Spiritual teachers have known for ages that our body and outer world are programmable by language, words and thoughts. And this has now been scientifically proven and explained.

Russian biophysicist Pjotr Garjajev has proven that one can simply use words and sentences to change DNA. His work has validated that the words we speak, including affirmations, can elevate us to the realms of joy, vibrant health, and prosperity, or bring us down into the depths of despair, poor health, and impoverishment.

For example, saying, “I am sick and tired,” will make us so. “I ain’t got no money,” means we won’t. But saying, “Every day, in every way I am feeling better and better,” or “I am prosperous, loved, and fortunate,” can make us so. Even words we are hearing from the media and others affect us beneficially or destructively.

The researchers found that “not everybody is equally successful or can always apply the same strength. The individual person must work on the inner processes and development in order to establish a conscious communication with the DNA.” Again, as in everything, if we want results, we need to endeavour.

Give up degrading and impoverishing words and phrases — unless you want what these words inevitably create. Whatever we want to bring to us and experience, we must use the words backed with feelings and intentions that correspond and are the mental equivalent of our desires made manifest.
