So when I see someone in my office who has a long term chronic health issue like cancer,
ms, fibromyalgia or lupus one of the things I is all of the sources of stress that are
coming into their life. Because I know that is taking away from their bodies resources
to send towards healing. Well a recent piece of research that Iooked at changed my whole
outlook on this.
So the question of whether our behaviors and beliefs come from our parents or our environment
is the classic debate of nature vs nuture. Well research at Emory University recently
found that when mice were exposed to a fearful situation and very specific smell at the same
time, the next 2 generations actually had an aversion to that smell without ever previously
being exposed to it. When I look at this research I love it because
I see that it helps to show that our perceptions and our experiences have a major impact on
our health. The way that we experience things in life can make changes even down to the
genetic level and that is so cool! So what I'm most interested in is looking
at this from an individual life perspective. If it true that our parents pass along our
beliefs and our fears to us then we are a product of both nature and nurture. We are
getting it in our genes and we are also getting every day when we are exposed to it because
its their experience and their belief. So think about this from your case. What are
the things that plagued your parents experience of life? Maybe it was fear of money, maybe
it was a challenge giving and receiving love, maybe it was being really angry. Where are
any of these things showing up for you. The really important thing is to be aware of it,
then you can make a change. So the question I ask in these videos often is "why is a chiropractor
talking about this?". Well its a good point, like I said one of the things I love helping
people with is long term chronic conditions like cancer, MS, Lupus and Fibromyalgia.
Like I said, I like to look at things from all manner of stresses. So stress can come
into our lives physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. When we are stressed its
taking away from our resources to be healthy and be well and live the life that we want
and its decreasing our body's ability to heal. So when I look at these stresses, I'm asking,
"where are they coming from?" So one more time I'm going to ask you what are the things
in your parents life that just plagued them. Are there any overlaps for you in your life?
Noticing the pattern is the most important thing. When you can see the pattern then you
can make a choice about it. Now the choice for you is, do you want to make the change
or do you want to pass it on to your kids? I really enjoyed spending this time with you
and I look forward to talking to you again in another video.
