Bruce Lipton is the author of the million-copy bestseller The Biology of Belief, as well as Beyond Darwin and other books. A former professor at Stanford University Medical School, he was one of the pioneering researchers in the field of epigenetics. His experiments showed that the environment around the cell, not just DNA itself, shapes gene expression.   Here he and Dawson discuss: Moving beyond the belief that genes control our lives Bruce’s groundbreaking stem-cell research and how identical cells developed differently in different environments How the environment influences genetic expression and the chemistry of the body The connection between our beliefs, perceptions, brain chemistry, and cellular health The difference between growth mode and protection mode and how chronic stress affects the body How modern life creates prolonged stress and why humans were not designed for chronic protection Stepping outside existing systems and creating new possibilities for humanity Consciousness, spirituality, and the concept of an energy field influencing our experience The importance of mindfulness, meditation, grounding, nature, and reconnecting with something greater than ourselves The conscious mind as the creative mind and the subconscious mind as the programming and habit mind How childhood experiences and observation shape subconscious programs that can influence our lives Recognizing where we are living from old programming versus consciously creating the life we want Moving beyond the “matrix” of habitual programming through awareness, self-empowerment, and a new way of living   Bruce's website is: https://www.brucelipton.com/   Connect with Dawson at: http://dawsongift.com/   To purchase Dawson the 20th Anniversary Edition of The Genie in Your Genes:  https://www.amazon.com/Genie-Your-Genes-Epigenetic-Consciousness/dp/1604153202/   #mindtomatter #blissbrain #spiritualintelligence #eft #meditation #highenergyhealth #biologyofbelief #beyonddarwin
