Rejuvenate Your Life By Activating Your Genes

In your genes, and I am not referring to your Levi's, you have DNA lying dormant that, when activated, can rejuvenate your body and reinvigorate your life. Nature equipped you before you were born with a set of unimaginably complex and intelligent instructions in the form of DNA. Contained within this blueprint is everything you need to take you to new levels of vitality and health.

All of your ancient ancestors had one thing in common--they were survivors who overcame daunting obstacles and hardships in their natural world. Your DNA is a legacy passed down to you from thousands of generations of fittest individuals. You have the best of their collective genes, all meticulously spelled out within the DNA of your genome.

Yours is a bloodline of courageous souls who conquered tough times by growing tougher themselves. Their hardiness lives on in you, but you will never see it fully manifest while just coasting along on the path of least resistance. No, if you want to grow stronger, you will have to push yourself physically, like your ancestors did. Additionally, if you want to become more vigorous and resilient you will have to consume fewer calories and more nutritious and natural foods. Finally, you have to avoid the victim mentality; and exchange any passive, self obsessed, depressed, pessimistic, and fatalistic attitudes for a hopeful, helpful, can-do, upbeat and energetic outlook. Don't settle for a life dragging around feeling tired, broken, weak, ill, or overwhelmed.

Unbeknownst to you, deep within your being you already have what it takes to restore vigorous health and well-being. This generic destiny can crystallize into reality when immerse yourself in conditions that more closely simulate the natural human existence of your ancestors. Through your action and attitudes you can speak to your genes and call forth those seeds that are coded for strength and wellness lying dormant within you.

A weak, wilting , and sickly cactus struggling to survive in the mild and rainy climate and the rich soil of the Pacific Northwest will automatically begin to thrive when transplanted back to its native Arizona desert. The parched desert with its unrelenting sunlight is a climate that would kill most life, but because these are conditions for which it is genetically designed the cactus not only survives, it thrives. This environment resonates with the cactus's genetic identity, thereby awakening dormant genes. Soon the plant regains its luster, resiliency, and vigor as it prospers again in its natural home. Nothing in the world will revitalize a life form-plant or animal--as well as returning it to its natural environment and diet.

Like the cactus each one of us has powers of self-healing and renewal lying latent within our chromosomes. You are living in an unnatural world under conditions that are foreign to your genetic heritage and this bewilders your genes and causes them to malfunction.

A cushy, inactive lifestyle with a glut of nutritionally barren calories signals our genes to lapse into the decay mode, predisposing to lethargy and disease. Rich, high-calorie foods and temporary reprieves from strenuous physical work were rare and unexpected windfalls for our ancestors. Today, these luxurious conditions, which were once uncommon treats, dominate the day-to-day life of most Americans.

As a species, we have had insufficient time to genetically adapt to these modern affluent living conditions, sometimes referred to as 'affluenza'. Thus, most people can neither resist their instinct's to eat too much and exercise too little, nor physically cope with the corrosive health effects of these behaviors. To be sure, we are becoming victims of our own success.

Getting out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself by reconnecting with the natural world will automatically revitalize you health. When you engage in an environment that includes vigorous physical activity and fresh air, naturally nutritious, low-calorie whole foods, and an attitude of optimism, belonging, and purpose, those previously dormant and quiescent genes revive and reboot. These are the conditions that signal to your genes that spring has arrived, and it is time to kick-start your cells back into the thrive mode, which leads to growth and regeneration.

Exercise has a particularly potent effect on activating these hibernating genes that can rejuvenate your mind and body. Daily moderate to heavy physical exertion has been estimated to substantially change the function of almost half of the 27,000 genes in the human genome. This means that a consistent regimen of daily exercise will literally rebuild a 'whole new you'.

You have far more strength and resiliency within you than you realize. You have been pre-programmed to be able to rise to new levels of strength, vigor, endurance, and health. Rebuild yourself from the inside out by channeling your ancient ancestors and reactivating your genes.

New research has shown that your mind can effect your DNA. I am a perfect example of an enhanced mind body connection because I was able to cause my body to rebuild itself back on to the original blueprint contained in my DNA thru visualizing while in a meditative state.
