The DNA we are born with has its own mechanism to respond in various situations. DNA is a string, representing our entire make-up and has the capability of evolving over time. The evolution can become negatively or positively influenced depending on the environment and experiences.
More recently I have been working with my DNA and helping the evolutionary process of unwinding the strands that have been repeatedly exposed to trauma. Trauma is experienced the same way within the body if we visually see something or something physically happens to us. There are responses within those strands of DNA to tighten and recoil, making the strands smaller, almost as if they are protecting themselves.
A recent study showed consistent exposure to calm settings, relaxation and soothing music can help unwind/relax the DNA. I believe this also happens when we meditate, restructure our thinking and further allow our body to gain new perspectives of the experiences we have gone through as well as how we interpret the environment we are in. Knowing we always have the ability to shift, change or otherwise undo allows us to encourage more rapid restructuring within our bodies.
This idea is scientific, yet deeply spiritual. While I love the science the spiritual practice of being connected within my body enough to go internally feels extremely powerful. When we are able to work with our bodies we can literally undo the physical responses (recoiling of DNA) within our body, eliminating pain, injury and disease.
We have layers of experiences, reactions and built in memory to each of those; this requires us to heal in layers and understand while our cognitive brain can restructure our physical body needs to equally. A practiced connection to our spiritual body allows all three of those layers to begin to work with one another, truly restructuring our DNA.
I share this as I have personally been healing deep layers involving my DNA. This process for me has been uncomfortable
and sometimes difficult, yet the freedom I am experiencing is life-changing. I will share more of this experience in a future post, but this background was important to note. Hopefully it is found to be helpful. XO
