Did you know the human mind runs through anywhere from 6,000 to 60,000 thoughts a day on average? That’s a lot more than any of us can fully process.
No wonder it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. In that blurred space where your thoughts take over, these Dr. Joe Dispenza quotes can help you return to yourself.
A neuroscience expert and researcher, New York Times bestselling author, and meditation lover, Dr. Dispenza has helped thousands rewire the way they think, feel, and heal.
“Your thoughts can make you sick,” reads one of his most popular quotes. “But your thoughts can also make you well.”
His point? When your mind is calm, your love deepens, your healing accelerates, and your life starts to fall into place.
And sometimes, a mindset shift begins with a sentence.
10 best quotes from Dr. Joe Dispenza on love
Let these Dr. Joe Dispenza quotes inspire you to feel love and live from it, the way your system was naturally built to:
- “The brain thinks, but the heart knows.”
- “What would love do?”
- “When you love yourself and all of life, you’ll create an equal. Now you’re causing an effect.”
- “By intentionally choosing to feel the elevated emotions of the heart… You become who you are truly meant to be: a heart-empowered individual.”
- “When compassion becomes unconditionally ordinary and familiar for you, you have progressed from knowledge to experience to wisdom.”
- “Be more in love with your future than your past.”
- “The heart is our creative center, and our heart begins to drive our brain into more alpha patterns… more creative patterns.”
- “When you understand that change really requires becoming uncomfortable to a certain degree, and that’s normal, you’re leaving the known and stepping into the unknown.”
- “The moment we start feeling better about ourselves, we start attracting better experiences into our lives.”
- “The mind and body are intimately connected, and what we think and feel affects every cell in our body.”
Indeed, love can feel complicated when the heart’s been bruised or trust is shaky.
But Dr. Dispenza clearly sees it as a gateway to self-healing, rooted not just in connection but in emotion that rewires the entire system.
To him, this experience is a neurological, biological, and energetic event that shapes how we connect and evolve. When it overtakes you, oh boy… your body’s chemistry and hormones change, your brain-heart pathways stabilize, and your entire system moves from “survival” to “relaxed mode.”

10 Dr. Joe Dispenza quotes on manifestation and the power of the mind
Each one of these quotes inspires you to seize your next level:
- “Where you place your attention is where you place your energy.”
- “To change is to think greater than your environment.”
- “When you believe in yourself, you believe in possibilities.”
- “The quantum field responds not to what we want; it responds to who we are.”
- “If you want a new outcome, you will have to break the habit of being yourself and reinvent a new self.”
- “When a person begins to rehearse who they’re going to be, the brain doesn’t know the difference between what’s happening in the outer world and what’s happening in the inner world.”
- “If you’re not being defined by a vision of the future, then you’re left with the old memories of the past.”
- “When you marry a clear intention with an elevated emotion, you begin to change your biology.”
- “We don’t wait for our healing to feel wholeness. We feel wholeness and then the healing begins.”
- “Thoughts are the language of the brain. Feelings are the language of the body. And how you think and how you feel creates your state of being.”
Here’s the thing: the brain doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and what’s vividly imagined. Feel what your deepest desires are in your bones, and your brain starts firing as if it’s already happening.
That’s the foundation of manifestation, and it’s central to Dr. Dispenza’s work. He teaches people to rehearse their future in the mind until it becomes so familiar, it’s inevitable.
Now, the above are spiritual Dr. Joe Dispenza quotes that tap into the whole process. Some are from his bestselling books. Others were spoken live at Mindvalley’s recent Manifesting Summit 2025.
His core ethos? Stop waiting… and start becoming what you’ve always known is possible.
10 Dr. Joe Dispenza quotes on changing beliefs and habits

- “If you want a new outcome, you will have to break the habit of being yourself and reinvent a new self.”
- “By itself, conscious positive thinking cannot overcome subconscious negative feelings.”
- “You can’t think greater than how you feel. Change how you feel, and your thoughts follow.”
- “When you make a different choice, you step into a new future. And you do it by thought.”
- “Your subconscious programs are driving 95% of your life. You can’t think your way out; you have to become someone else.”
- “Most people are addicted to the familiar, even when the familiar is pain. And they’ll keep choosing it until the body unlearns the emotion.”
- “Change doesn’t take time. It takes a decision. Time is how long you delay that decision.”
- “Your personality creates your personal reality. Change your personality, and your reality shifts.”
- “Most people try to create a new reality with the same personality. And it doesn’t work.”

You know, the way you tend to shut down when challenged. Or saying “yes” when you mean “no.” Or skipping the spiritual classes you said you’d go to.
See, these duck-outs seem small, but they can quietly script the story you end up living.
Thankfully, Dr. Joe Dispenza says nothing’s fixed.
Want change? Start by catching the loop once, then choose differently. It’ll feel awkward at first. But over time, you’ll get the hang of it.

10 Dr. Joe Dispenza quotes on the power of gratitude
These reminders on gratitude can lift you out of the sticky “scarcity mindset” rut:
- “The moment you start feeling whole, your healing begins.”
- “Can you give thanks and feel the elevated emotions associated with a desired event before it occurs? Can you imagine that reality so completely that you begin to be in that future life now?”
- “The emotion is the handmaiden to the creative process. That means you’d have to feel whole before your healing… to feel abundance before your wealth.”
- “By feeling and practicing gratitude in your waking day, you’re in a state to receive.”
- “We are who we practice to be. So if you practice gratitude, you’ll be grateful.”
- “The more we can feel gratitude for what we already have, the more we open ourselves up to receive even more.”
- “When you appreciate the little things, you’re usually a lot more open to good stuff flowing your way.”
- “If you bring up the emotion of gratitude before the actual event, your body will begin to believe that the future event has indeed already happened—or is happening to you in the present moment.”
- “The moment you feel gratitude, your healing begins.”
- “Gratitude becomes the emotional signature that it’s already happened.”
Here’s where Dr. Dispenza would tell you to embrace the “glass half full” perspective.
Because amidst the everyday chaos, it’s easy to forget what you have: a body that breathes, a mind that imagines, and a moment you can still change.
But he says feeling gratitude before that big “thing” arrives helps your body believe it’s already here. And that belief? It rewires everything, from your nervous system to your reality.
In the end, when you’re thankful for what you have, you’re setting yourself up for receiving more from the universe.

- “The mind and body are intimately connected, and what we think and feel affects every cell in our body.”
- “The moment you start feeling whole, your healing begins.”
- “All healings happen in the heart.”
- “Health and wellness can be as infectious as disease.”
- “If you could just trade fear and frustration and resentment and suffering for an elevated emotion, and truly open your heart and practice doing that, it will heal.”
- “The emotion is the handmaiden to the creative process. That means you’d have to feel whole before your healing… to feel abundance before your wealth.”
- “When you change your energy, you change your life.”
- “We are not doomed by our genes. We’re not hardwired to be a certain way for the rest of our lives. We are marvels of adaptability and change.”
- “Our life begins to change when we change our energy, and we begin to take our power back.”
- “The hardest part is to teach our body, emotionally, what the future will feel like ahead of the actual experience.”
Dr. Dispenza knows that healing doesn’t always start in a doctor’s office. Sometimes it starts with small signals.
Like when your breath shortens when a message pops up, your stomach flips before a tough conversation, or your jaw aches from being clenched too long. These subtle patterns are signals that your system is out of sync and ready to heal.
His bottom line for healing: Tweak your emotions, and your chemistry will shift accordingly, too. The basis of this is neuroplasticity, a.k.a. your brain’s inherent ability to adapt.
Expand your consciousness
