Why DNA Healing is Important For Our Health And Wellness

Explore the transformative concept of DNA healing and how it connects with epigenetics and spiritual wellness practices.

DNA Healing: Understanding Our Personal Pattern of Archetypes

If you’ve been on the spiritual journey for a while, you may already have explored the idea of DNA healing. Many of us wonder how our DNA responds to the environment around us—and whether we carry forward unhealthy patterns inherited from our family line.

These questions are now being explored through the growing field of epigenetics, a discipline that studies influences “over” or “above” genetics.

At the same time, many forms of sound healing suggest that DNA may respond to frequency work. Together, these ideas create a rich landscape for anyone curious about the energetic, emotional, and environmental layers of their wellness.

Human Design and DNA Codons

Modalities like Human Design bring a unique perspective to DNA by suggesting that our energetic systems were imprinted at the moment of our birth—based on the date, time, and location we arrived.

Human Design teaches that our DNA codons are influenced electromagnetically by planetary positions. Codons—amino-acid building blocks of DNA—carry the instructions for how our body forms and functions. As defined by the Human Genome Project:

“A codon is a DNA or RNA sequence of three nucleotides that encodes a particular amino acid or signals a stop in protein synthesis. There are 64 codons: 61 specify amino acids and 3 act as stop signals.”
— National Human Genome Research Institute

In a Human Design chart, these codons translate into patterns of conscious and subconscious behavior inherited through our parents and grandparents—offering access to 64 energetic archetypes that can describe how we act and react in the world.

Genetic Karma Through the Akashic Records

When I work with clients in the Akashic Records, I sometimes see what I call Genetic Karma—patterns passed through the family line that continue to influence the present lifetime.

From this perspective, we exist within two streams of consciousness:

1. The Soul stream — shaped by many lifetimes
2. The DNA stream — shaped by the family line we incarnated into

Past-life karma can often be cleared energetically, freeing up life-force energy to support our present incarnation.

Genetic karma, however, can be more complex.

How We Clear Genetic Karma for DNA Healing

Genetic karma often contains patterns we did not consciously choose—yet we carry them because of our lineage. These may show up as triggers, personality traits, sensitivities, or subconscious beliefs.

I call this dynamic the “twin streams”:

• Our Soul chooses certain lessons or karmic themes.
• Our present life reflects similar patterns through inherited DNA.

This is one reason people often resonate deeply with past-life readings. Their DNA may recognize the themes being addressed.

Clearing genetic karma can support DNA healing, but it typically takes more time than clearing past-life energy. Multi-generational trauma often sits deeply within the subconscious layers of the family system.

Family History Research as a Tool for DNA Healing

One practical way to begin DNA healing is through family history research.

Modern tools like AncestryDNA make it easier than ever to trace lineage and understand patterns.

TV shows such as Who Do You Think You Are? demonstrate how people often feel resonance when learning about ancestors they’ve never met. This recognition can be part of the healing process. Understanding our roots can help us shift subconscious patterns—and influence the emotional environment our children are born into.

A book I’ve reviewed, It Didn’t Start With You by Mark Wolynn, dives deeply into this idea and is an excellent resource for exploring inherited family trauma.

Our DNA Reacts to Our Environment

Epigenetics has helped us move beyond the belief that we are “stuck” with whatever DNA we inherit.

Environmental factors significantly influence how our genes express themselves—some become active, some become dormant.

This means our DNA is responsive, adaptable, and sensitive to its surroundings.

A simple example is how animals adapt to climate, an example being changing fur color or thickness based on environmental conditions. These are DNA responses to their surroundings.

For humans, the challenge is different: we create many of our own environments—from food choices to chemicals, light exposure, stress, and more.

If we don’t care for our environment, our DNA can respond in ways that lead to illness, and these patterns may be passed on through altered gene expression.

As the World Economic Forum notes:

Our bodies are affected by a number of external environmental factors. Pollution has the most obvious impact, but light, temperature, drugs, food, and chemicals all influence DNA and gene expression.

Does Our Consciousness Level Affect DNA Healing?

There is no scientific evidence yet linking consciousness levels directly to DNA changes, but many people practice meditations focused on DNA repair or activation.

What we do know is that difficult environments—starvation, war, emotional neglect, physical trauma—can imprint on the autoimmune and stress systems. These imprints can pass through generations.

So the question becomes:

Do we want the memory of stress or trauma passed down to our children if we have the tools to shift it?

Shadow work can help. We carry ancestral shadows in our DNA and often live them out until we consciously release them. This takes time, awareness, and compassion.

Learn More About The Akashic Records Readings I Offer

One way to grow your self-awareness and to start to clear Genetic Karma is to work with your Akashic Records. This expands the connection to your Soul through your Higher Self (also known as your intuition).

If you are interested in an Akashic Records Reading, I always recommend starting with the Soul Star Reading.

This reading gives you 3 different immersive experiences of the Akashic Records: –

1. Connecting with your Divine Soul Blueprint (Soul-level gifts, talents, abilities).
2. Hearing about a Past Life that contains a karmic pattern ready for clearing (you’ll recognize this pattern in your present life).
3. Recognizing and clearing present life blocks and restrictions.
