Sheila J. Wood, PhD, teaches us how our minds and souls affect our physical well-being. Using her understanding of both science and spirituality, she has developed unique and impactful energy healing modalities. She brings awareness of ancestral and soul lineage energies that are affecting our current health.

When we meditate and reap the benefits of the energy that centers us, how do we know that the light we bring in changes us for the better? We feel a sense of calm, a release of tension, and a connection to cosmic consciousness. Do we trust these feelings as being real, or do we need evidence that something measurable is happening in our energetic field?

Our emotions affect our DNA
In the book The Divine Matrix, Gregg Braden presents data from experiments performed in the 1990s that show the effects that light, emotion, and connection have on our DNA. He talks about how energy in the form of photons (light) affects and is affected by human DNA. He relates experiments that show how emotions change the configuration and molecular structure of DNA. He also provides scientific evidence, through the study of DNA, that a matrix of energy connects everything in the universe.
The DNA phantom effect
Imagine you are looking at a vacuum tube containing photons. The photons have a random distribution within the vacuum tube. When samples of human DNA are placed into the vacuum tube containing the photons, the photons arrange themselves differently in the presence of the DNA by shifting into regular arrays or patterns. Next, when the DNA is removed from the tube, the photons remain ordered, just as if the DNA were still in the tube.
The investigators accept the working hypothesis that some new field structure is being excited. They call this the DNA phantom effect. This experiment shows a direct relationship between our DNA and the energy that surrounds us. We see that a type of energy exists that has previously gone unrecognized, and that cells and/or DNA influence matter through this form of energy. (It is interesting to note that ancient spiritual texts informed us that we have a direct effect on the world around us. No scientific proof was needed.)
Do emotions influence the way our cells work?
Additional experiments were conducted by the DoD to ascertain the extent of emotional influences on DNA. They started with the known premise that emotion influences the way our cells function. In 1990, U.S. Army investigators asked the extended question: "Does the power that our feelings have on living cells and DNA continue once the DNA is no longer part of the body?"
To test whether emotions impact tissue samples that were removed from the body, a swab of tissue containing DNA was obtained from the subject’s mouth. The sample was taken into another room and placed into a specifically designed chamber. The DNA was measured to see if it responded to the emotions emanating from the person it came from. The subject was shown a variety of images to evoke emotion. In response to emotional peaks and dips, the DNA showed powerful electrical responses, exactly corresponding to the emotional peaks and dips, and at the same moments in time. The DNA acted as if it were still physically connected to the body.
Does distance have an effect on the response of DNA to emotions?
In continued studies, the effects of distance on the responses of DNA to emotions were tested. The donor was separated from his cells/DNA by 350 miles. The previous experiment was repeated, and response times were measured using an atomic clock. Intervals of time were measured between emotional responses and the cells’/DNA electrical responses. The emotional fluctuations and the cells’/DNA responses occurred simultaneously; zero-time differences were recorded by the atomic clock.
A quantum field connects all matter
These experiments show that a quantum field links all matter, meaning everything must be connected and remain connected. There is no clear division between where the body ends and where it begins. We continue to be linked to everyone we meet. How deep is this connection? The quality of the connection depends on how aware we are of its existence.
Emotional memory was in our DNA the moment we were created
We can extrapolate from this information that a person’s emotional memory was in the DNA the moment they were created. A concrete example of this extrapolation is as follows: On September 11, 2001, mothers who were pregnant and experienced trauma during 9/11 transferred PTSD to their unborn babies. This transference can be mapped on the DNA.
A similar experiment performed by the group HeartMath in the 1990s showed that emotion changed the shape of DNA. When a subject’s DNA was placed in a glass beaker and the subject was exposed to “coherent emotions” (a physiological state created by controlled emotional self-management techniques), the human emotion changed the shape of the DNA. Different intentions produced different effects on the DNA, causing it to wind or unwind.
We have learned that
A previously unrecognized field of energy exists between living tissues, allowing cells and DNA to communicate.
Human emotion has a direct influence on living DNA.
Distance appears to be of no consequence regarding this effect.
We inherit emotions through DNA memory.
Different intentions produce different effects on DNA.
The power of our energy
Thinking a bit beyond the data, it has been postulated that a web of subtle energy emerged at the beginning of time, when creation began. This energy has intelligence and responds to the power of human emotions. Herein is presented the picture of a connected and affected universe. If we can feel that our own dreams, wishes, and prayers are already answered, then it illuminates the possibilities that, with the power of our energy, we can heal, bi-locate, be everywhere at once, remote view, connect telepathically, choose peace, and focus our consciousness.
Divine energy directs our consciousness without ego
I think a key to unlocking this power lies in compassion. When Divine energy is present, it directs and focuses our consciousness without ego or judgment. The key to optimizing our energetic health is to bring compassion into our consciousness and be aware of universal energetic connections. This is how the Intelligent Mind, that Max Planck so eloquently spoke of, is grounded in each of us. This is how Divine energy structures us, connects us, maintains our DNA, nurtures our bodies, and protects our consciousness.
Our part in all of this is awareness. Feel it, sense it, hear it, see it. It is there.
