This meditation will teach you how to rewire your brain and recondition your body to a new mind so that you change two subconscious beliefs or perceptions of your choice that keep you repeating the same patterns in your life.įor further information regarding the purpose and benefits of these meditations, please refer to Chapter 12 in You Are the Placebo.

In order for you to change a belief or a perception about yourself in your life, you must be instructed to make a decision with such firm intention that the amplitude of energy of that choice causes your body to respond to a new mind. Since feelings and emotions are the end products of past experiences, the boundaries of our beliefs are your familiar feelings. A belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again until it’s hard-wired in your brain. All beliefs and perceptions are created from past experiences. ![]() ![]()
