What Becoming Supernatural is about
Joe Dispenza, author of You Are the Placebo, argues that people are supernatural by nature once they have the right knowledge and instruction. Drawing on research from his advanced workshops since 2012, he tells of ordinary people doing uncommon things to transform their lives.
The book blends scientific information with ancient wisdom and makes some bold claims: that we can tune in to frequencies beyond the material world, and that we can deliberately change our brain chemistry to bring about mystical, transcendent experiences. Various meditations are the practical tools for putting these ideas to work. The tone is inspirational and instructional, with a quasi-scientific flavor. It will suit readers already curious about meditation and self-transformation who want a guided method to try, and who are comfortable with a mix of neuroscience and spirituality.
