You are not a mind in a body. You are not a soul dragging a body through life. You are an entire ecosystem, a universe in motion. And your mitochondria—yes, your cellular engines—may just be where biology meets divinity.

God is in your mitochondria

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell, but they’re more than that. According to recent studies (Nunn et al., 2020), mitochondria don’t just produce energy—they regulate immune responses, stress reactions, and emotional resilience.

That means how you feel is not just in your head. It’s in your biochemical alignment.

Your feeling of “being off” might reflect real, measurable imbalances—maybe in your gut, maybe in your sleep cycle, maybe in your breath.

But here’s the spiritual side of this: if we believe that God (Source, Life, the Universe) is everywhere, then God is also in your biology. God is in your mitochondria.

Your behavior is the simplest diagnostic

Let me say something bold: you don’t need a lab test to know when you’re out of alignment.

Start with your behavior. Watch yourself:

• Do you eat when you’re not hungry?
• Do you scroll when you’re sad?
• Do you nod “yes” when every cell is screaming “no”?
• Do you stay awake when your body would love to sleep?

That is data. Real, rich, honest data.

Your behavior is your entry point to understanding the link between your body, thoughts, and emotions. Once you begin mapping it, a hidden harmony starts to emerge.

This is why I teach behavioral mapping—not as a control mechanism, but as a sacred assessment of your alignment.

The body-mind-emotion trinity

Let’s take a simple example.

You’re in a meeting. A colleague criticizes you. Your body stiffens. Your mind floods with thoughts like “I’m not good enough” or “Who does she think she is?” Emotionally, you feel shame, frustration, or anger.

Three reactions. One moment.

Now imagine pausing.

You notice:

• “My jaw is tight.”
• “I just told myself I’m failing.”
• “I feel small.”

That awareness is transformational.

Because the next time, you might breathe differently.
Speak differently.
Remember that you are not just your reaction. You are a responsive intelligence.

And this isn’t just self-help—it’s neuroscience. According to Porges’ polyvagal theory (2011), self-regulation emerges when we learn to monitor internal sensations and link them with behavioral cues.

Spiritual intelligence = biological compassion

You don’t need to abandon your biology to become spiritual. Quite the opposite—you need to redeem it.

We live in a time when many spiritual seekers still subtly reject the body:

• They fast to punish.
• They meditate to escape.
• They override hunger, tears, desire.

But what if your body is the teacher?

You are not meant to transcend your humanity.
You are meant to infuse it with divinity.

You are the cosmos in a nervous system

In your blood flows the memory of stars.
In your nervous system dances electricity older than time.
You are not a mistake of flesh.
You are an intersection of galaxies.

When I began to map my behavior—especially under stress—I saw the truth:

The days I skipped meals while coaching others.
The hours I numbed out while smiling on calls.
The chronic tension I ignored in my jaw.

That behavior wasn’t random. It was a roadmap to a deeper truth: I had abandoned myself while trying to “perform well.”

And healing didn’t come through affirmations.
It came through presence + action.
Through choosing one small honoring behavior each day.

Invitation to cosmic grounding

You don’t have to wait to feel aligned.

You can get curious about your behavior today.

What are you doing that drains you?
What micro-choice would honor your biology right now?
What if your mitochondria were whispering divine instructions?

You are not separate from the universe.
You are its most local expression.
