What's up with self-nurturing?

The presentation below by Bruce Lipton on "Nature, Nurture & The Power Of Love: The Biology of Conscious Parenting" highlights how important it is to learn to nurture our selves and rewrite the beliefs we downloaded during the prenatal, delta and theta phases of human development, which is the time before conception up to about 6 years of age.

The presentation is divided into two parts. This first part lays the foundation for epigenetics, also known as new biology. Lipton explains how perception, especially in the first 6 years of life, is what controls our biology, not our genes, which has long been the belief system.

The second part, among many things, demonstrates how the ability to nurture is a learned behavior imprinted during the first 6 years of life. Lipton contends that whether we realize it or not, nurturing may not be what we are doing as parents, even if we think we are. He gives a wonderful example of how this happens in the second part of the presentation. He points out how the beliefs we learned up to 6 years of age are not in our awareness, making it hard to see how we sabotage ourselves. A parent's willingness to nurture a child, as Lipton shows, may often require replacing old, unconscious childhood beliefs with new, life-serving ones. Epigenetics showcases the power we all have in shaping our lives and our world. It is an empowering presentation.
