Ioana, thanks for joining us again, we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and insights about Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon. Let’s start with a quick summary to bring everyone up to speed.
“Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon “ by Dr. Joe Dispenza is a transformative exploration of human potential and the power of the mind to create extraordinary outcomes in life. Rooted in neuroscience, quantum physics, and ancient spiritual principles, the book offers a roadmap for readers to transcend their current limitations and unlock their innate ability to influence reality. Dispenza combines cutting-edge scientific research with practical techniques to guide readers in harnessing the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and energy field, ultimately leading to profound personal transformation.
At its core, the book argues that humans have the potential to access higher states of consciousness, reprogram their minds, and shift their biology to align with their desired reality. By doing so, they can heal themselves, manifest their dreams, and experience life in ways once thought impossible. Dispenza illustrates these ideas through compelling case studies, anecdotes from workshop participants, and step-by-step instructions for meditation and other practices designed to help readers tap into this “supernatural” potential.
What makes this book particularly powerful is its accessibility—Dispenza takes complex scientific concepts and distills them into relatable and actionable insights.

Ultimately, Becoming Supernatural is not just a guide to personal transformation but a bold assertion that each of us holds the key to becoming more than we ever imagined. It’s a call to step beyond the ordinary and embrace a life of unlimited possibilities.
Awesome, so let’s dive a bit more into why this book matters to you.
Becoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe Dispenza became more than just a book for me—it was a lifeline during one of the most challenging times of my life: the COVID-19 pandemic. In a period marked by uncertainty, isolation, and heightened stress, this book offered me tools, insights, and hope to navigate my emotions and safeguard my mental well-being. As the world seemed to spin out of control, I found a sense of peace through the principles and practices that Dispenza so clearly articulates.
One of the core lessons that resonated deeply with me was the idea that our thoughts and emotions not only influence our mental state but can also shape our physical health and overall reality. As Dr. Dispenza writes, “Where you place your attention is where you place your energy.” During this time, I often felt overwhelmed by anxiety and fatigue, both physical and emotional. The meditative practices outlined in the book became my anchor. They taught me how to step away from survival-driven emotions like fear and stress and enter a state of calm and clarity. By focusing on gratitude and the possibility of a better future, I began to rewire my mindset—and the effects were profound.
In addition to meditation, I began practicing biofeedback therapy as part of my healing journey. Biofeedback helped me monitor and regulate my physiological responses, such as heart rate and breathing patterns, which were often thrown out of balance by stress. Together with Dispenza’s meditations, biofeedback therapy helped me create a synergy between my mind and body. These combined practices allowed me to observe the tangible effects of relaxation and emotional regulation on my physical health. I became more aware of how deeply my thoughts and feelings influenced my nervous system, and biofeedback gave me an added layer of control to fine-tune my emotional state.
Perhaps the most transformative aspect of the book was its guidance on healing and rejuvenation. At that time, I was struggling with chronic fatigue and stress. Dispenza’s work introduced me to the concept that our bodies are energy systems, and by aligning our thoughts and emotions with elevated states of being, we can trigger real, tangible healing. One quote that deeply resonated with me was: “The body is objective. It doesn’t know the difference between an actual experience in your life that creates an emotion and an emotion that you fabricate by thought alone.” By practicing his meditations—in tandem with biofeedback therapy—I noticed significant improvements in my energy levels and overall health. It was as though my body was responding to the signals I was sending, and I started to believe that healing was truly possible.
Another surprising and powerful outcome was a sense of vitality and rejuvenation. Dispenza’s discussions about reverse aging—how changing your internal state can influence your external appearance and biological processes, lengthening the telomeres —were eye-opening. While I was initially skeptical, as I committed to the practices, I began to feel younger, lighter, and more alive. As Dispenza explains, “When we break the emotional bonds with our past, we free up energy to create a new future.” That quote became my mantra, and it helped me let go of stress and embrace a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.
Another wonderful thing that happened was that through consistent practice of these meditations, I was able to manifest a long-held dream—an art studio in Europe. What began as a visualization during meditation, where I imagined not only the physical space but also the feelings of creative freedom, inspiration, and accomplishment associated with it, eventually became a reality. By repeatedly aligning myself with an elevated emotional state—feeling the gratitude, excitement, and fulfillment as though the dream had already come true—and pairing it with a clear and focused intention, the studio materialized in a way that felt both magical and deeply empowering.
This space became much more than just a physical location; it was a sanctuary of self-expression, healing and transformation. It allowed me to fully immerse myself in my creative work, push boundaries, and bring to life ideas that I had previously only envisioned. The energy cultivated through these meditations seemed to flow directly into my art, unlocking a deeper sense of purpose and connection in my work. This creative momentum eventually led to another significant milestone: being recognized with the Best Artist Award for an exhibition at a prestigious gallery in London.
Winning this award felt like a confirmation of the entire process I had been practicing, showing me that the principles of *Becoming Supernatural* work not just on a personal level but also on a professional and external level. It was a full-circle moment—what started as an internal practice of imagining possibilities and trusting the power of the mind and heart turned into tangible success in my career. These experiences have proven to me that when we commit to aligning our energy, intentions, and emotions, we have the power to create extraordinary outcomes.
After reading the book, if you had to boil it down to one key take-away, what would it be?
If I had to boil *Becoming Supernatural* down to one key takeaway, it would be this: we are the creators of our own reality, and our potential is far greater than what we’ve been conditioned to believe. The book teaches that nothing outside of us—no circumstance, relationship, societal expectation, or even our age—defines who we are or what we can achieve. By tapping into the supernatural aspects of ourselves—our ability to influence energy, access elevated states of consciousness, and connect with the quantum field—we gain the tools to transcend the limits of the physical world and create a reality that aligns with our deepest desires.
The supernatural part is what makes this insight so powerful: it’s not just about changing habits or thinking positively; it’s about stepping into a state where we’re no longer bound by time, space, or the constraints of our current situation. The book shows that when we harness the power of our mind, heart, and energy, we have the ability to design a life that goes far beyond what we once thought possible, regardless of age or past experiences. This realization is both transformative and freeing, as it reminds us that our greatest potential comes from within.
