when their brains are working right, they are working right.
The emotions of stress triggered her genes, and the corresponding hormones created some very challenging health conditions for her.
The brain thinks, but the heart knows.
Emotions are the chemical consequences (or feedback) of past experiences.
When the fight-or-flight nervous system is switched on and stays on because of chronic stress, the body utilizes all its energy reserves to deal with the constant threat it perceives from the outer environment. Therefore, the body has no energy left in its inner environment for growth and repair, compromising the immune system.
stress chemicals can create disease.
she started meditating twice a day.
For a year, her health didn’t change very much. But she kept doing her meditations.
genes don’t create disease; instead, the environment signals the gene to create disease.
She wasn’t her name, her gender, her disease, her culture, or her profession—she was beyond space and time. She had connected to a field of information called the quantum field,
My view of reality is so limited!
melatonin levels are the highest between 1:00 A.M. and 4:00 A.M.,
if you have a fearful thought, you start to feel fear. The moment you feel fear, that emotion influences you to think more fearful thoughts, and those thoughts trigger the release of even more chemicals in the brain and body that make you continue to feel more fear. The next thing you know, you get caught in a loop where your thinking creates feeling and your feeling creates thinking.
Emotions are energy in motion. All energy is frequency and all frequency carries information. Based on our own personal thoughts and feelings, we are always sending and receiving information.
The only way we can change our lives is to change our energy—to change the electromagnetic field we are constantly broadcasting. In other words, to change our state of being, we have to change how we think and how we feel.
As we practice maintaining elevated emotions and changing our energy, we can literally up-regulate new genes that make new healthy proteins to strengthen our internal defense system.
This means that you might not need a pharmacy or an exogenous substance to heal you—you have the power from within to up-regulate the genes that make IgA within a few days. Something as simple as moving into an elevated state of joy, love, inspiration, or gratitude for five to ten minutes a day
where you place your attention is where you place your energy,
all the things in the outer world that compete for your attention—your cell phone, your laptop, your bank account, your house, your job, your coworkers, your spouse, your kids, your enemies, your pets, your medical conditions, and so on.
How much energy do you have left in your inner world of thoughts and feelings to create a new reality?
why we use meditation as the model to change our internal state. This allows us to break from our associations to every body, every one, every thing, every where, and every time long enough to journey within. Once you overcome your emotional body and you take your attention off everything known to you in your outer world, you call your energy back to you,
you have to take your attention off your body, your pain, and your hunger. You’re going to have to go from being someone to being no one
Calling Your Energy Back
If beta brain waves indicate when you are placing the majority of your attention on your outer world, alpha brain waves indicate when you are placing more of your attention on your inner world.
It wants to feel the emotions it has become addicted to, and like an addict craving a drug, the body is craving the familiar chemicals.
emotions are records of the past),
As you take your attention off your past-present reality or your predictable future reality, you are calling energy back to you and building your own electromagnetic field. Now you have available energy to heal yourself or to create a new experience in your life.
Some days I find the sweet spot of the present moment pretty quickly, while on other days I have to work for an hour at bringing my brain and body back into the present.
living by the hormones of stress causes our brain waves to fire in a very disordered, incoherent pattern (which in turn means our bodies can’t work efficiently) because we are trying to control and predict everything in our lives.
you keep investing your energy into the unknown (as you would invest money in a bank account),
it will show up in a way you can’t predict (because if you can predict it, then it’s a known).
the moment you forget and start stressing about when it’s going to happen or how it’s going to happen, you’ll return back to your old self—trying to predict the future based on the past. And then you’ll start feeling the same old familiar emotions (with the same lower energy) that influence your same old thoughts, and you’ve just made the choice to stay trapped in the known.
Gratitude is a powerful emotion to use for manifesting because normally we feel gratitude after we receive something. So the emotional signature of gratitude means it has already happened.
It might take more than a few meditations for your future opportunity to unfold. It could happen in a week, a month, or even longer. The key is to keep doing it until it occurs.
You try to predict a future that’s based on the past, and you do that in part by paying more attention to your outer world of objects and things than to your inner world of thoughts and feelings. In other words, you stay in narrow, convergent focus—obsessively thinking about the same things over and over again. That’s what stress does.
One of the main purposes of meditation is to move beyond the analytical mind.
each one of these energy centers has a plexus of neurons, then each has its own individual mind
95 percent of the feel-good hormone serotonin in your body is found not in your brain but in your bowels.3 So trusting our gut literally means trusting our instincts.
That’s the point of doing this meditation: to speed up the frequency so it entrains the lower disorganized frequency back into coherence and orderliness,
So your thoughts drive your feelings, and your feelings drive your thoughts,
only about 5 percent of who we are is conscious and the remaining 95 percent is a subconscious body-mind program.
Your brain monitors your chemical state, and the moment you feel angry, it’s going to think more corresponding thoughts equal to how you feel.
the body becomes the mind of that emotion,
By digesting less food, their body has more energy to balance itself. They may also abstain from sexual intercourse for a period of time to allow the body to restore itself. During their retreat, they will also remove themselves from the constant stimulation they normally receive from their environment, including their friends, kids, coworkers, appointments and schedules, job, computers, homes, and cell phones.
heart and the brain have more nerve connections to each other than any other systems in the body.
if the heart is beating incoherently for extended periods of time, not working in balance and order, sooner or later it is going to fail.
Today, with about 75 percent accuracy, science can predict what someone is feeling just by looking at the beat-to-beat activity of the heart using heart rate variability analysis.9
the stronger the elevated feelings, the stronger the magnetic field.
Heart attacks and heart disease, for example, occur when the body has been under stress for extended periods of time.
As your brain waves slow down and you get beyond your analytical mind, your brain moves into trance and you’re more suggestible to information.
