Dr Joe’s work saved me. Showed me the way out of a decade of meth and heroin. Eternally grateful to look back and not even recognize my old self ❤🙏💫

I'll be 9 years clean off hard drugs in November. I stopped being a victim, became independant as fuck and am truly happy now. I cured social anxiety disorder, ptsd, cptsd and depression with meditations. Now I just wanna help other people break free. Life is such a beautiful experience when you live in the present moment

Dr.joe helped me save myself. 1 year clean and sober 🎉

Sober since Jan 4th 2022 , doing weights and going to the gym most days , routine works wonders.

I healed my chronic pain by simply making a decision to be well. I was so married to my pain that it absolutely ruled my life. Once I made the decision to be well, all sorts of miraculous things started to happen ❤️

From now on I'm going to change my life. I'm not going back to my smoking addiction. If someone is reading this please send some love to strengthen me. We're all gonna make it brah💪💪💪💪💪 I will post my Everyday progress here Day 1 - starting today

This video may have just saved my life. I’m 41 and completely lost on how to fix my brain, just slow my thoughts down. Had trauma at 13. This video just made sense

“An addiction is when the body has been conditioned to be the mind.” 💥 💥 💥 🔥🔥 🔥

To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

Day 1 of sobriety, thank you guys for giving me the strength to understand these coping mechanisms better. Without change one can not expect progress.

It is an every day practice. I discovered Dr. Joe shortly after my husband passed away in 2013, along with Wayne Dyer and Louise Hay. I was in such a grief stricken, devastated, negative state and these life teachers pulled me out of the pit. It is an every day practice though. You have to get ahead of your thoughts before your feet even touch the floor in the morning. I’ve had times where I have backslid but I always praise myself for getting back on the horse because it’s so easy to just throw it all into the wind and say “forget it!” Your present and your future depends on it. That’s kind of the mantra I say to myself every day. ‘Watch your mind. Beware of the dark winding road that your thoughts can take you down. Your present and your future depends on it.’ Thank you so much for this segment. I have missed seeing current material with Dr. Joe.

I believe a lot of people are dealing with trauma without realising it.

As a recovering alcoholic, widow of husband addict, adhd, cptsd, and now trying to recover from a food addiction ffs, he is explaining what I intuitively feel is 100% accurate. Amazing. Going to have to listen to this more than once

6:20 teaching how to self regulate the emotional state 08:34 mistaking love for pleasure 14:14 elevated emotions=heart coherence 26:11 mobile phones - everything known 33:06 how to unlearn 36:11 watching from outside to stop the program - no fail, you learn from mistake 38:26 think box: to assign meaning to the act (of meditation) _ assigning meaning turns on the prefrontal cortex 41:00 46:33 out of the victim role 50:56 instead of quitting, be curious 53:25 trauma and the new - not excuse your change 59:17 what's on the other side of this emotion? Reconditioning the mind like training an animal 01:02:00 forgive as you want to be forgiven 01:04:48 using the situation to reaffirm the addiction to that emotion 01:10:35 he explains why the mind and how we think is stronger than any diet/physical exercise and so on 1:14:26 you get good in what you practice 1:17:20 what happened there? 1:21:52 write it down!

Mushrooms completely changed my whole life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about myself and my body. A bunch of bad thought/behavior patterns were broken. One of these were pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that thing will be fine, this is one thing that I heard throughout the trip; Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me(although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before.

This is so spot on! I’ve been dealing with my addictions for over 2 decades. It’s all about how we deal with our anxiety,boredom, stress. We all go to our go to comfort zone - drugs, sex, gambling etc… we just cannot give it up. It’s tooo comforting. But as he stated - we need to broaden our focus. It’s a struggle daily. I’ll put effort starting TODAY

I started listening to Dr. Joe about a year ago at 62 years old, I’m so glad I found him, it did take something bad to happen for me to make the change I did last year, I no longer allow my body to run my brain, what a great feeling, this video right here makes so much sense, I am finally to beat these addictions that I’m still plague with, thank you, Dr. Joe,

These guys are a gift. Listening automatically puts me into an elevated emotion and a state of gratitude. Wow.❤️❤️

Nice video as always but here is my problem I have been making losses trying to make profit tradng. I thought tradng demo account is just like tradng the real market... can anyone help me out or at least advise me on what to do?

One of the things I did repeatedly for a couple of years is to write down a given trauma, and then rewrite it in a humorous way as though I am working on a stand-up comedy routine. The shift of perception is one of the most crucial starting points to change the way we think and feel about a trauma. In extreme cases where the aftermath of trauma lingers and continues to harm the person, it gets more challenging, which is when it becomes more important to use perception altering aid and allow it to take its time. Progress every day is great, and accepting setbacks is also quite helpful. Sending love and calm to all.

1. Identify the habit you want to break. 2. Write down the triggers that lead to the habit. 3. Write down the negative consequences of the habit. 4. Write down the benefits of breaking the habit. 5. Create a clear intention statement that you will repeat every day. 6. Meditate for 30-45 minutes every day. 7. Visualize yourself breaking the habit and living your life without it. 8. Take action towards your new habit. 9. Celebrate your success.

After listening 100 episodes of Dispenca I finally got it ...I will stick to his meditations till I die :)

Every addiction is a reflection of a mental hurt we experienced in childhood. It is the disrespect or hurt we carry on that parents inflicted on us. People who hurt themselves do so because they don’t love themselves. They don’t love themselves because no one did.

He always amazes me how he NEVER has to think about what he is going to say, never 'umm. Awwh"...he can literally hypnotise with just his voice... can imagine his brain is like a firework display . He has changed my life. Thank you!

A new behavior before sleeping and waking is huge.

Ten years ago I was diagnosed with early onset parkinson's at 33. Since then, I have read and re-read Dr. Dispenza's four books as well as the Ramtha white book he references in his first book. I have spent thousands of hours meditating using his guided meditations. While there have been improvements, the cure has still eluded me. Today I learned that I have been doing it wrong. LOL. Thank you Dr. Chatterjee for asking him a question that has been missed by so many other interviewers. He gets into his think box before he meditates. Fantastic!

This is truly the best video I have seen describing addiction and the fact that emotions need to be regulated in order to assist breaking addictions. Trauma is like a snapshot picture that kidnaps us and our minds keep replaying the scene so we see that picture again. When I no longer drank alcohol years ago, I realized I was using it to emotionally regulate.

I have attempted to meditate many times in my life and prior to this CD the only success I've experienced is with live guided meditation. ukposts.infoUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq This is the first CD I've used that cuts through my unmedicated ADHD and enables me to truly relax and experience a quiet and energizing interval. The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!

Thank You 🤍🙏🏾 I will break my addictions and I will be stronger than ever! I hope the same for everyone who want to not only change their bad habits/but to change our perspective on what we need to change! Letting go ain’t easy yet the desires to walk away are... Hard. We got this! 💯☝🏾 Love And Light To All 🙌🏾

What an incredible podcast! Not only is Dr Dispenza amazing, the host is asking just the right kind of questions too. Thanks so much to both of you for sharing your wisdom with us.

Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.

Sober since 5-6-22. Im on my way, thank you!

I can attest that meditation does work! I never understood why everyone kept talking about it. But since I have had extensive therapy this year, I finally understand and get it. It’s all about slowing us down and keeping us in the present. We cannot be creative when we are not in homeostasis. Getting triggered over and over and over again and not understanding why is crippling. I thought for years I had beat my trauma bc I was “dealing” with my anxiety on my own. I was able to overcome it- but it still kept creeping up. It wasn’t until I got serious about changing and reached out and asked for help that I started to gain the awareness that is discussed in this video. Awareness is the key to be able to change! I pray everyone who needs it finds the courage within theme selves to throw out a lifeline!

Iwas a herion adict for many years and something was missing in my recovery until I heard JD talking about quamtum field, electromagnetism etc. My live is way better healthier and joyful than before . I have been meditatig with Doctor JD since then (but never heard of pre -med ) ........... Sounds great !!!!! GRATEFULY

I am about 18 months in to an escalating substance addiction. I'll be broke in 3 or 4 months and there are now regular failures at work. No one knows for sure I'm an addict, but I'm certain there is concern rising that something serious is up. Right now I'm on my third day without sleeping or eating. It feels like I'm watching my world get torched in slow motion and the end state is clear and inevitable. I stop from time to time but start back with more intensity. Those decisions to start again feel like climbing in to a soft warm bed when you want nothing else but to fall asleep. I'm high as I'm typing this, and this is the first time I've expressed this outside of my own thoughts. Maybe it's a step in the right direction, but honestly, right here right now at this moment, I don't care.

I can’t believe Chatterjee has been a doc for 21 YEARS??? If he’s a testimony for taking care of oneself and eating right. I’m IN.

I’m 6 months clean from heroin cocaine and alcohol.. Iv used alot of this guys meditation and his information to change from within, it felt like somewere along the line I had a spiritual awakening and psychologically It was literally ASIF a button was pushed in my brain and I just turned it the mental obsession; I eat plant based organic foods and local grass fed beef ext no alcohol no sugar no processed foods, no pork. I meditate 🧘‍♀️ every morning and every night no exceptions

There are many therapists who deny the importance of forgiveness. My experience with the ho oponopono prayer has shown me forgiveness goes way beyond the personal and has nothing to do with condoning. I've been introducing the prayer on a daily basis an hourly basis.. every minute! Slowly infiltrating my subconscious mind!!! So glad to have discovered this interview... thank you

This is gold. I listen to many podcasts and this is the real deal but you have to be ready to receive.

I have done 6 rounds of ibogaine for addiction, which is iastronomical knowing that it takes just one session to get a seasoned 30-40 year user off of the hardest drugs (which wasn’t me). It’s the changing of the mind that I was really struggling with. It was the letting go I needed help with. The addiction was just a vehicle for me the continue the cycle of pain and revival over and over. I trust this will be my year.

For those that want real dopamine highs, should try cold immersion, work up to 4 min a day (safely). Your hormonal system will be exercised and youll feel like your high. Combine this with meditation, specifically dynamic training to be able to pull that alpha brain state at any moment, as well as breathwork and you will be able to be totally blissed out at any moment for as long as you want to on command. It may take an awakening in your life to understand this, but if your searching and ready to move beyond/ let go of some of the physical suffering we chose to go through, there is total harmony when we are ready for it. Kinda feels like that buzz you get from drinking, but without any of the shitty parts, and still having fast reactions etc. It may be similar to the samyana or meditation when your active. If your suffering, fast forward to see if you can understand why your suffering it may be for you or others around you. The lowest troghs in the ocean lead to the highest waves, and the opportunity to ride those waves - its for the experience and we can enjoy every moment of it if we can understand how to surf.

Wow... All addictions in the world cured with one video. Thank you !

I really appreciate Dr Joe’s morning routine being that you consider the events and people (my translation) coming up first, then meditate.

What he is saying about what he does before the meditation is so powerful. I used to always just head straight into a meditation with a mind full of unwanted thoughts. You kind of need to clear it to do it right.

The calmness within his voice>>>

Every morning I get my coffee I sit in my chair with my golden retriever, I get a notepad and a pen and I write my intentions for the day. I write I intend to have a great day. I intend to feel joy. I intend to have fun. I intend to have positive interactions with everyone I encountered. I intend to laugh. I intend to have safe travels. And sew on. I pull up a UKposts video on like morning affirmations and I listen to that for like 15 minutes while I drink my coffee. I do not check my email or the News. I get in the shower eat breakfast and then I go to work. I tend to have a great day every day. I have fun every day. And then when I’m in bed at night I practice gratitude. I say I’m grateful for my bed. I’m grateful for my comfortable covers. I’m grateful for a hot shower. I’m grateful for my food. Grateful for my house. Grateful for my son grateful for my dog and so on it makes a huge difference. When you go to bed in a better mood and wake up without all that stimulation, it just said today on such a good tone.

"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that crushed it." -- Mark Twain Truly understanding that profound sentiment really has the power to set you free. ❤

Dr. Joe helps me identify my eating disorder and keeps me grounded

Love this. I love the “think box” + “play box”

What a FANTASTIC interaction. It is like listening in on two friends having a conversation over coffee. And, I appreciated the new insights (for me) into Joe's morning routine. Thank you Rangan for hosting this.

This is so reassuring that I’m on the right track. Thanks muchly for this!

It depends on what you're addicted to and how it affects your daily life. But if you are really hitting rock bottom, you will need to accept that you have to break with all the people around you that share the same addiction or have a connection to the substance.

Thank you so very much for having Dr. Joe in your channel. 🙏🏻💕

Dr Rangan I can tell you that I feel an immediate change after every meditation, like a total switch in my brain that even my girlfriend out of nowhere tells me “i love it when you are this way”.

I've been doing opiates, and I swear, the hospital blood test, showed none in my system, so now I'm wondering if it isn't physiological? So now I'm trying going without, im on 13 hours and no withdrawals, please pray that I get through this.

I have adhd an my brain never stops thinking, it's very hard work to take control of my brain.

I like the deep dive you guys go in on all of Joe's teachings and practices.

What an incredible conversation! Thank you so much for this content!

A simple life is a happy life. We have gotten so far away from that. Glad I have learned to appreciate the simple things in life. I think this comes with age, but not everyone of age gets it. The lucky ones do. Good video. I learned some new things and it explained what I already know in greater detail. Thank you.

Dr. Joe knows what he’s talking about early in my life because I couldn’t understand why I was so upset about feelings and emotions and things people would say or do and my reactions to them. I started mentally nitpicking myself about how could I do it better he puts it into words. This is fabulous. This really does work! And I have to say you also have to work on your body not by putting yourself down, but by taking up some form of exercise that helps you get rid of that creases in your brain that keep you, remembering that event even worse than they were I love Dr. Joe’s work. It is the truth!

I so wish I could make some personal appointments with DR. Joe because he really explains and understand things better than anyone else that’s ever done this. His so relatable!

I always said I want to be the person I am in meditation! THIS brings it to a deeper vibe!

Super grateful for dr joe dispenza. He's the main reason behind my successful career, and having a best friend, business partner for a life partner. He's the reason for my financial abundance. I'm forever grateful for him.

Such a great interview by both Dr's ive been doing the work and meditations daily for roughly 2 weeks now maybe more and im really starting to notice changes in my reactions and responses to people and life, ive gone all in and im determined to succeed no matter what.

This will go over many heads. 💎💎 dropping. As a Muslim meditation is the 5 daily prayers but the importance of the frontal cortex etc is shown here. The rewriting of the brain and control your thoughts and emotions. Proper stuff ❤️👊🏽

Thank you, Dr. Hyman. Greatly helpful as always.

The mind is king of the soul and holds the power. The soul consists of 1st. Mind 2nd emotions/feelings, and 3. your will the decision maker. I have overcome gluttony which plagued me from the age of 9, and today just overcome this at age 55. I dont over eat anymore, praise Jesus. The weight is coming off, went from 372 to 310, and still going down by faith. I bring my thoughts captive to obedience of Christ.. . I feel better and free when my thoughts are controlled.

Thank you so much. May so much favor and prosperity be upon y'all.

Thank you so much for sharing this conversation…. Thank you so very much!!! May we all choose excellent thoughts and ways……. Makes me think of the verse….Consider your ways ….

Great interview! I am very thankful to both of you

l have been doing the same Dr. Joe's meditation for three years, and l feel different. I show up daily deliberately thinking, feeling and acting in a way that will propel me toward my goals. I am more conscious and more compassionate with others and with myself, especially when l have to remind myself of who l no longer want to be. Every day is anew. It's magical. Dr. Joe is my north star.

Long story below: TLDR: Talk about what happened, face the challenge, whether it's your own father or the person who traumatized you. The part starting at 52:00 about trauma is the one that stuck by me the most but I have some side notes after dealing with my own childhood trauma recently. I was abused by a babysitter when I was 4-5 years old. For years I felt like I was less than someone else, that I had to be good in order to make sense of this evil world. This was my way of coping with (not fixing) things. Last week my girlfriend broke up with me after 2 years of love and one emotional outburst of anger. I felt so discouraged about my life, so angry at who I was and why I couldn't be "normal" like anyone else that I went to my parents' place and asked them to tell me everything about what happened. My dad started rambling the usual nonsense: "How can this impact you after all these years", "You are always so labile". I felt so much anger and hatred for those words that I let out a primal scream, shocking my dad who then began to reprimand me, only to be answered with another guttural howl. My parents had never heard anything like it from me and my mom started mediating to avoid a physical altercation (would have been the first time ever where I felt like I needed to beat some sense into him) and we got to the bottom of things. As it turned out, my dad never knew the full extent of what happened. He thought the guy who did that to me "only flashed his penis" and "only talked about a special ointment. I explained to him that this guy had touched me, forced me to touch him and had sexually assaulted me multiple times. I told him that after he was done with me, I stood by the door, still crying, just to protect my brother in the room next door by listening to that person's movement. I told him that one day, I heard him open my brothers door and that I confronted him in the hallway where he told me: "If you ever tell anyone what I did, I will do it to your brother too." It was only after this and seeing my dad's confused and angry look that I realized that all these years of incomprehension from his part where due to a lack of information, not a lack of empathy. My anger disappeared like snow before the sun and my dad and I never have been better now. I got triggered into this whole thing after calling child services, explaining to them what happened to me, only to hear that they can't provide me with any details because of GDPR regulation and because it happened in the 90's and was part of a paper archive that was never digitized. My parents had reported the incident (with a lack of information because I never could tell them what happened) so this started my thought process of: "What if this predator is still out there, unmonitored, destroying other children's lives? After the argument with my dad, I solved many questions that spooked around in my head for years. Who did this to me, where does he work, is he still a threat to me (irrational but always present) and is he a threat to others? I went to the police to report what happened, not because I'm still angry about what happened to me, but to make sure it doesn't happen again to others. I found out that the person who did this to me is now gay, and having two adopted cousins myself, I can close this off knowing that my report will disable him to go through any adoption process as the risk bad intentions is too great. The moral of the story is: Talk about what happened, face the challenge, whether it's your own father or the person who traumatized you. There is no possibility of change if you carry years of misunderstanding without knowing for sure. I had talked to many psychologists only years after what happened but I never felt like anyone could understand me. I know now that I would have never been able to get meaningful results there, thinking that "if not even my father can understand that what happened to me has an impact, how could a complete stranger? Good luck to anyone fighting their own demons. They will always be present but living with them instead of fighting the fact that they are there is key to getting better and growing. I recently started enjoying poetry and the poem that drives me everyday was written by Nikita Gill: I will not have you, without the darkness that hides within you. I will not let you have me, without the madness that makes me. And if our demons cannot dance, then neither can we. Take care of your loved ones. All the best

You’ve asked all the right questions Sir. You are a great interviewer!

after five straight days of Dr Joe meditations in the morning...watching this making me so look forward to tomorrow!!

Best Dr Joe interview I’ve heard in a while. Thanks 🙏🏼

Thank you, so much knowledge, wisdom and common sense packed into this interview

Love this man! Just do the work, because it really works. Do it for your precious self! Can somebody could be more loving and caring than him. He doesn’t infantilizing you, he does this as he treats you as a pair, that has all the potential to become whatever you desire. Honoring your path. Thanks for having him.

Time stamps regarding stale meditations and how to evolve from them: - 37:27 - 38:28 - 39:56 - 41:22 - 41:44 - 43:06 - 48:47 - 1:17:00

Was having a stress ful morning . Listening to Joe always helps me feel better. I went from frustrated to happy in about 20-30 minutes.

This opened my eyes to the fact that im not an addict, my thoughts on how I value my life and my body cells want me to believe so. Sobriety here I am.

Best conversation I've heard all 2023.Amazing work!! Wish I watched this even earlier

Thank you! This was absolutely amazing and true. I'm going on 9 yrs this yr, and in the beginning I did not see any light at the end of my tunnel. I thought for sure that death would be my only way out 'crying now just talking about it all and reliving the situation..., but low and behold that is not the case. There is light I just had to reach out for it and no matter how many times I fall off the wagon I get up and get right back on again. At first I was always ready to give up and give back in to the grips of addiction, however I didn't, everytime i would relapse i would say to myself 'well here i am... done messed up and used again so who cares now might as well just keep right on using. That was one of my biggest set backs. I self sabotaged very badly every chance i got i was my biggest problem my mind held me captive, made me prisoner but.. here i am though, glory to god on the highest of highs. I am happy, healthy and still on my road to recovery and I guess I always will be a recovering drug addict. I hung in there and i have a routine these days and I live by a schedule every single day. This gives me stability and keeps me on the right track. I'm currently taking suboxone for addiction treatment, but I want more than anything to be able to come off of that as well. So then I can finally say I am free from the bonds of addiction. I pray all through out my day. I meditate a lot and I do a lot of self talk and motivation for myself. I have found a love for myself that I did not even know existed bc I was so lost in darkness that I did not love myself at all. Now day's I love myself and my family. I appreciate them in a whole new way. I got all of my emotions back as well and now I can actually laugh and cry naturally. When I was on drugs I had no emotions left I had blocked them all not wanting to feel anything. Thanks again for this good news. God bless you always. #keepUpTheFight. #NeverGiveInToSelf. #PrayCONSTANTLY.

Where does Dr Joe mention 9 days to overcome an addiction? I do love the knowledge and value Joe provides, he is doing wonders for this world. I didn’t hear anywhere that it takes 9 days. Could someone timestamp me if he did?

Thank you for your time and assistance

Right out of the gate I can’t get over the fact this guy has been a doctor for 21 years.

I am a fan of your interviews and topics, grateful. Thank you for having Dr. Dispenza!

I love all this information! Thank you so much for sharing. I plan on listening to it at least once a week ❤ I'm having a problem with starting to meditate because my thoughts won't be quiet. I wake up and I plan on meditating but then I get anxious to get out of bed just get started with my day because I feel like every minute counts and I need to get to doing things ASAP. But I will start very soon. 🙏🏼

Rangan just stay present & go deeper & deeper. I am only half way there, wished there were extra spots in the Australian course in March 23!

Dr Joe is always so inspiring, and his vids seem to show up on my feed, every time I need them most in my life! It's my bday tomorrow, and I was needing a kick in the butt reminder of who I am! 😉🤣 Thanks for this lovely interview Dr Joe, with excellent questions from Dr Rangan! HUGS TO YOU BOTH 🤗🤗

So happy to see this conversation, it came at exactly the right time. 🌱

Love all you do Dr. Dispenza❤️

This is a fabulous talk on trauma by 2 fabulous doctors, very comprehensive.

Thank you both for this video. I want to change and your words have lit a fire.

I was highly addicted to heroin but with Joe's tips I became free from my addiction. So now I can use heroin with moderation like a normal person. Thanks Joe!

The statement about forgiveness at 1hr 2min was big for me. Thank you guys for putting this out there.

This is one of my favourite interviews with Dr. Joe 💫 Thank You 🙏

Love Dr Joe's ideas. Question though regarding first morning thoughts... What if the first thing you wake up to is immense physical pain in leg cramps. How do I unlearn the emotional and mental state response/reaction to pain that almost brings tears to my eyes most days.

Fantastic questions. This episode was addictive.:-) I started & couldn’t stop. Been putting in the work that Dr. Joe recommends. Fav question was asking his morning routine. Thank you
