Recently, a scientist by name Daniel Winter and his team found proof that human emotions can reprogram your DNA and shape your immune system.
I can connect every emotion, everything, to the major diseases people suffer. Fear is responsible for blood pressure. Constant fear raises the blood pressure. The body's survival system has an innate intention to survive and function. I have seen even in my system that whenever the body falls into the sixth level of Samadhi, the body gets awakened immediately and the blood pressure goes up sometimes to 150, and in three seconds, when the body comes down from the sixth to the fifth level samadhi, the blood pressure will be back to 110/70. If your survival instinct is constantly challenged, the blood pressure goes up.

If you are suffering with diabetes, an imbalance of samana, it means you are suffering with desires and thoughts which are not going to bring fulfillment to you The desires which make you tired are agamya; tiring. They are not going to give you any fulfillment. They are not going to bring any joy or happiness to you or bliss to you. The emotions and desires which bring tiredness to you is agamya. If you are constantly suffering with desires which make you tired, then diabetes starts in you.
Constantly suffering from the shrinking idea means guilt; guilt is shrinking. Shrinking ideas are responsible for arthritis. If you are suffering with the memories of physical, mental, and emotional pain, these sufferings are directly responsible for your relationships, and your inability to expand your life or the identity you feel. If emotional pain is carried strongly in your system, you will stop expanding. The inability to expand means you are carrying intense pain engrams and samskaras.
I have seen ninety percent of people walking out of depression. The remaining ten percent do not want to walk out! They have too much vested interest in their depression. I have seen that people sometimes love suffering. They like suffering so much that it becomes second nature to them. It almost makes them feel comfortable.
You can see that in certain postures, you feel very comfortable. It is that cozy feeling in that certain posture which makes you feel very comfortable. So depression also gives you kind of a psychological cozy feeling, and without that, you feel you are in some way stiff or missing something! That is where the depression gets firmly rooted in you.
Human emotions can reprogram your DNA and shape your immune system. When these emotions are removed, when these unnecessary emotions and samskaras are removed, your DNA is reprogrammed, and immediately your immune system also gets reshaped. That is why people are able to walk out of even chronic diseases, deadly and incurable diseases which need long term drugs and therapy.
Emotions change our physical DNA, and when we change, the world around us changes. I always tell people, be blissful and wealth will be attracted towards you. You will attract all the right things, right situations and right happenings.
Scientists are saying the same thing in different words. So start practicing the higher human emotions and reprogram your system. The world around you will change.
