IC and Genetic Destiny: Healing in the 21st Century

IC and Genetic Destiny:  Healing in the 21st Century

bigstockphoto_Dna_1913856It’s long been held that genes are fixed and if we have genetic predisposition to specific diseases in our family gene pool that there is a strong likelihoold that we’ll experience the same  Common examples come to mind  Alcoholism, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, prostate cancer, and even the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) or components of the syndrome are inheritable

But the matter science model of disease is coming to the realization that all disease is genetic at some level And that’s because even our behaviors which lead to diseases are genetically driven So when we are addicted to cigarettes, the genetically driven addiction leads to in some cases lung cancer Or our genetically driven choices regarding the foods we eat lead to the IC bladder pain syndrome

Are We Victimized By Our Genes?

But we need not fee victimized by our genes  Only 5% of the time do our genes become the responsible agent for disease The other 95% of the time genes play an influential role in the disease process but don’t actually cause the disease  In other words biology doesn’t spell our destiny

It turns out that genes are highly active to influences around us and, yes, within us  The whole mindbody through its genes are always listening to what’s going on in the environment which causes our gene expression to change on a moment to moment basis  Cold or hot weather affects gene expression, life events such as work stress and parking tickets, the foods that we eat, the entertainment choices that we make all impact our gene expression for the better or worse leading eventually to disease

We are constantly tallking to our genes with every thought, word, and action

Deciding On Our Genetic Input

From the energy science point of view mind is in every cell of the mindbody and resides in our DNA or our genetic pool

So the question becomes “What’s favorable genetic input and unfavorable genetic input”  There are specific guidelines that the energy science helps us

1  When we settle the mind we settle our genes  Meditation produces a calm, peaceful, clear mind that reduces anxiety, fear, loneliness, insecurity, anger, impatience, lethargy, and indecision  A peaceful mind creates a stable genetic structure established in groundedness when exposed to chaos  As we remember the more activity that is going on in the mindbody the more there is genetic activity  The more genetic activity the more room for genetic mistakes  This exposes us to the risk of creating genetic disease out of frenzied lifestyle behaviors

2  So we can do disease prevention and treatment by managing our genes(mind) which influences our body and its physical expression  But we can influence our mind by doing physical things to our mindbody  Since the mind and body are intimately spliced(mind is body and body is mind) there is a to and fro movement between the physical and mind(genes)  So foundational work as prescribed by the energy science can produce behavioral changes that impact how we think  In other words changing what we eat impacts our mind and its clarity  Doing pranayama and yoga asana influences mental clarity and reduces the previously described negative emotions  This is due to marma influence which is another topic for another day
3  Consistent persistent disciplined actions add up to important genetic structural changes that are longlasting since they constantly remind the genes to align in a particular way  This is the heart of healing disease and doing disease prevention as seen in the 21st century  If our genes align in such a way as to predispose us to a disease process, then having them align in a way that causes the genes to influence health or the opposite of disease seems to be the way to genetically manage disease
Genes are in the present moment  They don’t regret the past, worry about the future, but literally are focused on the present  The moment that we have right now is the gift…that’s why we call it a present  The state of our awareness will achieve happiness mediated through our genes  Our entire lifestyle behavior pattern can either create our misery or happiness  We get to choose our genetic expression  What will you choose?
