Inheritance can pass on emotions like heirlooms through DNA

New research in epigenetics shows that stress-related traits can be passed down through generations, like emotional fingerprints in your DNA. In one study, mice trained to fear a certain scent produced offspring that flinched at the odor—even though they never encountered it.

Scientists believe that trauma can leave molecular ‘marks’ on genes, altering how future generations respond to their environment. Human studies of Holocaust survivors have revealed the same chemical changes in their children’s stress genes.

In the Emotion Code, an inherited trapped emotion is one that arrived at conception. You literally carry your parents’ or grandparents’ unprocessed energies inside you. By identifying these emotions through muscle testing and then using magnet sweeps ten times over your Governing Meridian, you can erase not only your own copy but the original imprint in your family line.

This approach doesn’t rewrite your genetics overnight, but it clears the energetic bookmarks your ancestors left for you to work through. Many people report feeling a sudden lightness—an ancestral apology accepted and forgiven. In this sense, healing becomes a family legacy of love rather than fear.

First, list the traits you see in your family tree—constant worry, anger, perfectionism. Muscle-test whether you inherited each trait and trace it to your parents or grandparents. When you find the source emotion, glide your magnet from the back of your neck to your lower back ten times, intending to free every ancestor who ever carried that burden. You’ll feel a subtle shift in your body and, often, in your loved ones too.
