Trigger Happy


As we’re being offered this profound opportunity to shift into an entirely new way of being, it can be easy to bypass the windows that are presenting in favor of falling into default.  These windows, when opened, offer us the fresh air of a perspective that’s beyond the one we’ve been privy to.  And in this consciousness expansion, we can gain greater strides in our awakening as we shift away from tendencies of blame and of victim-consciousness, and fold into a freer way that isn’t hindered by fear and projection.

Begin by allowing the ever-multiplying bouquet of triggers to float into and through your awareness rather than anchor you down.  You can do this!  It just takes a little intent and a lot of perspective about how pursuing triggers and getting sunk by them has never really brought you anything but grief.

Triggers are here to teach you, but they can’t do their job and you can’t evolve unless you’re able to separate yourself from the need to be sent.  Repeat to yourself ...     

 ‘ Just because I’ve always reacted to this set of circumstances in this way doesn’t mean I have to react to it that way again now.  I can do it different.  Why not? And in doing so, in choosing to just be the trout at the bottom of the stream, watching all of the bait go by, I can be removed from it enough to actually see what it’s here to teach me.  And when I can do that, when I can remain inactivated by this ‘thing’ that’s always set me off before, I can shift the energy and the vibration of it so that it will no longer re-appear in my life.

And beyond that, I will gain wisdom and I will gain strength and I can even gather profound perspective for myself in having suffered through that lesson  (and for all others who have suffered through, and are continuing to suffer, in the same way).

In this, you are made new.  In this, you achieve wholeness because you have gathered to yourself an aspect that has been adrift in your struggle to move beyond the point of trigger into a place of peace.

Lighten your load by releasing the need to carry around the yesterdays and the tomorrows.  Haven’t you got enough on your plate right now?!  Anytime your Now is flavored by what’s ‘always been’ or what hasn’t- it’s limited in it’s potential and skews your perspective, keeping you boxed in and disillusioned.
Strike the ‘shoulds’ from your vocabulary.  Past ‘shoulds’ and future ‘shoulds’ are an indicator that you are being derailed from your presence and your power.

Perspective, people, perspective!  As long as you view everything, anything, as meaning something, it does. But most often it doesn’t mean what you think it means at all.  When your perspective is based on your past, it filters out the truth and disables you from moving beyond the imposed limitation.

When you realize a trigger is on the horizon, when you See that it has the potential of unfolding and causing you to unravel- retreat.  Go inward, and away, to the best of your ability considering the circumstances, from the drama.  Allowing yourself to ‘move away’ from the situation gives you some breathing space so that you don’t get sucked into reacting, attaching, or judgment of what’s playing out.

Every time you don’t go there and give in to the habitual responses, you win.  You move forward.  You are further along in your game.  So when you juxtaposition yourself to remain still, remain objective, remain neutral, remain in the Now- you set yourself up to See the big picture and discontinue acting small (or from the stance of the littler ego self).

Moving forward, shedding all of these old triggers, gives more leverage, more leg room- gives an insiders advantage, because you’re able to See things from the inside out , from a higher perspective, and not feel so weighed down by what’s been dominating you forever.

Remember to find ways to shed that old skin as you’re releasing in droves.  You don’t need to hold onto the old perspective while simultaneously opening to the new.  Try salt showers, releasing rituals, surrendering to a higher power, and reconnecting with your higher self to keep things resonating from that ‘higher’ place.

It doesn’t matter what’s happened before. This moment is not a reflection of what’s been. This moment simply IS. This Now holds within it the potential of the new.  It is not condemned.  It is not tainted or tarnished unless you make it that way.  Choose the portal.  Choose new.  You deserve this newness.  You deserve to get unstuck.  A trigger holds within it the weight of what’s been.  That‘s why it has such a stronghold and an impact.  It’s got the hardware of what’s kept you paralyzed and in an unconscious groove.  But within the trigger is also a mystery to be unlocked which holds the magic of wisdom and of love.
 .

A god mantra to get you through the day, 'None of this means anything at all'. This is one of the most powerful statements to keep you out of the way and in the flow. It really is that simple...when ya let it be.


Peaceful forward movement to you!

In grace,
