Shadowing Practice: The 16 Minutes That Will Rewire Your Brain Forever | Joe Dispenza Motivation - Learn English Speaking with Video

I'm going to begin to change when I begin to think differently, when I begin to act differently, and I begin to feel differently.

Now, theoretically, it sounds easy,

but there's no other alternative unless you rely on something outside of you to change your internal state.

So the act of changing from one state of mind and body to another state of mind and body, and priming your brain

and body to have the the the biology the circuitry the chemistry in place

if you keep doing it you'll begin to choose to think

that way more often choose to act that way more often choose to feel

that way more often and i think that

that process is uh it takes a little bit of time

and but if you keep doing it um yeah people change all the time thought and feeling an image and emotion,

a stimulus and response, and you're conditioning the body emotionally into the familiar past.

And the body is so objective, as I said, it doesn't know the difference between the real life experience and the one that you're imagining.

The body is actually believing it's living in the environment where that problem is actually existing in the present moment.

So that becomes the familiar past, and we call that the known.

Some people get up and rush through a series of automatic routine behaviors.

They are on automatic pilot because they do the same thing today as they did yesterday.

And the habit is a redundant set of automatic unconscious thoughts, behaviors and emotions that is acquired through repetition.

So now the person is in habituation, a program, and their body is dragging them into the same predictable future based on what they did in their past.

In other words, we can take it yesterday

and set it on there tomorrow and there's going to be a lot of predictability.

So if you can predict something then that's the known too.

So the familiar past is the known, the predictable future is the known.

There's only one place left where the unknown exists and that's the sweet spot of the generous present moment.

And so we teach people how to master the moment, how to master their attention.

And where you place your attention is where you place your energy.

and paying attention is being present.

And you know when someone's paying attention to you because

they're present with you and you know when they're present with you because they're paying attention to you.

Well, it's the exact same thing.

So you're sitting with your eyes closed and you start thinking how long is this going to go?

I've got a lot of things to do.

Oh God, I've got to think about that place I've got to go to and meet that person.

I've got another meeting over there.

And now your brain is actually defaulting and going to that predictable future.

We discovered that you're not a bad meditator actually at all.

This is actually how you do meditate.

You become conscious that you've gone unconscious in your predictable future and you return your attention back to the present moment.

That's a victory.

Yeah, I think that most people get so used to feeling a certain way

that they don't think on any other level they can feel a different way unless there's crisis

or trauma or disease or diagnosis, when there's betrayal, when there's loss,

when there's something that happens that all of a sudden the feeling changes so much that nothing's making that feeling go away.

And the moment you don't feel like yourself any longer, you can really see yourself really clearly through the eyes of someone else.

And in our science that's called metacognition, to be able to become conscious of our unconscious self, so conscious that we don't go unconscious in our waking day.

That's how people change, you know?

So The stronger the emotion we feel from some challenge or problem in our life, the more altered we are inside of us.

Some event occurs and our chemistry changes.

The moment there's a dramatic change in our chemistry, that's the moment the brain freezes a frame and takes a picture, takes a snapshot and that's the memory that's embossed in the brain.

What the person doesn't know is that the arousal of those chemicals, giving the body a rush of energy to be more alert and be more aware.

They keep reviewing the problem 50 to 100 times, ruminating over the problem again.

And they're producing the same chemistry over and over again to the body and

the body in a sense is getting a rush by thought alone.

So now it becomes addicted to its own thoughts, right?

This gets really kind of wild because you're not aware that you're doing that, but you're giving your body energy and so,

so the side effect of it then is the body is dependent on that thought.

In fact, If you reasoned with me and you said I really don't like to suffer

I don't really like to feel like a victim.

I don't want to feel unworthy.

I want to change that And everybody goes with their conscious mind.

Yay, let's change it.

And so you say okay Well, if I'm suffering and I'm you know in pain and I'm a victim Well victims what are their behaviors?

Oh, well they complain They make excuses.

They judge other people.

They feel sorry for themselves themselves, they need a lot of attention, I don't know, I'm making stuff up.

But that could be a behavior that goes along with a person who suffers and feels unhappy most of the time.

And what are the thoughts that you think?

Alright, so you could be really really ambitious and say I'm gonna just stop today and

the first couple hours goes by really well, but as you see the same people and you go to the same places

and do the exact same thing at the exact same time in your life, It's no longer that your personality is creating your personal reality.

Your personal reality is reminding you of who you are as a personality.

The environment is regulating and controlling the way you think.

If you broaden your focus and you begin to focus on space,

on nothing, the act of sensing space and no longer thinking and sensing and feeling space

causes those different compartments that were firing incoherently out of order, they begin to synchronize.

Those modules begin to form and connect with one another and larger real estates, a part of the brain begins to begin to fire more coherently.

Brain begins to synchronize and what sinks in the brain links in the brain and we have fMRI studies on this.

We have a lot of quantitative EEG studies on this.

It doesn't matter how old you are, how young you are, what your gender, what you eat, where you're from, your socioeconomic status.

None of those elements matter.

That when you when you do this properly, the brain begins to function more coherently and more organized.

And when that happens, the brain gets highly creative.

It gets it you're processing a different level of consciousness, a more holistic level of consciousness.

So that's called intention.

The person all of a sudden

can begin to imagine a future because they've moved from that survival state into a more creative state.

At the same time when they do

that you kind of see this psychic union going on between these two hemispheres

and modulation goes down which means the brain's firing more holistically, the compartments are no longer divided, they're more unified. When that occurs,

the person's starting to feel more like themselves like oh my

god I forgot like this feels really great at the same

time we see this kind of cooperation with the heart like

the heart all of a sudden begins to bloom it starts to become very coherent as well

because when we're living in stress and we're living in survival

and a person's distracted and they have kids and obligations

and meetings and and they're fragmented like that the arousal of those stress hormones the person's not running,

exerting themselves running, they're not fighting and they're not fleeing and hiding.

This adrenaline is causing the person to step on the gas

and step on the brake at the same time and the heart is beating against the closed system, right?

So the heart starts to beat out of order and when it becomes incoherent,

100

incoherent waves cancel each other out and energy leaves the heart and you stop trusting, you stop connecting, you stop communicating,

101

you stop being creative, the heart is the creative center.

102

So when the brain gets highly organized

103

and synchronized you see this kind of energy move right into the heart

104

and the heart is the creative center at the same time

105

it resets the baseline for the trauma we've seen beautiful brain

106

scans on this the heart begins to beat like a great drum very coherently very orderly

107

and it tells the brain to get creative and all of a sudden like grabbing a big sheet and going like this.

108

It sends a wave of energy right to the brain and the brain moves into alpha.

109

The first step is changing your physiology.

110

I think there's levels of gratitude that you could feel

111

but you have to stop feeling other things first in order to feel it.

112

So it's not grat...

113

I don't think it's enough and I'm just saying this for myself.

114

It's not enough for me to feel gratitude for five minutes and then spend the rest of my day feeling miserable.

115

That's not why I'm doing it.

116

I'm doing it to sustain that state for an extended period of time.

117

I want to get really good at doing it with my eyes open.

118

So I believe that if I'm walking around in a state of gratitude with my eyes open

119

and I can sustain that state for an extended period of time, there should be there should be opportunities coming to me as a result of my change in energy, right?

120

So I make the effort in the experiment, okay, because this is an experiment.

121

I make the effort in the experiment that if I can stay in this great state of gratitude,

122

that I should see something unusual come to me as a result of it.

123

That's why I do it.

124

So that means that you have to, we're hypnotized and we're conditioned to believe

125

that something out there has to change in order to take

126

away the lack of separation of not having it inside of me.

127

Gratitude kind of fills that lack and so if you're not waiting for your life to change to feel that emotion,

128

you're actually saying if I generate gratitude, I actually heal.

129

If I generate gratitude, I should create this in my life.

130

So I just like to use it in a way

131

that tends to be more creative and not just be grateful for the things that I have.

132

I think that has a lot of great biological effects, but as the creator in your life to shorten the distance

133

between the thought of what you want and the experience of having it without having to do a whole lot, I think gratitude is that perfect state of receivership.

134

The visible field of energy that people enter into, we call it getting beyond themselves, is that is the now, that is the present moment, the generous present moment.

135

I've worked for years to get people to this point and now when they cross that bridge

136

and they enter that vacuum energy, that void, the absolute, pure consciousness, pure love, all potentials, source,

137

zero point field, whatever you want to call it, loving intelligence, intelligent love, whatever you want to call it in universal mind,

138

if they understand what they're doing and why they're doing is pure consciousness there

139

and they can create a disturbance in the field and it's the field that creates matter, if they can change the information in the field,

140

Could they change their experience some experience in three-dimensional reality and the closer they get to the source?

141

The less separation between two points of consciousness of them as pure consciousness and connected to pure consciousness

142

The closer they are to it There's less separation between two

143

points of consciousness the less amount of time it should appear in three-dimensional reality That's the experiment right?

144

So then getting to that point

145

where you have to go against thousands and thousands and thousands of years of generations untold of programming and survival.

146

Because when you're in survival, all your attention is on your body, your environment and time.

147

And to change is to be greater than your body, to be greater than your environment and to be greater than time.

148

Which means when we're in stress and we're in survival, it's not a time to change.

149

In fact, it's really hard to change when you're living in survival.

150

It's time to run, fight and hide and trust your primitive instincts, which says that do not close your eyes and go within.

151

You would be eaten we work with prisoners

152

in latin american countries thousands of them you wouldn't believe how

153

long it takes some of these people to be able to close their eyes they just would they just

154

which is they will tell you i'm sure i'd love to

155

but their body's saying do not it's come it's coming don't don't don't get vulnerable right

156

so so then we have to lay down a lot of things we did our whole life

157

to get what we want for something greater to occur you know because the world changes

158

in that realm called time space um we can't execute uh thinking

159

that we're a body there we're not you know

160

so learning how to surrender into this process uh takes uh practice it's a continuous process

161

and they know how to work with their body

162

and like training an animal they bring the body back into the present moment

163

because the moment they're feeling

164

that emotion the body's in the past they oh my god

165

i'm going into the past the agitation is turning on the

166

stress hormones i'm going to go into high beta i gotta

167

settle the body down i gotta tell it's no longer the mind

168

and when you when you do

169

that you tell the body it's no longer the mind you settle it into the present moment

170

it liberates a little bit of energy then it gets a little agitated again

171

and it gets a little frustrated again and then it starts getting impatient

172

and you're not going to give up

173

and you work with the body again you settle it down

174

again you bring it back into the present moment it's tedious in the beginning

175

but like training an animal body is the animal sooner

176

or later it's going to surrender to a new mind and when it finally does there's a huge liberation of energy

177

Now the person literally taken that emotion they've gone from particle to wave from matter

178

and energy that the Information that's stored in the body is being released as energy

179

and now the person doesn't have to try to be more patient They've kind of

180

Cultivated patience by not letting the body be the mind by the same means

181

If you're in the habit of picking up your cell phone

182

Every five minutes and scrolling through it and you're in a meditation

183

or you're busy

184

and you got a lot of things to do you're sitting in the meditation you want to get up

185

and you want to go and do something you notice your body doing

186

that most people say i can't meditate i'm just going to quit

187

if you really want it

188

if you really want change you got to execute a will

189

that's greater than the program you're going to bring the body back out of

190

that predictable future into the present moment and like an unbridled stallion it'll buck

191

and kick it'll do everything it can you just keep bringing it back to the present moment sooner

192

or later it's going to surrender to a new mind

193

and now the person's going to liberate energy because the present moment is the unknown.

194

The familiar past of feeling certain emotions and certain memories, that's the known.

195

Living in a predictable future, you know, where you're always busy, you got things to do and people to see and places to go, that's the predictable future.

196

If you can predict it, it's known, right?

197

So if you can settle into the present moment and teach the body to relax into the unknown without

198

it being a scary place.

199

When you can relax into the unknown like that, the body finally surrenders and it's free.

200

Now the person is ready to create something new.

201

Now, so if you're going to really want to begin to make measurable changes in your life

202

because you want to heal from your condition or disease, then you can't be resentful around your ex.

203

And so you're gonna have to figure out a way how you're gonna have to act, what would love do, what would greatness look like, how am How am I going to overcome this?

204

And how am I going to behave in this circumstance?

205

Because the one hour of my good meditation where I felt great

206

and in my heart and connected and coherent in my brain, and then the rest of the day I'm frustrated and impatient.

207

Okay, I've got to figure this out.

208

So I'm feeling better.

209

I'm sleeping better.

210

I have more energy.

211

I have less pain, but my values are still the same.

212

Okay, one hour against 15 hours?

213

I gotta, I gotta get, I gotta cut rehearsing so I could actually get in the game

214

so that I'm not going to fall and return back to the default of that old personality because I'm not gonna heal.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
