Triggers and Spiritual Growth

Know Thyself! This is the motto of all the ancient mystery schools. It is the path of self-mastery. That means to know your power, what brings you joy, and your highest purpose in life. It also means to know your shadows so that you can overcome them.


So, confession… I still get triggered sometimes. But I can look back on where I was five years ago. Back then I got triggered many times a day, and it would sour my mood for a long time. And I would carry around resentment for the other person as a result. It was NOT FUN!


Now I can honestly say I rarely get triggered. It happens so infrequently that when it does, it is an event, and I have to take notice. On Saturday, I got triggered three times within a short time span by a woman I had never met before. I reflected on it. I was able to say to myself, “That woman did absolutely nothing wrong.” And I was able to feel gratitude because she showed me a place in myself that still needs healing.

When we are triggered, it is about us, not them. I promise you that you could say absolutely anything to the Dalai Lama and he would not get triggered. He would respond to you with only love and compassion. This level of peace and self-mastery is possible. I am not there yet, but I know it’s possible because of the progress I’ve been able to in only a few years.

Life is WAY better not getting triggered all the time. I am able to be at peace. I can respond to people (and myself) with patience and kindness almost always. I don’t carry around resentment. It is a type of freedom that comes with inner healing. When you are triggered by other people, they are controlling you! If you want to be empowered, you have to take ownership for your own reactions.

I don’t know of a better way to Know Thyself and heal than the tools from the Modern Mystery School. The progress I’ve made in a few short years is nothing short of miraculous. Initiations, healings, meditation, rituals, all clear away the darkness inside of us that causes pain.

If you want the freedom that comes with having control of your reactions, let’s chat. It starts with Life Activation and Empower Thyself. Many blessings on your healing journey, whatever path you choose.
