Why are we so triggered now? And what to do…

I think we'd all agree that there's a lot to be triggered about these days. It's only because your natural inner genius is getting louder and is ready to set you free.

The news, the economy, the latest health scare, our workplace, our kids or our relationships. No matter where we look, we can easily be triggered. People are on edge, and it doesn't take much to turn a lit match into a forest fire. It's perfect given that we're in the middle of the biggest shift humanity has ever experienced.

You are a reality-manufacturing machine. Every moment you occupy is an experience of a reality you created. As you travel through life situation by situation, your ego/personality, as the lens of your orientation, wants to know how to operate in that instance.


The problem is that the ego/personality doesn't refer to anything actually happening in the moment, or to possibilities or potential in any situation. Instead, it looks at the unconscious beliefs relevant to the situation, and it communicates those beliefs to you through thoughts and feelings.

Stay with me here ...

Those thoughts and feelings form a perception of what's happening in the situation. The most important thing you're being informed of unconsciously is:

What the situation means.

And the meaning of any situation is what causes us to decide and behave accordingly.

Triggers are choices we made as children about the world when we were making sense of it all. I'm not safe, I'm powerless; I don't count, money doesn't grow on trees, you can't trust people ... to name a few.

Triggers are asking us to make conscious decisions.

Is it really true that something in the world impacts our safety? Is it really true that our bodies are so vulnerable and don't have natural vitality? Is it really true that it's not safe to share our big vision and message? Is it really true that there are no other job options? Is it really true that others' judgment has anything to do with our worth? NO!

There's nothing to heal or understand, contrary to what many suggest. Those decisions we made are completely irrational!

Make a new decision as the adult that you are. William Whitecloud, author of 'The Magician's Way', suggests we move into a state of innocence - a place outside of thoughts and feelings. "Innocence is a state of awe and wonder where awareness is not influenced by prior experience."

In that state of innocence, our genius perspective can show up. Our genius perspective is ready to deliver what would truly serve us to be aware of, what might be in our greatest interest to be involved in, and what could be more pleasing or effective. Innocence is definitely a childlike condition. But it's anything but childish naivety or ignorance. It's receiving the personal guidance and perspective from spirit that is exactly what's most needed at the time.

When we suspend the beliefs about what something means, we can receive guidance from our natural genius that's here to lead the way. That natural genius provides the inspiration, the ideas, and all the synchronicities that result in the materialization of long held dreams or manifestations. It knows all things are possible, even when our logical minds don't.

One of my favorite questions is: What else is possible here? Or, how is this here to serve me? Another great question is: How good can this get?

When my lower leg was basically crushed, I decided not to accept the diagnosis. I decided it was just a jumping off place. And it was in many ways, since this showed me probably more than any other thing that's happened 'to' me in life, that I'm making it all up. And that I can make up anything ... that absolutely everything is here to serve me.

The photo isn't my x-ray, but it's similar. I have a huge chunk of cadaver 'bonelike material' below my kneecap. I have 13 screws in my leg, the one they said would need a new knee in a year, along with the other knee. The one they said would prevent me from hiking. They didn't know what I know: we are reality-creating machines.

I have two openings for one-on-one clients. If you'd like to explore this, let's talk. My clients are surpassing their ideas of what they thought was even possible:

"We had the most leads come in today than in years!"

"Life feels so dreamlike and malleable!"

"My debt is gone!"

"I really know that I don't have to do anything except follow my highest excitement."

I know you're a changemaker, and a leader in this new world. And the only thing standing between you and your best life ever is just a few triggers.
