You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter

of those beliefs you’ve been harboring without realizing it. You’ll also read about how the environment and your associative memories can sabotage your ability to change your beliefs.
I’ll explain more fully that in order for you to change your beliefs and perceptions, you must combine a clear intention with an elevated emotion that conditions your body to believe that the future potential that you selected from the quantum field has already happened. The elevated emotion is vital, because only when your choice carries an amplitude of energy that’s greater than the hardwired programs in your brain and the emotional addiction in your body will you be able to change your brain’s circuitry and your body’s genetic expression, as well as recondition your body to anew mind (erasing any trace of the old neurocircuitry and conditioning).

, I’ll introduce you to the quantum universe, the unpredictable world of the matter and energy that makeup the atoms and molecules of everything in the universe, which turnout to really be more energy (which looks like empty space) than solid matter. The quantum model, which states that all possibilities exist in this present moment, is your key to using the placebo effect for healing, because it gives you permission to choose anew future for yourself and actually

Chapter 9
introduces you to three people from my workshops who have reported some truly remarkable results from using these same techniques to change their health for the better. First, you’ll meet Laurie,
who, at age 19, was diagnosed with a rare degenerative bone disease that her doctors told her was incurable. Although the bones in Laurie’s left leg and hip suffered 12 major fractures over several decades, leaving her dependent on crutches forgetting around, today she walks perfectly normally, without even needing a cane. Her x-rays show no evidence of any fractures in her bones.
Then I’ll introduce you to Candace, who was diagnosed with
Hashimoto’s disease—a serious thyroid condition with a host of complications—during a time in her life when she was resentful and full of rage. Candace’s doctor told her she’d have to take medication for the rest of her life, but she proved him wrong after she eventually was able to turn her condition around. Today, Candace is totally in love with a brand- new life and takes no medication for her thyroid, which blood tests show is completely normal.
Finally, you’ll meet Joann (the woman mentioned in the Preface, a mother of five who was a successful businesswoman and entrepreneur

whom many considered a superwoman—before she collapsed quite suddenly and was diagnosed with an advanced form of multiple sclerosis.
Joann’s condition went downhill quickly, and she was eventually unable to move her legs. When she first came to my workshops, she made only small changes—until one day when the woman who hadn’t moved her legs in years walked around the room, completely unassisted, after just one hour-long meditation!
