What a beauty the mind is to behold yet it has a capacity to rob us of the peace that most of us desire. Whenever we find ourselves in judgment of our own actions or the actions of others, the mind builds stories that can construct our own living hell.

In building a relationship to life’s experiences that rests in conscious awareness, a more clearly defined path can be cut through what is contrived and one can find themselves more often meeting reality on reality's terms. To step away from judgment gives space to our needs to come to the surface as they present in the language of our feelings.

Who wants to be triggered? Pretty much nobody enjoys it yet it can happen to us on a daily basis. We easily fall into past patterns that first arise in thought, can show us our feelings behind them, and ultimately have their foundation in our most essential needs.

How did we learn what we need? Why do we get so terrified and want to lash out when they are threatened?

Today we will explore the stickiness of our triggers and how to better utilize them consciously rather than letting them fully take the reins of our life.
