There is evidence that COVID-19 and its vaccines are likely to injure our DNA. Many people are exploring ways to mitigate any potential side effects.

Repairing our DNA may seem impossible, but it’s not.

For example, after a hard day at work, a good night’s sleep can help us feel refreshed in the morning because our body undergoes numerous silent repairs during sleep.

Our body has natural self-healing mechanisms to protect against harmful stimuli, and there are natural ways to enhance this process.

Even if we haven’t been affected by COVID-19, other external and internal factors such as ultraviolet light and radiation, environmental toxins, food additives, and stress can negatively impact our DNA.

Sitting Quietly Can Repair Our DNA

People often find relief from stress through sleep. Meditation is a form of active rest that can be practiced while awake.

Some people find meditation or mindfulness training boring or irrelevant to their lives, but countless studies have shown that it can lead to positive changes in gene expression.

Meditation is a practice that involves sitting in stillness without thinking or engaging in simple movements. It originated from traditional Asian culture and has since evolved into various exercises, including mindfulness meditation. The primary objectives of this practice include regulating the mind, eliminating distractions, promoting positive and calm thoughts, and finding inner peace and serenity.

By meditating regularly, we can actually help our body repair its DNA.

A 2020 systematic review found that both extended and short-term meditation can positively affect gene expression, reducing the factors that cause DNA damage and repairing the DNA.

Even a one-day meditation can switch on genes related to staying healthy and fighting off sickness. But those who spent the day relaxing normally didn’t show the same DNA changes.

Specifically, this study found that pivotal pathways responsible for DNA repair and stability are consistently improved after meditation.

Another study suggests that when men integrate meditation and yoga into their daily lifestyle it may help repair DNA damage to their sperm, improving sperm mobility and embryo viability. This resulted in a reduction in recurrent pregnancy loss in their female partners. Repairing this type of DNA damage is an essential step for healthy offspring.

DNA damage is often caused by inflammation, oxidative stress, viral infections, and other toxic insults, and meditation helps reduce these damaging stimuli.

A large-scale genomic study by American scientists in 2021 showed robust immune system activation following an advanced meditation retreat. The study analyzed the gene expression profile changes of 106 people in an eight-day meditative retreat for 10 hours per day.

The research data indicates that meditation activates 220 genes directly linked with immune response, including 68 genes related to antiviral potency, particularly interferon signaling. The top 10 genes affected are known for their essential role in the type I interferon pathway, which is the most relevant to frontline antiviral immunity.

The impact on the genes took place quickly. Nearly 44 percent of the genes were altered immediately after meditation, followed by 30 percent at the three-month follow-up.

It’s particularly important to note that the study found that meditation improved immune function without triggering inflammatory markers.

The authors suggested that meditation is an effective behavioral intervention for treating conditions associated with a weakened immune system, including COVID-19-related injuries.

‘Self-Healing’ Genes Activated by Classical Music

Listening to music is another simple act that has been found to enhance DNA repair.

Our DNA is susceptible to frequencies. When we listen to music, not only our ears, but also our muscles, cells, and DNA are listening. The music permeates our entire being. As Dr. Carlo Ventura’s team stated, listening to music can significantly affect human health and well-being.

In the words of the Sufi musician, Hazrat Inayat Khan:

“A person does not hear sound only through the ears; he hears sound through every pore of his body. It permeates the entire being, and according to its particular influence either slows or quickens the rhythm of the blood circulation; it either wakens or soothes the nervous system. It arouses a person to greater passions or it calms him by bringing him peace.”

DNA Responds to Our Thoughts

Our thoughts may seem intangible, but scientists have found extensive evidence that they have a real-time impact on our DNA, prompting us to reconsider how we perceive our lives.

Our perception of life can impact our gene expression, as shown by a 2013 study in PNAS. The study found that two types of happiness, hedonic and eudaimonic, have different effects on gene expression.
