HOW YOUR THOUGHTS PROGRAM YOUR CELLS

A thought is an electrochemical event taking place in your nerve cells producing a cascade of physiological changes.

There are thousands upon thousands of receptors on each cell in our body.

Each receptor is specific to one peptide, or protein.

When we have feelings of anger, sadness, guilt, excitement, happiness or nervousness, each separate emotion releases its own flurry of neuropeptides.

Those peptides surge through the body and connect with those receptors which change the structure of each cell as a whole.

?? Where this gets interesting is when the cells actually divide.

If a cell has been exposed to a certain peptide more than others, the new cell that is produced through its division will have more of the receptor that matches with that specific peptide.

Likewise, the cell will also have less receptors for peptides that its mother/sister cell was not exposed to as often.

So, if you have been bombarding your cells with peptides from negative thoughts, you are literally programming your cells to receive more of the same negative peptides in the future.

 What's even worse is that your'e lessening the number of receptors of positive peptides on the cells, making yourself more inclined towards negativity.

?? Every cell in your body is replaced about every two months.

So, the good news is, you can reprogram your pessimistic cells to be more optimistic by adopting positive thinking practices, like mindfulness and gratitude, for permanent results.

Your Thoughts Activate Your Genes

You are speaking to your genes with every thought you have.

The fast growing field of epigenetics is showing that who you are is the product of the things that happen to you in your life, which change the way your genes operate.

Genes are actually switched on or off depending on your life experiences, and your genes and lifestyle form a feedback loop.

Your life doesn't alter the genes you were born with. What changes is your genetic activity, meaning the hundreds of proteins, enzymes, and other chemicals that regulate your cells.

Only about 5 percent of gene mutations are thought to be the direct cause of health issues.

That leaves 95 percent of genes linked to disorders acting as an influencers, which can be influenced one way or another, depending on life factors.

Of course, many of these are beyond your control, like childhood events, but some are entirely within your control, such as diet, exercise, stress management, and emotional states.

?? The last two factors are directly dependent on your thoughts.

Your biology doesn't spell your destiny, and you aren't controlled by your genetic makeup.

Instead, your genetic activity is largely determined by your thoughts, attitudes, and perceptions.

Epigenetic's is showing that your perceptions and thoughts control your biology, which places you in the driver's seat.

By changing your thoughts, you can influence and shape your own genetic readout.

You have a choice in determining what input your genes receive. The more positive the input, the more positive the output of your genes.

Epigenetics is allowing lifestyle choices to be directly traced to the genetic level and is proving the mind-body connection irrefutable.

At the same time, research into epigenetics is also emphasising how important positive mental self-care practices are because they directly impact our physical health.

Meditation and Mindfulness put you in contact with the source of the mind-body system, giving your thoughts direct access to beneficial genetic activity which also affects how well your cells function, via the genetic activity inside the cells.

Use Your Thoughts For You

You have much more power than ever believed to influence your physical and mental realities.

Your mindset is recognised by your body -- right down to the genetic level, and the more you improve your mental habits, the more beneficial response you'll get from your body.

You can't control what has happened in the past, which shaped the brain you have today, programmed your cells, and caused certain genes to switch on.

However, you do have the power in this moment and going forward to choose your perspective and behaviour, which will change your brain, cells, and genes.
