In the 'woo-woo' circles, cellular memory is often spoken of, especially in holistic healing. The nature of the body to revert to injury or inflammation states is often seen as a cellular memory.
Hasn't there also been studies done on generational memory/trauma passed down through dna?

I feel like this is something we should already "know" but it's very cool to see that mainstream science is embracing the concept. It will be a long time before regular dr's carry this belief/thought as base knowledge. But why shouldn't they?

If I can "feel" trauma from a flashback in my brain, even down to the sweat and heartbeat changes, why wouldn't that translate to each cell? I thnk we forget that these CELLS function within a whole organism, and the pathways of communication in the body are STILL being sussed out completely. (like the autoimmune system and gut-brain connections)

Really fascinating. I do my sound therapy on the basis of everything beng interconnected and seeing the body as part of a whole field of energy that a person carried/emanates. I can't separate the specific cells or tissues, because they all play in to the health of the Being. Must be hard to be a medical specialist and only work within such confines...
