Question (summarized): How do you get back into a meditation after getting distracted by intrusive thoughts? Recorded at the Sardinia Week Long Advanced Retreat, April 2018
I’m reading The Red Lion right now. Without spoilers, It’s a book dissecting various challenges and detours one has to overcome on the journey of pursuing personal truth. I’ve found myself sweating cold sweat during reading - it’s so relatable, to an extent, that as if I was placed to be examined under a microscope: knowing the old me wasn’t always pleasant. But this process is absolutely necessary. In short, this is a book that is for a ready-heart to seek personal truth under the cover of mystical novel. Thank you, Dr. Joe.🙏❤️
Have been practicing my new personality for 45 days and felt great. Then I had a backlash for 7 days. Hating the world etc. I decided to get my self back into alignment, with new insight, and then I stumbled onto this video that clearly motivates me to keep going. That I’m on the right path. Perfect
The meditations at night are on and off. But some times i find the sweet spot. The point is to try to find the feeling of the wish fulfilled and be familiar with it so you can activate it during the day. But what works the most for me is something i learnt on my own which is this - I go for a walk in an open field or a soccer field baseball field park whatever. And as i walk laps, i use my imagination to feel all sorts of things and create different moods and i even talk positive things. This works so well for me cause i'm actively walking and feeling like a different person or feeling like i have/am what i want. The point is to always try to be a different person to when you began, and try to carry it with you. Don't get me wrong i'm still getting up and downs. I have felt incredibly sad some days but behind that sadness theres peace and appreciation. I feel like i'm worth much more than what my life is giving me, but i will keep practicing the better feelings and state of being cause i feel like i'm getting closer to my future self.
archangul have you understood that sadness because this is what I’m going through? I’ll have this burst of/ overwhelming feeling of deep appreciation then I’ll go through this sadness but not like depression or “the blues”. It’s like sadness for no reason. I’m trying to determine if it’s sadness in my body or my brain. I’m starting to believe it is an emotional addiction that I’ve been unaware of.
Dude is awesome. The way he explains this stuff, it's so grounded and so compelling at the same time - he actually genuinely makes you excited about reaching for the possibilities rather than staying trapped. There have been other great teachers, eg Louise Hay, but there's something so practical about the way he communicates these techniques that really makes it stick.
Intrusive thoughts will come. The important thing is to just not let them bother you and not get upset that they are happening. Just gently push them aside and enter back into the meditation. I find this will happen a few times, but if I don't get upset at them and just gently reingage then everything is fine. There was once when I had such bad anxiety I just could not do a meditation. I found another type of somatic method that grounded me by looking, hearing and sensing things in a room (from Sukie Baxter) and that calmed me better at that time. I went back to blessing of the energy centers when I could.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 I also got intense anxiety while doing BOTEC 1. It took everything in me to stay and finish. I saved your recommendation. Thank you 🙏🏻
I’ve been practicing Law of Attraction since 2009 (going on 11 years). I want to tell you all that it ABSOLUTELY works. I have a list of over 300 things, big and small, that I’ve manifested from $50k to healing cavities and growing an inch past 30. It is SO important to hone our focus. As a powerful conscious creator, fear and negative emotion are indicative of only one thing - you are focused on something that you do not wish to happen. When we are in a state of fear or negative emotion (every type of negative emotion stems from some form of fear), it means that we are imagining events and situations happening (or not happening) and seeing it so vividly that we are able to feel the negative emotions that are produced by those imagined events as if they have already happened. If you are familiar with the Laws of the Universe (Law of Attraction), you will realize that this is EXACTLY how things are manifested. You focus on what you want (or in this case what you don’t want) and feel the corresponding emotion and BOOM, sooner or later a manifestation in the physical world happens. When we are able to let go of our fears, we begin programming our minds to think and imagine only the things that we wish to create. Here are 5 steps to help you release your fears so that you can focus back on what you like to attract: 1. Be aware - know how you are feeling at all times so you know when you are thinking negative thoughts 2. Ask yourself whether or not your negative thought is helpful - 100% of fear thoughts are not helpful at all. Fear of crossing the street and getting hit by a car is not going to help you at all. What will help is being careful when you cross the street and that takes focus in the moment which is NOT possible when you are focused on your fear and you may become a “deer in headlights”. 3. Make an Intention to let the thought go - After identifying that the fear or negative emotion does not serve you, it is much easier to let it go. You would not continue to eat something that makes you sick or carry around a bag of useless bricks once you’ve identified that they are useless. - making an intention to let the thought go will allow you to let the thought go much easier. You are basically giving yourself the permission to let it go. 4. Clear yourself - The next step is to clear yourself. Take a few minutes to breathe, focus on silence or the sounds around you without judgement, focus on feeling parts of your body without judgement, look at something intensely without judgement. This will shift your focus and allow you to move away from your negative though. Do this until you feel a sense of relief or peace. 5. Think of what you DO want - after you clear your mental and emotional space, it is then much easier to fill that space with thoughts of what you do want. You can now insert thoughts that make you feel good. If you have fears that you will not get the job you want, this is the time for you to imagine GETTING the job of your dreams and feeling what that would feel like. You can also go back to past memories of things that made you feel Love, Joy, Fulfillment Etc Much Love and Blessings to you all on this magical Journey! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nFRpi0ZxN7Y.html
In simple words, let your thoughts come and go. Do not resist them! The minute you resist something or a thought, you pay undivided attention to it and it becomes you!
WOW! Are you kidding me!!! The last part about the alter ego.... EXACTLY WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING TODAY!! Serendipity! I stumbled upon Dr. Joe 3 days ago....and I haven’t looked back. He/This/IT is exactly what I need right now. Thank. You. 🌀💜
How is your experience thus far? After seven months? What is the best advice you'd give to someone who was like you seven months ago? Im on my third day too!
The Red Lion has been written by Szepes Mária, hungarian writer and that book is an initiation! And is my favorite book also! I was thinking exactly of that scene when he took back his energy from the creature.. this is amazing.. Much LOVE AND GRATITUDE from Seklerland!
Now that I’ve read all four of your books ten times each, I am now running these gems 24/7. Thank you for making your teaching so available. You have spoiled us with your ability to break down the processes.
Dr. Joe is such a sweetheart! I can't attend his workshops in person because of limited resources. But I am following his work and fully trust that the Universe will heal me.....Thank you Dr. Joe for sharing your wisdom🙏🙏🙏
If you put your mind to it you can go but you have stopped yourself buy convincing yourself you are limited you can definitely heal yourself doing his work at home which is amazing but you can also go to the retreat jus because you are an unlimited bieng, I believe in you and all the best!
what an incredible teacher. i watch this one video over and over again because of the depth and density of the speech, i learn something new off one 8 min video. he is a teacher to be followed for a life time.
Dr. J - don’t ever wonder if you’re inspiring change out there because you’ve inspired me to return to my life before all the poor choices, addictions, thinking, loss, despair, AFG war, divorce, raising kids solo, etc..
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Your soul and spirit, your work and message and application of ancient wisdom of the Profound into scientific and laymen terms is so stunning--is miraculous. I AM SO FOREVER GRATEFUL TO HAVE FOUND YOU! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Dr. Joe completely changed my life for the better. He reminded me of the power of manifestation I had when I was a kid. The difference between an adult and a kid is the analytical mind. As a kid, our imagination is unlimited and we believe in the impossible ( faith). As an adult, we analyze everything and apply limitations based on reason and experiences. So I just started thinking like a kid again and put my energy into believing and amazing things have come into fruitation because of it. Thank you
Great video. I find what works for me is dissociation (something psychologists enjoy getting rid of), or saying to myself, "If you want to go down this path of being sucked back into listening to self talk, go ahead". For some reason it works better for me than trying to force myself to stop doing it. May just be me, but it works far better than fighting it.
I had this realization in the car yesterday, how we have to literally feed our negative emotions by running through the same triggering thoughts that created them. It's true and I thank thee universe for bringing this video to my attention as it gave my analysis a tiny smidgen of confidence
When I first started I could not concentrate for more than 5 minutes....FUSTRATING....and I could not let go ofy anger issues...Now I can!Started in November 2018...It takes work but this works.
Awesome videos! Dr Joe's teachings are a big eye opener, I'm looking forward to having the Amazing experiences that He talks about in his workshops. He's is a Blessing to the World.
Wow I had a similar situation while in meditation where my arm was so painful that I literally cried, I moved around shaking my arm trying to get rid of the pain but kept on with meditating. I believed that I was wasting my time meditating but eventually the pain subsided I felt great, overcoming the pain and having an amazing outcome. WOW feeling blessed. Sending lots of love and keep on keeping on 🥰🥰🥰
So amazing!! I had a frustrating moment at the grocery store earlier today. My card kept declining and I was really embarrassed and walked out to make a call. I started feeling sorry for myself while I was frustrated at the same time. Got the groceries but was STILL holding on to the emotion even though the situation alreadyworked out. I sat in a quiet room to meditate and kept repeating "I'm sorry, its okay, affirming to myself ..then just listened. All on my mind was the feeling of pure forgiveness for myself. Took only 15 mins and I was back as if I had a heart talk with someone and felt amazing. Then I see this video hours after?!! Wow, I am so grateful to hear this. Have a great new year 🙏🏼😊
This is the whole ball of wax! This has helped me so much to understand + work with my own process as I do this work from home, just learning Dr. Joe's techniques. This was super helpful + has helped me to know to "keep going."
The universe definitely sent me towards your videos and talks. I know all this stuff, practiced it and have had temporary success a few times, but often fall back into the patterns and habits of reacting to thoughts. Sometimes it just takes the right explanation to get you back on the horse and feeling strong enough to implement the new process of not reacting and identifying with thoughts. Thank you very much, I'm really grateful.
Tom Quinlan yes it’s easy to fall back into old patterns! I agree that his explanation here really makes sense and hopefully it will make a difference next time we encounter such a challenge
Well said. You are exactly correct, for me, about sometimes just the right explanation is needed. And in that same vein, there have been concepts that I never fully grasped for YEARS. There was always some confusion in my mind. Then I hear it said in a slightly different way, maybe by a different person, and BAM! Like an optical illusion, I now SEE it. And then I really understand.
It's just Wow! I struggle for a long time with very provoking intrusive thoughts and started to identify myself with them. But the realisation that it's my attention on these thoughts that's stealing my energy away changed the game forever. So grateful to receive this light of knowledge form dr. Joe . 🙏🙏
@@brahmanwithin6623 yes attention is what feed these thoughts and you will lose your power . Just observe them and let them go . Treat these Thoughts or images (which you know you surely don't want inside you)as foreign. When they come see them and let them go without holding and judging.
This is so Good 😊! Many Thanks 🙏🏼 Dr.Joe Dispenza Truly grateful for your Videos. My greatest Birthday gift Ever!!!! Got your book “ Breaking The Habit Of Being Yourself” yesterday!
7:24 this is brilliant Dr Joe This is something that I was thinking every time I meditate I get annoyed with these mundane thoughts that interrupt when I become no body, no one, no thing, no where I get interrupted with thoughts of what I’m going to wear when I go shopping, or what someone said to me. Or or or 🤣🤣 My goodness becoming aware is so much reprogramming The Red Lion 🦁 is a book to read next
Joe when are you coming to do a workshop in London? We are all waiting for you here and so looking forward to hearing from you. Please let us know as there are so many who will benefit from a workshop. Sending love and lots of blessings. Thank you for all your wonderful books CDs and inspiration. ❤️🌈💫
I just started listening to him but I know what he’s talking about. When I just started walking up at 4 my body b telling go back to sleep do it tomorrow or after work and I never do it. Now I wake up at 4 am I meditate workout and read a book and walk my dog b4 work easy now. But their still things I have to deal with at work and my dad but I put an effort instead of will did it tomorrow
Awesome. How lucky are we that we live in an age where such information for self empowerment is freely available! If i have to spend the rest of my life practicing this I'm prepared to do it. I'm worth the investment.
Thanks Joe,I know exactly what you mean, to myself it's just amazing.wherever I meet someone my mind just keeps on sending and receiving millions of signals.and it's in the way we interact with each other, that's so fascinating for me. Evolution via learning an amazing journey .
Interesting. Let's not forget, however, that our body isn't the "enemy." Sometimes, we simply want to move to a new level or expression of self in a more relaxed, gradual way. I absolutely love Dr. Joe, but I'm not going to freak out if my body doesn't' cooperate sometimes. I will overcome it at some point.
This is exactly how I’ve felt! I’ve been struggling with religious OCD and anxiety for the past few months. I don’t mean to have the most blasphemous thoughts ever. Now I slowly realized, those thoughts aren’t me. They just a hurdle I either have to go around, plow thru or ignore.
