We've all heard expressions like, "You're not alone in this world" or "Everything is connected." These anthems, however, are more than just words. They have a basis in wisdom that is over 3,000 years old and are at the cutting edge of scientific research.

Martial arts, chi kung, yoga, as well as Eastern philosophy and medicine tell us that every cell in our body contains our entire physical, emotional, and spiritual history. Furthermore, every cell carries within it a history of every other cell in the universe. Similar concepts appear in modern science, particularly in the areas of physics and psychology. The ramifications for holistic health and spirituality are nothing less than spectacular. What it all means is that you literally have the entire universe to empower you—to help you affect any result you desire in life. Does this imply scientific logic to prayer, meditation, chi? For many others and me, the answer is yes!

How can we tap into cellular memory? The key is using and trusting your body. Its "transmitters" can be used as a path to your deepest self (your spirit, chi, prana). Every cell has this capability. And once you are there, of course, that is your connection to all things, individually and systemically.

Try this simple exercise to affect change in your life—for anything from interpersonal relationships to diet.

Ever find yourself asking, "Why did I do that?" Why do we do what we do? Simply put, our memories trigger us into action and create results in our lives.

If we really want change, we can bypass our memories and create new ones entirely.

Identify the action you wish to change. Then, center yourself and pause. I talk about this process extensively in my book, Be Like Water. As you pause, widen your vision. From this vantage point, the highway of possibilities becomes endless. Stay centered and open. Ask your "body" what is the best possible action for you. Remember, it is cellularly connected to the entire world around you. Allow your body to guide you. This process bypasses the "ego" and puts you in touch with a more organic way of triggering action. It is not fearful, nor contaminated by what others want from you. It will not lead you into harm's way. The universe wants nothing more than to be blissful. You are part of it and vice versa. Plug in. Try this effortless way of achieving results. Let it help bring your desires to fruition.

This path creates new, healthier memory, which will in turn become part of your own personal history for future action. Use this method once or twice a day, at first—then more. Enjoy changes in confidence, personal power, and achievement, while maintaining a buoyant sense of calm.
