It is funny how quickly the ego can become engaged in
reaction. Believe me when I tell you I
laugh at myself when I see my own triggered reactions. Honestly, sometimes it takes a few moments of
some serious talking to myself to get there but I always endeavor to get there
so I can better understand what may be hiding in my own sub-conscious to work
out pain wise. It’s not an easy thing to
do and it takes a fierce and fearless courage to do it but every one can if
they are willing.
We are triggered into reaction for very good reason but I’ve
learned something of late. Perhaps it
was something I always knew and used at least sometimes without thinking about
it. The simple act of refocusing on
breathing and becoming extraordinarily mindful and quiet in a moment of
challenge can return you quickly to a logical and calm place instead of a
reacting, irrational and emotionally out of control place.
Are you one of those who always feels they can only think of
something good to say after an argumentative encounter is over? Well then, mindfulness breathing may be just
the perfect thing for you. You do not
have to react or even answer forcefully expressed questions on the spot until
you are good and ready to. I would say
that in an emotional and reactional frame, you are more likely to say something
you didn’t mean undermining your own serenity in the process. Giving yourself time to get straight
concerning your own projections, expectations and emotions through the simple
act of breathing can do much in terms of restoring your own equilibrium. Then you can respond when necessary to
address conflict with compassion and the fullness of your heart. When you can find a way to let the heart lead
the way, there is no remorse or regret to follow thus complicating already
triggered emotions.
You see, we all either project or vomit our psychology onto
everyone we meet. It may be positive or
it may be negative and that depends solely on you and what you are willing to
become fully aware of from the inside out.
So, if you have become tired of a life of continual conflict, go within
and start asking yourselves why you might have created a situation. You do not have to ever become a victim of
your creations. Just stop and consider
what they may be trying to teach you.
Good things like maybe you are good enough, smart enough and loving
enough to be and exist in this world.
Just some food for thought as we ready for the new year beautiful
dreamers.

You hold great powers within you for healing and
transformation without doing ever a single thing but going within and
reflecting by asking yourself some questions.
Be unafraid of the answers. Be
prepared to see them, to own them and to overcome them with healing love. All it takes is your intent and consent. How cool is that?
