Who is Dr. Joe Dispenza? 🧠

 

Dr. Joe Dispenza is a neuroscientist, a New York Times best-selling author, international lecturer, and corporate consultant whose research has led him to develop a practical formula to help people transform their lives. This ranges from transformative physical changes, to achieving big goals, to living a happier life; all kinds of different manifestations.

Some of his most profound physical wellness examples (which have been backed with proof of results and exceptional testimonials) include curing people of cancer who have been told that they have only a few months left to live, enabling wheelchair bound people to walk again, helping blind people see and many more (discussed in the video with Ed Mylett further down this article).

He was one of the scientists featured in the award-winning film What the BLEEP Do We Know!? He is the author of several New York Times bestsellers. His work includes ‘You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter‘, ‘Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself‘, ‘Evolve Your Brain‘, and ‘Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon‘.

As a researcher, his work lies in the latest findings of neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics. He uses this knowledge to help people achieve goals and aspirations, as well as to heal people of illnesses, chronic conditions, and even terminal diseases such as cancer. His passions include exploring the science behind spontaneous remissions. He teaches people how to heal their bodies of health conditions, make significant changes in their lives, and evolve their consciousness.

Our thoughts shape physical reality. As Henry Ford once said, “If you think you can or you can’t you’re right!” You can achieve your goals with the right mindset and vision.

 

Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Quotes 🗣️

 

Dr. Joe Dispenza has many famous quotes, some favorites from his books are listed below:

“Your thoughts are incredibly powerful. Choose yours wisely.”

“A new personality creates a new personal reality.”

“If we want to change some aspect of our reality, we have to think, feel, and act in new ways.”

“If you want a new outcome, you will have to break the habit of being yourself, and reinvent a new self.”

“Teach your body emotionally what it would feel like to live as if your prayers are already answered.”

“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.”

“The latest research supports the notion that we have a natural ability to change the brain and body by thought alone, so that it looks biologically like some future event has already happened. Because you can make thought more real than anything else, you can change who you are from brain cell to gene, given the right understanding.”

“Your thoughts and feelings come from your past memories. If you think and feel a certain way, you begin to create an attitude. An attitude is a cycle of short-term thoughts and feelings experienced over and over again. Attitudes are shortened states of being. If you string a series of attitudes together, you create a belief. Beliefs are more elongated states of being and tend to become subconscious. When you add beliefs together, you create a perception. Your perceptions have everything to do with the choices you make, the behaviors you exhibit, the relationships you chose, and the realities you create.”

“Meditating is also a means for you to move beyond your analytical mind so that you can access your subconscious mind. That’s crucial, since the subconscious is where all your bad habits and behaviors that you want to change reside.”

“To be happy with yourself in the present moment while maintaining a dream of your future is a grand recipe for manifestation. When you feel so whole that you no longer care whether “it” will happen, that’s when amazing things materialize before your eyes. I’ve learned that being whole is the perfect state of creation. I’ve seen this time and time again in witnessing true healings in people all over the world. They feel so complete that they no longer want, no longer feel lack, and no longer try to do it themselves. They let go, and to their amazement, something greater than they are responds; and they laugh at the simplicity of the process.”

“True happiness has nothing to do with pleasure, because the reliance on feeling good from such intensely stimulating things only moves us further from real joy.”

 

Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Books and Videos 📚

 

Dr. Joe Dispenza has a number of highly acclaimed books, including ‘Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon‘, ‘Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself‘, ‘You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter‘, and more here. You can also view the videos below discussing his work, findings, and insights.

Video 1 – Rewired with Dr. Joe Dispenza (Gaia)

This is an episode from Gaia interviewing Dr. Joe Dispenza on rewiring the brain/personality/being. Some of the main points are listed below.

1. You’re not fixed, your brain and body can change

• Humans are not hardwired or limited by genes.
• Thoughts can physically change your brain, body, and life.
• The key is not just knowing this, but learning how to apply it.

2. The “Three Brains” model

He explains transformation as a progression through three parts of the brain:

1. Neocortex (Thinking brain) – Where you learn and understand ideas. Create new neural connections through learning.
2. Limbic brain (Emotional brain) – Turns experiences into feelings/chemicals. Emotions teach the body what the mind learned.
3. Cerebellum (Subconscious brain) – Stores habits and automatic behaviors. Repetition turns actions into who you are.

Knowledge turns to Experience, which turns to Habit (being)

3. Change requires embodiment

• It’s not enough to think differently, you must feel and act differently.
• Repeating new experiences rewires the brain and conditions the body.
• Eventually, the new state becomes automatic (a new identity).

4. Neuroplasticity & neurogenesis

The brain can:

• Form new connections (neuroplasticity) and grow new neurons (neurogenesis), if exposed to new thoughts and experiences.
• If you repeat the same (old) thoughts daily, your biology stays the same.

5. Stress vs coherence

• Most people live in stress (survival mode); fight-or-flight scattered, chaotic brain activity.
• This leads to incoherence (mental and emotional disorder)
• A regulated, focused mind creates coherence (better functioning)

Video 2  – The Choice We All Have, But Only a Few Apply It (Dr. Joe Dispenza)

This video is another Dr. Joe Dispenza interview breaking down thought processes and how the internal state affects external reality (linking the Law of Correspondence in the Hermetic Principles of the Universe; “As within, so without”, the Law of Attraction, and Law of Assumption).

1. Most people live in the past

• The brain is a record of past experiences and thoughts trigger emotions tied to memories.
• As such thinking about problems is reliving the past and emotions reinforce that past identity.
• Your state of being is past-based.

2. Thoughts and feelings make your identity

• Thoughts are the language of the brain.
• Feelings are the language of the body.
• Together, they create your state of being.
• Most people think past thoughts and feel past emotions, so they stay the same person.

3. Trying to change feels uncomfortable (and that’s the point)

• It feels unfamiliar and uncertain.
• The body (conditioned by past emotions) resists, generating negative thoughts (“start tomorrow”, “you can’t”).
• The body is addicted to the past emotional state.

4. The feedback loop that keeps you stuck

• Thought → Choice → Behavior → Experience → Emotion → Same thought
• Breaking this loop requires not reacting to old thoughts and acting differently despite discomfort.

5. Creating a new future (instead of repeating the past)

• You must be defined by a vision of the future, not memories.
• Visualization activates the brain as if the future is happening now.
• Feel the future before it happens.

6. Emotional rehearsal changes biology

• Imagine a future clearly (intention).
• Feel the emotion of it now (elevated emotion).
• This creates a new internal state that begins to change your brain and body

7. Stop waiting for external results

• Most people think, “I’ll feel happy when I succeed”.
• People should feel happy, grateful, empowered first, then the external results follow.

Video 3 – “Nobody Changes Until They Change Their Energy” (Dr Joe Dispenza on the Chris Williamson Podcast)

This interview of Dr. Joe Dispenza on the Chris Williamson podcast explores how you don’t change your life by changing circumstances, you change it by changing your internal state (“energy”).

1. Change comes from a change in “energy” (state of being)

• “Energy” is your thoughts and emotions combined.
• When this internal state changes, your behavior and outcomes follow.
• New energy creates new experiences and a new life.

2. Proof comes from experience (not belief)

• He emphasizes self-experimentation.
• When people change their inner state, then notice coincidences or shifts, they start believing it works.
• This builds confidence and has a snow-ball/compounding effect through repetition.

3. People fail because they don’t sustain it

• Many try once and then revert to old thinking.
• Transformation requires consistently rehearsing new thoughts/emotions repeatedly.

4. Beliefs evolve through evidence

• You don’t just “believe first”
• You try it, see results, build belief, and reinforce the cycle.

5. Summary

Internal state creates external results when practiced consistently until it becomes natural.

Video 4 – The Truth About Meditation That No One Tells You (Joe Dispenza)

In the video below, Dr. Joe Dispenza is interviewed by Ed Mylett, where he details some of the profound benefits of meditation. This includes that meditation isn’t about escaping reality, it’s about creating a new one by changing who you are at a fundamental level; “Your personality creates your personal reality”.

1. Most people live in the past (without realizing it)

Your thoughts, emotions, and habits are on autopilot:

• Your body becomes addicted to familiar emotions (stress, anxiety, frustration)
• When you want change, your body pulls you back to the same patterns.
• Meditation helps you break that cycle of unconscious living.

2. Meditation is becoming conscious of your unconscious

It’s not just clearing your mind, it’s about:

• Observing your thoughts.
• Detaching from emotional reactions.
• Not identifying with your old self.
• Essentially stepping out of your “programming”.

3. You have to feel the future before it happens

One of Dispenza’s biggest ideas is the Law of Assumption, which is advocated by many Law of Attraction teachers like Neville Goddard:

• Don’t wait for success to feel happy, feel the emotion first (joy, gratitude, abundance).
• The brain and body don’t know the difference between real and vividly imagined experiences.
• This is how you start conditioning your body to a new future.

4. The “unknown” is where change happens

People avoid uncertainty because it feels uncomfortable, but:

• The unknown is possibility.
• The familiar is your past.
• Meditation trains you to get comfortable with uncertainty, which is necessary for transformation.

5. Consistency matters more than intensity

Real change doesn’t come from one powerful session, it comes from:

• Daily practice.
• Repetition.
• Discipline.

Over time, this reshapes neural pathways and emotional responses.

6. Your personality creates your personal reality

• Your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions make your personality.
• That personality produces your life results.
• To change your life, you must become a different person mentally and emotionally first.

Video 5 – Dr Joe Dispenza: You MUST Do This Before 10am! (The Diary of a CEO)

This interview of Dr. Joe Dispenza on Steve Bartlett’s podcast discusses how the way you think and feel early in the day programs your brain and body for the rest of your life.

1. Morning is the programming window

• Early hours are when your brain is most suggestible
• If you wake up stressed, you reinforce the past.
• If you wake up intentionally, you start creating a new future.

2. Most people are “addicted” to stress

• He argues people become chemically dependent on anxiety, pressure, and negative emotions.
• This keeps them stuck in the same patterns.

3. The solution is daily mental rehearsal

• Before 10am, he recommends meditation/stillness and visualizing your future.
• When visualizing, feeling emotions like gratitude, joy, and empowerment.
• This signals the body and starts rewiring the brain.

4. Intention and elevated emotion

• This is his core formula; clear intention (what you want) and elevated emotion (feel it now).
• Together they create a new “state of being” and begin biological change.

5. Daily repetition leads to identity change

• Changes habits.
• Breaks emotional addictions.
• Creates a new personality.
• A new personality creates a new personal reality.

Videos 6 & 7 – How to Change The Way You Think

These videos are two parts of one interview that discusses how our personality (thoughts, behaviors, and emotions) creates our personal reality. So to change your life, you must become a different person. Here are some key points that overlap with some of the other interviews, with some additional perspectives.

1. You’re stuck in a loop

• Same thoughts create the same feelings, that create the same actions and produce the same life.
• Most people are repeating the past every day

2. Your personality creates your life

• Personality is how you think, act, and feel.
• The same personality creates the same results.
• To change your life, you must become a different person.

3. Change feels uncomfortable

• Your body is used to familiar emotions (stress, fear etc.).
• When you try to change, it resists.
• That discomfort means you’re actually changing.

4. “Energy” and the quantum idea

• Thoughts are electrical signals.
• Feelings are magnetic signals (linking again to attraction/the Law of Attraction).
• Together they create an “electromagnetic signature”.
• This “energy” attracts matching experiences.

5. Emotional states/conditioning over time

• Short-term reaction is emotion.
• If it lasts days it’s mood.
• If it lasts months it’s temperament
• If it lasts years it’s personality.
• Many people turn past events into long-term identity, but you can choose to react/frame them in a positive, empowering way.

6. The method for change

• Decide on a new future (clear intention)
• Then feel it now (gratitude, joy etc.)/assume you already have it (Law of Assumption) so you act differently.
• Repeat this daily.
• Your brain can become a map of the future, not just a record of the past.

7. Key shift

• Stop living from the past (old emotions).
• Start living from a future you choose.

8. Summary

• You don’t wait for life to change, you change internally first.
• Become aware of your patterns and stop repeating them.
• Think differently, so you act differently and feel differently.
• Repeat this daily.
• Think, feel, and act like your future self, until it becomes who you are.
