“With positive cellular memories, the purpose of meditating on them is to strengthen & consolidate them. When working with difficult cellular memories, the purpose is to release the energetic charge of those memories through somatic awareness”
Dear Integral Meditators,
This week’s article looks at cellular memory, & how to start using it effectively in daily life to build your inner strengths & re-work your weak points.
This week’s Wednesday & Saturday meditation classes are on working with cellular memory. We will be looking specifically at how to transform our stress using this angle in meditation.

In the spirit of body-intelligence,

Working With Your Body’s Cellular Memory Through Meditation
Let’s say I meet someone at a party, that person looks somewhat like someone who hurt me and made me angry in the past. Based on meeting this person that looks like a past acquaintance, my body’s cellular memory is stimulated and I feel myself experiencing not just a mental aversion and hurt, but a tangible energy of hurt that I feel in my body.
Let’s say alternatively I meet an old friend whom I share many good and fond memories of. My body’s cellular memory remembers this old friend, and I feel impelled to embrace them warmly to express my appreciation.
Our body remembers things on a cellular level, and this cellular memory is a powerful force in our life.
