29 Apr Choose a lighter path

We live in stressful times, we can get easily triggered. In times like this, we need to realize that we can stop and reflect. We are so programmed in the old paradigm of doing and reacting. When we get irritated by others, we do not stop but we blame the other person for what agitated us. As we become more conscious of our choices, we learn to be aware of our own reactions. We learn to understand that we have the power to choose. To go deeper, why we reacted that way? To go within, find out the root issues. We are emotional beings, but what shows up as reactions has more layers to it than what we know.

I noticed when someone has a feeling of separation from another human being is because deep within this person is pain or insecurity. The projections that the other person is seeing is because deep within, there is a separation from the Source or God. The feeling of insecurity comes from our deepest pain of not knowing that we are truly one. When we hurt someone, we are hurting our own selves. Our nature is to be at one with all sentient beings, but we are still functioning from our collective fear.

When we are awakened, we are also asked to be responsible for our own creations. If our situations does not lead to harmony and peace, we still have a lot of things to learn. Where do we start? How can we catch ourselves from reacting? How can we live in a harmonious state of being?

Steps in choosing the lighter path:

1. Acknowledge your trigger. Stop and take a break. Breathe.
2. Journal, ask your self what is deeply bothering you without blaming. What type of emotions come up for you? Are they lower or higher vibrations? Are you choosing to stay in the lower frequency? Ask why and where is this pride coming from?
3. When you know how you are emotionally attached or hooked to the situation, then you know the trigger. The person is just a catalyst for your to heal that wounded part of you. For example, you were disappointed about someone that did not show up for their appointment. You realized, you needed to value your self and your own time. The catalyst made you realized that you need to prioritized your self. Instead of getting angry at the other person that did not show up. You acknowledged what you needed to integrate within you. You created healthy boundary and prioritized your time and values.
4. You did not get caught up in the drama or conflict. You turned the story around and empowered yourself. The shadow or triggers dissipate when you choose to see what you can do and learn from the situation.
5. Choosing the lighter path is creating a new pattern in your psyche. You become non- reactive and you do not take others personally.
6. You become aware that you always have a choice to choose wisely. Thoughts that are harming you are not allowed in your patterns. Allow only healthy and positive energies in your fields.
7. Take the higher road, liberate yourself from hooks and attachments to victim stories.
8. Be empowered, be conscious and know yourself.
9. Give your self time to reflect and create a sacred space.
10. Integrate what you learned and create a conscious choice to send love, peace and light to all sentient beings. Bring kindness and compassion into every situation. Forgive your self and others. Create a full circle of healing for you and others.

Namaste,
