In Newbury, a dedicated community is transforming local social wellbeing by practicing the principles of Dr. Joe Dispenza’s “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself”.

This initiative focuses on the “biological upgrade” required to move from a stress-based existence to one of intentional creation.

The Rider and the Horse

Central to this practice is a guiding principle often shared by Abdul Baha:

The spirit is the rider, and the body is the steed. If the steed is strong and the rider is weak, then the horse will go wherever it wishes; but if the rider is strong and the steed is weak, then the horse cannot go fast enough. Therefore, both must be strong.”

— ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks

Themes of Transformation

The Newbury group anchors their practice on three key themes:

* *Neuroplasticity:* Consciously interrupting “the habit of being yourself” to prune old neural pathways and wire new ones.

* *The Quantum Model:* Aligning clear intention (the rider) with elevated emotion (the heart) to signal the quantum field/Holy spirit.

* *Overcoming the Body:* Training the body to no longer be the master, moving beyond the “Big Three”: Body, Environment, and Time.

By mastering the “horse,” individuals stop leaking energy to stress and reactivity. This creates *Collective Coherence*—a state where personal peace radiates outward, lowering the “social temperature” of the community. As members gather for group meditations, they foster a culture of vulnerability and resilience, proving that when the “rider” takes control, the entire community moves toward a healthier,abundant future.
