You shower, brush your teeth, make coffee, eat breakfast, get dressed, drive to work, and so on. Maybe this situation sounds familiar: You head to work at the same time every day, and the routine to get out the door is more or less memorized. Because if you intuitively know what you need to do to change for the better-why don’t you do it? It’s not a moral failure it’s because you’re stuck repeating these more or less automatic behavioral patterns. You can’t eat better, stop drinking, love your partner, or improve yourself in any way until you become transparent to yourself. It is only when you are conscious that you are able to see yourself, a process of self-awareness that can suddenly reveal so many of the previously hidden forces constantly at work molding you, manipulating you, and holding you back. We can and should help heal our bodies and our minds to create wellness for ourselves. Once we understand this, the more inadequate the traditional deterministic approach of “recircuiting” faulty wiring through interventions such as medicine and surgery seems. We can make choices about our sleep, nutrition, relationships, and the ways we move our body that all alter gene expression. We are, of course, given a set of genes, but, like a deck of cards, to some degree we can choose which hands we want to play. The groundbreaking discovery of epigenetics tells a new story about our ability to change. Emerging science tells us that the genes we inherit aren’t fixed they are influenced by their environment, beginning in utero and continuing throughout our lives. No longer do we need to accept the narrative of “faulty genes” as our fate. There is an awakening going on right this moment.
