All triggers are opportunities for healing.
Yes, every single one is a perfect opportunity for deep healing.

So, do yourself a favor and maximize the opportunity – don’t push it away.

I used to get SO triggered.  SO angry.  When I was furious, when I took whatever it was extremely personally, and I was deeply offended I would seek revenge.  I’d attack and defend – obsessively going around and around in my mind in a way that was exhausting and left me feeling incompetent – like a complete failure.

Now I can see that each trigger was simply helping me to realize some false belief was coming to the surface in my consciousness, ready for healing . Like vermin that were eating away at something in my house, festering and proliferating, it was finally recognizable and available to be eliminated.

I do not wish vermin to fester and proliferate!  And I’ll bet you don’t either.

Isn’t it better that we’d get triggered, and momentarily upset, in order to recognize, “Oh! I’m only upset because there’s a belief in something that’s not true that I’m harboring!  This can be healed now and I don’t have to continue to manage and cope with it.  Yay!”

Yes! If we just take offense, and just get hurt or upset, and then struggle with our feelings, we’re missing our opportunity for PERMANENT healing. Not to just heal ourselves, but to heal everyone, because all minds are joined.

A Course in Miracles tells us: “Not one stone you place upon it but will be blessed by Him, for you will be restoring the holy dwelling place of His Son.”

When we bring anything to our awareness by means of a trigger, and then offer it up for healing – offering it to that Higher Holy Spirit Self, it can be permanently healed – if we’re willing.  We share the benefits with everyone.  Wholeness can break out all over the Sonship, all over the One Mind.

Think of it this way. Let’s say we’ve been pouring poison into the lake, and we decide to do a 180 – and not only stop pouring poison into the lake, but start cleaning it up. We’re going to start picking up other people’s trash from the lake too in order to clear out the entire lake.

People are going to say, “Hey! What are you doing there?”

“Yeah, I’m picking up trash. I’m tired of seeing the trash and I’d like to be a benefit.”

“Wow! Can I join you? Can I help you pick up the trash?”

“Sure!”

See how it spreads?

It’s not better to keep all the attack thoughts hidden and feel ashamed of them.  It’s more healing to remember to laugh at them.  One of the ways that we get there is when we can feel safe enough to share and be transparent with other like-minded souls.  The most beautiful thing is to share with others and receive some compassion, get some Love flowing, with ourselves and others.  Then, they naturally have a healing as well.

All boats rise on this tide of Love and compassion – self-forgiveness.  Non-judgment.

This is one of the great benefits of working with a Spiritual Counselor, or doing the deep work in my Masterful Living Program – having someone who can hold the space and not look at us and say, “Oh, my God!  So many problems!”

No! The Christ is emerging.
The problems are the false beliefs being brought to the surface.
This is a BLESSING.
And it’s not fantasy or fairytale. It’s truth!

We do this together!
