We register the symptoms as a reflection of the psychology perception we have.
Speaker:I've been specializing in applied physiology to know
Speaker:but those symptoms give you an insight about how you perceive life.
Speaker:My.
Speaker:Topic today is on epigenetics and neuroplasticity,
Speaker:as it relates to your overall health, wellbeing, and vitality.
Speaker:I would like to start with the
Speaker:neuroplasticity first and then I'll go to epigenetics,
Speaker:even though the title's got it in reverse and build this.
Speaker:This has been a very significant topic in my research over the
Speaker:last many, many years, I taught neurology when I was in my twenties.
Speaker:So I've been studying this a long time.
Speaker:And in the 1970s and 80s.
Speaker:We were told that when you were conceived and born and
Speaker:developed that pretty well,
Speaker:the number of nerves in your body were stationary and they eventually
Speaker:died. So you had a gradually declining neurological, you
Speaker:might say counting of nerves, and over time in the 1980s,
Speaker:90s, and into 2000, they realized that neurogenesis occurred.
Speaker:That means new nerves were able to be formed primarily in the hippocampus and
Speaker:certain regions of the brain that were involved in memory.
Speaker:And later they found out that this was occurring, not just in those areas,
Speaker:but in many areas.
Speaker:And that was a real eyeopener because that meant that the brain
Speaker:could adapt and add new nerves.
Speaker:And that was a big insight. And then we started,
Speaker:they started looking exactly what caused that to occur,
Speaker:and they realized that if there was a motive for something, you know,
Speaker:you've heard the statement; If you don't use it, you lose it.
Speaker:But if you do use it and it's useful,
Speaker:the brain will continue to develop. They later
Speaker:found out as you can see in epigenetics and also in
Speaker:the telomeres dealing with stress,
Speaker:that if you reduce your stress levels or distress levels and increase
Speaker:telomerase, you add telomeres to the genes and can live longer.
Speaker:And just like they realize that genes were kind of a modifiable
Speaker:and then they realized later with epigenetics they can modify the genes.
Speaker:They realized the nerves could be doing that and epigenetics were actually
Speaker:involved in the decisions of whether to stimulate new nerves,
Speaker:et cetera.
Speaker:And even though there's about a one nerve for every glial cell in the brain,
Speaker:glial cells are, meant glue originally,
Speaker:but they are just as functional, in fact more functional than even the nerves,
Speaker:and the glial cells are involved in remodeling the
Speaker:brain, helping in the remodeling.
Speaker:They actually involved in myelinating the brain, demyelinating the brain,
Speaker:neurogenesis, apoptosis, which is a cell death and cell birth, neurogenesis
Speaker:is cell birth and apoptosis is cell death,
Speaker:and they're absorbing and rebuilding.
Speaker:And so they realized that the nervous system was remodeling.
Speaker:It didn't have build without destroy, didn't have destroy without build.
Speaker:The evolvement of the brain to adapt to an ever-changing environment that was
Speaker:perceptual was a remodeling of the brain.
Speaker:And they found out that even people that had bipolar condition and
Speaker:schizophrenia,
Speaker:where they had prefrontal cortexes that had been demyelinated and were losing
Speaker:neurons and dying,
Speaker:they found out if all of a sudden they changed it with therapy,
Speaker:they changed it and had those individuals doing something deeply meaningful and
Speaker:inspiring to them and living by high values and neutralizing some of the
Speaker:impulses and instincts that polarized them,
Speaker:they could actually remodel the brain and bring back,
Speaker:literally, neuroplastically,
Speaker:the brain development in the forebrain was able to be developed again.
Speaker:And therefore the idea that you take a scan, a functional MRI for instance,
Speaker:on a person with schizophrenia or something, and you say, well,
Speaker:that's the reason for it,
Speaker:instead of it being causal and now it's really correlated with how you use your
Speaker:brain.
Speaker:And that's inspiring because that means that if you manage your brain more
Speaker:effectively, manage your life more effectively,
Speaker:you can develop the forebrain and keep it active and keep it growing and keep it
Speaker:growing new nerves and epigenetically modify it,
Speaker:and actually remodel the brain.
Speaker:They also found brain sometimes with missing parts,
Speaker:completely missing cerebellums which is a coordination and balancing portion of
Speaker:the brain,
Speaker:and they had balance and coordination relatively speaking and they found out
Speaker:that other parts of the brain were taking on that.
Speaker:And a whole new field was being developed where they could,
Speaker:a person would cut out their eyesight, but their tactile and smell would go up.
Speaker:And now they've even crossed from sensory over to motor.
Speaker:They now realize that if you actually have eyesight that's diminished you can
Speaker:actually develop a tactile feel and get a sense that will actually give
Speaker:visual neurons that are normally firing from the visual cortex activation
Speaker:and you can see without actually seeing, in your mind at least.
Speaker:So they realize now that the brain definitely has neuroplasticity.
Speaker:And this is very inspiring because that means that no matter what's gone on in
Speaker:your life, no matter what you've been through,
Speaker:it may not be really what determines what goes on in the brain.
Speaker:You could actually take, as I've been teaching the Breakthrough Experience,
Speaker:take a perception that you think is traumatic and revamp it,
Speaker:and reassociate things with it and turn it into something that you're grateful
Speaker:for and move forward in your life and develop the executive center.
Speaker:And if you just stayed with the idea that that was a traumatic event,
Speaker:the executive center will demyelinate and lose neurons,
Speaker:and the amygdala will grow and then you'll end up with the hippocampus
Speaker:remembering that the more you dramatize that and play like a victim and your
Speaker:brain is constantly modeling it,
Speaker:which means that you have the capacity to change your brain at any time.
Speaker:And this is very,
Speaker:very inspiring and revolutionary compared to what it was in the 70s and 60s.
Speaker:It used to be that if you found a thing you blamed that, and that was the cause.
Speaker:Now you realize it's not what goes on on outside, it's your perception of it,
Speaker:decision on it. I'm going to come back to that on epigenetics in a moment.
Speaker:So there's a rule that if you,
Speaker:it's called Hebbian rule or hebb rule that two nerves
Speaker:that happen to fire together, wire together. So that means if you take,
Speaker:like we do in the Breakthrough Experience an event that you perceive
Speaker:challenging, terrible, and you ask,
Speaker:'so what's the benefits of it?' And stack up benefits on it,
Speaker:you take new associations,
Speaker:increase new pathways in the brain and the stimulus,
Speaker:instead of a stimulus response with withdrawal and pain and suffering,
Speaker:you now associate new benefits with it and your brain says, 'Oh, great.
Speaker:I use that.' And now you're resourceful. So this is very powerful.
Speaker:You can also take things you're infatuated with and stack up the downsides to it
Speaker:and break your hook that keeps you making, going to the same regurgitant,
Speaker:the same recycling process of relationship pathways. I mean,
Speaker:I know a woman that had gotten married to five Mike's, all alcoholics,
Speaker:five marriages with alcoholics to Mike's. Father's name was Mike,
Speaker:who was an alcoholic that she resented so she ended up keep repeating that.
Speaker:So we can actually take those things we infatuate with and seek that can hook us
Speaker:and we can take those things that we resent and hook us, and we can redo those,
Speaker:change our whole pathway,
Speaker:change the reflexes and conditions in the brain and take command and
Speaker:direct it in the direction we want to go.
Speaker:So the brain is basically modeling itself constantly according to how you fill
Speaker:your day in your perceptions and your actions.
Speaker:So a very simple, in Benson's law you can take an action and repeat,
Speaker:playing a guitar or playing the violin or something like that,
Speaker:and become more masterful and it becomes autonomic and habitual,
Speaker:and you myelinate the brain and neuroplastic the brain.
Speaker:And that area of the brain will grow.
Speaker:And the areas that you're not using will die out because your body uses glucose
Speaker:and oxygen most effectively,
Speaker:it doesn't want to waste energy on something that's not needed.
Speaker:So if you don't use it, you lose it. If you use it, it grows.
Speaker:And that means you can grow your brain and develop your brain in any capacity
Speaker:you want and take command of it.
Speaker:And this is a fantastic
Speaker:science confirming what I've been sharing for many, many years,
Speaker:that if your inner most dominant thought can become your outermost tangible
Speaker:reality, you can think about how you want it and be solution oriented
Speaker:instead of problem oriented and come up with solutions and not more problems.
Speaker:If you dwell on your problems, you're going to get more problems.
Speaker:You dwell on your solutions, you get more solutions as they say.
Speaker:So the beauty of neuroplasticity is that the brain is
Speaker:plastic. It's remodelable. It's not set in stone, it's building and destroying,
Speaker:it's creating new pathways and new branches, new spines on the dendrites,
Speaker:new axon directions, it's new synapses, it's
Speaker:with epigenetics, it's literally modifying the genes inside.
Speaker:I mean, it is just amazing what we can do. So I tell people,
Speaker:and I've been saying in almost all my weekly seminars,
Speaker:if you fill your day with high priority actions that inspire you,
Speaker:your day won't fill up with low priority distractions that don't.
Speaker:If you fill your day with high priority actions that inspire you, you will spot,
Speaker:you will decide and act on things more efficiently.
Speaker:So, and that's not, I'm not saying positive thinking, I'm saying inspired.
Speaker:And there's a difference.
Speaker:Positive thinking can set up a fantasy and negative thinking can set up a
Speaker:nightmare,
Speaker:but inspired thinking is a willingness to embrace both pleasure and pain,
Speaker:the positive and negative in the pursuit of something deeply meaningful.
Speaker:And pursuing meaning is what distinguishes us from the other animals.
Speaker:You know any animal can go after avoid pain, seek pleasure and be hedonistic,
Speaker:and any human can be that also.
Speaker:But the search for that is an addictive behavior in many cases,
Speaker:but a meaningful pursuit that truly is inspiring to you,
Speaker:a why behind what you do is very important in life.
Speaker:So if you give yourself permission to go after and fill your day with things
Speaker:that are really deeply meaningful,
Speaker:what your voids and values in your life are directing you towards,
Speaker:the thing that you spontaneously are inspired to do,
Speaker:your brain will maximize its effectiveness in giving you the outcome.
Speaker:It will literally neuroplastically remodel itself down,
Speaker:all the way down to the genes and the epigenes and epi tags,
Speaker:it will modify itself to help you master your life and get what you want in
Speaker:life. So this is the magnificence of neuroplasticity.
Speaker:It's really amazing.
Speaker:There's been stories of people that were, like I said blind,
Speaker:and they took another sense and they started linking
Speaker:previous memories of when they were seeing to other sensations
Speaker:and activating old neural pathways to see from other
Speaker:senses. And so they once they linked those,
Speaker:if you saw something you could attach an idea of what you once saw there
Speaker:and reactivate that and you actually will see it in your mind,
Speaker:even though your eyes won't see it, your eyes, the pathways will do it.
Speaker:Just like they have Phantom limb pain, you could have an arm that is amputated,
Speaker:but your brain will actually feel that your fingertips of an arm that you once
Speaker:had have pain.
Speaker:I studied Phantom pain and referred pains like that and it's really quite
Speaker:amazing.
Speaker:I studied referred pains extensively when I was in my professional school.
Speaker:And we found reflexes in the body that could cause a person to have pain in a
Speaker:completely different area of the body, because the way the brain is set up.
Speaker:And if we associate new things with that pain,
Speaker:that sensation changes.
Speaker:So both the neurological sensory and motor effects and all the
Speaker:inner neurons in the brain are all re-modifiable.
Speaker:And you can do amazing things with it.
Speaker:And I couldn't develop that today on this little class here,
Speaker:but I could go probably for hours on just that.
Speaker:So neuroplasticity is the ability for your brain
Speaker:to build and destroy and remodel itself and create new synaptic pathways and get
Speaker:rid of old synaptic pathways to help you maximize your potential in your life.
Speaker:And the limits on that we really don't know yet.
Speaker:It just keeps expanding as we go.
Speaker:The research keeps pointing to the idea that nothing's set in stone and we have
Speaker:the capacity to do more.
Speaker:So just because somebody has a deficit doesn't mean that they can't reactivate
Speaker:some of those deficits. And I think in the next 5 or 10, 20 years,
Speaker:we're going to discover more and more and more on things that we once thought we
Speaker:couldn't do anything about now we'll be able to do. So that's very inspiring.
Speaker:And I just want you to know that that lets you know,
Speaker:that your potential is greater than you may have ever thought.
Speaker:And maybe our belief systems about neurology in the past were part of the
Speaker:reasons why we're limiting our potential.
Speaker:And so as we grow and expand our awareness potential,
Speaker:knowledge wise in our neurology,
Speaker:we also get to understand that we're capable of doing more.
Speaker:I really don't know what those limits are as I said.
Speaker:So neuroplasticity is amazing. You literally,
Speaker:what's interesting is if you change your perception,
Speaker:when you do the Demartini Method and you actually ask a new set of questions and
Speaker:become conscious of the unconscious information that you overlooked at the
Speaker:moment you perceived something,
Speaker:and then all of a sudden see it in 1/200th of
Speaker:a second or milliseconds,
Speaker:you literally have dendrites start to form, spines on the dendrites,
Speaker:which are the receiving end of the nerves, new synapses are starting to grow,
Speaker:new pathways are opening up, neurogenesis starting, myelinization is occurring,
Speaker:these are happening, bang like that.
Speaker:So it's not something that takes necessarily months or years to restart,
Speaker:start modifying, it's happens in billions of seconds almost,
Speaker:or millions of seconds.
Speaker:So neuroplasticity is a skyrocketing new
Speaker:field that is going to give us solutions to so-called
Speaker:problems and we realize how powerful our mind is.
Speaker:Our innermost dominant thought does impact our outermost tangible reality.
Speaker:Now let's tie that to epigenetics now, cause that's an important component too.
Speaker:Epigenetics means, epi- means upon, on top of,
Speaker:in addition to et cetera.
Speaker:And I first got involved in epigenetics when I studied genetics
Speaker:obviously because,
Speaker:we're fascinated by when a sperm and an egg unite,
Speaker:during the procreation process, you get a zygote,
Speaker:single cell that forms,
Speaker:half the genes from the mother and half from the father.
Speaker:What happens is that zygote divides and divides and divides,
Speaker:around 52 times until you get to the 7 trillion cells that you have in your
Speaker:body. And every time it divides,
Speaker:the cell that comes out of it is slightly modified.
Speaker:The genes were supposedly thought to be the same,
Speaker:cause when we studied the genes of all those cells
Speaker:they seemed to be basically the same, but yet they were different cells.
Speaker:So how could a cell be different, even thought it comes from the same genes?
Speaker:That's interesting. Well,
Speaker:what they found out is that there were stem cells branching into
Speaker:different cell types through signal molecule release and epigenetic
Speaker:modifications where types of cells would differentiate and cause a different
Speaker:type of cell. For instance,
Speaker:ectoderm cells can make nerves and skin and mesoderm cells can make bones
Speaker:and blood vessel systems and endoderm can make various organs and internal
Speaker:digestive skins, you know, the lining of the intestine.
Speaker:So that means when they can differentiate somehow to make a different type of
Speaker:cell, something has to happen because the genes are the same,
Speaker:but there's something else that's going on.
Speaker:And they found that there were signal molecules being released from a cell that
Speaker:was going to the cell wall of another cell and causing changes
Speaker:and activating a cascading of enzymes and various impacts,
Speaker:eventually causing epimutations,
Speaker:a change in the expression of the genes, even though the genes were the same,
Speaker:an expression of the genes changed.
Speaker:And that's how you could have all the different types of cells, skin cells,
Speaker:hair cells, bone cells, et cetera, by the time you're born,
Speaker:even though they have theoretically the same genes. Now,
Speaker:although there's some mosaicism and there's some individual genomes inside the
Speaker:cells,
Speaker:or not genomes but individual genes and the cells are slightly modified they
Speaker:found now in some people,
Speaker:overall the scheme is that you're basically the same genes through the body,
Speaker:but the epigenes,
Speaker:epigenetics is actually altering this in the expression.
Speaker:And now with the epigenetics,
Speaker:they're finding out that not only is epigenetics occurring during gestation,
Speaker:the nine months of development,
Speaker:but now they're finding out that epigenetics in a
Speaker:mother,
Speaker:the tagging of those genes are now passed down
Speaker:into the sperm and the egg and carried forward. And this is amazing.
Speaker:It's a multi-generational epigenetic mutations.
Speaker:And so what happens is if a father for instance is
Speaker:perceiving a trauma or something highly distressed,
Speaker:and it causes the sympathetic nervous system to be activate,
Speaker:a fight or flight response,
Speaker:activates a certain neurotransmitter like cortisol or norepinephrine,
Speaker:epinephrine or testosterone, and it's a fight response,
Speaker:it can methylate and leave methylations on the histones,
Speaker:which are the little eight proteins sitting in the genome,
Speaker:around the genome that the genes are wrapped around,
Speaker:or on the genes themselves and cause a restriction or a stopping of
Speaker:the transcription of the genes into RNA and into
Speaker:protein. So in other words,
Speaker:we can stop or start or inhibit or facilitate the
Speaker:expression of certain genes,
Speaker:epigenetically based on perceptions of elation or depression
Speaker:or happy or sad or positive, negative,
Speaker:whatever you're perceiving out there is epigenetically affecting the genes.
Speaker:And this not only occurs in cells other than the nervous system,
Speaker:but in the nervous system of the brain. So in other words,
Speaker:if you have a parent that was really highly distressed,
Speaker:a father let's say very stressed and had a major fight with somebody and never
Speaker:got over it,
Speaker:and then procreated shortly after that and had that stored in the subconscious
Speaker:mind as a wound,
Speaker:then that's an epigenetic tag onto its brain and its cells and its
Speaker:genome.
Speaker:And then that can go into the sperm and the sperm can then go in and unite with
Speaker:the mother and the two together.
Speaker:And they found out now in mammals and in humans that
Speaker:we won't even procreate if we don't have epigenetic tags.
Speaker:So the mothers and fathers tags from their emotions is passed down like an
Speaker:inheritance of acquired characteristics like Lemarck said,
Speaker:it carried that down into the next generation.
Speaker:And so we're literally passing means, which are perceptions down through,
Speaker:in addition to the genes. We call it genes and meme transmission.
Speaker:And what's interesting is we're actually getting that information carried down
Speaker:and then how we interpret our own life,
Speaker:we can actually allow that to run our life and be victims of that,
Speaker:or we can actually take those same experiences that are triggering those
Speaker:responses and neutralize those with the Demartini Method at the Breakthrough
Speaker:Experience where you can actually neutralize that and break those tags and
Speaker:remove those epigenetic tags.
Speaker:Cause some of those epigenetic tags are removed. In fact,
Speaker:we found out that in mice, which is an interesting one,
Speaker:in mice,
Speaker:if the female mice mates with a male mice and it's
Speaker:with a male mice that it really wants and likes,
Speaker:it will accept those genetic tags.
Speaker:If it's resenting and it has a withdraw from it,
Speaker:but there's nobody else to mate with and it's in its cycle and it has a mate
Speaker:that it tends to withdrawn from,
Speaker:it'll actually remove some of those tags to try to make those tags less
Speaker:influential. So we realized that we can in the next generation,
Speaker:take on or overrule those tags.
Speaker:And that's amazing, which means, again,
Speaker:we have this amazing capacity to take no matter what's happened to us and turn
Speaker:it into an opportunity. With neuroplasticity and the epigenetics,
Speaker:we can modify whatever happens in our life and turn it into something fantastic.
Speaker:This is the reason why I spend so much time at the Breakthrough Experience going
Speaker:over the Demartini Method and making sure that people learn how to do it,
Speaker:because if they really comprehended what this thing can do,
Speaker:they would be mastering it because they can alter their neuroplasticity and
Speaker:alter their epigenetics by changing their perceptions and attitudes of mind.
Speaker:This is what William James and Wilhelm Wundt said in psychology over a hundred
Speaker:years ago, that we have the capacity not to be a victim of our history,
Speaker:but to be a master of our destiny.
Speaker:So what's interesting is that these epigenetics literally what happens is,
Speaker:when you perceive something, let's just use it this way,
Speaker:I'll try to hold my hands where you can see it.
Speaker:If you perceive something that challenges you
Speaker:that activates the sympathetic nervous system, the fight or flight response.
Speaker:That activates cortisol and norepinephrine epinephrin, testosterone,
Speaker:and those transmitters go into the vascular system,
Speaker:go through the circulatory system, go to a cell wall,
Speaker:attach to a cell, when it attached to a cell,
Speaker:it literally activates a second messenger,
Speaker:which is called cyclic AMP, cyclic AMP,
Speaker:a cyclase mechanism. And what happens is it activates calmodulin,
Speaker:it lets calcium go in, it takes the cell wall, modifies the cell wall,
Speaker:it makes the permeability change,
Speaker:it causes a series of enzymes called kinase enzymes to occur,
Speaker:it phosphatizes certain chemistries,
Speaker:it then causes a methylation on the histones and the
Speaker:DNA to make sure that it wraps tighter the DNA around it so it can't be
Speaker:transcribed because when you're in fight or flight, the genes are shut down.
Speaker:And what's happening is the materials from the gene,
Speaker:the genes themselves are taken by Kennison
Speaker:molecules and transported the materials,
Speaker:all those bio-molecules and materials are transported out to the cell wall to
Speaker:protect the cell wall from defense.
Speaker:Just like if you're in an old 19 or 18th century or 17th century
Speaker:village, and somebody comes to attack,
Speaker:everybody leaves the feast and the procreation,
Speaker:it goes out to the wall to defend itself. The cells actually do that.
Speaker:And what happens is it stops and shuts down certain chemistry, alters the cell,
Speaker:we create symptoms as a result of that,
Speaker:we register the symptoms as a reflection of the psychology perception we have.
Speaker:I've been specializing in applied physiology to know
Speaker:but those symptoms give you an insight about how you perceive life.
Speaker:And those symptoms are epigenetically altered expressions of genes
Speaker:showing up in physiology.
Speaker:Now if something over here comes along and something supports you and you now
Speaker:have a rest and digest and a feed and breed parasympathetic activation,
Speaker:you get a counterbalancing complementary opposite chemistry.
Speaker:You get dopamine and serotonin and oxytocin enkephalins,
Speaker:and those chemistries go in there and they go to the cell wall the same way
Speaker:through the food systems.
Speaker:They go and activate cyclic GMP, calmodulin and activate phosphatase,
Speaker:which is the counterbalancing to kinase.
Speaker:And they go in there to the genes and then through the nuclear pore in the
Speaker:nucleus of the cell and activate the histones to unspool the DNA and
Speaker:the histones. And what happens is then it opens up and it transcribes,
Speaker:and it creates a new expression.
Speaker:And the materials come from the cell wall now by a dynein molecule and pull
Speaker:the materials into the genome so there's mitotic division and there's growth.
Speaker:So one is anabolic if there's parasympathetic, one is catabolic.
Speaker:One is for build, one is for destroy.
Speaker:And our perceptions are literally altering ourselves,
Speaker:not only in the tissues of the body, but also in the brain.
Speaker:So we literally are remodeling our body. Neuroplasticity isn't the only thing.
Speaker:It's bio-plasticity. When you have challenge, you create osteoclasts,
Speaker:which destroy your bone. When you're supported,
Speaker:you create osteoblasts that build your bone. If you have an imbalance of those,
Speaker:you can create bone conditions, blastic or clastic conditions, even cancers.
Speaker:But if those are balanced, if you have balanced emotions,
Speaker:the epigenetics balances and the plasticity of your nervous
Speaker:system balances and moves into the forebrain and allows you to have the most
Speaker:executive functions, the most governed behavior, less animal-like,
Speaker:and your whole physiology changes. So your entire wellness,
Speaker:your entire vitality is empowered by having a balanced
Speaker:mind.
Speaker:And it's one of the reasons why in the Breakthrough Experience I take whatever
Speaker:you're infatuated with or resent and I ask you the other side. See,
Speaker:when you're infatuated, you're conscious of the upside,
Speaker:you're unconscious of the downside. When you're resentful,
Speaker:you're conscious of the downside and unconscious of the upside.
Speaker:So the Demartini Method in the Breakthrough Experience
Speaker:you're unaware of. It's not that the information is not there,
Speaker:you've subjectively biased it with your perception when you're infatuated or
Speaker:resentful. And when you do,
Speaker:you move out of the executive brain and you go into the amygdala where you
Speaker:polarize it further and distort it further and get into vicious cycles that
Speaker:become highly emotive and now you've got a hook where you're seeking or avoiding
Speaker:and the world around you is running you, instead of you running you.
Speaker:But the moment I ask,
Speaker:what was the unconscious and like intuitive questions to bring out the
Speaker:unconscious and allow you to see both sides and bring your mind back into
Speaker:balance, your epigenetics don't code it one way or the other.
Speaker:It releases those tags, those epi tags, those epimutations,
Speaker:which are carried down means and motions from parents.
Speaker:You free them.
Speaker:You get to live by your highest value because when you're balanced you're in
Speaker:your executive function, you're objective and you become masterful oriented,
Speaker:self-governed, more inspired vision.
Speaker:You end up having a higher wellness quotient. You don't
Speaker:And the purpose of the symptoms were feedback mechanisms to let you know that
Speaker:you've had an imbalanced perspective.
Speaker:And your epigenetics is working on your behalf to let you know whenever you're
Speaker:distorting your reality with infatuations resentments.
Speaker:Because if you're infatuated with somebody you're not seeing who they really
Speaker:are,
Speaker:you're seeing only the upsides and you're blind to the downsides and same thing
Speaker:for resentment, you're not really seeing who they are.
Speaker:I'm sure you've had people you've infatuated with, and days, and weeks,
Speaker:months later, you found out they weren't who you thought.
Speaker:But you don't need days, weeks, and months to learn that.
Speaker:You can ask that question on the spot and see it right there and be more wise.
Speaker:The longer it takes for you to see the side that you've been ignorant of,
Speaker:the denser you are.
Speaker:Cause you're in the black and white thinking instead of gray.
Speaker:And what's interesting is if you actually see both sides simultaneously,
Speaker:you're in your most objective state, most executive function,
Speaker:you're poised, you're present, you're empowered. You're not distracted.
Speaker:You're not impulsive or instinctual, which is animal like,
Speaker:you're more angelic like, and you're more inspired.
Speaker:And you're more grateful because you see things,
Speaker:you see the hidden order in the apparent chaos.
Speaker:Cause its chaos to be in highly infatuated or highly resentful.
Speaker:If you've been highly infatuated, it's hard to sleep at night.
Speaker:Can't even get it out of your mind, it's hard to sleep,
Speaker:you have sleep deprivation. You're highly resentful,
Speaker:you also have sleep deprivation.
Speaker:But if you're poised and present and have reflective awareness and you're
Speaker:not throwing your minds into imbalance like that, you're centered, you rest
Speaker:more effectively and your epigenetic coding systems release and
Speaker:you free yourself off of the epi marks, the epi tags,
Speaker:the methylation or acetylation from the challenges and the supports,
Speaker:the things that make you.
Speaker:What's interesting is they found out that with the mice or whatever,
Speaker:when they all of a sudden have these epi marks,
Speaker:their perceptions in their life after they've inherited that,
Speaker:again can overrule them. So that means that you can't blame things 'Well,
Speaker:my grandmother was this way and that's why I'm this way',
Speaker:or 'my father was this way that's why',
Speaker:you can say that those are epigenetic marks, but they're not stationed.
Speaker:They're not permanent.
Speaker:If you choose to give power to the drama and blame,
Speaker:they stay there and then they run you and they become a self-fulfilling
Speaker:prophecy.
Speaker:But if you go in there and neutralize whatever those things are in your own
Speaker:life, you can transform those tags. Those tags are removable.
Speaker:They're not fixed like they were.
Speaker:And now they know that epigenetics can actually modify the arrangement of the
Speaker:DNA and cause transpositions and rearrangements.
Speaker:So we may be rediscovering in the future that the genes are not stationary after
Speaker:all, they're constantly evolving,
Speaker:which is why you can have a bacteria put into a environment and all of a
Speaker:sudden a few of them live and they're stronger,
Speaker:and then they can modify and they can start secreting enzymes to
Speaker:counterbalance the toxic material that was designed to kill them,
Speaker:and then they are mutating, superbugs.
Speaker:And we have the same capacity it's just not as quick as the superbug.
Speaker:We have the capacity to take whatever's happened in our life and turn it into an
Speaker:opportunity and use it and be fueled by it.
Speaker:And this is why this topic today is important. Epigenetics
Speaker:because the brain itself is undergoing epigenetic alterations
Speaker:in the pathway. So if you've got something that you perceive is very,
Speaker:very traumatic and very, very challenging, and you don't see the benefits to it,
Speaker:not because it's not there,
Speaker:because you're unconscious of it and unwilling to look for it,
Speaker:then what's going to happen is there's certain parts of the brain are going to
Speaker:shut down, they're going to demyelinate, they're going to die,
Speaker:you're going to lose those functions because you're not using them.
Speaker:But at the same time, if you go back, change your perception of them,
Speaker:those will re comeback, rebuild, and it's neuroplastic.
Speaker:And that's why it's so important to master your perceptions,
Speaker:your decisions and your actions.
Speaker:Those are the three things you have control over in your life.
Speaker:If you prioritize your actions, your motor neurons can be remodeled.
Speaker:If you prioritize your perceptions, your perceptions can be remodeled.
Speaker:And if you prioritize your decisions to do things that are inspiring to you,
Speaker:your interneurons and associations in your brain are completely remodeled.
Speaker:Our whole subconscious mind store all the lopsided perceptions,
Speaker:but the second we balance those all out and take them one by one,
Speaker:which is what I do methodically in the Breakthrough Experience with the
Speaker:Demartini Method.
Speaker:The moment we modify those things out and balance all those out,
Speaker:the subconscious mind and all those epigenetic codes are being released.
Speaker:And you're back to being who you are, the authentic you.
Speaker:Because there's the authentic you and then there's the one that's basically
Speaker:exaggerating itself when it looks down on people or minimizing itself when it
Speaker:looks up at people and those re where all the tags are.
Speaker:So all the epimutations and all the tags are expressions of your personas and
Speaker:masks that you wear.
Speaker:But if you actually neutralize them with the Demartini Method in the
Speaker:Breakthrough and neutralize those out and get back to authenticity and are
Speaker:grateful and inspired and loving and certain and present, empowered,
Speaker:enthusiastically acting towards what's really important to you,
Speaker:you transform those epigenetic tags and get yourself back
Speaker:into your real expression of genes, your gene potential.
Speaker:So I just wanted to take a few moments to share something on
Speaker:neuroplasticity and epigenetics because they
Speaker:run our behavior and we can take command of them.
Speaker:So I just wanted to go over that because it's inspiring.
Speaker:I've watched a video recently on something on epigenetics,
Speaker:it was just mind blowing about how we can transform.
Speaker:So I just want you to know that you have nothing on the outside,
Speaker:I've said this in my Breakthrough Experience's for 30 years plus,
Speaker:that nothing your mortal body can experience that your
Speaker:And when you love things, you're in command,
Speaker:when you judge things and infatuate or resentful to things,
Speaker:the external world runs your life. And the voice and the vision on the inside,
Speaker:when it's louder than all opinions and things on the outside,
Speaker:that's when you master your life.
Speaker:So please consider coming to the Breakthrough Experience and learning the
Speaker:Demartini Method to help you transform your epimutations and your epigenetics
Speaker:and neutralize those tags that may be running your life today and get on with
Speaker:doing something that's authentic and inspiring to you. And to help you do that,
Speaker:just know that the greater your vision in life,
Speaker:the more resilient and adaptable and authentic you'll be.
Speaker:If you're living and just living day to day and just surviving,
Speaker:you're not going to get the most out of your life. But if you have a thriving,
Speaker:inspired vision, that you have a big enough reason to go after,
Speaker:a why big enough,
Speaker:then you will find solutions and strategies to go and
Speaker:to help you on that. I want to give you a little gift.
Speaker:There's an audio program called Awakening Your Astronomical Vision.
Speaker:And this is a special gift it's worth about 50 bucks. We normally sell it.
Speaker:If you go to demartini.nk/gift to reclaim it,
Speaker:I am absolutely certain that this little gift will be valuable.
Speaker:You'll watch it more than once, I promise you.
Speaker:It's a live presentation I did in a planetarium in Johannesburg to a series of
Speaker:YPO leaders of businesses.
Speaker:It's about giving yourself permission to have an astronomical vision,
Speaker:to do something extraordinary on planet earth. It was inspiring.
Speaker:It was well-received. I'm absolutely certain you will listen to it.
Speaker:I talk about what impact it has by going after something that's
Speaker:inspiring to you in your life and filling your day with high priority actions.
Speaker:When you fill your day with high priority actions that inspire you,
Speaker:your epigenetics are working on behalf of you.
Speaker:So you want to make sure that you live by priority.
Speaker:This is the best way to get your neuroplasticity and
Speaker:to awaken an astronomical vision.
Speaker:So grab that opportunity to grab the astronomical vision, it's complimentary.
Speaker:I'm absolutely certain that if you listened to this five or six times,
Speaker:like some people do, it will have an impact on the trajectory of your life.
Speaker:And thank you again for being with me today. This topic,
Speaker:I could probably go a lot longer on this topic,
Speaker:but at least we got at least some of it in. Anyway,
Speaker:I hope it was inspiring for you.
