DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid, thankfully referred to as DNA, is known as the genetic blueprint for all living things. Current research, however, has shown that our genetic makeup does not have to be our destiny. Environmental and lifestyle influences can actually modify our genes without changing the basic blueprint. It is important to know that any change to one individual DNA molecule will be instantly replicated by all the DNA molecules in the body. By most estimates, the human body contains at least 50 trillion cells. Every cell contains the 23 pairs of chromosomes that compose DNA. Thus, there are at least 2,300 trillion copies of DNA in our bodies.

Studies conducted separately by Russian biologist Vladimir Poponin, the U.S. Army and Rein & McCraty of the Institute of HeartMath, have shown that stress has a profound effect on our DNA. Each individual DNA molecule, which looks like a slightly twisted ladder called a double helix, winds & twists tightly when exposed to excess stress. This winding tension inhibits the flow of light energy which as we discussed earlier, any decrease in energy flow leads to tension, dysfunction, illness and dis-ease. The opposite was also true, any techniques that cause relaxation and more ease would in turn have an unwinding effect on the DNA molecule.

One of the most amazing aspects of the U.S. Army’s research was that even when an individual DNA molecule was separated from the body, its shape would change when stress was applied to the person. Even when separated by hundreds of miles, the DNA molecule would instantly react as if it were still connected to the body in some way. This goes to show that we are more interconnected than we know and no part of our body is independent from the whole. Also, this distant effect gives support to remote healing sessions that we will discuss in detail later.
