________Attachment is the bond co-created between a baby and the person who cares for him/her in the first few years of life. This bond lays down - in the body, brain, neural pathways and nervous system - a template for who this baby becomes in relationship to himself, other people, to his body and to learning. This is the place of the mind, body, spirit connection. Research shows that prenates, newborns and children in their first two years of life are conscious, aware, perceptive, feeling and respond to these very early experiences throughout the rest of their life. These experiences imprint and become our subconscious programming. The name for this process is the “attachment process”. The new science of Epigenetics is helping us understand how exactly this happens at preconception and prenatally, and also how we can bring about changes to our genes in the present time. The good news is that we can change our genetic structure, our brain and nervous system by changing the neural pathways, while giving ourselves & accurately perceiving positive, loving experiences.
