“You are born into an amazing machine with incredible abilities and no manual. Do you have any idea of what you are capable of?” (Don T. Bidoux)

Your genetic hand was dealt thousands of years ago and is a magical box of possible expressions accumulated from many sources.

Gene expression is when your circumstances cause your cells to ask your DNA to retrieve one of millions of possible reactions, traits and evolutionary patterns stored in your gene bank. When nothing is asked, nothing is retrieved, which means that you are not predestined by your genes any more than a person walking into a library is predestined to borrow a specific book. 

Your genes will listen and react to every part of your living conditions. If you’re forced to work in a hostile and chemically polluted environment with poor sleep and a challenging social life your gene expressions will not be the same as if you grow and eat your own vegetables near a remote beach where you surf with unicorns every day. 

It’s not only where you are and what you do, it’s also how you feel about it. If you believe there is a monster under your bed you will raise your heartbeat, produce adrenaline and cortisol and other fight and flight hormones. This will signal to your cells that there is danger. The danger signals will be sent to your DNA to check if there is anything they should do about it. This can lead to your genes expressing themselves to fight the monster in your mind. This is how meditation, gratitude and positive thinking are conditioners for your cell health....
