Basically, while your genetic code remains essentially the same, certain environmental factors can cause certain parts of the genome to switch on or off. So the DNA isn't changing necessarily, but the way that it is expressed does change. There is also "Junk DNA" which makes up the vast majority of genetic material, which researchers are now finding might follow similar patterns as language and may even be effected by language. "Junk DNA" may be where our personalities are stored.
Bruce Lipton, a cell biologist, has a nice 2 hour lecture on youtube where is explains far reaching (I mean absolutely far reachings) concepts in epigenetics. The first half of the talk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVECAlT4AXY) explains important concepts for understanding the implications he explains in the second part (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zcg_ldoU40c). I suggest to watch both movies so that you can fully grasp it. He wrote the book "The Biology of Belief" that essentially explains all of what he discusses in his talk (and more) in further detail.
I personally have mixed feelings about the DNA upgade stuff that is being channeled. "Junk DNA" is very little understood and it might have something to do with the upgrade and activating more DNA. Furthermore, there seem to be interdimensional aspects to all of this, which could mean that something from other realms that we cannot see or study can connect to our DNA from other dimensions and activate the "spiritual" part of it. We can believe such things or not. But what Lipton talks about can actually be studied and scientifically verified. However, most biologist dismiss his findings because they are certainly challenging current scientific understandings. But if (if if if) any of what Lipton talks about was indeed true (which I believe it is), then this can have huge impacts on our lives and those of our children.
