Transforming Your Triggers Into Healing

"You and I possess within ourselves at every moment of our lives, under all circumstances, the power to transform the quality of our lives." – Werner Erhard.

When you find yourself triggered by a situation or someone else's behavior, it's not a setback, but a stepping stone for growth. It's an opportunity! A trigger is a sign that you have a trauma that needs healing, and this healing is crucial for you to live your best life. Our initial response to a trigger is often an adverse reaction toward its source. Our bodies recall lower-level thought forms and emotions, such as anger, fear, frustration, worry, and doubt, from a previous time, and we bring that energy into our current situation. Instead of reacting instinctively, we can be mindful and process our feelings with a greater awareness. Reacting with negative, lower-level emotion to a trigger is a mind-on auto-pilot. It is how most of us live daily, but it doesn't have to be that way. You have the power to choose a different path, to embrace your triggers and use them as fuel for your personal growth and healing.

We are not just physical beings, but spiritual beings having a physical experience. This means we can experience the full range of human emotions. It's a duality that many people overlook. Our lower self is our physical mind-body. Lower-level emotions are a reaction to our perceived physical experience and our perceived limits. However, our higher self knows the truth about who we are, spiritual beings not limited by physical constraints. This awareness liberates us from the shackles of physical conditions. It allows us to see beyond what is presented in our physical reality, offering a glimmer of hope and a higher perspective.

Have you ever seen a tapestry or needlepoint? From underneath, it is a mess. Knots and strings are going every which way. There is no pattern; there is no beauty to behold. We are lucky if we can make some sense out of it. We try to make the best out of what we see. However, from the top, it is a beautiful work of art. Every stitch is perfectly laid with precision and creates a masterpiece that is personally crafted and truly one of a kind.

When operating in our lower self mindset, we see things underneath life's tapestry. As we see it, life randomly happens to us and seems to have no rhyme or reason. In this place, we are just trying to navigate through the mess. Things are happening to us and seem to have no purpose. We react based on the circumstance and situation. We are just trying to make it to the finish line. Our lower self reacts with lower-level emotions by what it perceives because that is all it knows.

However, there is another side when we awaken to the truth of who we are. When we embrace the duality, we gain a higher perspective. We see that there is more to life than the underside of the tapestry. We raise our awareness to embrace a higher seeing, a greater knowing. We can leave the perceptions of our lower self behind and gloriously arise to find that WE are weaving a majestic masterpiece. As our higher selves, we know we are creating something amazing, and everything happening underneath is purposeful and necessary.

We no longer react to our situations when we learn to trust our higher self. We know how to respond, knowing that everything is happening for the beauty we are becoming. When triggered, we can reach for an emotion that embraces our knowing. We no longer dwell on our lower-level emotions because we trust the process and practice living as our higher selves. Every person or situation that triggers you is assisting you in releasing behaviors, feelings, and thought forms that no longer serve your higher knowing and being. You no longer respond with lower-level emotions because you choose to raise your awareness to a level that observes all that happens in life as infinitely good and happening solely for your benefit and expansion. In this place, triggers become trainers. They become lessons that teach us how to respond in love and gratitude in all things. Now, we can rest in the peace that surpasses all human understanding moment by moment. This is the work of healing.

When we embark on the journey of healing, we are no longer held captive by the actions, thoughts, and opinions of others. We liberate ourselves from the suffering they cause. We are no longer controlled by the actions of others. We are at cause which means we have freedom to command our emotion and our energy in ways that truly serve us and the highest good for humanity. We have access to wisdom we couldn't see before. We operate at a level that discerns the way forward in power and purpose. We lead the way by showing others that healing and freedom are both possibilities and realities. This is the transformative power of healing, and it's within your reach.
