Your Beliefs Impact Your Genes

I love learning about impactful research being done in many different scientific areas. One area of research I've enjoyed learning about is called epigenetics. New research in the area of epigenetics is demonstrating that our genes don't control us, that we control our genes.

​What scientists are finding is that our beliefs can change our biology. Certain combinations of genes can be turned on or off depending greatly on our frame of mind ... what your mind perceives and believes. Our environment, including our thoughts, our feelings, and our belief systems influences genetic activity. 

One of the scientists pioneering this area of research is Dr. Bruce Lipton. He explains, "You have the gene, but depending on how you live, how you respond, what your belief systems are, the expression of gene could be modified. Genes don't control anything, that they are just blueprints. Whereas 'epigenetic control' ... control above the genes ... turns everything on its head. The environment influences the selection and reading of genes. A person's health isn't generally a reflection of genes, but how their environment is influencing them."

He says that, "Between one-third and two-thirds of all healing is down to the placebo effect, not therapies, drugs or surgery. The placebo is just a sugar-pill – the patient is healed by the belief they'll get better: positive thinking. The nocebo effect is equally powerful, caused by negative thoughts. The belief you have a terminal illness can actually cause you to die, and negative thinking is much more common. Not just from yourself, but also the thoughts of people who are around you."

It's awesome when science is able to bring forth evidence that demonstrates the power of our minds, our thoughts, words, feelings, beliefs and actions. It supports and reinforces practices that I have personally experienced the benefits of putting into action. 

Being mindful, living in the present, choosing intentional practices for positivity and, maybe most importantly, undoing the subconscious programming that we've been cultured to believe.

When you strike up a conversation, mention something cultural. Ask about a current event or a recent film you just saw.

Try to comment on something about them, like a book they're reading, to strike up a conversation.

An aquarius is unlikely to be swayed by regular flirtation. They are intellectually oriented by nature, and tend to prefer a partner they can learn from.
