Dealing with Triggers and Self Care

'This is about Self- Awareness - literally pulling yourself back and observing where you're at in the moment.  This is sometimes difficult to do especially when the ego/emotional body and the rear heart chakra is closed causing the emotional trigger to be overwhelming.  We're not saying that this overwhelming emotion is happening to everyone, however it happens to most.  The feeling that you have when this happens can be observed by literally stopping yourself and observing the feeling rather than moving completely into the triggered emotion.  Once the observation is underway, then a solution can be brought forth.  This is using the left brain to help midigate or calm the emotional state of the right brain and the emotional state of the ego.  At this time a certain amount of reasoning can take place which is the best way to handle this emotional trigger - to feel into it from an observers position or to logically understand why the trigger is taking place.  You will find 80% of the time you are being triggered by someone elses' emotional trigger.  In general, once you acknowledge your trigger is caused by someone else it is much easier to observe and allow this trigger to fade away either through rational thought or emotional feeling.  Once the emotional trigger has been dealt with, you open up the rear of the heart and bring awareness to self, you are loving and taking care of self.'
