Can our Mind Reprogram our Genes?

Answer this…

  • How much control do we have over our own lives?
  • Are we really controlled by our genes like some modern scientists and authors want us to believe?
  • Just how much power do we have to shape our lives and those of others?

Contrary to what many people are being led to believe, a lot of the emphasis placed on genes determining human behavior is nothing but theory and doctrine. Go back in history to 1990; a huge, international research program began the human genome project. Its main goal was to map out all human genes and their interactions using computer software and then to convert that knowledge into (profitable) “benefits” for mankind, such as finding cures for the most horrible diseases.

The hype was everywhere in the scientific community and they sure made it sound promising for wiping out diseases and spent a lot of taxpayersmoney on it, but was the whole project used for good? Personally, I dont think so!

In essence, what this central dogma says is that since it is proteins that carry out the essential life-processes inside our cells, and their functions can only do what our genes say (this is what was believed in the medical establishment) then we humans are nothing more than the expression of our genes.

This outdated theory is still being taught in medical schools and universities all over the world today. Fortunately for all conscious people, this disempowering belief has been proven to be false.

There is an innate intelligence at play in life that we cant even begin to understand. According to this new science called Epigenetic's there is an interplay of forces between living beings and their environments. Plenty of highly intelligent biologists have proven beyond a doubt that the genes do not determine human outcomes – it is our responses to our environment that actually determine the expression of our genes.

 Genes can be activated and de-activated by signals from the environment through our senses . The consciousness of the cell is inside the cells membrane. Each and every cell in our body has a type of consciousness. Genes change their expression depending on what is happening outside our cells and even outside our bodies.

What Does This Mean For Our Health ?

We are free to make conscious decisions that impact our lives and those of others. We are not robots carrying out the commands of our genes. Our beliefs, diet, thoughts and movement can change our biology. We have the power to heal ourselves, increase our feelings of self-worth and improve our emotional state. Every aspect of our lives can be improved with the right intention.

The worst thing we can do as thinking and feeling human beings is to lose touch with our deep internal messages and positive emotions and let fear and anger take over our lives. The part of the brain called the limbic system regulates messages throughout the body that affect how we feel. When we allow ourselves to be taken over by negative thinking we are putting ourselves in a mental-biological state of the fight or flight response.

In order to grow positively in life we need to express positive emotions such as love, compassion, and joy .It is critical to feed our innate thoughts to conquer our fears and limiting beliefs to improve our own lives. When we change our beliefs and consciously control our emotional states we change our lives.

Better Brain tips:

Get in touch with the emotions you are feeling throughout the week. Take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle.
On the left capture all the emotions you feel throughout the week ( left brain)
On the right side write down all the emotions you want to feel ( right brain )

Outcome: Determine what triggers each response and strengthen positive emotions and address negative emotions
