The Damage Was Permanent – Until She Started Meditating
Leah, a healthcare provider, discovered her calf muscle had been carved away with testing showing a dead nerve and muscle turned to fat that was considered irreversible. After a year and a half of daily practice, she applied her medical knowledge to visualize the anatomical structure of her leg in extraordinary detail, imagining nerves reconnecting with fiber optic gold cords and rebuilding muscle architecture down to the myofibrils and mitochondria. During a group meditation at a women's weekend, a speaker announced 'connection successful' as she felt the nerve activate and muscle begin twitching, and her doctor later confirmed via ultrasound that the muscle was remarkably growing back.

Ray was diagnosed with full metastatic malignant melanoma and given 3 to 5 years to live, enduring months of chemotherapy that left him weak and disoriented while battling military-grade PTSD. After discovering Dr. Joe's work, he committed to 2-3 daily meditations for 12 months, focusing on the blessing of the energy centers, studying Evolve Your Brain and You Are the Placebo.

Her Connection to Love Healed Her Son
Gave birth during COVID pandemic in Slovenia with 7+ hours laboring alone due to hospital chaos and protective gear protocols, baby got stuck requiring emergency cesarean. Two days later second doctor discovered baby had severe brain bleeding in striato midbrain and basal ganglia from burst veins, required drainage surgery while awake which resulted in skin bacteria infection threatening survival. Baby developed cerebral palsy and infantile spasms epilepsy requiring 7 months isolation on corticosteroids, later had worsening seizures requiring frequent helicopter/ambulance hospital trips with narcosis and seven different anti-epileptic medications. Discovered Dr. Joe's work everywhere after reaching breaking point, initially resistant to meditation preferring extreme activities, had four days with babysitter and meditated until feeling positive emotion, experienced mystical encounters with divine love healing her body (lungs, reproductive issues). Applied for coherence healing via Zoom with five sessions, son Anu progressively improved - now walking almost running, speaking short sentences, playing with other children, healthy and happy, hasn't been to hospital for whole year, vision improved (no more nystagmus or crossed eyes).
By Regulating Herself, She Helped Her Daughter Heal
Two years ago, daughter Isabelle (now 5) was facing severe health challenges—hyperactive, not sleeping at all during nights, getting a little aggressive, had no eye contact, was nonverbal, really close to autism diagnosis. Went to different doctors with some saying "this is normal" and others saying "be prepared because maybe this is getting worse"—was really difficult to have a day in peace with her. Through research, discovered daughter needed a huge change in lifestyle and diet, which was a huge challenge for the entire family since they worked 10-12 hours per day and couldn't be in charge, getting desperate. Started Dr. Joe's meditations to regulate their nervous system and felt better, started asking God/divine for signs, and the first miracle was a massive layoff at the NGO where they worked—suddenly had time to take care of daughter, start cooking, be more present, and start healing her. Wondered if there was help for autistic kids in Dr. Joe's community, found remote coherence healing for autistic kids, signed up, waited 5-6 months, got the call and was super happy—this gave them some changes. Continued watching transformation stories, found moms who saw big transformations in their kids' lives, realized they needed to attend a retreat but had no job or income and couldn't afford it. One of these moms mentioned Give to Give Foundation, which enabled them to attend Cancun June 2024 retreat. Since they have Hashimoto's disease, received 3 coherence healings during retreat, and then the magic/miracle happened—when back at home after the third healing, daughter Isabelle finally started to speak, started to feel more quiet, sleep better, have more quality of life. Almost a year later, daughter is getting better every day, speaking and talking more and more, definitely changing their lives. They do the work every day (meditations morning and night), sometimes receiving downloads of information for daughter—in one meditation saw a beautiful horse eye, eventually understood it was related to horse therapy, found a place that heals using the power of the horse's heart and HeartMath Institute principles (beautiful synchronicity with what they're doing daily). Now more connected, feeling more happy and empowered as a family, sharing story for moms who might be desperate, lonely, and depressed like they used to be—"I know it's a lonely road, but you can make it. This is a beautiful gift of the divine."
She Changed Her Thoughts – and Walked Into a New Reality
A person woke up paralyzed overnight 10 months ago, unable to walk, move, or care for themselves, needing to be fed and washed, fully conscious but trapped in their body. Medical professionals told them recovery would take months to 1-2 years to get back on their feet. A nurse introduced them to Dr. Joe's work, and during their hospital stay they watched Dr. Joe's videos day in and day out, practicing visualization and meditation every day. They changed their thought patterns from "I'm dependent on other people, their help, their opinions" to deciding "it's my decision how this is going and how it's going to change," which helped them act differently and wake up every morning full of energy telling themselves "this is a new day, a new chance for a new step." They were imagining themselves walking again, visualizing how it feels to jump, walk, and eat on their own. One day they made the clear decision to leave the hospital on their own, and 4 months after diagnosis and paralysis, they walked out of the hospital independently, defying the medical prognosis of years of recovery.
Surgery Was Her Only Option – Until Synchronicity Changed Everything
Between ages 17 and 28 lost 14 people in life including family members, friends, and three fiances. Had amazing mystical experiences during that time and also lot of trauma, sat in depression for over 40 years. Tried Buddhism, Hinduism, Shamanism, all helped but none broke through depression. Started Dr. Joe's work in 2016, about year ago depression totally lifted and has not come back. Couple weeks ago doing Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself study group, Dr. Joe asked what do you want, realized deepest desire was to get back the love she had with man who died. Grief burst open, heard voice ask do you really want him back, realized she wanted that love back. In Alchemist meditation tapped into frequency that will transmute life, realized that love energy in field is still there, it never dies, just need to tap into it. Changed her brain, her thinking, her way of looking at life and men.
She Healed Decades of Depression By Trusting the Unknown
Woman experienced sadness as long as she could remember, not from disease but emotional disease, always depressed despite loving life and family, went through unhappy marriage thinking she should just be good girl, had low self-esteem and was overweight. Tried psychologists 3-4 times, coaching, books, spiritual practices but still unhappy until sister gave her Dr. Joe's book which clicked, realized she was playing victim and was addicted to sadness, body so used to it she would look for opportunity or comment or movie to start feeling miserable. Started rewired training, listened to all podcasts and YouTubes, noticed she was putting herself in same situations, practiced walking meditation and deep breathing, initially felt nauseous, dizzy, nervous as body chemistry changed, but kept trying until started feeling happy without thinking about it. Healed from what she calls "spiritual cancer" of decades of depression and sadness, made big life changes leaving everything behind, now looking forward to sharing testimonial with others.
She Chose to Live Differently – and Cleared Cervical Cancer
A Norwegian intensive care nurse and HR director diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer in 2022 (with three children ages 10, 11, and 13) underwent chemotherapy that made her extremely sick with multiple sepsis hospitalizations, and the cancer grew despite treatment, followed by radiation that left her with severe sepsis in January 2023 where she thought she was dying but woke up the next morning with renewed determination, telling doctors "being here is making me sick." Despite starting immunotherapy and suffering severe neck pain, numbness in hands, radiation damage, chronic severe fatigue where she'd fall asleep in conversations, walking problems, and almost no short-term memory, doctors told her to just "drink wine, eat chips and watch Netflix" in her last months, but she felt there had to be more. On September 4, 2023, after receiving a meditation link from a friend, she started Dr. Joe's meditations daily, and within only four weeks her sister-in-law noticed she was almost back to her old self, with neck pain nearly gone, able to walk stairs, energy returning, and memory improving. The cancer was stable for a year (doctors amazed she was still there and looking better each visit), and in September 2024 when doctors told her the cancer increased to her lungs and wanted to give chemotherapy, she refused, reprogrammed herself in the mirror saying "they're not talking about you, this is not you," attended a 10-day Cancun retreat where she had four magical healing sessions with her whole body vibrating and dissolving into the floor as nobody, nowhere, no time. One week before returning for an advanced retreat, her CT scan results showed the doctor couldn't explain it but almost everything was either gone or reduced by 50%, nothing in her lungs, and it didn't even look like there had been anything in her lungs, all while being off immunotherapy since September 16th of the previous year.
She Changed Boxes – and Healed Her Skin
A woman who started Dr. Joe's work in 2019 had a very large mole near her ear that kept growing bigger, causing such worry and self-consciousness that she always wore her hair down to cover it, avoided facials, never told her husband (though he knew), and feared having to see a doctor. In August of the previous year, she began the 20-minute Changing Boxes meditation, understanding that as she got into the new box she was looking through different eyes. When a scab on her leg from a fall kept falling off, she thought her mole looked similar and perhaps it would fall off too. Over approximately 4 weeks, the mole gradually fell off just like a scab, completely disappearing and allowing her to finally wear her hair up with confidence.
Years of Guilt and Shame Transformed Into Love
Woman carried shame and guilt for 20 years after abortion, felt unworthy to live, hoped not to wake up each morning but terrified when she did, lived in survival mode fighting everything. After 10 years knew couldn't continue but felt unable to take own life due to guilt or live as she was, began healing journey. First week-long retreat in Vienna initially resistant, hated the work, wanted to go home, phoned husband who agreed but decided to stay all-in and asked God for a sign. Walking meditation discovered huge cross in park confirming to continue, during meditation felt nothing in first center at first, then experienced massive love, heart opened completely, whole body on fire with indescribable love. Second meditation daughter appeared sending more love, confirmed she is loved by God, shame and guilt vanished completely. Now wakes with love every day, starts with love, unrecognizable to others, received new life through self-love enabling her to love her life.
She Chose a New Life – and Found Peace After Abuse
A woman in an abusive marriage for about 20 years knew walking out would be a hard choice but didn't expect the divorce process itself to be equally abusive, by which time she'd been doing Joe's work for 2 years and knew what she wanted to create but the external environment was so harsh she struggled to maintain her state constantly. Her PTSD and anxiety became so bad she developed panic attacks at work forcing her to stop working, desperately searching testimonials for someone who survived an abusive marriage and contentious divorce while doing meditations daily. At the 2019 retreat when Joe talked about changing boxes, something clicked - she could change her box, deciding she wanted the box of peace, love, kindness, joy and bliss instead of where she was, with peace being all she sought through her marriage and divorce. Not working and having time, she did 2-3 meditations daily, listened to testimonials constantly, stayed in that state reminding herself "I'm going to create the peace" for 3 years until the divorce finalized. She walked away in complete disbelief getting more than her wildest dreams when she didn't know if she'd survive or walk out alive from such a dark place, now thriving in a beautiful life with daily gratitude, sharing her story so others know "it's possible, I did it, you can too."
He Let Go of Fear – And Gained a Life of Abundance and Ease
In 2023, while helping parents with medical issues and ending a relationship, he experienced daily panic attacks and anxiety for weeks, struggling with an abundance ceiling despite never having money problems, and noticed he approached all investments with a defeatist mindset knowing they would fail. At Orlando week-long event, during mindful heart/heartful mind walking meditation, his "new self" appeared, put an arm around him saying "I've got you, you can relax now," and entered his body, opening his heart completely for the first time and showing him what normal should feel like instead of constant hypervigilance. His entire office floor reorganized and he became fully remote, enabling unlimited travel to seven retreats in 14 months, and he's building a tech startup where solutions come effortlessly in meditation, with more money than needed appearing constantly.
She Left Her Old Identity Behind – and Healed Her Hearing
At age 3, Maria had meningitis and lost hearing on the left side, becoming single-sided deaf when her auditory nerve died, along with balance problems. Her whole reality functioned around hearing only on one side—she was nearly put in special ed but refused because she never wanted to be different, learning to lip read and strategically always sitting on the right side, inventing reasons not to sit in the middle. She hid this disability her entire life, lying on applications saying she had no hidden disabilities, overachieving to prove she was "good enough." In open offices she couldn't tell where sound was coming from, would pick up phones saying "hello, hello" when no one was there, and when people spoke from her left side she would invent her own conversation with them while they had a completely different one. After attending Marco Island and hearing about others healing, a friend suggested she try to heal her ear, but she thought "I'm single-sided deaf, the nerve is dead, there's nothing you can do—punto, that's it." At the third event, after seeing someone cure cancer, something clicked—"if people are doing all these great things, why can't I recreate my nerve? I'm a mother, I gave birth, I have a lot of energy in this body." She decided she wanted to hear her daughter's voice from both sides and to experience stereo sound. For a year before her next event, she reconstructed her auditory nerve in meditation over and over, researching how hearing works. After her second coherence healing at the AFU in Marco Island, during the walking meditation she put on headphones and started feeling vibrations and sensations in her left ear for the first time in 40 years. In her final healing, her body turned into a garden, her heart became a lotus flower, a baby clove came out of her ear, and a being told her "now you have to water your garden." She continued reconstructing her nerve for one month, then went to the best ear doctor in Panama who tested her—5 out of 11 tones tested positive (before it was completely flat/zero for 40 years). The doctor was flabbergasted, saying the nerve is definitely not dead and active, though he claimed her brain had been "repurposed" for 40 years and wouldn't know how to hear. She said "I'm going to teach my brain myself," and now she can hear from both sides and finally understands what stereo is.
She Let Go of Pain – and Reclaimed Strength from Muscular Dystrophy
Diagnosed at age 17 with FSHD muscular dystrophy, started in lower abs then progressed over years to ankles, legs, hips causing everything to shift, main problem in shoulders preventing lifting arms above head. Mother found Dr. Joe Dispenza and started meditations, couple months ago started practicing his meditations, attended week-long retreat now on day six. During 4am meditation, body started shaking uncontrollably and convulsing, felt conscious but not in control, shaking went to areas of body that remembered limitations (shoulders, legs), started slow then got super fast beyond ability to replicate, sensed figure saying "trust your body." Feeling lighter than ever, body was super heavy before but now feels free, two days ago ran for first time in years (can't remember when last ran), walking speed progressing from very short slow walk to fast walking, healing progressing from bottom up starting at ankles (got strong, no more swaying with eyes closed), now at shoulder blades with arms able to lift, emotions shifted from unrecognized unworthiness, heaviness, and pain to feeling light, free, and worthy.
She Helped Her Father Heal – And Transformed Her Own Life
Her father was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a very rare autoimmune disease affecting one in a million people in India, where the immune system attacks the myelin sheath around nerves, causing paralysis that starts in the feet and moves upward, potentially affecting the diaphragm and breathing. He spent 21 days in intensive care receiving IVIG treatment (intravenous immunoglobulin) and was discharged with only physiotherapy prescribed, with doctors saying it would take 24-36 months to regain full mobility. She set a new target with her father—that he would see her off at the airport when she left—and became his coach, having him journal daily about his current thoughts/feelings and his desired future thoughts/feelings (which made him break down every time). She explained the concepts of overcoming environment, body, and time from "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself," watching him like a hawk and stopping him whenever he slipped into victim mode, redirecting him to his new story. Within 2-3 weeks he started seeing changes, and he recovered complete mobility of his entire body within 3 months, coming to see her at the airport as promised. This transformation changed her entire family's life and inspired her to become an NCS consultant—she attended the Train the Trainer event in Denver in July and is on the pathway to becoming a licensed NCS consultant in January.
Transforming the Effects of Autism and Epilepsy With Coherence Healing™
Eli, diagnosed at age 6 with autism and severe developmental and learning disabilities scoring in the 1% on standardized tests, also experienced bullying at school and was violent at home, giving his brother a concussion with a plastic toy, then developed epilepsy with 4 dramatic seizures in 6 months (convulsing, vomiting, eyes wide, shaking) that terrified his mother who would sleep holding his hand each night fearing he might die as neurologists offered no treatment beyond symptom management with anticonvulsants. His mother signed up for the Dallas retreat filling out the medical form as if she was her son, was initially rude when offered coherence healing for Eli but then felt ashamed and brought her 7-year-old son who participated in 3 coherence healing sessions on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday with 7 other children despite being uncooperative and saying healers looked weird. Immediately after the healings his behavior completely transformed showing calmness, empathy, welcoming his brother with tears, learning to write and read, speaking French (his mother's language) for the first time, developing profound emotional intelligence, wanting to be a doctor, inventor, billionaire and soccer player, becoming a healer when others are in pain, and having zero seizures since the event while reducing his anticonvulsant medication from 1.5 pills to 0.5 pills.

Defying the Limits of MS Through Self Love
A former Marine, age 31, was diagnosed with MS in 2017 and medically retired, with his neurologist predicting he'd be in a wheelchair by age 30 based on his condition. His initial symptoms at his first week-long event in November 2023 (which his wife secretly paid for) included significant vision problems in his left eye, severe balance issues preventing him from standing still, and difficulty walking in straight lines or any distances, severely limiting his activities. During his second walking meditation at the event, he had his first mystical experience with a profound feeling of truly loving himself for the first time in his life, which eliminated his constant anxiety and depression. Since then, with a daily 6am meditation practice before his family wakes, his mental outlook transformed dramatically, stopping him from constantly thinking about his diagnosis, which has halted or reversed his MS progression, shocking his neurologist who couldn't believe he was still walking and not in a wheelchair as predicted.
He ‘Let it Happen’ – and Surrendered to Healing
A man was hit in the side of the head with a steel metal bar at work in April 2018, causing traumatic brain injury as his brain ricocheted off the other side creating most pain on his right side, leading to complications including ventilator breathing, seizures, walking difficulty, requiring full-time home care with his daughter taking care classes, becoming psychotic requiring 10 days in a hospital safe room, and being told he would never drive again. His Oklahoma neurologist said he wouldn't get proper care there and should move to California for UCLA medical treatment, so within 10 days they moved and he began seeing multiple doctors in rapid succession while his wife attended Santa Monica beach Saturday meditation group and brought him along just to get out of the house. He would sit in a beach wheelchair listening to his radio instead of meditating until one day deciding to listen to the meditations, then receiving a foundation grant trip to Cancun which became more important than the vacation itself as he learned new meditation and breathing techniques before being honored as a healee. During his third healing after deciding to completely open up and let whatever happens happen, he felt ants crawling up his legs, his butt went numb, felt three fingers pushing into the top of his head with something happening, and when the session ended he got up and pushed his wheelchair away without thinking, walking from then on. His family saw a light go on in his eyes saying their old dad was back, and at his first advanced course without needing to relearn breathing basics, he appreciates learning to breathe better and hopes for more healing, recommending others look into it even if they don't think it's their thing since it completely changed his life.
From Chronic Pain and Anxiety ... to Healing ‘Everything’
A 63-year-old woman suffered with CRPS (chronic regional pain syndrome) for 18-20 years affecting multiple body regions with off-the-charts pain levels, along with severe anxiety, clinical depression, osteoarthritis and thyroid nodule, having tried every medication, psychiatric treatment, and alternative medicine without relief. After her daughter showed her a documentary six months prior, she became deeply interested in the teaching that thoughts alone could heal the body and change chemistry and biology, completing all online courses and meditating twice daily without missing a day, which improved her anxiety and previously difficult travel abilities. During a Tuesday meditation at the event where she focused on healing shoulder numbness and back issues, she shook violently afterwards, and when she woke the next day she was walking with nothing bothering her and her neck was fine. After the morning walking meditation, she excitedly told Dr. Joe he fixed her 18-year struggle with numbness, and that afternoon received a phone call from her doctor about her CT scan diagnosing thoracic outlet syndrome requiring surgery, but she confidently told her doctor it didn't matter because she had healed herself. When her doctor negatively predicted it would come back, she rejected that prognosis and committed to healing everything, subsequently experiencing two nights of perfect sleep without numbness, improved back function allowing hours of sitting without problems, and complete pain elimination.
She Emerged From Coherence Healing™ Sessions Free of Cancer
A woman diagnosed with early stage triple negative breast cancer in February 2024 had a 1-inch tumor in her left breast with two lymph nodes removed, achieving clear margins and no micro spread, but after switching oncologists, sensitive blood tests detected trace amounts of cancer still circulating in her body that was too small for scans to detect, and the levels increased over two months leading to recommendations for chemotherapy. Starting in March before surgery, she began doing Walking Meditation 6 on repeat, walking as if she no longer had cancer and living as her future self, which led to her being selected as a healee at the Denver retreat. Within 24 hours of arriving at the retreat, a difficult fluid pocket (seroma) from surgery disappeared, and during the first coherence healing she felt sharp shooting sensations all over her left tricep where a nerve had been cut during surgery, completely regaining sensation in her previously numb tricep. Her radiation burn completely disappeared after experiencing intense shivering sensations specifically in her left breast during a heartwarming conversation, and after the third coherence healing which felt calm and peaceful with a blue healing sensation, she told her healers "I just feel like I'm healed." Her oncologist, who was supposed to conduct her chemotherapy intake for five months of treatment, stumbled over her words trying to say the blood test results went down to 0.0, and she declared "I left my cancer body back in Denver."
She Released Fear – and Healed an Inoperable Aneurysm
Woman woke up on birthday (April 2021) spinning in dream and in reality (vertigo), couldn't move arms or speak properly, thought having stroke. ER gave oxygen, fluids, CT scan - doctor said no stroke but found 8mm aneurysm on left carotid artery (she had no idea what aneurysm was). Considered very large, no neurologist appointment for couple weeks, so already knowing Dr. Joe's work, dove into it - meditating 4-6 hours daily because terrified. Morning of neurologist appointment, during meditation had most profound mystical experience - personality turned off, disappeared, felt like pure beingness looking through eyes as universe, creation unfolding everywhere she looked, complete elation, no more fear of death. Neurologist said inoperable, don't worry, live your life, if bursts will try to operate. Kept daily meditation, second neurologist completely freaked out saying emergency, could burst any moment - once again terrified. After couple weeks of 4-6 hours daily meditation, had vision of woman (shared past lifetime, had been in slavery) smiling because she was free, fear in her body turned into hundreds of black birds flying away. Continued daily meditation for hours, in December 2021 during Tuning Into New Potentials meditation, dropped into quantum field floating free, then had vision of arm/hand made of blue light reaching into her head pulling out aneurysm - she knew it was gone. February 2022 CT scan showed no sign of aneurysm, artery back to normal size. Neurologist shocked, said must not have had one, but she knew she'd been healed after completely changing emotionally, mentally, spiritually.
He Overcame Doubt and Healed Bell’s Palsy
Huge skeptic of Joe Dispenza had Bell's palsy 3 times in early 20s (1% of 1% lottery), on left side and right side twice with permanent nerve damage in right corner of mouth, eyes wouldn't blink at same rate, treated like leper when can't move half face with food dripping, can't speak properly, looks like stroke, very fearful going into meditations thinking might happen in brain again. Son Max had double hip surgery, father agreed to come to event for Max's emotional recovery from surgery, tweaked back picking up bag of mulch at Costco, Max said good time to start the work. First 5 minutes of meditation felt really warm feeling on face that freaked him out, felt energy released from face, 20 minutes later started feeling smiling equally (hasn't smiled in photograph since early 20s). About week later doing meditation felt pain in back of shoulder going up through neck, back through face, up through sinuses, very painful like getting electrocuted but trusted and kept going, got here and released, immediately able to start blinking at same rate. Week later mother visiting (hadn't seen for more than 5 minutes, upset she couldn't fix son's physical issue) immediately looked at him saying "you're blinking the same, you're smiling, what happened." At 13 was pitcher, tore rotator cuff, right arm was 3 inches shorter so every suit tailor would say arms aren't same length. In meditation moving shoulder did slight pull on arm would never do consciously, felt something go around shoulder and release. Next morning talking to Max about weird things happening, Max said "put out your arms," right arm was half inch longer. For someone who was massive skeptic turned off by walking out of wheelchairs stories, this was really small thing but had obviously been holding it whole life, says be skeptical and you'll be surprised.
With a Healed Fracture, He’s Walking in to His Future – and Not Looking Back
United States Army veteran, medically retired after 15 years of service due to PTSD and physical injuries, suffered from severe alcohol abuse, anxiety, and PTSD from 2018 onwards, seeking healing through various modalities primarily Dr. Joe's work. At Cancun 2022 retreat he experienced instantaneous healing, stopped telling old stories, immediately stopped all VA medications, and his life improved dramatically. In May, broke his foot (cuboid/nutcracker fracture) falling down stairs, told mandatory 8 weeks off foot in cast, then 3 months total healing with brace and physical therapy; he rejected this outcome, removed cast, studied foot anatomy images, meditated focusing on the foot for entire week despite nervousness. At 1-week follow-up x-ray, doctor was flustered and angry, repeatedly asking if it was an old fracture from months or years ago because the break was completely healed with bone and ligaments back together - impossible healing rate - and patient was walking and driving within 3-4 days, creating unlimited life including mortgage-free home, teaching Veterans the work, and his son making $1,800 YouTube video in one week.
He Answered the Call of His Future Self – and Taught Himself to Heal
Theodor had abdominal pain and sleep difficulties, and after a CT scan was diagnosed with a 19-20 centimeter kidney tumor (kidney cancer) with metastases throughout his body including five-centimeter lung nodules, pancreas, and gut. Doctors prepared him for worst-case scenario with chemo and radiation, and he was hospitalized for about a month. During hospitalization, both his wife and brother-in-law independently gave him the same red Becoming Supernatural book on the same day, which he took as a sign he had to read it. He told doctors he didn't want radiotherapy or conventional treatments; they put him on immunotherapy which unfortunately didn't work and caused his liver enzymes and bilirubin to go sky-high, making him sicker. After discharge, he went to Dr. Joe's website, bought the Formula course, Intensive course, and most meditations, and started daily practice. Some days were difficult and he didn't want to meditate, but he did it anyway, learning meditation meant being aware of thoughts and coming back (not stopping thoughts entirely). For 15 months, he did the work every single day without missing once, realizing "my mind is like a garden" where thoughts are seeds he plants. After 15 months of daily meditation, he had another CT scan and the doctor said "I don't know what you've done but there's nothing in your lung, your CT is clean, nothing in your guts," and the kidney cancer shrank from 19 centimeters to five centimeters with nothing large enough to biopsy. He wasn't doing meditations to heal but to change, and when he changed, he healed. He later won a week-long event as a Catalyst Community donor.
She Healed Autoimmune Disease by Learning to Change
Woman with multiple autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis (spent 3 years in a wheelchair, blinding left eye), rheumatoid arthritis, bone marrow cancer twice, and myasthenia gravis with double vision. She spent 3-4 hours daily watching Dr. Joe's content (rewired over 20 times) and meditating, initially triggered by an angry email about myasthenia gravis. Her breakthrough came when she realized healing wasn't enough - she needed to change who she was as a person, because the same disregulated genes causing MS also caused her other autoimmune conditions. In one meditation, she woke up realizing it was about changing, not healing, and from that moment everything shifted - she became more mobile, lost 155 pounds in 8 months, moved from Oklahoma to Los Angeles, and manifested attending Cancun retreat as a Give to Give Foundation recipient (her husband also has traumatic brain injury).
Living With Joy and Intention Healed Her Vision
Diagnosed at age 2.5 with strabismus (inability for eyes to track together - left eye moved differently than right eye) due to congenital birth abnormalities, she wore glasses or contacts from age 2.5 to 33 (over 30 years). After discovering Dr. Joe's work about 1.5 years ago and attending Cancun the previous summer, she decided to put healing her vision into the field with intentions not just for perfect eye tracking but also to embody her own power, strength, and confidence, recognizing immense shame around her eyes. One Saturday morning during deep meditation, feeling profound love for her life, all of creation, and the Divine, she suddenly felt a huge otherworldly embrace - a noble, kind love like a grandparent - within and around her. Shortly after while driving in pouring rain with a walking meditation playing, her right ear started crackling (a sound never heard before), her head was gently turned and held as if in a gentle vice, and for 40 minutes a powerful force of energy moved up her neck into the center of her brain (slightly to the right) while she repeated "I surrender to love, thank you." After 3-4 weeks of integration, she no longer needs glasses or contacts except for very fine print.
Free From Chemo After 18 Years
A woman diagnosed in July 2005 with stage 4 HER2 positive breast cancer metastatic to spine (three crushed vertebrae) and lymph nodes when her fourth child was 7 months old, continued treatment for 18 years, never questioning needing chemo for the rest of her life to stay alive and experiencing no side effects because she decided she wouldn't. After seeing a friend's life change through Dr. Joe's meditations, she bought the progressive workshop online and started practicing, having her first breath experience at Paris Progressive Retreat where she felt her bottom being pulled out and separated (something major, felt really good), leading to daily meditation without missing a single day since November 2022. At Nashville retreat while still on 3-week chemo cycles, she got an overwhelming feeling that treatment wasn't aligned with her, which was huge since she'd associated medicine with life for 18 years. She was selected as a healee with clear intent to be healed to stop medicine, having fear of announcing this to her oncologist but trusting it would work out. During breath work, her first energy center came up and somehow merged with the third, pushing up into pineal gland with immense relief, peeling off layers of traumatic childhood, raising kids alone, and abusive past. After the walking meditation, she realized "the person that started the walk was not the person that ended the walk," understanding the body that created the disease no longer exists. Three days after Nashville, her oncologist (whom she'd seen for 18 years like an old friend) spontaneously said "this summer you're going to stop your treatments" without her asking. Her last chemo was August 2023, and at Marco Island she was a healee again, solidifying that she'd never have chemo again. About a month ago, the oncologist called saying he wanted to see her "one last time before I retire," fulfilling her memory of him telling her in her panic years ago "you're going to see me retire." The fear that cancer patients live with is gone because she knows that person doesn't exist - she has a new body, new brain, and coherent heart.
She Walked Away From Depression – For Good
A woman in Germany overcame severe depression following her cancelled marriage by committing to 88 walking meditations and daily practice, using creative techniques like a barcode scan alarm to force herself out of bed. She discovered her depression stemmed from a freezing response to insecurity and learned to feel through emotions rather than suppress them. Through study group work and consuming Dr. Joe's content obsessively, she transformed from unable to get out of bed to vibrant and smiley, gaining confidence that the depression will never return because she can self-regulate her emotional states.
She Listened to Her Heart – and Found Love
A person meditating for a while attended Denver 2021 retreat and during meditation experienced a really lucid moment where they were holding someone's hand on a beach with a child, seeing the child's face clearly and never forgetting the touch sensed in that hand but couldn't see the other person's face; coming out of meditation their heart told them they were ready to create love in their life. They dove into New York dating scene and in 4 months dated about 100 people, going from feeling insecure to feeling confident despite it being exhausting and full of insecurity and fear of rejection, but their heart gave very clear signs of who's right and who's not. Their intention was very clear - only wanted a conscious relationship with 3 things on their list: beautiful gorgeous man, very excited about change and not afraid, and great chef (rest left to universe to surprise them); they kept walking away from situations that seemed really attractive but heart said "this is not for us" which was really tough sometimes to walk away from really promising men, but they felt confident that when heart said "this is it" they'd know. Tired of dating they stopped, swiping left on the last 12 people on the app and just letting it be; out of nowhere one day somebody texted from those last 12, they met on a date without trying (she wasn't even ready), he changed his mind at last minute almost not coming but his intuition said "if you don't go today you'll be making a mistake." When he walked into the room where she sat with a friend, time stopped for a bleep, her friend said "I think that's your date," and they sat there for 4 hours. They realized this Divine planning had been in the works since 2020 when they first got divorced, creating this future by constantly changing themselves and believing in themselves - the lucid dream was manifestation of change already created till that time, holding onto that vision but never seeing who the person was in the dream. When they met now-husband Peter they knew very quickly they were in love which was different and difficult coming from a past relationship that didn't work, having to work further on themselves to not let fear make choices, not let any feeling other than love speak. Married now for 2 years it is the conscious relationship they really wanted; the more they overcame their own fear and baggage/trauma from past relationship, the more they could let their heart lead and listen to that one voice saying "go in this way" while cutting through noise of other voices (despite best intentions) saying doubts. They emphasize: "if you believe, behave, and become what you seek, how could you not get exactly that."

Living With an ‘Expanded Heart’ – and Free From Migraine Pain
At age 30, this person was suddenly struck with a rare form of daily chronic migraine affecting only 1% of the population, causing such severe 24/7 pain for 5 years that she couldn't work, maintain social life, care for her child, or leave home, leading to deep depression with suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and panic attacks despite trying all conventional medical treatments including surgery to cut 8 nerves in her head. After discovering Dr. Joe's work through the book "You Are the Placebo" and attending the Cancun retreat during COVID, she committed to meditating 2 hours every morning at 6 a.m. regardless of how she felt, spending the entire year catching herself returning to old emotional patterns and realizing her addiction to past trauma and childhood emotions. After one year her environment completely changed and she could enjoy life again, and the severe migraine pain completely disappeared, with no pain for 2 years now, living with an expanded heart and maintaining mystical states with eyes open in daily life.

Despite intense trauma and panic, she chose an alternative path after discovering the work through a documentary, committing to daily physiotherapy and meditation practice. During a week-long retreat healing session, she was chosen as a healee and experienced profound warmth and love flowing through her chest and heart center. In this deeply emotional healing, she felt the weight of two baby heads in her open palms, creating an unshakeable knowing about her fertility despite the accident derailing her motherhood plans. She avoided surgery entirely, regaining full knee mobility and function, and ultimately had two sons (ages 4 and 2 at time of testimony), fulfilling both her physical healing and her deepest wish to become a mother.

She Stopped Looking Outside for Answers – and Healed Autoimmune Disease
Since age 12 experienced autoimmune disease where body did not recognize connection cells and was eating them inside, especially joints, tremendous pain during growth, pregnancy with three kids. In 2013, oldest daughter, grandma, mom, and father all passed away within four months, woke up with half of upper body not working and unable to walk. Doctors said it was trauma disconnection between mind and body, needed physical therapy and psychologist. In 2018 attended first Progressive event in wheelchair, realized she relied on everything outside and needed to look within. In 2020 had five surgeries on both shoulders, right hip, and sacrum, committed to daily practice reading, listening, and meditating every morning for two years.

He Focused on Change – and Healed His IBS
A person started experiencing severe stabbing stomach pains in January 2020 requiring hospitalization, was diagnosed with IBS and leaky gut, and within three months was down to only six foods they could eat as allergies developed to eggs, beans, and rice they had eaten daily before, having never had allergies previously. After a year of paying naturopathic doctors without much improvement, they flew to Panama for a progressive retreat in December 2021 and began daily meditation, but the first year showed minimal physical results despite feeling lighter and less stressed, though they still had eczema and red hands when walking outside. They gave it another year after hearing transformational stories could take multiple years, doubled down to twice-daily meditation about 18 months in, and things started improving once they broke through their anger about the situation and stopped forcing outcomes, instead focusing on feeling more whole inside and operating through life with more love for life, others and themselves. Their body began transforming as they separated themselves from their emotions, realizing external events didn't have to dictate internal state, and they learned to ask what they could learn and grow from rather than staying stuck in the moment. Now they can eat anything they want with minimal symptoms and very little brain fog, having healed not just their body but fundamentally transformed how they look at and approach life, understanding this work is about healing their entire relationship with living rather than just physical healing.
