Ep126 - Are Memories In More Than Just Your Mind?
If you’re a faith-centered, impact-driven Entrepreneur — a Coach, Consultant, Freelancer — growing your business (and your faith) doesn’t have to be a solo sport! Join Dallas and other like-minded people for a free, live weekly Bible study: www.EntrepreneurBibleStudy.com
EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
Is your body holding onto more than just tension? What if your muscles, your liver, even your nervous system are storing the memories you thought you'd already moved on from? In this episode, Dallas Amsden explores cutting-edge (and still controversial) science about somatic memory, cellular memory, and how your past might be living inside your body — not just your mind. He also challenges the idea that mindset alone is enough to create the transformation needed to become the FUTURE YOU. Could your body be subconsciously sabotaging your progress? Let’s explore that together.
IN THIS EPISODE:
- The NYU study that suggests organs can store memory
- What The Body Keeps the Score got right about trauma and physiology
- Why stress might be written into your DNA
- What muscle memory really means (and how it impacts your habits)
- A powerful question to ask when old patterns resurface
- How to pause, breathe, and invite your FUTURE YOU to respond differently
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Memory may live in your body, not just your brain
- Trauma and stress can be passed down through biological imprints
- Your body may be triggering old responses before your mind catches up
- Transformation isn't just about mindset—it may require body-awareness too
- A simple breath + question combo can interrupt an old habit cycle
- Becoming the FUTURE YOU means rewiring your physiological responses, not just your thoughts
