What happens inside the body when we change our inner environment | Meditation & Epigenetics

Can meditation influence our biology? What happens inside the body when we change our inner environment? Epigenetics is the study of how our environment and experiences can influence gene expression, affecting which genes are switched on or off without changing the underlying DNA sequence. In this talk, Daaji explores the fascinating connection between meditation, stress, consciousness, mind, body and gene expression. He explains how chronic stress can affect our biological systems and explores emerging research into how relaxation and meditative practices may influence the body's response to stress. The discussion introduces the idea of endogenetics — the inner environment created by our thoughts, emotions, attention, relationships and meditative state — and how cultivating a healthier inner environment may influence our overall wellbeing. From the science of epigenetics and telomeres to the practical role of meditation, this is an exploration of the deeper relationship between the mind and body.
