This actually came up for me quite intensely this week as I had a call with
I connected to Lesley after I had an intuitive download for myself that I shared here in the Thrive Community, in which I for the first time linked my emotional eating to my grandfather: As kids we were told the story that when he finally was released from Russian war captivity after WWII in 1947, he ate a huge pot of split pea soup my grandma had just made. And thatโs why was always a โrounderโ person (only later did I learn that it actually made him quite sick and he almost died form it ๐คฏ).
Wanting to tune into this and possible other subconscious reasons for my pattern of emotional eating which Lesley does with muscle testing, she discovered that this pattern emerged at least 4 generations back from my mothers/grandfatherโs side ๐คฏ!
Wow. Will need some effort to clear THAT energy ๐

In a nutshell, epigenetics are a sort of tags that can be added to your DNA and activate or inactivate the tagged genes (โone level aboveโ, so to say, hence epi โ genetic). These tags are one reason, for example, why identical twins (especially when growing up under different circumstances) are never fully identical even thought they share the exact same DNA.
Initially, researchers believed those tags to go away when your genes are passed on to the next generation โ but it turns out that they for sure can stick around (literally ๐) to be passed on to your kids, and now scientists even found indications that they can still be present in your grandkids!
Add mitochondrial DNA to the picture โ the genes specifically found in the little organelles that are the powerhouses of each of your cells โ and you have even more things passed on from your lineage (in this case, mtDNA actually ONLY comes from your mother).

And if those are not serving us โ we need to break these cycles, and redefine so that they do start working for us. This is all about conscious (co-)creation, mindset and choices, and then some tools to put it into practice.
Thatโs what we do in our community, the LIFEsurfers. If you are intrigued by the blend of science and spirituality to create the magic in your life you desire, then we'd love to invite you to come join us for our 7 day free trial, where we help you activate your intuition so you can start surfing all the challenging waves that crash onto your life shore.
