Nature and the Biology of Human Evolution

Power of Flower's Complete Set with book/deck and essences

In the western hemisphere, it’s summer! Mountain streams are flowing with snow melt and wild flowers are blooming! It’s time to make flower essences! As I prepare a trek into the mountain meadows, I’m forever inspired by the mysterious connection between humanity, nature and biology, along with the interface of Soul.

We’re discovering the scientific link between our own genetic signature and the fabric of a much larger medical model, revealing the part we play in our well-being as we address emotion, mental attitudes, and spiritual attunement. This act of evolution as an ongoing living process: mysterious, inspiring, graceful and powerful.

The Advancement of Epigenetics and Flower Essences

The epigenome is a component of our DNA that differs from the fixed genetic code. Unlike the static nature of our genes, the epigenome is dynamic and can change or mutate throughout a person’s lifetime in response to environmental influences, emotions, lifestyle, and consciousness. This field of study is known as epigenetics, which is widely researched both in scientific communities and within metaphysical or holistic frameworks.

The term epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix epi, meaning “upon” or “above,” indicating that epigenetic factors operate on top of or in addition to the basic genetic code. These factors do not change the DNA sequence itself, but instead influence how genes are expressed—essentially turning genes on or off.

So, by viewing the human body as a multi-dimensional energy system, epigenetics opens the door to understanding how the soul or consciousness may interact with molecular biology. In this light, the epigenome becomes a potential bridge between our physical biology and the subtle energies of mind, emotion, spirit, and environment.

Here are some points of reference:

Choices Shape Our Biology. We’re Not Trapped by our Genes.One of the most empowering ideas from epigenetics is that we are not entirely bound by the genes we were born with. While genetic code is fixed, the expression of those genes is flexible and responsive. This challenges outdated ideas of genetic determinism and opens the door for transformation, healing, and growth—even across generations.

Healing Emotional and Ancestral Patterns

Epigenetic changes can also be influenced by emotional trauma, belief systems, and ancestral memory. Trauma that wasn’t resolved in one generation may carry over epigenetically—but the good news is that conscious healing can shift those patterns. Practices like inner child work, shadow integration, breathwork, and energy healing may affect the epigenome by altering our internal chemistry and responses to life.

Flower Essences ~ Spiritual Highlights

From a metaphysical perspective, the epigenome may act as a kind of interface between the soul and the body—responding to the vibrational information you feed it. As such, our thoughts, emotions, and consciousness become agents of transformation in the physical body. Acts of love, creativity, presence, and aligned intention may literally reprogram cellular expression.

Like the study of flower essences, epigenetics can cue us into a deeper understanding of our physical and spiritual existence. The fact that epigenetic processes are continuously at work and changing indicate that the evolutionary process is in constant motion. It appears we have an exciting part to play in the continuum of our health and destiny.

I’m involved in a new project adding new flower blends to our repertoire of healing, addressing humanity’s advanced evolution during changing times. Stay tuned!
