Meditation is able to change the genes

In this day and hour where disasters seem to compeed to bring us out of balance - running into fear and dispear, it might be usefull to focus on what to do, things we actually can have a real influence on.
On www.dr.dk... there is a summary of a TV show (in danish, sorry... translation below) where heart-specialist researcher at Harvard Medical School referes to a study where actually changes in the human gene-material was present...

My conclusion is: We can make a difference, it´s all about awareness and a focused will-effort
Sorry if this is already posted...

Here is another link where the method applied are described (in english): www.suite101.com...


And below is the Google translation of the above mentioned article:

Meditation alter genes
Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Close thoughts away for awhile and meditate!

The council will have many who suffer from stress and illness - and research shows that the meditative respite works.

Genes changed
When people meditate, it can measure significant physical changes. Blood pressure decreases, pulse rate drops, breath drops and the metabolism drops.

But the meditative state of relaxation will also affect our genes.

A U.S. study has shown that people who have meditated for many years, show changes in 2200 genes. And even among people in a group that has been meditating for just eight weeks, you could see a change in 1561 genes.

Counteracts stress and aging
It is the genes that reduces stress and prevents inflammation and aging, which are influenced and activated during meditation.

In the group in the trial who had never meditated, there was no difference to detect in the genes.

Herbert Benson is cardiologist at Harvard Medical School. He took the initiative to the study in 2008, his team examined all the body's 50,000 genes on the occupants of the three groups.

- We have the capacity to use our minds to keep checking with the fundamental building blocks of our body, namely RNA and DNA, "says Herbert Benson in 'Mind and Science" on DR2.

Brain changes
Also the brain is affected by meditation.

It is in the frontal part of the brain and brainstem, there is a change. So instead that control attention, and brain stem, among other controls breathing and heartbeat.

TBH, I'm really in tune now, and it's, let's say, orgasmic. Meditative state, so to speak. I'm really starting to think that the Ascension may actually be real :gulp:.

I think that the disharmony is also largely about the attitude. We don't need to meditate. Just change our mindsets.

i posted recently on a study which shows that the nervous system, or specifically, the electromagnetic frequency which resonates through the body is used as a medium of information exchange among molecules of DNA.

a professor of mine teaching molecular biology mentioned during class that he is not opposed to the idea of meditation being capable of producing these effects.

I agree with the changing of the mindset part - our mind is ALWAYS meditating anyhow 24/7 so it´s all about whit what we feed it...

Considering ascension... I guess we´ll just have to wait and see
But anyway, time well spent does not come back badly

(this was actually an answer to tryptych)

reply to post by tgidkp


Thankyou very much for the input... this is very exiting!
Not that we haven´t imagined it here on ATS (what have we not imagined?!?), but that it´s actually beginning to show in scientific studies and teachers are open to it... that´s amazing!

Good point.

Yeah, I seriously recommend meditation and yoga to anyone who's up for it. It just might be our ticket to divinity. And to better health, for that matter.

reply to post by Tryptych


Yeah - it opens up some new perspectives...
If meditation, or what ever focused effort over time, is able to change your gene-material, the everything is possible.
For me this is a clear evidence (some may think farfetched) that we really ARE able to change the core of reality, just by using will and rhytmic approach.
The possibilities makes me breathless - think of the applications for this!
And now we´re not even speaking group-meditation, where the power of aligned focus are multiplied by the synergetic effects...
Imagine all people (or only us here on ATS for starters) focusing on light, love, compassion, at-onement at the exact same time all over the world - huge!!!

I agree with the "change of mindset," but wouldn't meditation be a means to that end?

It appears many of you are enjoying and feeling the benefits of meditation. Have any of you explored the Solfeggio harmonics? Said to be the spiritual frequencies of the ancients, I can assure you that I literally feel bio-physiological responses using these tones, as well as images, colors, visualizations - I recently felt like I was going to launch out'a body (unfortunately my own limitations held me back)

I think it is important to meditate regularly. If you practice this, or a starting to, please try the Solfeggios - look for 9+ minute ones on you tube and go with it.

Blessings

Thankyou very much for the input my friend!
I have heard of the Solfeggio harmonies, but have not yet tried meditating to them...
I´ll try and give some feedback...
I have ot followed any specific meditation line, as I close my mind and focus it all seem to happen by it self, have found a lot of inspiration on e.g. Jewel Tree Meditation of Robert Thurman (the audiobook/book on the subject I highly recommend), my experience is that different meditations work for different times - follow the awareness and don´t get too stucked.

reply to post by laffoe

Well said. However, I have found the Solfeggio harmonics resonating and causing physiological responses even when I had drifted off! In fact, it was my body's reaction that brought me back to center a few times.

Our genes are constantly switching on and off. It's called epigenetics. Not only will reconditioning the mind do this, but a variety of other things like dietary changes will cause this to happen as well. Nothing mystical about this.

Intriging!!!
Found this site: www.redicecreations.com...
where water-molecyles are being transformed by the different frequencies.
How will it not affect us being so watery

Maybe anyone with insight ito numerology culd analyze the frequencies deeper

By the way love your avatar!!! Forza Milan

reply to post by laffoe


i Rossineri!

The frequencies shape other elements like sand into beautiful shapes too. The main freq is 528Hz and is the basis for tuning in this scale (which correlated to 443.06Hz as opposed to the common 440Hz).

174 - 258 - 369 - 417 - 528 - 639 - 714 - 852 - 963

Google Lenny Horowitz

reply to post by capod2t


Horrowitz is a charlatan. He deceives people intentionally for money and praise, claiming to know truths that just aren't so. I used to listen to him, but them caught onto his lies. You're free to believe whatever you want, so take this as a warning or not.

OK, interesting information, thankyou my friend!
I still find it exiting how we can alter our fundamental building-bricks with different inputs
Interresting how food will do that too.
IMHO it´s about how we through different approaches (could be meditation, music, food or whatever) can make our physical setup more in-sync with our true nature, both individual and collective.
Mystical (approaching the divine (at-onement) through heart consciousness) could be a way amongst others.
We are both the same and also different, so for me it´s up to everyone to touch into the small voice within, telling whether the road chosen has a heart or not.

I agree Lenny is out there, but he is not the only source for Solfeggio Harmonics - he's just a good place to begin reading about it. There are plenty of other sources of which to reference, as well as published, peer-reviewed manuscripts on DNA response to frequencies.

Careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

reply to post by capod2t


I'm interested to see sources of these peer-reviewed studies which show genetic changes with musical frequencies, if you have any handy.

Thanks in advance!

reply to post by laffoe


This is all very true. Meditation can lead one properly attuned to hyperdimensional abilities and that is where things really start to change. Using tachyons in meditation can lead to wonderful and mystical events.

You also hit another good point in reference to group meditation. This brings the Law of Squares into play. When more than one energy is in play, the energy is not added, the energy grows exponentially.

Good post here.

It would be nice if you could indicate these are your beliefs, rather than stating such things as fact, without any proof whatsoever, which is the definition of propaganda.

reply to post by unityemissions


I do have proof. But you can't prove things when they come from outside of this existence. People need to stop looking for proof by third density measurements. This matrix is binding in relation to Infinity,

I would appreciate you not putting words in my mouth. I am not here to push propaganda.
