Am I Changing My Genes?

• Genes – not the kind you wear – are units of heredity in our bodies that exist on our DNA. They create a code of who and what we are.
• EPIGENETICS is the study of changes in our gene activity that are usually passed from one generation to the next.
• What this means is that what’s encoded in our genes can change due to certain things that go on in our life.
• Every organism, including humans, has a GENOME that contains all the biological information needed to maintain a living example of that organism.
• The biological information contained in a genome is encoded in its DNA and divided into units called GENES.
• An EPIGENOME sits on top of each genome in our body. These marks tell our genes to switch on or off.
• That said, do you think it’s possible that an epigenetic mark can switch off the “combat/fight/ battle” gene?
• If diet and stress leave marks on our genes that are passed from one generation to the next, why not our “fight” gene?
• Do you think its possible that learning how to be AWARE, and to be IN THE MOMENT can genetically change our deeply held pattern for violence and war – and turn us into peaceful beings?
• Can our brain heal itself by being AWARE of its deepest fears?
• Is it possible for our DNA to get unstuck from old patterns?
