Goooooooood morning, friends. :) So Im back in Indiana, digging my feet into the grass to let my body know where I am and soaking up the sun to remember I never left my desert. Grounding is crucial, especially when arriving at a new location. It keeps the neural networks firing more efficiently. Whats interesting about being home again is that the usual triggers I would experience here are almost entirely null and void. The concept of boundaries is something that were taught for establishing space between those who trigger us. Although this can be a useful tool, Ive experienced what its like to be consumed by building and holding boundaries, only to find myself exhausted within an isolated room of walls and distanced from the people I love. So now, I use something much more effective: Redirection. Being able to be triggered by someone means that theres some area of ourselves that needs attention. This is why I support thanking the people who trigger us. Theyre doing everyone a great favor, AND theyre likely calling us to redirect the intention that were holding. A practice Ive found is to simply redirect yourself when some triggers you by asking questions such as what is this person showing me about me? and what kind of intention am I holding for this person to see him or her in this light? Redirecting the communication into a place where we can meet on common ground and find resonance is what Im practicing. Keep the gratitude and love flowing. Hold the space for the process to take place. Take time away to process when needed. Come back to the table when youre ready.. because most of relating to people is just showing up. Its said, If you think youre enlightened, go spend a weekend with your mother. I say enlightenment is overrated. Ive got friends, love, and family, and thats all I need. Share your thoughts/feelings if youre interested. Love you, crazies.
