When we hear stories such as the preceding ones, we find ourselves asking, “Is it simply a coincidence?” Is it a fluke that someone’s life span just happens to conform precisely to his or her expectation or those of his or her family members? Or is it something more?

With the renaissance of interest in the mind/body connection that began in the late 20th century, new studies are appearing almost weekly in scientific and mainstream journals that identify a direct link between the way we think and feel in our bodies and the way we function physically. It’s that connection that plays out in our everyday lives, just as my two friends’ loved ones demonstrate.

While their stories illustrate the power that a belief can hold for one person, could that power run even deeper in a way that affects us all? Is it possible that, collectively, we share in a belief that’s so common, and affects us on such a deep level, that it has actually established the limits of the human life span? And if so, can it be healed, and the limit changed? The answer to both of these questions is yes. The source of such a belief may surprise you.

Do We Die Before Our Time?

Have you ever wondered why we die after only 70 or 100 years?

Aside from the obvious trauma of such things as war, murder, accidents, and poor lifestyle choices, what is the real cause of death in humans? Why is it that the odds of continuing a healthy, vital, and meaningful life seem to work against us as we pass what’s often considered “midlife” and later approach the 100-year mark?

Among scientists, medical professionals, and scholars alike, there’s agreement that our bodies have a miraculous ability to sustain life. Of the estimated 50 trillion or so cells that reside within the average human, most are documented to have the ability to repair themselves and reproduce throughout our life span. In other words, we’re constantly replacing and rebuilding ourselves from the inside out!

Until recently, scientists believed that there were two exceptions to the phenomenon of cell regeneration. Interestingly, these special cases are the cells of the two centers that are most closely identified with the spiritual qualities that make us who we are: our brain and our heart. Although new studies have now shown that the cells of these organs do have the ability to regenerate themselves, it also appears that they’re so resilient that they can last a lifetime and don’t necessarily need to!

So, we’re back to the original question: Why does the upper limit of our life span appear to hover around the 100-year mark? What it is that takes our lives?

With the exception of misused medicines and misdiagnosed conditions, the greatest killer of adults over the age of 65 is heart disease. I find this statistic fascinating because of the work that our hearts are built to do and how well they do it. The average human heart beats approximately 100,000 times daily—equaling more
