Dr. Joe Dispenza explains why your body rejects thoughts that don't match its emotional state. If you're conditioned to suffering, abundance and health feel like lies. He describes how resentment creates a chemical loop that keeps you stuck reliving the past, but breath work and deliberate actions like giving can shift your physiology and break the pattern.

We only accept, believe and surrender to the thoughts that are equal to our emotional state. We'll never accept, believe and surrender any thoughts that are not equal to your emotional state. So you can say, I'm abundant, I'm eternal, I'll live forever, I'm healthy, I'm wealthy. And if you're programmed your body into that emotional state, it's going to say you're not that it doesn't believe. It only accepts the thoughts of suffering and, and misery because it's equal to that emotional state. So then here's the fundamental question. Okay. Take a person whose identity is resentment. Yes. And their identity is anger and frustration and betrayal. And you ask them, why are you this way? And they'll say, I'm this way because of this event that happened to me 15 years ago. Stronger the emotion we feel from some event, the more altered we feel inside of us. The more that chemical continuity is just disrupted from something that surprises us, that alters our state. The more the brain freezes a frame and takes a snapshot. That's called a memory. Right. But the problem is that we think about that event over and over again after it happens. We're producing the same chemistry in the brain and body as if the event was occurring. And so the body is conditioned literally into the past. So, so we're living in the past. So a person says. So you say the person's resentful about everything. They're seeing their life through the lens of resentment and frustration and anger and everything's upsetting them. Well, that's a self fulfilling prophecy. You say, okay, now it's an addiction. You got to change that. And the person goes, oh, okay, that makes sense. And now, now that you got to get out of bleachers on the playing field and say, okay, these emotions could literally have something to do with my health. Just saying, if I stop feeling these emotions, what if I start feeling these emotions? Okay, what would be the emotions that would make me happy? These emotions are making me feel really bad. The memories are making me feel really bad. Can I remember a future? How would I feel if my future could happen? I got to trade those emotions for different emotions. Well, if I've been practicing feeling these emotions and I've conditioned my body to be the mind, it's going to take some time for me to start making different chemistry with the intention of making that chemistry, getting my body back into homeostasis and balance. Work on my breath. When I breathe, I change my state. Practice breathing. Work with your body so it can start to relax so that it feels safe enough to feel something other than that again. And if it takes you three weeks, it would be worth it. Absolutely. So then person then starts. Okay. I don't really know how to feel gratitude. Okay, well, maybe start going out and giving and give to people. I promise, you start giving, you'll start feeling grateful.
