Lately, I've been spending a lot of time with my shadow self. I've had to face pieces of me that weren't so pleasant, pieces of me that I have become so accustomed to hiding. I've had to sit in uncomfortable situations and look at my part in them. I've had to challenge old thought patterns and release old excuses. I've had to put myself in situations that made me feel triggered.
Ughh, there's that word....
Triggered
In mental health terms, a trigger refers to something that affects your emotional state, often significantly, by causing extreme overwhelm or distress.
For so long I have held my attachment to that word as a shield, a reason to run away from or avoid something that was uncomfortable.
But growth and comfort cannot coexist.
My desire to remain untriggered has prohibited growth in certain areas. Areas that I have turned a blind eye to; areas that were in the shadow.
Remember, not all shadow is bad. It is just the thing we choose not to address. Shadow is the evidence of light and can be transmuted into whatever we want it to be. But in order to do that, we have to address it.
A while ago I was having a moment of reflection and I realized that I wasn't actually "triggered", I was being stirred, or as I like to say "activated". My soul was reacting to uncomfortable situations. I was growing and evolving into a higher version of myself. That untapped energy and potential were being used as a foundation for the next level.
Life is about duality, ups, and downs, pain, and success. I always say that I am on a mission to help millions of women all over the globe awaken as the keepers of the womb in order to heal this world. That much success cannot come without massive pain. The Guiding Light cannot continue to shine without going into the shadow. I say the same to you, Womb Keeper. Whether you want to change the world or yourself, you must experience the discomfort of your shadow.
I invite you to sit with your triggers, dance with the shadow, and transmute it into the light. Discover your inner sparkle and let it shine because the world needs you to just be you!
I love you all for real
