A weeklong retreat with dr. Joe Dispenza

In June 2023 I was — by a stroke of good luck — able to attend a weeklong retreat with Dr. Joe Dispenza in Cancun, Mexico. Grateful, excited, and carrying many expectations (even though I tried to keep them as low as possible), I set off on that adventure. But was it truly worth the money and time?

Even though I thought that the event was kind of pricy, I signed up and, a few weeks later (no joke) I manifested exactly the amount I needed for the retreat, the accommodation, the flight, and even a little extra spending money, adding up to a total of 5.000 Euro. That unexpected abundance was really a magical start to an already amazing retreat.

What happens during a weeklong retreat?

During a weeklong retreat you leave your everyday routine behind and can fully engage with Dr. Joe’s teachings without interruptions. In addition to listening and participating, you’ll practice multiple meditations each day. This blend of focused learning and regular meditation can genuinely transform your perspective—just as it did for me.

Joe teaches you not to think in lack, because lack means that you are searching in the known instead of opening to possibility. So I remind myself that if I am actively looking for something, it means I feel separated from it and I am not allowing it to manifest. The simplest way to let everything good flow into your life is to focus on joy, excitement, and love, and to trust in the mystery of the unknown. Let it unfold and surprise you, most of these manifestations come in ways you could have never expected. Like a thief in the night! Joe also emphasizes the importance of self-correcting and finding your way back whenever you stray. —because coming back to yourself again and again is, as Joe says, truly a form of greatness.

I have always been someone who loves life, yet this experience broadened my perspective on so many levels. In the first few months I felt immense gratitude and my heart would often overflow with love. Now, about four months later, those feelings still surface unexpectedly and bring warmth to ordinary moments. The beautiful part is that the people around me are changing along with me, each in their own way and at their own pace.

I’ve also noticed that I’ve become more focused, while remaining very relaxed at the same time. My health has improved, and my determination to live a healthier life now feels natural and free of struggle. It all seems so much easier and more effortless now.

I do, however, agree with what Dr. Joe always points out: you truly need to do the inner work every single day. By committing to that practice, I feel increasingly whole and fulfilled with each passing day. My life continues to evolve positively over time, abundance is flowing, and I find myself happier now than I have ever been. I’m also grateful to have met a few amazing new friends there.

So, long story short, yes — for me it was absolutely more than worth it.

A recap of some of Joe's words for inspiration

“WHEN IT'S THE HARDEST IT MATTERS THE MOST”
Meaning; if you feel like you cannot do a meditation because of any of the many reasons you can muster up — continue with the meditation, don't quit. Often the practices that feel most difficult are the very ones that deliver the deepest results. By showing up despite resistance, you teach your body and mind that you are in control, and over time that steady commitment gently reshapes everything.

When we think a thought, the networks of neurons
(that fire at that moment in your brain) create electrical charges.

Feelings create magnetic charges.

The magnetic charges created by our feelings merge together with the electric charges created by our thoughts to produce an electromagnetic field. Meaning that this electromagnetic field you are sending out is equal to your state of being.

The only way we can change our lives is to change our energy, or in other words to change the electromagnetic field that we are constantly broadcasting. In other words we need to change how we think and feel.

What you put attention on and mentally rehearse (over and over again) —> not only becomes who you are from a biological perspective —> it also determines your future.

It is not the gene that creates disease, but
it's the environment that programs our genes that creates disease

Every one of our cells ( except red blood cells) makes proteins
* muscle cells make actin and myosin
* skin cells make collagen and elastin
* immune cells make antibodies
* thyroid cells make thyroxine
* bone-marrow cells make hemoglobin
* some eye cells make keratin
* pancreatic cells make enzymes like protease, lipase and amylase

Stress makes our stress hormone levels, like cortisol, go up. And in doing so it lowers our levels of a protein marker called IgA (immunoglobulin). Which compromises and down-regulates the immune systems.

The quantum or unified field is an invisible field of energy and information that exists beyond space and time.

Everything in our known universe is made up of or emits either light and information or energy and consciousness.

The visible light spectrum (the colors we perceive in this world we live in) make up less than 1 percent of all the frequencies of light that exist.

ENERGY CENTERS

(In yoga often referred to as chakra's, but Joe prefers to call them energy centers - because they are just that ;)

Each energy center can be viewed as an individual center of information.
They each have their own individual glands, their own unique hormones, their own chemistry and their own individual plexus of nerves (mini brains).

And if each one of those centers has its own individual brain <-> they each also have its own individual mind.

The second energy center has been called the second brain —> because of the hundreds of millions of neurons and neural connections (more than exists in either the spinal cord or in the peripheral nervous system).
AND the feel good hormone called serotonin is found for 95% in your bowels and not in your brain!

The sixth energy center is a sacred gland (the pineal gland), also known as the third eye.
It secretes hormones like serotonin and melatonin. And it can produce chemical derivatives of melatonin that change your view of reality. It allows us to travel through time in meditations.

The seventh energy center includes the pituitary gland (hypofyse). This is the master gland. It is where our divinity - our highest level of consciousness originates.
When this gland is in balance we are in harmony with all things.

The eight energy center, KA, is located 40 cm above the head. It is our connection to the cosmos.
When this center is activated you feel worthy to receive. It also opens us up for all sorts of downloads.
