I have a question about the episode #276: How to Intentionally Create a New Reality with Dr Joe Dispenza and this Creating Lasting Happiness. Moreover, only after a consistent practice, when the brain has started to embrace the new thought—seeing the person as a famous singer—would they be able to feel those emotions of joy, happiness, and gratitude? Is it also possible to feel some of these positive emotions in the early stages while engaging in neuroplasticity, even amidst feelings of anxiety and frustration? Can one experience both positive and negative feelings simultaneously in the beginning?
Tell me about the psychology of happiness
If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, then if a person works to change their physiological response immediately after being triggered, would that over time also diminish the physiological response and therefore break the conditioning? Am I right? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider, but every time they see the spider or get activated through some trigger, they immediately use breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something?
