Nothing is Fixed - not even your DNA

We’ve been taught to believe that our genes are set in stone. That if our mother had anxiety, we will too. If our grandfather developed a certain illness, it’s only a matter of time before we do. If our ancestors aged poorly, so will we.

But here’s the truth: nothing is fixed - not even your genetic expression.

We don’t just inherit eye colour or bone structure. We inherit belief systems, energetic patterns, and outdated worldviews. These hand-me-downs can shape the way we see the world, and the way our bodies respond to it.

Ancestral experiences live in us, not just emotionally or psychologically, but physically. Illness, imbalance, deterioration, disconnection - so much of it can be tracked across generations. But that doesn’t mean we’re doomed to repeat the past.

Science tells us that only about 5% of diseases are fully penetrant - meaning you will experience them no matter what. And even that, I’d argue, can shift. Because the rest? It's all responsive, adaptable, changeable.

Your genes operate on a dimmer switch, constantly adjusting, responding to your thoughts, your environment, your choices, your healing. You're not a victim of your DNA.

You're the DJ.

You get to turn the volume up on what you want more of: vitality, peace, wisdom, resilience.
You get to fade out the noise of fear, stagnation, inherited trauma, disease.

Take a moment. Breathe into this. Ask yourself:

• If I knew that my genes weren’t locked into a specific setting, what could I allow to shift?

• If I could amplify the very best of my lineage, what would I choose to express?

• If I felt free from my ancestors’ burdens, what would I lay down, once and for all?

• If my choices were truly my own, not dictated by the past, what would I choose for my present and future?

You are an alchemist at heart, able to choose the amounts and combinations of what resides within you. Your destiny isn’t a sentence handed down. It’s a composition you get to create, moment by moment. You are beholden to no one.

This is exactly what we’ll explore in the second Ancestral Masterclass in our online series, this Wednesday evening.

We’ll shine light on what might be running quietly in the background - beliefs, illnesses, patterns that aren’t even yours - and create space to heal them. You and your ancestors are so welcome in this sacred work. You can learn more HERE.

Sending blessings for health and healing, to you and your beautiful ancestors!
