Turning Emotional Triggers Into Spiritual Growth

Why is it certain things can upset us so strongly? And what does it mean in the auric field when we react so strongly? Some things happen in our life and they don’t bother us. Yet other things catch us off guard, and we get triggered. What is going on? The truth is your biggest triggers are actually your most powerful teachers.

There are two spiritual principles that are strongly at work. First, each of us has a powerful auric field that radiates various spiritual colors. When we’re interacting with other people, it’s not just words and physical interaction. There is a spiritual exchange that goes on from one person to another, an auric exchange of energy. This is part of the natural joy of life. When we have a wonderful exchange with others, we feel elevated, because the auric exchange is on a high, positive level. When we have a difficult exchange, we feel depleted because there is an energetic component that is moving on a lower, unenlightened level.

When someone gets angry at you, you have a choice how to react. You can choose not to react, even though they may be doing something that’s not good. Or you react and get angry back at them. By reacting in a negative way, you are allowing the angry energy of the other person to enter into your aura. That triggers your own emotional, negative reaction causing you to project your angry energy back at them. On the other hand, if you are able to stay calm amidst the emotional storm of the other person, that energy doesn’t find a place in you. And as a result, it often dissipates because the emotional fire has no fuel.

The other spiritual key that can cause you to get emotionally triggered is an energetic weakness in you. These weaknesses can take on many forms. For example, say someone says something to you that was unkind, maybe slighted or disregarded you, and you disproportionally reacted to that. The question is why did this bother you so much? Yes it was unkind, but why did you let it get to you so deeply?

It could be that this person triggered an emotional reaction from your past, something that was unresolved. Perhaps you were brought up in a household where your parents were not encouraging, so you developed low self-esteem. When this person said something unkind, it wasn’t the careless words so much that bothered you, it was that the words triggered the pattern of low self-esteem that is still in your consciousness.

In these situations, bless those who can push your buttons, because they reveal a weakness in you. Through self-contemplation, meditation, effort you can release that old childhood trait and build up genuine self-confidence. You know you’ve learned the lesson and strengthened your aura when a similar trigger happens again but this time, it doesn’t affect you the same way. There’s no button to push.

As spiritual seekers, aim to hold a higher standard for yourself. You’re now aiming to live “of the spirit,” and not by the instinctual, “You hit me; I’ll hit you right back” attitude. Watch your trigger points. Do your best to catch yourself before you “lose it” in a situation. If you are triggered, build up more spiritual power in your aura. Develop self-examination and the Divine will reveal what it is you need to work on. Eventually, what was once a distress turns into a blessing.
