Last year, a group of women lowered their biological age by an average of 5 years in just 8 weeks, through lifestyle intervention alone. Sorry, what?

Using diet, sleep, relaxation, exercise and phytonutrients, subsequent blood tests showed every one of them had wound back their biological clocks. Chronological aging might be the number of years we’ve been alive, but biological age is how old a person's cells and tissues are based on physiological evidence, meaning that these women anti-aged the contents of the cells. Suffice to say, that’s the closest most of us will ever come to actual time travel.

It’s impressive studies like this that have catapulted living positively from good life practice to the forefront of epigenetic research and scientists now believe the brain could hold the key to the longevity matrix. The most visionary minds see this as evidence of epigenetic processing in action; that when we fully harness the power of positive thought, we can redirect our gene expression away from aging and towards regeneration.

The calm and positivity achieved through manifestation make it a much explored method to trigger DNA methylation and reverse biological aging. Renowned spiritual teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author Gabby Bernstein has been hailed as a next-generation thought leader on maximizing human potential, she advocates that manifesting is epigenetics in real terms.

“When we change our inner being, we're actually changing on a molecular level and changing our genetics. So if we talk about epigenetics, we can restore our inner cellular functioning when we start to truly undo those traumas from not only our past, but from our ancestors and our parents and all the lineage before us.”

Bernstein teaches the importance of manifesting from a positive mindset. “Your words have power. Through overthinking and over processing them, negative thoughts become beliefs and that’s what manifests. When we start to reprogram those stories, we start to create momentum around better feeling thoughts and better feeling energy and it's that better feeling energy that manifests. Change your core belief systems and you can change your life.”

 

In fact, Bernstein insists that effective manifesting can only come from a place of positivity and calm, “Manifesting starts when you spark a seed of energy of joy and put it out into the universe. You say a desire, hold it, and then let it go. The universe has a plan that is better than ours. When you stop being stressed, you’re relaxed and having fun, you become your authentic self and you are a super attractor.”

For those temporarily stuck in a place of frustration and angst, Gabby Bernstein’s step-by-step ‘Choose Again Method’ is a practical way of actively exiting negative thought loops.

STEP 1: A fear-based storyline is an anxious storyline and the first step is to check in with it. Notice which fear-based thoughts are playing on repeat.

STEP 2: Forgive yourself for having that thought.

STEP 3: Reach for the next best feeling thought you believe in, and then the next best and the next and the next best.

STEP 4: Do this at least once a day, if not all throughout the day, and you start to reprogram your beliefs and your energy.
