00:00:00 Speaker: Well done. My love for picking this audio. Instead of being reactive. If you're feeling triggered right now, I'm here for you. It's really difficult when something happens in our lives that brushes up against a wound, that sting, that pain and that hurt. It never gets old. We never get used to it. But all we can do is meet ourselves where we are. And that's what I'm going to support you with today. So I'd like you to take some time to be really kind to yourself, whether this has been a huge trigger or something minor. I want you to get into the practice of taking care of yourself and whatever that means for you. So if you're really sad or upset, maybe you get a hot water bottle, your favorite blanket, a cup of tea, and get somewhere cozy. If you're feeling really angry and frustrated, maybe you push yourself. Challenge yourself to get out for a walk whilst you listen to this. Wherever you are at, whatever emotions you feel, meet yourself where you are. Have a gentle ten percent challenge because often we don't want to do what our body needs us to do, but it's also about bringing genuine comfort and safety back into the body. Because when we're triggered, that is literally internally, it can feel like life or death. It can feel huge. So you can even pause this track here. and go do what you need to do right now to feel safe, to feel, begin to feel, to lean into regulation. Do you need a snack, a warm drink? Anything. And then return. Now that you are doing what your body needs from you right now, we're going to introduce notice an awareness of the breath. Notice if you've begun to breathe quickly and in the upper half, in your throat, in your head, in your chest. And just meet where it is. For now. We don't need to force a change, but just see. Witness the impact this trigger has had physiologically. Can you sense any tension in your body? Could just be pain or more gripping, holding, bracing, maybe clenched fists, a tight jaw, a furrowed brow? Perhaps you've collapsed in the shoulders and hiding the heart space, not wanting to feel any more hurt. Maybe the psoas. The hips are tight and everything is curled up, protecting being held in. So see yourself where you are right now. And I'd like you to feel into which part of you is triggered in this moment? Which part of you is gripping and holding on and breathing shallowly? For many of you, it may be your inner child. That smaller version of you that's saying, hey, that really hurt my feelings. I didn't like how that made me feel. That doesn't feel fair. It could be a shadow. A part of you has been seen or been revealed. And you really don't like that vulnerability. You want to be seen as perfection or the super kind, loving person. And maybe something has been revealed in front of someone and oh, if you don't like that feeling. Maybe it's your ego. Something someone has said has really rubbed up against. Wow. Is that how they see me? That's not how I want to be presented to the world. So sitting with what part of yourself is triggered right now? Not moving into the thinking mind so much, but really feeling in the body and the body will gently show you. It might be through words, images, feelings in the body. Just a sense, a knowing. And just want you to breathe with that for a few moments. As I speak some light language to help you connect to your intuition in this moment. Nana. Nana. Nana. Nana. So. When we are triggered, something is rubbing up against a limiting belief. A story that we have. So as you breathe deeper into your body, into this tension, into this part of yourself. You deepen the breath. You breathe into the belly, in through the nose, and you exhale long, deep breaths. You may feel resistant to this breathing. You may feel, I want to be in the mind I need, I need to work this out so this trigger never happens again. And just smile at your humanness and anchor back into your body. This discomfort. It's okay to feel discomfort. It's important. It's crucial that you feel this discomfort because behind the discomfort on the other side of this trigger is a beautiful lesson. But don't worry if you're not there yet, if you're still grappling with the feelings this trigger has brought up. Just breathe into the body and maybe give some comfort to any part of yourself that you feel is in the driver's seat right now. I want you to connect to your higher self. Imagine your higher self sitting next to this other part. Your higher self puts a hand on their shoulder and says, thank you. Thank you for showing me a part of me that I'm ready to let go of, that I'm ready to work through. And just notice in the body if anything softens. This part of you might not want to give up their space in the driver's seat, and that's okay. Just be with that part of you. Tap into that frequency of the higher self and it's like your co-regulating with this other part. Reparenting this other part of you. This safe, steady, higher self. Their energy almost melts. Whether it's the inner child, the ego, the shadow, or some other part that has been activated, the higher self's light energy is infused. And in no rush at all. You swap seats. This part of you goes in the back seat. In your higher self takes the wheel. And as you notice this visual in the mind, in the body. Just check in and see if the body feels a little looser. Oh, a little sense of relief. See if you can deepen that breath even more. Breathing into the ribs. The side body into the back. Into the chest. And really letting go. And whilst you're here, you can begin. When you're ready to inquire with your intuition and say, what has this trigger taught me? I'm allowed to be triggered. But this trigger is also a blessing, especially if it comes up time and time again. It's your portal to knowing and understanding yourself in a deeper way. So spend a little bit more time here if you can. Conversing with your higher self, your intuition, your inner compass. You're in a therapist guru. This is part of who you are. And ask the questions and allow your body to give you the answers. And then if you do have even more capacity concretize that. Have a journal. Speak it through on your voice note on your phone. This is how you process a trigger. Well done, my love.
