Rewriting your genetic codes may sound scary and expensive if you think of it without context. However, it’s very simple to execute. You only need have some information about
Epigenetics.
Epigenetics is a field of study that implies “on top of genetics.” It looks at how individuals genes may be deactivated or activated through life experiences. It indicates how you can write your biological story.
Epigenetics supports the thought that our lifestyle, choices, how we see the world and the meaning of life are significant factors in our genes and general health. While genes can readily predispose some people to disease, gene expression which is controlled by external factors.
Researchers Frederickson who is from the University of Illinois and Cole from UCLA have demonstrated that people who show high levels of eudemonic well-being (which is happiness that occurs because of having a sense meaning and purpose in life) are associated with gene expressions that promote longevity and health.
In line with this finding, it means that by discovering a sense of meaning and purpose in life, you are rewriting your genetic code through activation of favorable gene expression.
Thanks to a patient known as Ishmael, I got on this path. Ishmael was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. He knew he was to die pretty soon.
One day, I started feeling sorry for myself. This is because things were falling apart from the inside although they looked a bit great from outside. I hope you can relate.
Ishmael stopped me and stared me straight in the eye and asked how I was. He had some level of peace radiating from him. This level of peace hit my gut almost immediately. Here I was, a pretty successful and healthy doctor, feeling down because of personal problems. Ishmael stared death in the face, yet he felt joy, love, and peace.
I couldn’t help myself but ask him what made him be in such a good mood. He replied that he doesn’t live for himself. That he had a choice to share love and feel loved every day. It was true! Although I was a stranger, I could feel his strong love right inside me.
This became my turning point, and it made me develop a practice of gratitude and optimism, to focus on positivity and to rediscover how I can play and connect. The quest led me to start a project known as Live Again Project.
Live Again Project is a non-profit fiscally sponsored project that aims at transforming and connecting the world through multiple cancer stories to help those who have terminal cancer. I discovered a sense of meaning and purpose in my life and it has helped me become what I wanted to be as I rewrite my genetic code through my actions and intentions.
Here’s how to rewrite your genetic codes today.
