Triggers make us human. They happen to us in our day to day lives at work, in relationships, and in interactions with complete strangers. A trigger is an unhealed emotional wound.
Depending on how long the trigger has been suppressed, the level of emotion you experience will vary. It's important to note that triggers aren't a bad thing! They give us an opportunity to address, observe, acknowledge and reflect which enables us to heal. ✔
Whatever exists inside is alerting us with our triggers. It's not the person, thing, situation or circumstances. It's an unhealed emotion that we have harbored inside ourselves.
When we heal our triggers, we can then change the way we perceive ourselves, how we see the world, and our interactions with other people. We can gain insight when we separate ourselves from the emotional reaction which helps us to identify our triggers and work through them.
1) Set the intention: When you set an intention you begin to wire the pathway of the brain to objectively view what you previously just reacted to.
2) Find the “why”: Often we think that other people are triggering us, but in reality they’re just holding mirrors up to our triggers. There is an underlying root cause for every emotional reaction. These usually come from childhood wounds, past relationships or emotionally powerful moments. When you observe rather than react, you will gain insight on what and why you are being triggered.
3) Feel the emotion as energy: Instead of feeling the emotion, memory or feeling label it as energy. Then let the energy flow through you. I would recommend you go for a walk, workout or do some yoga. Acknowledge the energy and breathe it out.
4) Practice observation: Our initial subconscious habit is to react to our triggers. I challenge you to begin observing your triggers instead. Write down your feelings in your journal even if it doesn't make sense at the time.
5) Use this affirmation: "I AM grateful for this emotion and what it can teach me" Say this while you breathe in and out. When you link any thoughts with emotion it helps to actually change you and the way you react.
6) Release: When you are ready, allow yourself to process, let go and move forward. If you have a natural resistance to it, do not push yourself to observe and learn. Be easy on yourself and have patience and trust your intuition to let you know when you are ready to release.
Going through a spiritual awakening?
During an awakening, it may be useful to have some professional guidance: someone who can confidently, patiently and without judgement help us, step by step through the healing process. If you are in need of someone to talk with about triggers, past trauma, childhood wounds or repressed emotions. I am available for online booking please contact me directly at: fromanotherealm@gmail.com
Face whatever is holding you back head on and it no longer has power over you, you have power over it! Awareness and anything can't co exist. Awareness is more powerful than your ego, your emotions, your thoughts and your feelings. Awareness is what gets you back home to your soul purpose.
You can use your pain and turn it into power. If you are willing to work on where your pain comes from, the lesson to be learned and turn your knowledge into action, you can use your suffering to turn you into a stronger and wiser person! I look forward to working with you on your spiritual journey.
Love & Light,
Namaste ~ Paulina 🙏
