Dr. Joe Dispenza just shared an incredible testimonial about a woman named Angelia, and her story of self-healing is nothing short of fascinating.
As you read on, you’ll see how she cultivated the elevated emotion of gratitude to transform her health completely.
After contracting COVID, Angelia was diagnosed with several “incurable” conditions, according to her doctors. Her health spiraled… She experienced severe brain fog and double vision and became so debilitated she couldn’t work or even leave her bed.
But instead of giving up, Angelia discovered Dr. Joe’s work and knew she had to learn more. The problem? She was too ill to read or focus for long periods. So, she began listening to his audios - a little at a time - absorbing the information at a pace her body could handle.
Many people might have given up under such circumstances, but not Angelia. She latched onto one key insight: To heal her body, she needed to cultivate elevated emotions like gratitude.
Angelia began transforming her thoughts and feelings with what she called “little tricks.” For example:
-
When she drank a simple glass of water, she’d tell herself, “Look at this glass of water—it’s an offering to life!” And she’d feel gratitude for it.
-
At the end of the day, as she laid her head on her pillow, she’d say, “This is the softest pillow!” and let herself feel thankful for that small comfort.
She realized that in order to heal, she needed to change - not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. That change started with practicing and sustaining elevated emotions, regardless of how her body felt.
Here’s the powerful takeaway: Angelia understood that when we feel elevated emotions like gratitude, we can signal our genes ahead of our environment.
She wasn’t waiting for her healing to happen before she felt grateful - she chose gratitude first, knowing it could lead to her healing.
I’m sharing Angelia’s story with you because, these days, we hear about the importance of gratitude so often that it can start to feel like a cliché. But the truth is, gratitude is far more than just a feel-good concept - it’s a transformative force with the power to profoundly change our lives.
One of the most transformative moments in my life came when I made gratitude a daily practice. At first, it was simple: writing down three things I was thankful for every morning. But over time, this small act shifted my entire outlook on life.
I stopped focusing on what was missing and started seeing the beauty in what was already there. It brought me a sense of peace and clarity I hadn’t experienced before and completely transformed how I approached challenges.
One of my favorite gratitude rituals involves pairing it with meditation. I take a few deep breaths, close my eyes, and bring to mind one thing I’m grateful for. I allow myself to feel the full weight of that appreciation—it’s like my heart fills up with light. This small, daily practice has been a game-changer for my mindset.
Let’s try something together:
-
Take a deep breath in…and out.
-
Now, bring to mind one thing you’re deeply grateful for—it could be a person, an experience, or even something small, like your morning coffee.
-
Close your eyes, and allow yourself to feel that appreciation fully. Notice how it softens your body and lifts your mood.
This exercise is simple but powerful. Imagine how your life could change if you practiced this every day!
Imagine waking up feeling elevated emotions like joy, love, and gratitude, instead of fear, anger, shame, or resentment by only practicing this quick exercise every morning.
The truth is that we all have the power to transform our lives, our bodies, and our habits, but it requires being intentional with our thoughts every single day.
Now I know that staying in a state of gratitude isn’t always easy, especially when life feels overwhelming. That’s why I’ve created a 3-part system packed with guided meditations, mantras, mind movies, and journaling prompts to help you access this state faster and more effectively.
This toolkit is designed to rewire your mindset and help you anchor in gratitude, even on the toughest days.
If you’re interested in trying it out, go here and I’ll make it a 2x1 deal as a way to say Thank YOU. Go here to get it now.
And remember…
Change doesn’t happen overnight; it’s built through consistency and determination, just like Angelia did.
So this Thanksgiving season, I invite you to make gratitude a daily practice. Let it become a cornerstone of your life and watch how it shifts your perspective, your emotions, and your possibilities.
