Key Takeaways from the session:

• Human body is the subconscious mind and one can actually modify the genes through one’s actions and behaviours.
• Science of epigenetics has revealed that our minds control and manipulate the genes on our body and thereby effecting our health, by altering our perception and reaction to our environment
• 98 % of the molecules in the human body are replaced yearly.
• DNA is the alphabet of life and genes is like the word
• Mechanisms of diseases are not the same as the origin of diseases; origins of diseases go deeper on how we lead our lives
• Genes are not responsible for our illness; most genes are the effect of our lifestyle and not what we have inherited.
• Human body has 600 trillion cells, only 10 per cent are human. So all our biological science has been about 10 per cent of who we are.
• Unhealthy eating, sleeping, rest patterns affect the microbes and leads to inflammation, which is the cause of numerous physical ailments.
• Meditation and breathe awareness is essential and very effective for the human mind and body
