Emotional Triggers - What do they tell you?

Have you ever had one of those days when for some reason you seem to be triggered by the most innocent or simplest of the words. Some triggers can be intense enough to elicit a strong reaction from you, that the other person is left wondering "What did I do wrong? "

How often have you stopped and stepped back to ask yourself this "Why was I triggered so much? " "Which of those words triggered me? " "Why am I so affected? "

Once you get these answers you can save yourself and your loved ones a lot of pain.

Because triggers are just that. They point you in the direction of the real emotion that has been still left unprocessed inside. Either emotion that you do not want to look at or emotions that are desperate for an outlet. And they can be incredibly confusing.

A situation at work can find a trigger at home, a situation in a relationship can find a trigger in your friendship or maybe a situation with yourself can find a trigger just about anywhere.

A triggered reaction however gives no resolution to the issue, but just leaves both you and your loved ones upset and hurt.

The solution? Try to rewind your emotions to the moment of reckoning. The trigger is trying to tell you something. Try to understand the reason why an innocent word affected you so much. A trigger is just a tip of the iceberg. Identify the emotions that the iceberg is made up off and then you can release it.

Here is wishing you a happy freedom from your triggers.

Weave gratitude into your life

We all know the power of gratitude. We all know, the more we have to be thankful for, the more we have opportunities to be thankful for. This is possibly one of the most well-known mantras since the time people understood the concept of the law of attraction. But still, the moment we get caught up in our daily life, gratitude more often than not slips way back into our priority lists. Have you noticed that the only time you are holding on to the attitude of gratitude is when you are present in the here and now? So accepted and acknowledged that we in our daily lives have enough attractions, distractions, to-do lists, not-to-do lists, etc. which all come together from making sure we are all not always in a state of gratitude. The universe is very smart, it has given us the tool to achieve so many things, but also made sure the only way we can use it is by being present....

Control your emotions?

An often misunderstood sentence is 'Control your emotions before your emotions control you'. A lot of us unfortunately try to resist feeling the emotions, mistaking them for control. Others feel them but push them inside. Both ways are almost always counter-productive. It is impossible to control anything without even acknowledging its presence in the first place. All emotions are beautiful, they are our guides. They help us find our answers. They help us connect, they help us bond, they help us understand and they help us express. The problem is only when we let them slip away from us, or when we cannot stop feeling a certain way or get so carried away in an emotion that it feels like going down a never-ending slippery slope. So an easier way of controlling our emotions is to first simply pause and try to understand why we are feeling a certain way. To do that we first have to accept and acknowledge we are feel...

Indicators of energy release

What are the indicators of energy release? We work on understanding, accepting, acknowledging and releasing energies all the time. But how do we know that the energy is actually moving? One of the most common indicators of the released energy leaving our body is through yawning. Whether we are working with tapping, guided imagery, quantum healing or even other modalities of energy healing such as Reiki - Yawning along with feeling physically tired is a huge indicator of energy release. Other indicators of energy release can include tears, crying, hiccups, burps, feeling very sleepy- to the point of being unable to keep eyes open and in extreme cases it can even include fever, purging ( specially if the released energy is a lot of disgust), and diarrhea. Unless the release symptoms are very uncomfortable or are not subsiding, all that needs to be done to facilitate better and easier transition of the energy is to drink plenty of healthy fluids and rest.
