If we consider epigenetics alongside the Traditional Chinese Medicine view of Congenital Essence, we can gain even richer insight into our true nature. In the Taoist perspective on life and incarnation, we inherit parental energy from our birth parents that we cannot change, but we do have the opportunity, if we are aware, to transform it. This prenatal, pre-birth energy—all the energetic qualities inherited from one’s parents—is known as Congenital Essence.² It’s the basis for our individual energy signature.

We all grow up with the weight of history on us.

Our ancestors dwell in the attics of our brains as they do in the spiraling chains of knowledge hidden in every cell of our bodies.

—Shirley Abbott, author

The Tao teaches that it is always up to the individual to accept fully what we inherit in order to cultivate our Congenital Essence for the highest good. With wisdom and understanding, we can utilize our inherited Congenital Essence to foster strengths and limit the effects of lesser qualities. Everyone receives aspects that are considered more or less desirable, the teachers of Traditional Chinese Medicine say.

Our very essence is derived from the qualities passed onto us though our incarnational journey, especially our Family Lineage. In the Constellation Approach, we work to accept fully what we have inherited and to consciously evolve those aspects for the better.
