos was the priority. This meant that truth came second, and we were required to participate in holding up the facade of parental perfection. Small white lies so they looked good. Unnecessary lies to make things better than they were. No space to acknowledge a fixed or tangible reality. Some years after I left the home of my family of origin, I chose radical honesty. I'm not recommending that for everyone in every situation, but sometimes you have to swing wide or overcorrect. I just made a choice to not protect myself or others from reality or genuine responses, and then I kept making that choice over and over.
🙌 you’re not alone on that journey. Well said!
I love Joe Dispenza. About 4 years ago, he helped me a lot.
I think the thing that effects people the most is not being able to separate their personality from their trauma.
Very good point
Bingo...Ego...
🤯🤯🤯 I’ve had to pause this a couple of times just to wrap my head around what I *thought* Dr. Joe was saying. Now I’ve paused again because JONATHAN is blowing my mind with the way he’s contextualizing everything we just heard. The thought of holding a space for a different version of ourselves - such a radical notion, yet at the same time, Yeah, of course, totally makes sense! Thank you Jonathan. You rock. ❤❤
And Mayim, I had all the same questions you just articulated! I mean, are we *allowed* to go off the meds? How would we benchmark progress? How would we know if we’re succeeding or failing? I am pondering all of these questions . . .
I think it’s time for a Part 2. What do you say??
Dang, we need a Johnathan feature show, awesome ending! 👏 Mayim is clearly into her ego’s story of “who Mayim is”. It’s a lot to take in and I applaud Jonathan for trying to take her into that realm of possibility. I have read Dr. Joe’s books but couldn’t handle 45mins of meditation.
that realm of possibility and responsibility for one's self
Start with 5 minutes. (And please stop telling yourself you can't) and it's not necessarily easy..it takes practice. Some days are better than others, just keep on keeping on. After 2.5 years I can meditate for a couple hours and more if I want. I started with 10 minutes. I sometimes still get monkey mind.
Erica I’m a fan of Dr Joe and practice his meditations. I to have a hard time with the longer meditations but when I do them (not that often) it’s amazing!
I was much the same
10 mins at first was all my monkey would let me do
But I can do an hour now
It isnt easy but that's the beauty, its pushing that limit when ever you're body and mind tells you to get up and go
It's funny because often going beyond that stop point is when you fall into the better states I find,
and isnt that the idea
Go beyond the comfort zone and get out your way
See what's beyond the point of wanting to turn back
It's like an experiment for me now
What lies behind the uncomfortable
You often get fascinating answers and inspired moments there
Like the reason i started this journey was because of a truely toxic relationship
I kept going back to revenge thoughts and blame thoughts
Couldn't get beyond it until I decided to see what was the other side of it
And bam
My realisation the other side
That relationship was the impetus to my journey and the reason i am who i am now, a better man with a greater understanding of a lot of things
In that instance i was able to forgive, and even appreciate all that that person had inadvertently done for me
That's the other side of the uncomfortable for you
That's how I got out of my own way
Big love 🙏🏼
well said!
At the end I heard Mayim say "yes-BUT" a lot. My loving wish for her is to be open to thinking and living more in the "yes -AND" !!
I think that since the purpose of interviewing a person is to learn more of what they are about and the interviewer should not constantly relate to the audience who and what they are about. We are here because we have an interest to learn more about the guest.
@@darleenmorris2775 Yes, I totally agree, this is going to sound so critical, And, Mayim is so needing to be at center, Sorry, I do find her insecurity annoying.
@@choosetobehappynow1580 Agree!! Mayim is too focused on herself and her huge ego story that she can't hear what Dr. Joe has to say. It's such valuable info, but Mayim doesn't get it or believe it. Too bad!!! I don't think she wants to get healed!!! She'd rather listen to herself talk and talk. Be silent and listen, Mayim!!
Love it!
@@choosetobehappynow1580 A truly knowledgeable person like she wants to be would listen and have inquiring questions to understand.
Ok I’ve watched DOZENS of interviews with Dr Joe, but this is hands down the most refreshing one. Good job!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Same... I was surprised how much new information just on his past I learned.
Yes I am sending this to my friends who are Joe followers. 👍👍👍
I need more of this. Please have Dr. Dispenza again! So fascinating💕
Loved 🥰 this one! Thank you for having Dr Joe….and putting yourself in an uncomfortable position 🙏🏾. This is the time of the great awakening and the fact that you can bring this information to mainstream is wonderful.
I never comment on UA-cam, but now I have to! Thank you Mayim, for this amazing interview with dr. Joe!
His work is healing me from my anxiety. I've watched every interview out there after "what the bleeb we know". We have to study the ones who already know how to do it dr. Joe points out often. This was the first interview that made it possible to "study" the teacher. Plus your energy made it so fun to be in the moment! Bless you for filling me with gratitude!
OMG Dr Joe Dispenza!!! His meditations have changed me and my life so much to the better! I'm so happy to see Mayim talking to him! ☺
Came out from the depths of darkness and disconnection bc his work. And thanks to my friend who showed me this gem
yes me too!!!!
I have to make myself do his meditations more often and I have done his long 7 day retreat. I can feel like it’s not worth it or I can’t get it or imagination isn’t happening. I guess that’s the old program talking. The re-wiring takes time and dedication and really wanting it, and like you’re worth doing it for.
@@MS-bs8dd You’re more than worth it just because you’re a human being and it’s a birthright. Allow it and enjoy it. Your soul - the REAL you - knows. Only your identity, ego, personality based on issues not resolved doesn’t think you are enough. The truth is you are and have always been. You’ve just gotta remember that. 😉 ~Narah
@@scottnarahsmith true.. Your comment means a lot. Damn, that ego part has occupied my psyche long enough! Practice, practice.
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 18- the year you were born M- and told I would eventually be crippled by it. I changed who I was with TM, exercise and diet. Tests a few years later revealed no factor and the doctors dismissed the original diagnosis as in error. Having read and listened to Dr. Joe, l have accepted that when I changed who I was, who I am changed. For you, I wish the buoyancy of the hope that you may go beyond your diagnoses. As Rumi wrote: “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I’ll meet you there”.
I have just seen your Video and I am following Dr. Joe for a while now and am still working on grasping his concept and your reaction to him caught my attention. If I understand it right, your body responding so strongly about it, is exactly what Dr. Joe means when he says that when you decide to change, your body will start shooting things at you to keep you from changing and overcoming your old self is the toughest part…and I find it extremely courageous that you are exposing yourself like this. Thank you for being so inspirational for me and for all the work that you do🙏❤️
Dr Joe’s work is changing my life. I started his meditations four months ago and my mindset is changing, making different choices for myself.
I'm very much looking forward to attending to Dr. Joe's advanced training this Spring. Brilliant interview all the way around. I hope you continue to follow Dr. Joe's work Mayim ! Thank you all for this episode.
This is the guy. I have long listened to his wisdom. Psychedelic reset gave many a window and door they’d never imagined, once you see it’s hard to unsee.
I really enjoyed this interview. Out of all interviews I’ve seen with Dr Joe, this one by far I felt most connected to cause he opened up about his childhood etc so it gave me a better feel for who he is as a person outside of his profession. 🙏❤️
I agree. Mayim asked wonderful questions that I haven’t heard Dr Joe answer before. And I truly appreciate Mayim’s vulnerability.
Wow - you just keep raising the bar for excellence with every podcast! I learn something new every time I listen, & I love the way both Mayim & Jonathan engage with each guest regardless of whether they completely agree with the technique or experience being discussed. I look forward to watching these each week - thank you for sharing your time, knowledge, curiosity & experience with us!
I’ve been practicing dr joes meditation and have seen the positive results. His meditations take you to the place where you’re not thinking of self where your brain gets a break and the picturing of what you do want and being grateful for it then keep from thinking otherwise. Ancient information confirms that as the way to pray with positive results
IN TRUTH: Mayim is beautiful. Her body is perfect. We love her just the way she is. She's not annoying, she's not arrogant. She's this awesome person that everybody wants to talk to.
Reminds me of the famous quote: "If you say you can, youcan--if you say you can't,you can't." Or:"Argue for your limitations--and they're yours."
Mayim seems very attached to the story of herself that she has constructed. Her scepticism to the possibility of what Joe Dispenza is proposing is understandable, but it is her resistance to it that speaks volumes. The physical reaction she experienced at even the suggestion of stepping outside of who she currently identifies as...whoa!
I've read his books and was just looking at a retreat to go to and I'd just forgotten how much sense he makes. I just move on to the next book by another expert. I just continue my meditatio practice without intention. My resistance followed along with Mayim's, but just thinking maybe, just maybe I need to go. Loved Jonathan's insights. Thank you Dr. Joe and to your staff.
Dr Joe is the best there is.♥️
Commenting before watching because I KNOW this will be amazing. Absolutely love Dr Joe. His wisdom goes beyond science, and his science goes beyond wisdom.
Thank you so much for having such an intelligent person like Dr Joe Dispenza. Your podcasts Mayim are indeed the most exciting on UA-cam. Keep up the great work!
Omg I love this interview. I appreciate Dr Dispenza’s flow and focus. And his consistency even when He funds himself in environments that are not openly supporting of his amazing work. However, Jonathan’s intervention after the interview, his insight, questioning and observations where so on point. It explains why this duo works so well, it allows either of you to confront, stay curious or present when the other one is experiencing resistance or being triggered. Thank you for inviting us into real discomfort and vulnerability. I only love you and respect you more for it.
This whole interview opened up a question for me: am I holding a commitment to my past in ac way to hold on to my “known identity”? Or…am I consistently committing to my desired identity (the version of me who gets to experience ALL the wanted dynamics, experiences, realities)? Before Mayim started scratching her eyes you could almost see the minute when she was pondering the weight, the meaning of simply letting go. Dropping everything and anything in her identity that is cause of pain or suffering. And in a fraction of a second deciding that posibiliy would also take from her most certainties. We are all her.
Jonathan had a really great way of bringing back what Dr Dispenza is talking about. I like that he was more objective and was able to see that maybe Mayim was relating to it all from her personal story, but actually, all we are saying is - stay open and see how you feel. With no labels and no 'what does it mean if this or that'. Respect!
I noticed that Mayim chose the words "a radical rejection of a paradigm," when for me it feels more like a shifting or changing of a paradigm, rather than a rejection. The work is not always easy, and forces you to be introspective in a deep and meaningful way. I have been to one of his events and they are incredible, but they also make you question so many things...who you are as a person, how you think, how you live your life, and the beliefs we hold and build our lives around. It's scary to look at your life and question it all! It's scary to take responsibility for our lives, our thoughts, our feelings. But, it's also empowering and incredible :)
Loved this! As a psychotherapist, I use so many of these principals in my practice to help others "reprogram" their personal understanding of their thoughts and emotions to shift brain functioning from hurt to healing. More of this please!
I love Dr. Joe. I do his meditations and follow what he says and it has catapulted my life on the path I have been dreaming about for ten years in less than a year! I no longer live in the past and have trained my body and brain to live in the future. When I slip and go back to the past, I am conscious of it and change my thought immediately. Very happy I found him on UA-cam!
Jonathan you said it so well. We have to envision ourselves acting in a way we have not in the past. We have to stop assuming that we will always react in the same way to something. We have to see ourselves as we want to be so that we can change our brain.
When you've programmed yourself to be a victom, you'll constantly find excuses as to why you are who you are. But when you see what part you took in becoming who you are and what part you'll take in changing it. Damn, that's so powerful! D. Joes work has changed my life more than any therapy ever could. He is speaking the truth. I've had mind-blowing mystical experiences while meditating. But most of the change has come by constantly attempting to stay present when i go to negative programming.
I used to want to tell eveyrone who would listen to me about the work, but I've learned that I've helped those around me more when i changed myself. Be the change ✨️
This episode is absolutely stellar! I want a part two! Also, Mayim, you are just plain awesome! Thank you for being so authentic and honest with us all. If you could see yourself through the lens of your audience, at least in my opinion, you would see what an amazing human you are! Loving this channel! ❤
OMG I absolutely love Dr. Joe!! I have been lucky to have attended a couple of his sessions but would love to actually be a part of his workshops. Thank you Mayim and Jonathan for the content you put into this podcast!!
So glad you had Dr Joe on your podcast!
You're helping a lot of people with this knowledge 🙏🏽 This should have more views!
OMG! Dr. Dispenza in today’s episode! I wish I could somehow share with you, Breakers, a very insightful interview dated in 2018 with Dr. Dispenza in one of the most respected, and probably the main Spain’s newspaper! But YT doesn’t let to post direct links her..
It was when I’ve discovered him. Since then I’ve literally devoured his books both in Spanish and in English. His approach to life has had a great influence in my own one. Said that, bowing here to Jonathan in the last part of this awesome episode!! Bravo, wise man!!!
I really want to take a moment to thank Dr. Joe. I started learning about him in 2014. I was 15. It was after in my country Chile, we where hit with not one but two major earthquakes (8.3, 7.2) in two consecutive days. I guess it was a collective low point but for me it was something i was not expecting at all. Before this i was just an average student who did what he had to do in order to survive the system. Then after learning about Dr. Joe everything started to change, for good and i became very different and started to do much better in my studies and goals. There have been low points, not going to sugar coat it. But my perspective and energy has had a major evolution and i believe more on this work and the impact it has had and can have for so many. Thank you 🙏 Dr Joe
"There are many ways to break down as there are to build up" loved loved this episode. Can we have a special episode where Jonathan is the guest and know more about him? #IHaveACrush. Congrats on this episode, truly.
Yes, please. I too have a crush 👀
Absolutely love and follow Doctor Joe. My life has radically changed as a result. Thank you so much for bringing him on your podcast. Your podcast was the first I connected with and became fully engaged with a little over a year ago. Thank you Mayim and Jonathan for bringing such good content.
I'm about half way through. Half of what he's saying sounds great and sensible the other half sounds like what you get told at cults, that everything is your fault, that your thoughts create your reality etc. When it comes to trauma, you can't think your way out of what you have experienced. I also think the language around diagnosis is dangerous. So much stigma and difficulty around getting help is because of people who "don't believe in labels". I once told a woman at a retreat that I didn't feel comfortable being close to one particular person (who did end up being a creep) and she just said "well that's not about him, that's just a reflection of something in yourself that makes you uncomfortable ". The end discussion between the two of you was beautiful.
I have chronic pain and a host of other issues and I slowly began to get better when i asked myself “what if everything I had been told about my conditions was all wrong”..the scientific method is fallible because it is susceptible to human error..and once and error occurs in the chain..it trickles down…but to Mayim’s point..its not a matter of will power..some people just can’t change..it’s not about will power but more about capacity..that’s why 12 step programs for example use a “higher power”….it can be nearly impossible to challenge each thought and not label it good or bad.. I never thought I could recover.. but I am slowly healing my chronic illnesses without medication and I am grateful for grace..
All the episodes have been great. This one connected dots for me. I never realized that some of my allergic reactions might be a reaction to stress. Jonathan was eloquent and thoughtful in his responses.
Wow, tears when Jonathan broke it down for Mayam. I love Joe D. And have watched so much of his programs but I could listen to Jonathan all day!
I can relate to Mayim so much. “The fear that I’m so damaged this couldn’t help.” When I was listening to this I was thinking. This is what I want! I always joke I want a brain transplant. But I want to live with less anxiety and reduce intrusive thoughts. I’m sure most of my issues stem from my mental health. But the challenge is tackling it in a way that helps me feel better overall. This episode really resonated. To quote Donkey, “that’s deep Shrek.”
Mayim, I’m not sure if you’ll read this but it’s my first time watching your podcast and I really enjoyed it! I’m a big follower of Dr Joe and have been doing his work for 2 years. I used to be like you, in the way that I would totally associate myself with my diagnosis (in my case heart failure, Diagnosed when I was 37) Thanks to Dr Joe, I’ve realized that that diagnosis is not me and that I have to dissociate myself from it in order to heal.
We are not our diagnosis.
His meditations are helping me tremendously.
My condition didn’t happen overnight and I have to accept that it’ll take time to heal.
Also, try to not over analyze everything, that will block you in your path to feel better. I can see that you are researching a way to feel better. You analyze everything at a very scientific level which is great (Dr Joe does too but he also deeply believes in a higher universal power, he does not associate that power with any religion though, I think it’s because sometimes religion can be too restrictive) but that can be something that’ll block you if you try to explain everything from the place you’re at.
Dr Joe’s online classes explain the whole thing at a much deeper level and maybe that’ll help you understand his teachings.
I learned new things about him thanks to this interview. So thank you! Your questions were really good!
For those who would like to know more about Dr Joe’s work, I encourage you to research him here on UA-cam or to buy his online classes. I am not associated with Dr Joe but that man has literally taught me how to break myself from my old self and start the healing process. I’m not where I’d like to be yet but, now at 45, I’m able to go for walks and that’s a huge improvement! Before I discovered Dr Joe, I was bound to get a heart transplant. I knew there was another way and I kept searching and found him here on YT. I still have some work to do and I do it every day. I know and have no doubt that I will heal! You can’t doubt, that’s a big part of it! You have to feel as if you’re already healed, feel how awesome that would be. That’s where the whole “magic” lies and no, it’s not easy but living with a debilitating disease is not either… and it takes time to get there but with practice, you’ll see the changes happening. I wake up earlier to make sure I start my day with my meditation, every day! You have to make it a priority, like your life depended on it because for some of us, it really does.
Do a part 2 episode with Dr Joe to ask more questions!
I first saw Dr. Joe in What The Bleep. Have been a fan ever since. Mayim, I hear what you said and I understand from the inside. Having said that I refused to allow a Dr. to diagnose me with the illness he believed I had. It turns out after all these years he was wrong. My depression was based on a future truth which occured (who knew? not me) and is now dissipating because the future is changing. Mayim their is hope for your ability to change because I did. And I would never have thought it possible. I am 77 and not on any medication. My eyesight is excellent and my hearing is amazing. I can dance like my ass is on fire. Three years ago I could not.
I’m kinda surprised after all his talk Our host still labeled her reaction to bug bites as who she has been and is . I’ve relished his messages and it becomes more clear each time. He is a gold mine with brilliant gems. It’s a lot to absorb yet it’s the air we breath and the memory of water.
Dr joe and I are the same age, grew up Italian catholic and Had the same doubt about God. How fortunate he had parents that went along for the ride. Mine resisted and I became the problem child. Now at 60, I am comfortable outside the family system but how much easier and quicker my growth would have been with his parents. Love joes work. Been listening to him for at least a decade. As usual love the discussions between mayim and Jonathan
I recently was talking with my therapist about how I have envisioned my life would have been had I not experienced the traumas that I did as a child, and she suggested that I write it down. I’ve never heard of this Doctor before that you had on your show today but I find it very fascinating. I hope that the exercise that I am going to do helps me to create a new reality, because the current one that I keep replaying over and over certainly isn’t working out as well as I would hope.
Thank you both for everything that you do to bring awareness to the mental health issues in our society today.
As simple as it's going to sound - Jonathan is AWESOME!!
I did his Advance and there is nothing extreme other than a commitment to learn what he's teaching.
We have to go past an ongoing and unrewarding process. His teaching of meditation is valuable. Giving up the story is necessary. "Unknown potential" and giving up the "narrative" is right on Jonathan!
I didn't know Joe's background was filled with lots of support for his curious mind. What a blessing that the rest of the world has benefited from so he could explore out of the box ways of thinking & share those findings! The world has benefited greatly!
I've followed Dr. Joe for years and did the work, and my life has never been the same.
This interview with Joe was amazing! I've watched many Joe interviews but none where he was asked about his personal early journey. Wonderful, thank you!
Hands down my favorite interview I have seen with him and I have watched so many. This is straight 🔥. Thank you so much for having him on! 🙏🙏🙏
WOW... I HAVE A NEW FOUND RESPECT FOR DR. JOE......AND MAYIM....THANK YOU.....I AM SO MUCH LIKE DR. JOE...FROM ARTIST, REJECTION OF ORGANIZED RELIGION, YOGA AT 17, CONSTANT I LEARNING AND SHARING WHAT I LEARN... JUST LISTENED TO DR. JOE'S LECTURE ABOUT HIS "DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL" AND HIS SURVIVAL.....DOING HIS COHERENCE STUDY AS A SUBJECT. I AM IN! DISPENZA DISCIPLE....THANK YOU..... NO BODY...NO THING. NO WHERE. NO TIME.... "MODES IN WHICH WE THINK!"
So I am a person that does a lot of inspirational speaking and I am working on being a Holistic Life Coach. Dr. Joe has been a huge huge part of the transformation of myself, my wife, one of my 3 children, and many of my friends.
I have 3 of his 4 books. I can't tell you how many thousands of hours I have spent listening to interviews and I cannot tell you how awesome it was to learn so much more about Dr. Joe's past. Also, the extra scientific information Mayim brought in was awesome. Hopefully Mayim will understand that the very narrative that she is this body with all of these ailments is one of the reasons that she is tormented by her own mind and body. I use Dr. Joe's methods with the diagnostic information from this INCREDIBLE book called "The Encyclopedia of Ailments and Diseases by Jacques Martel. That book goes into the common thought patterns that lead to ailments and diseases. Over 900 of them. And yea... it smacks you in the face with the realizations it makes you have. Like... Lactose issues (Connections with your mother may be strained). Milk reminds you biologically of your mother. Elbow issues is often about a lack of flexibility in life. So much info that makes so much sense.
Mayim has to understand that faith isn't based on proof. It's about belief. She has to believe that she has the capacity to heal herself. Because whether she feels that she can or she feels that she can't, she is correct either way. Because she just like all of us ARE the creators of our reality. And Epigentics and Psychoneuroimmunology absolutely prove that our thoughts not only affect our health, it affects how our genes express themselves.
And Johnathan understands the multidimensionality that we possess as beings. And that consciousness is NOT isolated in just a material form. We know this because there is an intelligence inside of us that runs all the systems in our bodies and makes chemical compositions to change emotions and does constant biochemistry to maintain our skin. We must trust that intelligence to just EXPECT our heart to keep beating our our next breath to be there.
Mayim. Words matter. You know this. And they absolutely have a tremendous affect on our lives and our bodies. Because everything is energy. Words are electrical signals as thoughts, chemical signals with the emotions behind them, and vibrations from your vocal cords. All fundamental aspects of Physics or Quantum Physics.

Beautiful post!! Insightful, thank you

Lactose intolerance probably has more to do with the fact that we are not baby cows, which is who nature intended cows milk to be for. We are the only species that drinks milk past the point of being a baby and it's not even human milk and we have to rape and murder the other species to obtain it. Our bodies recognize the suffering that was caused to bring that milk to us. It probably has more to do with that. But I get what you're saying.
I took a screen shot of one your insightful paragraphs. Thank you!
@@Becky-ol4tm The underlying question is if billions of people drink milk why is it only certain ones that have issues? I would imagine that would lead one to look at what is different about the people. Our differences are simply how our genes express themselves and Epigentics proves that is based on how we think, feel, and act.
Every cell in our body is designed to be healthy and function properly. We just get in the way.
You are totally correct. It is an odd obsession we have with milk but that stems from Nutrition science back in the day being sponsored by the meat and dairy industries. So they told us eat meat to grow strong and that milk does a body good.
Both of which since then have been proven incorrect. Red meat is the #1 cause of diabetes. And milk does not build strong bones and most vegetables have more calcium.
I'm so grateful for having Dr Dispenza in this world. He is the ligth that we need on this world to health
Amen to that.
He is truly a visionary, and like you I'd love to see studies based on his work, results do speak for themselves.
Hatts off to Mayim. So intriguing and out of the box questions that are so fresh compared to all other interviews.
Having already watched almost all other interviews of Dr Joe and read almost all of his books, what fascinates me is Dr Joe has the same answers. It's because I believe these same answers are the ultimate truth.
I love this interview so much because most interviews for joe just keeps talking and most hosts don’t know how to keep up with him, but I love that you stop him with your own insight, it made for an incredible conversation
Love it! I’ve been visioning in the past several weeks that the breakdown podcast interview Dr. Joe.
He got to come back, there’s just a lot that had not been discussed more deeply. But it’s your journey Mayim… and I am just here for the ride.
I’m looking forward to you being ready to bring Dr. Joe back again.
Dr. Joe, Greg Braden, breathing, meditating, Walks in nature…. Affirmations…. All these things to helped me in the last three years to get rid of a lifelong depression… Compulsive habits… Anxiety… Anger issues… And through relaxation techniques I am actually working on health and weight loss and let’s not forget very important visiting those multi dimensional parts of ourselves!❤️💫🌹
WOW!!! Thanks Mayim, this was powerful. I can’t wait to watch this again and again -this was a depth charge of information and not a moment was wasted. Well done.
WOW! Mayim manifested DR JOE! He is a treasure and cannot tell you how many males I know who have a huge aversion and distaste for therapy talk anything spiritual or woo woo who after listening to Dr Joe have made huge shifts because of the way the info is delivered. He actually is saving a male friend of mine in the middle of a brutal divorce by listening to him commuting to work lol
Holy crap Jonathan " what if there is a you that you don't know yet because its never existed " I'm actually crying!!! Thank you for this one you two 💗
No cuestion about Dr Joe´s work works. It works and there´s no person in the world so special that is the exception to this. If you do it and you are consistent (that´s the only trick) it would definitely work for anyone. Just doing his "magik breath" , as I call it, for a few minutes every day you will notice a lot of change in your state of being and health and behaviour. Try it and keep doing it, don´t let your mind talk you out of it (is what it does) I hope some day we all know and practice this and learn to heal from the inside out instead of looking for solutions to be given from someone else
I like how you supplement Joe's description of the processes with your perspective. Such as explaining the neuroscience details, Joe does an excellent job, and to hear secondary words and terminology describing the exact same thing helps create a 2nd perspective to catch and colour in the picture more fully. Great interview! Thank you!!
I have to say as a student of dr joe for the past year and someone who’s doing the work and fully in it, not through it yet, this is an incredible episode and interview. Thank you for your honesty it’s perfect.
Dr. Joe is the Goat he has completely changed my life.
Thank God Jonathan is a part of this show!
Who In their right mind would have anything negative to say about Dr. Joe.
I'm just like Mayim few months ago...seeking for answers, holding on to pain and victim mentality because that's what makes me-- that's my story, and if I let go of that, who am I? I'm excited for her to see the other side. What made me stop from doing what I used to do is when a spiritual friend of mine said "I know it's difficult, and you can stay there (victim mentality) as long as you can, but you have a choice to not stay there." Also what Michael Singer was preaching about, how everything in the world doesn't have anything to do with me..life goes on everywhere, not just my bubble.
Healed myself from PTSD after multiple intense traumatic experiences back to back in a short period - using 60-90 minute meditations, often 2x/day. Not his specifically, but mostly my own self-guided (used to teach and practice meditation and yoga already). Also created an entirely nee life for myself within 8 months while recovering...including a brain injury/concussion. Back at it now with ME/CFS, long covid and endometriosis, plus CPTSD from other past issues, as well as emotional trauma healing again on my own with additional mind-body trainings.
How? Tips on how to do it?
Best Podcast out there!!! the only one, where I listen to EVERY episode. thank you for this! ☺️
Experience a Dr Joe workshop and there will be no more questions only a deep knowing within and remembrance of your (our) Divinity in every expanding moment🙏🌍💖
