Why The book: “Embodying The Biology Of Belief”- (Will Soon) Exist!

The synchronous events that led to “Embodying the Biology of Belief” emerged from a recognition that’s both simple and revolutionary: we’re living through what may be the most important scientific discovery of our time, yet most of us are walking past it like distracted hikers missing an entire ecosystem.

Imagine yourself walking through an ancient forest, completely present—noticing the intricate patterns of bark on different trees, catching glimpses of small creatures moving through undergrowth, absorbing the subtle shifts in light filtering through leaves, breathing in the rich scent of earth and growing things, feeling the springy forest floor beneath your feet, sensing how the temperature varies in different pockets of shade and sunlight.

When you’re truly there, the forest reveals itself as a living masterpiece of interconnected intelligence. Yet tomorrow you could walk that same path absorbed in mental chatter about bills and deadlines, experiencing barely a fraction of what surrounds you. This isn’t about comparing experiences—it’s about recognizing how easily we sleepwalk through life, missing the extraordinary embedded in the ordinary.

That’s precisely how Jeff and I see Dr. Bruce Lipton’s discovery in “The Biology of Belief”—a profound revelation about cellular intelligence that holds keys to healing both our individual lives and our collective planetary crisis. Right now, as we navigate the complex challenges of our cultural, political, social, and environmental moment—all manifesting as symptoms of chronic stress and overwhelm—there’s an answer so elegantly simple it’s easy to overlook. The solution to many of our most pressing problems was discovered by watching single cells respond to their environment.

The environmental crisis, social fragmentation, political polarization, and collective trauma defining our time are all symptoms of a species that has lost touch with Nature’s original design—millions of years of refined wisdom about how to live in our bodies, create genuine community, and inhabit our world in ways that generate safety and connection for all beings.

The story we’re weaving draws from cellular biology, neuroscience, polyvagal theory, quantum physics, deep ecology, and ancient wisdom traditions—insights from brilliant pioneers who have learned to read the language of the bodymind. This convergence of knowledge supports a revolutionary possibility: we already possess the intelligence, resources, and biological blueprint to evolve as a species toward a future that serves every living being on Earth.

This might sound optimistic in times that feel anything but. There’s urgency all around us—you can feel it in every headline, every conversation about what’s breaking down in our world. What aspects of our behavior as the dominant species need fundamental revision? What are the consequences of our current approach? What are the planetary symptoms trying to tell us? Perspectives on these questions vary dramatically, creating one of our central challenges: we each have the sovereign right to see the world through our own eyes, which naturally leads to disagreement, yet if we could recognize our unique viewpoints as variations on a common underlying theme, we might finally coordinate our efforts for collective wellbeing. Who wouldn’t want to live in a world characterized by connected, purposeful collaboration?

This vision might seem utopian, but the alternative feels increasingly untenable. If we continue on our current trajectory, environmental destruction and conflict seem inevitable. As Buckminster Fuller observed, “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

Here’s where the revolution becomes tangible: we now understand how consciousness literally reshapes biology through measurable, scientific mechanisms. When you learn to perceive the world as a Cell rather than a Self—seeing yourself simultaneously as an individual cellular entity and as one cell within the larger organism of humanity—entirely new possibilities emerge. Learning to communicate directly with your cellular intelligence, translating this understanding into lived experience, becomes genuinely transformative.

This endeavor invites readers to grasp cutting-edge science through embodied experience, naturally inspiring conscious engagement with the fundamental question: Now that I’m here, how do I make the most of this extraordinary opportunity to be alive?

What if, instead of seeing yourself as an isolated individual trying to manage personal stress, you recognized that regulating your nervous system is your contribution to our species learning to function from wisdom rather than reactivity? What if your individual healing journey is simultaneously a form of planetary care?

“Embodying the Biology of Belief” will offer what we believe our moment demands—not pharmaceutical intervention but biological revolution. It’s an exploration of how developing cellular awareness becomes your contribution to planetary healing, how individual embodiment serves collective awakening, how understanding yourself as both autonomous individual and integral part of humanity’s larger organism becomes the foundation for our shared future as Earth’s conscious inhabitants.

Let’s Begin With a 3 – in – 1 Basic Exercise or “Awareness Activity”.

These can be done individually, but are more powerful when “coupled”, adding on each practice on top of the other, by developing awareness of being present to all 3 simultaneously (eventually). This is an excellent mindfulness practice and can be done laying, sitting, or standing. This activity connects and fine tunes the three polyvagal circuits, let’s get to know them as we’ll be acquainting much more as we dive deeper into ourcells!

Step 1 – Notice Safety and Engage the Eyes:

1. To begin, you must be in a safe space. At least safe enough for you to have a few moments to yourself without any distractions. Say this phrase or your version of it: “Right now I am okay, right now I am safe”.
2. Without moving the neck or head and only using eye movements – gently and comfortably gaze to your right peripherally for 30 seconds, let the field of vision expand by not trying to over focus on a single object. Repeat with the left eye.
3. To recap – you’re acknowledging that you’re safe and you’re activating and being conscious of your peripheral vision, without moving your head and neck.
4. Notice your breathing, we’ll add a specific pattern in step 2, but for now simply be aware that you’re slowly breathing as you’re “exercising” your eyes peripherally.

Step 2 – Coherent Breathing:

1. Practice breathing at approximately six breaths per minute—inhaling for about 5 seconds and exhaling for about 5 seconds.
2. Try in the nose – out the mouth breathing, calmly and non-forcefully. This rhythm optimizes heart rate variability and creates coherence between your heart, lungs, nervous system, and brain waves.
3. You don’t need to count obsessively; just find a slow, smooth rhythm that feels sustainable and pleasant.
4. Feel the breath on the inhale and exhale when you lose focus or find yourself in thought. Focusing the breath in the area of the heart adds extra coherence.

Step 3 – Feel the Support of “Ground”:

1. One of the first instruction in many meditation practices is the sense of ground. Feeling into the contact that we make with the earth provides a foundation of safety, stability, and support.
2. Wherever you may roam – laying, sitting, or standing – feel into the contact with the ground: feet on the floor, tush in a seat, hands on a lap, body on the floor. Stay with the felt sense of being held and supported despite our planet travelling ridiculous speeds in space!

Step 4 – Putting It All Together – and not necessarily in this order!

1. Practice by taking a moment to acknowledge that you’re safe and okay,
2. Feel into the ground as described above. Once you feel anchored in place, add:
3. Breathing – 5 seconds in the nose, 5 seconds out the mouth. (Six breaths takes one minute and can alter your autonomic state, try it!)
4. Lastly, add the peripheral vision activity in step 1

Step 5 – “Feel, Heal, and Live!”
