Our guest today is Bruce Lipton! Guys, I'm such a big fan of his… and was super excited to get to talk to him… I actually did this interview the day after I found out I was pregnant back in November so I snuck some pregnancy and parenting related questions in here…
First off – I have a question for you - have you ever read a self-help book - had all sorts of Ah-ha moments, gotten a ton out of it - only to actually apply very little of it into your life? It's happened to me a million times.
Well did you know that your Subconscious mind – which cannot be taught in the same way as your conscious mind - dictates 95% of your behavior!
And sometimes the reason it's difficult to make changes in your life is because the thing you are trying to change contradicts the subconscious programming that you received very early on. We talk a lot about this today and it's profound…
But first more on Bruce…
Bruce H. Lipton, PhD is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Stem cell biologist, bestselling author of The Biology of Belief and recipient of the 2009 Goi Peace Award, he has been a guest speaker on hundreds of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national and international conferences.
He's best known for promoting the idea that gene expression can be influenced by environmental factors, in other words people have a greater impact on their health than genetic research has previously determined.
His discoveries have shown that a person's perception, not genetic programming, is what spurs all action in the body: It's actually our beliefs that select our genes, that then select our behavior.
Bruce says "Our consciousness is creating our life experiences. He says "That's not a suggestion - this is the law of science. If you change your consciousness you change your life experiences."
So the question becomes – how do we change our consciousness?? Well we cover that in today's episode.
We also discuss:
- How all the cells of your body are affected by your thoughts.
- The difference between the conscious and subconscious mind
- how most of your subconscious programming was created in the first 7 years of your life
- what we can do to create better programming for our children
- How we can reprogram our subconscious mind
- How you can change a belief you've had your whole life in 10 minutes!
ENJOY!
