You Are the Placebo

Clients and fellow Practitioners are always talking about Joe Dispenza; his meditations, retreats, and books.  I have to agree, his messages are transformational and worthy of your engagement.

You Are the Placebo: Making your Mind Matter

by Dr. Joe Dispenza

About the placebo effect:

"The process works not because of any magic in the tablet, but because the human body is its own best apothecary and because the most successful prescriptions are filled by the body itself."

- Norman Cousins, 1979

Dispenza shares miraculous stories of healing from his own life and others.  He explores scientific studies that detail the inner-workings of the placebo effect, and the myriad ways that it functions within the body.  The compilation of scientific knowledge inspires us to unlock our mental potential toward health.  

In Chapter 8, "The Quantum Mind", Dispenza discusses the makeup of the atom, which is 99.999999999% space.  (That space between the proton/neutron and the electron is vast!)  This space holds energetic frequencies, which can be used to access different potentials.  He shares how to shift our frequencies from dense matter of stuckness to the energetic waves which allow movement and change.  

Chapter 10, "Information to Transformation: Proof that you Are the Placebo" includes Dispenza's research on the power of meditation.  He tracks the brain activity of participants at his 4-day retreats.  Participants with Parkinson's, Traumatic Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, and more, find that their brain waves calm during 4 days of meditation.  This produces more coherent messages from the brain to the body, bringing about a state of rapid healing.  These participants found that 1 hour of meditating per day IS their placebo; the symptoms of their illnesses reverse.  

This book is an inspiring guide to self-healing, changing our lives through our minds, and empowerment to be our best selves.  It is based on science and personal stories.  

Happy reading!
