Epigenetics
The latest breakthrough research in cell biology and quantum physics, according to cellular biologist Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., shows that our genes and DNA are influenced by signals from outside the cell membrane that “turn on” or “turn off” parts of the genome that send functional instructions to our cells. This pioneering research in the field of vibrational medicine known as the new Science of Epigenetics has concluded that our biology is influenced by our “perceptions” of the world we live in, our thoughts, beliefs, prayers, mediations and intentions. The research is the study of factors that influence DNA expression. The food we eat, the air we breathe, the words we speak and the ecological systems in which we live also influence the switches that turn on and off the expression or communication of our genes and DNA. The Science of Epigenetics lies in tracing the signal outside the cell back to its origins. It looks for the energy flow that causes the DNA blueprint to activate a particular pattern, the energetic force behind the way our DNA expresses itself. These Epigenetic influences on gene and DNA expression rewrite the rules of disease, heredity and Well-Being.
Thought Activates
Genetic Changes
Our DNA code is fixed for life, but experiments at the Institute of HeartMath in Boulder Creek, CA, led by Rollin McCraty Ph.D, along with the studies conducted at the Monroe Institute , show that measurable molecular changes in the DNA molecule can result from thought, intentions, emotions and spiritual connection. With each thought we have and with each feeling experienced there are genetic changes in our cells. Each signal shuts down some genes and activates others. Gene expression is mediated by the choices that we make and the behaviors we choose, which all arise from either the mind or Heart and communicated through our morphogenetic energy fields. Researchers already have linked changes in the way our DNA is regulated to various cancers, diabetes, autoimmune diseases and mental illnesses.
Heart-Brain Connection
The Heart communicates through its own innate language known in many cultures as ‘The Seat of the Soul”. It speaks directly with our brain and creates an energetic field that incorporates our physical body. The Heart also comprises a nervous system entirely independent of our central nervous system containing around 40,000 neurons.
When our thoughts and emotions become chaotic, resulting in emotions of overload, irritability and impatience, it is usually because we are focused more on our mind’s direction and lose the connection to the intuitive guidance of the Heart. When our Heart field is coherent, the energy and information sent to the body results in improved health and well-being, optimal performance, healthier relationships, focus and intuition.
When we are in a state of Gratitude, Trust, Compassion or Joy, all our physiological systems in the body are in alignment, functioning at their optimal level. Our personal coherent field connects into the Universal Field all around us, of which we are all a part. When we connect in thought and feelings that are Love-based, it has been found to have a positive effect on our DNA and hence our physiology. Mothers and their babies are often said to share a deep, intimate connection. Simply by looking and smiling at each other, moms and babies synchronize their heartbeats to within milliseconds of each other.
