“Thoughts are the vocabulary of the brain, and feelings are the vocabulary of the body. How you think and how you feel creates your state of being.” - Dr. Joe Dispenza
“Your brain is organized to reflect everything you know in your life. It is a record of the past, and an artifact of everything you’ve learned and experienced up to this moment. Feelings and emotions are the end product of past experiences, and we can remember experiences better because we can associate them with a feeling.”
“Let’s take the average person—they wake up in the morning, and the moment they come back to conscious awareness, the first thing they do is they start thinking about their problems. Those problems are memories that are etched in the brain connected to certain people, certain things at certain times and places. If you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, you’re thinking in the past. Every one of those problems has an emotion associated with it. So the moment they think about their problems they start feeling un-happy. They start feeling discouraged, they start feeling fear, they start feeling frustration, they start feeling un-worthy. All of a sudden now, the moment they feel that emotion, their body’s in the past. Why? Because thoughts are the vocabulary of the brain, and feelings are the vocabulary of the body. How you think and how you feel creates your state of being.”
“The latest research in epigenetics says that it’s not genes that create disease. Less than 1% of people on the planet are born with a genetic disorder. The other 99% is for lifestyle and behaviors. So then they say now, what really the science says, is it’s the environment that signals the gene that creates disease—the outer environment of the cell. So then if the environment signals the gene, and the end product of an experience in your environment is an emotion, if you’re living by the same emotion every single day, there’s no new information coming from the environment and you’re signaling the same genes.”
