I’ve got to admit: the last few days have been pretty exciting. Friends and family are coming out from around the country and meeting up after months of being apart from each other! It’s a time of celebration, giving thanks, and… s-t-r-e-s-s. It’s easy to get caught up in the turbulence of the holiday season, and to find ourselves in high-stress situations despite our best intentions. So how can we at least deal with these situations in the best way possible?

There are a number of powerful ways to melt away stress in our lives. Diet is a huge part of it – making sure that we eat simple meals that agree with us and leave us full of energy and feeling good!

Did you feel the difference? We hold onto so much without even realizing it! Physical relaxation brings mental relaxation, and vice-versa.

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.
