Becoming Supernatural – Joe Dispenza

Dr. Joe Dispenza, a chiropractor, author and lecturer known for his workshops on meditation and personal transformation, believes that ordinary people have the potential to change their lives and even their health in extraordinary ways. In Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon, he presents the ideas and practices behind his approach.

Dispenza draws on concepts from neuroscience, epigenetics, psychology and quantum physics, as interpreted in his work, along with spiritual traditions, to argue that by changing our thoughts, emotions and states of mind, we can alter our brains and bodies and access higher levels of consciousness. He explains his views on topics such as the power of the present moment, the relationship between energy and matter, heart coherence, the pineal gland, mystical experiences and what he calls the generous present moment.

The book includes guided meditation practices that readers can use, and shares stories from participants in his workshops who report experiences of healing, transformation and mystical insight. Dispenza also describes measurements taken during his events, which he presents as evidence for his ideas.

The book has attracted a large following, but many of its scientific claims, particularly its use of quantum physics and its interpretations of research, are not supported by mainstream science and have been criticized by scientists.

Becoming Supernatural will interest readers drawn to meditation, spirituality and personal transformation. It is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment, and readers with health conditions should continue to work with qualified health professionals.
