Lately, I’ve been curious about how much our genes might play a role in what kinds of mindfulness practices actually stick. I’ve tried meditation, breathwork, and even gardening (which feels meditative to me), but some methods just click better than others. It got me wondering could genetic predispositions affect how we respond to different techniques? For example, maybe someone with a higher stress sensitivity might benefit more from movement-based mindfulness, like yoga, over seated meditation.
Has anyone looked into this or tried tailoring their mindfulness routine based on genetic insights? I’d love to hear if you’ve noticed patterns or have any resources to share. It feels like there’s a lot of untapped potential here, especially for those of us who’ve struggled to find what works.
