let me just say if you are watching this video, you are brave soul, because I don’t feel that many people are going to want to watch video talking about them being triggered. So if you are watching, that means that you have gotten further along on your path than most, and you are not afraid to look within. That is the key element that we need to understand in the spiritual community and in the community at large, that when we’re triggered, that is an indication that we need to go deeper.
We need to go within.
We need to understand why the fuck were triggered. What does it come from? Why is it there? Where is the route of the trigger now? What is the trigger?
It’s a word that gets thrown around a lot, but specifically in the psychological community or the awareness of the psyche. Triggered is a physiological response that engages our fight or flight mechanisms within the body. And it is coming from a place. And it comes from a place of trauma, of unhealed wounding that usually, if not always, goes back to our first seven years of existence. Our first seven years of life is when we are encoded with the dominant frequency that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.
Fucking terrifying, right? Especially if you experience a lot of trauma in those first seven years of life. It is intense. So understand that as you move through your spiritual journey, as you grow, as you learn, as you come into your fullness, your awareness of who you are, you’re going to be triggered. And when you’re triggered, it is a crossroads.
Okay, so I’m just going to tell you what I do when I’m triggered, if I have an actual physiological response, meaning like I got triggered as. Okay. My heart is racing. I’m angry, or I’m upset or I’m afraid or jealous or whatever that presents itself. That is an opportunity for me to do one or two things.
The first thing I do not recommend, and that is usually what happens when we have that unhealed wound is we just spiral. We fucking spiral. That trigger just takes over. We allow it to.
That trigger just takes over. And suddenly we are spiraling into a pit of despair, a pit of depression, a pit of anxiety, a panic attack, whatever, however, that resonates with whatever you’re experiencing, and it takes. And it takes a lot of purposeful intention to pull yourself out of that. Now, if you’re experiencing that type of triggering in your experience. Now, if you’re experiencing that type of triggering in your physical environment, then it’s okay, number one, it’s okay.
Like you’re at where you’re at and just understand that it takes more effort to pull yourself out of that. And that’s okay. But eventually you’re going to have the tools you need where you can self regulate, and you can flip out of that trigger very, very quickly. And then once you’re able to self regulate yourself out of a trigger, you can then make the second decision, which in my opinion, is the best decision, because it’s a conscious choice to investigate that, sugar. Okay, so if you’re into, like, Detective shit, if you.
So if you’re into playing Detective, if you like those sort of movies or shows that are crime centered, you could take a deep dive into your psyche, into all of the shadow aspects, all of the frankly gross shit that we really don’t want to look at and look at it and really look at it and dig into it and understand where the fuck that comes from. Because I’m telling you, my friend, it comes from a wound. It just does. And I feel that the entire collective, for the most part, like I would say, the entire collective, we are all traumatized in some way, shape or another by our upbringing.
And if you grew up in a beautiful home and experience no traumatic events as a child, kudos to you, you’re probably not even watching this video.
But if you did not have that experience in your life has been a shit show of suffering and bad decisions based on trauma, bonding and really just not understanding how to work through the intensity of your past experiences and your past suffering that was forced upon you as a child and young adult, it’s okay. It’s okay. Just know that if you do the inner work, if you investigate your psyche, investigate your inner being, learn how to listen to your inner child. You are going to unmask that root cause of that trigger.
And that brings healing.
Is these people online that are getting triggered as fuck by what I say or what other people say. It’s like it blows my mind that there’s so much aggression, right? Like, when I’m triggered, I’m like, oh, I’m just going to shut up and I’m going to go within, right? Self regulate, shut my mouth, go within. And that has been something that I’ve had to work towards.
Okay, so I used to react to. Okay, there’s only two States of being that we can exist in. We’re either in reaction mode, we’re being reactionary to our environment, or we’re being mindful conscious, aware of what is taking place. But when we’re triggered our body’s physiological response is to push us into these is to push us into this. Our body’s response is to push us into this adrenaline fueled mode and our prefrontal cortex, the part of our brain, which brings reasoning and intellect and logic goes offline.
It’s just done. It goes offline. It goes offline like a computer program. And suddenly we’re back into our reptilian instinctual reactionary frequency. But that is based from fear.
It is a physiological response in order to help us survive. It is not great for relationships. It is not great for interacting with other people. When we’re triggered, we can. It can.
When we’re in that state of fear. And however it wishes to present itself as were triggered, it’s going to come out in really unhealthy ways unless we’ve learned how to self regulate. So part of this playlist, part of the videos that I’m going to be putting out are selfregulation technique so that you can learn how to bring your brain back online when you’re triggered and instantly allow yourself to calm down and switch from a reactionary frequency to a mindful frequency. And then you don’t Spire, all my friends.
Then you don’t go into a pit of depression, a pit of anxiety, a pit of despair.
Or you don’t act out aggressively or possessive, or however that wishes to express itself. You’re able to self regulate come into your integrity, your authenticity. And then you’re able to play Detective when you are in a state of meditation and contemplation. And I assure you, my friends, I assure you that the truth will reveal itself. It wants to reveal itself to you.
So when you’re triggered, next time, understand that there is something that is wanting to get your attention. Okay? And you’re just going to have to play Detective and find out what it is. And then you won’t be triggered. Or if you are, you’re going to self regulate, and you’re gonna understand.
Oh, right. I’m being triggered because of that old wound. But I can choose a different way to respond now that I’m aware of it. That’s the magic of self growth. That’s the magic of moving forward on your path of awakening.
It’s beautiful. It’s profound. Allow your triggers to be the divine blessing in disguise that they are, and you will grow exponentially.
