You Are the Placebo

by Joe Dispenza, Dr.

  And if you . . . as the quantum observer . . . find your mind returning to the known . . . to the familiar . . . to people . . . to things . . . or places in your known familiar reality . . . to your body . . . to your identity, to your emotions . . . to time . . . to the past . . . or the predictable future . . . simply become aware that you are observing the known . . . and surrender your consciousness back into the void of possibilities . . . and become no one . . . no body . . . no thing . . . no where . . . in no time. . . . Unfold into the immaterial realm of quantum potentials. . . . The more you become awareness in possibility . . . the more you create possibility and opportunity in your life. . . . Stay present. . . .

  [Allow anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes here for you to linger, depending on how long you have to meditate.]

  Now . . . what was that first belief . . . or perception . . . that you wanted to change about yourself and your life?

  Do you want to continue to believe and perceive in this way?

  If not . . . I want you to make a decision . . . with such firm intention . . . that the amplitude of that decision . . . carries a level of energy that’s greater than the hardwired programs in your brain . . . and the emotional addictions in your body . . . and allow your body to respond to a new mind. . . .

  And allow the choice to become an experience that you’ll never forget . . . and let the experience . . . produce an emotion with such energy . . . that it rewrites the programs . . . and changes your biology. . . . Come out of your resting state and change your energy . . . so that your biology is altered by your own energy. . . .

  Now it’s time to surrender the past back into possibility . . . and allow the infinite field of possibilities to resolve it in a way that’s right for you. . . .Give it up.

  Now . . . what do you want to believe and perceive about yourself and your life . . . and how would that feel?

  Come on . . . it’s time to move into a new state of being . . . and allow your body to respond to a new mind . . . change your energy by combining a clear intention with an elevated emotion so that matter is lifted to a new mind. . . .

  And let the choice . . . carry an amplitude of energy . . . that’s greater than any experience of the past . . . and let your body be altered by your consciousness, by your own energy . . . and shift into a new state of being . . . and make this moment define you . . . and let this intentional thought become such a powerful internal experience . . . that it carries an elevated emotional energy, which becomes a memory that you never forget. . . . replacing the past memory with a new memory in your brain and body. . . . Come on! Become empowered. . . . Be inspired. . . . Make the choice a decision that you’ll never fail to remember. . . .

  Now . . . give your body a taste of the future by showing it how it will feel to believe this way . . . and let your body respond to a new mind. . . .

  And how would you live from this state of being? . . . What choices will you make? . . . How will you behave? . . . What experiences are in your future? . . . How will you live? . . . How would it feel? . . . How will you love? . . . And allow infinite waves of possibility to collapse into an experience in your life. . . .

  And can you teach your body emotionally what it is to be in this new future? . . . Come on . . . open your heart . . . and believe in possibility. . . . Be lifted . . . fall in love with the moment . . . and experience that future now. . . .

  And now, surrender your creation to a greater mind . . . for what you think and experience in this realm of possibility . . . if it is truly felt . . . it will manifest in some future time . . . from waves of possibilities to particles in reality . . . from the immaterial to the material . . . from thought to energy into matter. . . .

  Now . . . surrender your new belief into a field of consciousness that already knows how to organize the outcome in a way that’s perfect for you . . . planting a seed in possibility. . . .

  Now . . . what was that second belief or perception that you wanted to change about yourself and your life? . . . And does it serve you to continue believing and perceiving . . . in this way?

  If not, it’s time to make a decision with such firm intention . . . that the amplitude of that decision . . . carries a level of energy that causes your body to respond to a new mind . . . and that the choice that you make is final . . . and that your decision becomes an experience that you never forget. . . . Come out of your familiar resting state and change your energy so that matter is lifted to a new mind. . . . Go on! Become empowered. . . . Be moved by your own energy. . . .

  And let the energy of the choice . . . rewrite the subconscious programs neurologically in your brain . . . and emotionally and genetically in your body . . . and make the choice to be greater than the past . . . and let your biology be changed by your energy. . . . Be inspired. . . .

  And now . . . surrender that belief to a greater intelligence . . . simply let go . . . and give it up . . . to the field of possibilities . . . returning it back to energy. . . .

  Now . . . what do you want to believe and perceive about yourself and your life? . . . And how would that feel?

  Come on, move into a new state of being . . . and allow your body to be lifted to a new mind . . . and let the energy of this choice . . . rewrite the circuits in your brain . . . and the genes in your body . . . and allow your body to be liberated into a new future. . . . You must feel a new energy . . . to become some thing greater than your body, your environment, and time . . . so that you have dominion over your body, your environment, and time. . . . Become a thought that affects matter. . . .

  And can you teach your body emotionally . . . what it would feel like to believe in this way . . . to be empowered . . . to be moved by your own greatness . . . to have courage . . . to be invincible . . . to be in love with life . . . to feel unlimited . . . to live as if your prayers are already answered? . . . Come on, give your body, as the unconscious mind, a taste of your future . . . signaling new genes in new ways. . . . Your energy is the epiphenomenon of matter . . . change your energy and change your body. . . . Come on, make your mind matter. . . .

  And how will you live, from this state of being? . . . And if you believe this, what choices would you make? . . . What behaviors could you demonstrate? . . . And what experiences can you observe from this state of being? . . . And how will they feel . . . to be healed, to be free, to believe in yourself and possibility? . . . Let yourself go. . . .

  Bless this future with your own energy. . . . Then it means . . . you’re connected to a new destiny . . . for wherever you place your attention is where you place your energy. . . . Investing in your future . . . and being defined by your future instead of your past. . . . Open your heart and allow your body to become moved by your own inward experience . . . and remember that whatever you truly experience in the unknown . . . and emotionally embrace . . . will ultimately slow down in frequency as energy . . . into three dimensions as matter. . . .

  And now let go and give it up . . . and allow it to be executed by a greater intelligence in a way that’s right for you. . . .

  And now . . . take your left hand and place it over your heart . . . and I want you to bless your body . . . that it be lifted to a new mind . . . and bless your life . . . that it be an extension of your mind . . . to bless your future. . . . that it never be your past . . . to bless your past . . . that it turns to wisdom . . . to bless the adversity in your life . . . that it initiates you into greatness . . . and that you see the hidden meaning behind all things . . . to bless your soul . . . that it wake you up from this dream . . . and to bless the divine in you . . . that it moves in you . . . that it moves through you . . . and that it moves all around you . . . that it shows cause in your life. . . .

  And finally . . . I want you to give thanks for a new life before it’s made manifest . . . so that your body, as the unconscious mind, begins to experience that future now. . . . For the emotional signature of gratitude means the event has already happened. . . . For gratitude is . . . the ultima
te state of receivership. . . .

  And just memorize this feeling . . . bring your awareness . . . back to a new body . . . to a new environment . . . and to a whole new time . . . and when you are ready, you can open your eyes.
