This article is part of our Infinite Love & Gratitude Spotlight series on transformational thought leaders of our time.

We don't have a choice in selecting our genes. Humans are essentially genetic automatons...their genes control them. They are victims of their biochemistry and they need a rescuer.

With this view of science, it's no surprise that many people have given themselves over to the promise of pharmaceuticals and medical procedures to "make do" with the genes they were born with.

Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., author of The Biology of Belief and internationally recognized cell biologist, taught this mainstream medical mantra to his students as a medical school professor.

The underlying message...medicine is the only hope to keep people healthy.

Until a mind-blowing science experiment shattered the old science and paved the way for the new: epigenetics.

Forty years ago, Bruce Lipton made a discovery that was the foundation for today's epigenetics, in what he describes as a simple experiment. After taking identical stem cells and changing only the environment they were in, he got different results.

To think of this in simple terms, if a set of twins were separated and one grew up in the United States and another grew up in France, the children would be different.

They would perceive the world differently and have different cultural norms.

In a nutshell, Bruce realized that the fate of the cell was NOT based on the genes. In actuality, the fate of the cell was based on the environment they were living in. So if you change the environment, you change the cells.

This was a complete contradiction to what he was teaching his medical students...and directly in conflict with the belief that genes control our lives.

Enter the new field of biology: Epigenetics.

The Science of Epigenetics

Over the past 10-15 years, the science of epigenetics has been making it into the mainstream.

Epigenetics literally means, above the genes. So if we look at epigenetic control, it means control above the genes. Epigenetic control mechanisms are processes by which an organism responds to its environment and then controls and influences its own genetic activity.

In fact, epigenetics shows that each one of us is empowered to create our best health...regardless of our genes!

How is this possible?

Epigenetic control tells us it's the environment that controls the genes. If you change environment or what you think, perceive and believe about your environment, you change your biology.

According to Dr. Lipton, this takes us into a new vision: from victims of genes to a NEW biology that says you are the master of your genes. By changing the way you think or live your life, you can control your happiness and health.

Your Cells As Living Entities

Your body is made up of 50 trillion cells, each one its own entity. In fact, Dr. Lipton tells us, you could think of each cell as an individual...and the 50 trillion cells as a whole community of individuals inside your body.

This makes you and me an entire community of separate cells.

Governing this community of cells (the citizens that make up your body) is your mind. As "the government," your mind's role is to influence the activity and expression of your cells...to interpret your environment and talk to your cells about what they should do. So your mind influences your biology.

The Role of Symptoms and Emotions

Your cells, the citizens of your body, also talk to your mind (the government). They do this through their own special language of symptoms and emotions.

Just like the dashboard on your car, your body has "gages and indicators" in the form of emotions and symptoms. They tell you how you are doing. If you pay attention to your emotions, you can see how your body responds.

When you get angry for example, your body gets hot (symptoms). Your body is actually giving you a sensory signal that it's time to "pull over and cool off."

Your emotions and symptoms are literally feedback.

So if you take medication for symptoms, you are shutting off the signals. This is the equivalent to putting duct tape over the gages on your car. Just like trouble ensues when any government doesn't listen to its citizens, your body gets into trouble by NOT listening to the signals from the citizens in your body (your cells).

Sounds simple, doesn't it? Well, it gets complicated because your mind is not 100% conscious. In other words, there are things happening in your mind that you don't even know about.

The Key To Healing: Your Conscious and Subconscious Mind

Your conscious mind is 2% - 5% of your thoughts. This is the part of you that has awareness and makes choices despite your circumstances.

Your subconscious mind, however, is 95% - 98% of your thoughts. And here's the rub: you don't even know what's there...this is below choice.

Often, it is your subconscious mind that is controlling how you respond to your environment. To learn more about symptoms, your conscious mind and your subconscious mind, read: The Gift of Stress in Tough Economic Times.

Your subconscious mind is powerful -- it holds programming that may put you into autopilot (no longer consciously aware) as you perceive certain information, events or circumstances.

While this could send us right back into feeling like a victim, there's a way that we can embrace the new science of epigenetics and continue to thrive.

The key is twofold:

1. Live your life in present time consciousness. Tune into the sensory signals your body is giving you (emotions and symptoms) and heed this feedback. Consciously choose thoughts and experiences that make you feel your best.
   
   
2. Understand and honor your subconscious mind. Recognize that its role is an important one: to protect you. And learn to tap into subconscious suppressed emotions so that you can heal and thrive.

The LifeLine Technique^TM, created by Dr. Darren Weissman, is an integrated system of healing based on Bruce Lipton's work.

Dr. Weissman recognized that to truly heal and thrive, there had to be a way to connect to and release limiting beliefs (including limiting emotions and perceptions) held in the subconscious mind.

The LifeLine Technique^TM is the bridge between science and spirit because it allows you to truly master your life and your health...instead of living based on limiting beliefs (or programs) in your subconscious mind.

How you perceive experiences matters. It dictates what your mind says to your cells. And the signals they give back to you matter (emotions, symptoms).

It's more than just a new science.

The profound discovery of epigenetics and Dr. Bruce Lipton's work shows us that we have the power to create our life experience...and The LifeLine Technique^TM is key to fully harnessing that power.
