Healing involves awakening the natural self-organizing processes embedded in our DNA. With knowledge of these processes and awareness of our conscious and subconscious mental activity we can redraft the blueprints of our lives.

In two prior articles in this series on Epigenetics, I explain how our perceptions influence our biology.

The first article in this Epigenetic series,  Epigenetics: How Our Perceptions Change Our Biology, I explain what Epigenetics is and the process of epigenetics. That article will give you an understanding of why our hereditary gene activity is not determined by the gene itself, but rather by the environment for the cell in which the gene exists. You will also come to see how the environment and perceptions of the environment are within your control and that you can use your ability to change the environment and your perceptions of the environment to change the activity of our genes.

In the second article in the Epigenetic series, What's Love Got To Do Wi...

In my last article, HOW OUR PERCEPTIONS CHANGE OUR BIOLOGY  I described what Epigenetics is, how our perceptions change our biology, and how our knowledge and awareness of our perceptions can be the catalyst for transformation and lasting change. I also described the findings of Dr. Bruce Lipton's Stanford Medical Stem Cell research. You can read a National Institutes of Health article published on the topic here.

In this article, I will describe a real life example of epigentics, the process by which our mind and perceptions change our biology.

To recap briefly, the groundbreaking research of Dr. Bruce Lipton found that genetic activity is controlled by our environment and our perceptions of our environment.  Genes alone do not control our fate. The environment and our perception of the environment actually select the genetic activity of the cell. 

How exactly does this work?
