In this episode, we explore the concept of epigenetics and the notion of genetic memory.  Did you know that the expression of certain genes is directly tied to certain experiences of our ancestors?  Trauma endured can leave "genetic scars" along DNA that future offspring must navigate.  These experiences can also alter genes to increase survivability.  A basic understanding of epigenetics can help us as martial artists and human beings to better understand ourselves and tendencies and the universal concept that our actions and inactions have profound consequences not only in this generation, but potentially for generations to come.
