When was the last time you really explored the concept of your own DNA? If it’s not in the last few years, then you may have missed out on some startling discoveries. What we now know is that the expression of our very own DNA – our genetics – is largely determined by how we feel on a vibratory level. When we feel upbeat and full of energy, we’re literally enhancing the expression of our DNA! This is a profound concept that goes far beyond literary musings. Specifically, it ties right into our health and well-being.
Strong, positive feeling states like love, joy, compassion and gratitude actually “relax” our physical DNA. When our DNA is in this more relaxed state, its expression is significantly enhanced and leads to higher immune functioning and a more intelligent body. And the opposite? Powerful negative states like frustration, anger, hate and rage? We’ve now seen undeniably through scientific research that these negative feeling states tighten or wind up the DNA coils…effectively squelching our immune system and our general level of health.
I personally found this information to rank high among the most eye-opening research I’ve ever come across. How many times have you heard, “Oh, it’s my genetics”; “That’s just the way it is”; “I was born this way”; “I’ll never change”; “My parents had it…” Familiar? Our genetic blueprint is certainly responsible for how we’ve turned out in general. But to say that you don’t have power over your genetics is an outright lie. Cellular biologist Bruce Lipton cites that while we can’t change our genes, we determine the expression of those genes. The options? There are over 30,000 different variations or expressions possible from each gene! So I would like to make a bolder statement today: stop playing the role of a victim. Kill off the victim mentality. If you’ve found yourself turning to a new pill for each ailment that comes your way, then you’re most likely playing the victim game. I wholeheartedly believe in the innate healing ability of the human body; when we overload ourselves with toxins that can’t be utilized by the body, we need to flush them out. So many “symptoms” being overriden are really our intelligent bodies at work self-healing and self-regulating our internal environment!
Whether it’s your first time hearing this, or it’s just a simple reminder, remember this: you do have control over your own health. The field of epigenetic control studies this at the finest level (epi= above, genetic= genes). It’s “control above the genes”, and the research is becoming more remarkable the further down we go. Commonly held assumptions about our role in health care are starting to shift, and undeniably for the better. I’m so grateful to be a part of this movement that really showcases personal responsibility for health, fitness and other lifestyle choices. We all have the same palette for ourselves to work with: our DNA. My question is: what’s your expression?
Unleash Your Vitality,

If you got any of your Grandparents DNA {Nancy & John} consider it a blessing.
Geez John,
You’re right on target. I recently finished reading The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton, also The Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden. I’m glad to see this is being taught in schools. You have a very understandable way of explaining it too. Nice job.
Both of those are actually on my reading list for books I’d like to get to as soon as possible! Great picks, I enjoy both of the authors – both clear and very empowering. As for being taught in schools, certainly not in the public school system! But with all those emerging fields and new research, it’ll be great to see it start entering the curriculum more and more.
