What Are Gene Keys?

I don’t believe in coincidences, I rather subscribe to the fact that everything happens for a reason.  I had never heard about the Gene Keys before, but one afternoon I was searching for something totally unrelated and up came across a link to the site.  As a curious person, I of course clicked on the link that led me to my own exploration of my personal Gene Keys.  I could not be happier for my discoveries; what a wonderful gift the universe provided for me.

As the creator of the Gene Keys, Richard Rudd’s inner journey began early in life as he experienced strange energies rushing throughout his body, culminating in a major spiritual experience at the age of 29. Emerging from what he calls ‘a field of limitless light’ that lasted 3 days and 3 nights, Richard was entrusted with a sacred teaching – the wisdom of the Gene Keys.

A teacher, mystic and award-winning poet, Richard is a natural born explorer and has studied with great teachers in the East, traveled through the Himalayas, the Pacific, the Americas and the Arctic. Earning a Master’s Degree in metaphysics and literature from Edinburgh University, he went on to work in the film industry in Australia, trained as a teacher of Chi Kung in Thailand and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a small yacht. During this time he lived in Manhattan, Oregon and Hawaii before finally returning to the UK in 1998, where he met Marian his wife.  Over the following years they had three children and moved to Devon in southern England.

Throughout his adventures, Richard has explored his love of writing and in 2006 he won the FISH international poetry award in Ireland.  All Richard’s travels and studies coalesced into a synthesis in 2002 when he began to write and conceive the Gene Keys.  It took seven years to write the book and understand its teachings and applications.  Today Richard continues to expand the wisdom that he was gifted, remaining always a student of the Gene Keys while teaching all around the world.  In 2019, Richard was named on the Watkins list of The 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People.

The Gene Keys Approach invites us to develop our humility through embodying the four qualities that lie at the heart of the Gene Keys.  Please consider these values as you navigate the Gene Keys Teachings.

• Contemplation – taking full responsibility for one’s inner state, using everyday challenges for growth and transformation.
• Inquiry – asking the profound introspective questions, inviting wisdom to come from within. Cultivating a state of calm presence in all situations.
• Gentleness – nurturing a kind and gracious approach towards self and others. Encouraging a spirit of unwinding and un-learning, versus striving and fixing.
• Patience – cultivating compassion, honesty and curiosity with an inherent trust in the underlying process.

I would encourage you to check out the website at www.genekeys.com and sign up to receive your free profile.  It’s a very interesting process and the discoveries about yourself are nothing short of amazing.  I scheduled a one-on-one session with Richard to dive deeper into my own Gene Keys.  The session did not disappoint, in fact, it was very informative so I would highly recommend it, especially for those who see repeating patterns in their lives but can’t figure out why they keep happening despite efforts to make changes.
