Dena Justice - Using Neuro Linguistic Programming to Create Change in the Unconscious Mind
Psychedelics Today
Outcomes: Cause vs. Effect
Dena describes being at cause versus effect and how taking responsibility shifts outcomes and personal power.
In this episode, Joe invites previous guest, Dena Justice back on the show to continue the conversation on Neuro Linguistic Programming and non-ordinary states of consciousness.
3 Key Points:- 93% of what we do on a day to day basis, is unconscious. If we can figure out how to work with that 93%, then we can really do some important things.
- A lot of times we aren't happy with our behavior, first we have to distinguish between cause and effect. With effect, you blame other people, but when you're a cause in your life, you're taking responsibility for what's happening.
- Creating new habits is hard at the conscious level, because it requires conscious thought. NLP focuses on the unconscious.

- 93% of what we do on a day to day basis, is unconscious
- If we can figure out how to work with that 93%, then we can really do some important things
- Communicating with the unconscious mind is kind of how we communicate with ourselves
- The previous episode was called Neuro Linguistic Programming and Non-ordinary states of consciousness
- NLP is all about our nervous system and what is coming in with our 5 senses, then the linguistic part is all about how we communicate what is happening in the body
- NLP basically creates all of our behavior
- The more we are able to understand how our unconscious mind works, the better we are able to get the outcomes we actually want
- A lot of times we aren't happy with our behavior
- First we have to distinguish between cause and effect
- When you're at effect, you blame other people, but when you're a cause in your life, you're taking responsibility for what's happening
- "When we can help people be more at cause, they get those desired outcomes, and people start to get to where they want to go in life" - Dena
- Whatever you're believing that which is outside of yourself, it's actually a reflection of you
- Dena said that she won't go to fitness classes simply because of the language they use
- Altering your state through movement makes a person very vulnerable and the language can be very suggestive
- What are we subjecting ourselves to everyday? When we sit down to watch TV or movies, we are in a trance-like state
- Dena suggests being very careful to be aware of what we let in
- Getting rid of barriers and obstacles to get where you want in life is the goal for NLP
- Going to the gym is a habit so many people want to have and don't
- Creating new habits is hard at the conscious level, because it requires conscious thought
- When we try to make decisions at the conscious level, it gets really difficult
- "All learnings and behaviors, happen at the unconscious level" - Dena
- "How many times did you have to tie your shoes consciously, before you tied your shoes, unconsciously?" - Dena
- Most people don't have good language running in the background, and that is a big reason why people are stuck in poor behaviors
- We create gestalts of emotions and experiences
- A gestalt looks like a pearl necklace, and they are all related to each other
- All of our experiences of our emotions (ex. anger) all get hooked together like a necklace
- It's a way that our mind organizes the information
- When we learn to re-frame intentionally, we can take it as a tool into non-ordinary states of consciousness
- In psychedelic experiences, we are re-framing the conscious mind, we shake loose of our gestalts
- "We need to learn new tools in order to directly communicate with the unconscious mind" - Dena
- When we can get to the 'aha' moment, we can create change more quickly
- Limiting beliefs and negative emotions get in the way
- Getting rid of limiting beliefs causes massive aligned action which leads to massive life change
- Our unconscious mind loves following instructions
- We tell the mind so many don'ts, 'don't cross the street, don't walk on the grass, etc
- We need to tell the mind exactly what to do
- People are really clear about what they don't want, but they aren't always clear on what they do want
- 7% of what we are saying are just words, the other 93% is is how we say it, our emotions, our infections, are body positions, etc
- Joe mentions somatic techniques, but that only goes so far, NLP takes it home
- We learn language, but we don't learn to be effective communicators
- Joe, Kyle and Dena are talking about doing a 5-day breathwork and NLP workshop in Sonoma, CA
- Breathwork is such an amazing tool for non-ordinary state of consciousness
- Until more news is released about the retreat/workshop, Dena invites listeners to take her course over at her website, Ecstatic Collective
- Sign up at psychedelicstoday.com/NLP to be notified of the future workshop
