Chromosomes contain the building blocks for creating any living thing. They exist in almost every cell’s nucleus and are made from strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Sections of DNA are called “genes.” Each gene adds a specific protein to the building block. These proteins create, regulate, and maintain your body. For example, they make bones, allow muscles to move, regulate digestion, and even maintain your heartbeat.
Genes have what is called genetic memory. Genetic memory can be either the typical and commonly accepted physical and behavioral characteristics or more complex abilities and sophisticated knowledge. According to a neuroscience study, these more complex abilities include behaviors that have been affected by events in previous generations and appear to have been passed on through a form of genetic memory. But how are these genetic memories passed on to offspring? And, more importantly, to what extent do these genetic memories control our thinking, learning, and even our emotional responses? Sadhguru answers these questions and more.
In a conversation with Emery Brown, Professor of Anesthesia, Harvard Medical School, and Nicholas Schiff, Professor of Neurology and Neuroscience, Cornell Medical College, Sadhguru expounds on how genetic memory can become a huge limitation on how you experience your life.
