Releasing Triggers is important for your wellbeing, to understand why read the story below and see if you can relate.

Meet Lizy

It was a mildly warm summer afternoon, and a gentle breeze makes it a perfect day to be outside. Five years old Lizy and her mother went to collect pebbles by the little creek. It was s short walk as the creek runs by the property line of their backyard. Lizy’s mother paints rocks, which she gifts to friends. It was nice and cool in the shade of the trees. The creek had barely any water as it has not rained for a few weeks. With her mother within a foot away, Lizy wandered by herself. “Mama! is this a good one? ” would every so often echo in an otherwise tranquil scene.

Encouraged by her mother, Lizy will press on to find another rock to add to the collection already taking shape in the basket. Under the watchful eye of her mam behind her, Lizy crouched and looked with curiosity. A peculiar little rock was in the dripping stream in between two larger ones. Lizy squat and reached to grab the strange-looking rock. As she was about to grab it, it jumped. Startled, Lizy jumped back and screamed. Her mother, slightly amused, reached over and comforted the crying girl with a hug. She embraced the sobbing girl. “It was just a frog,” she muttered.

As it unfolds

Fast forward twenty-five years later. Lizy is happily married with two children. She adores her kids and said she would do anything for them. However, her husband noticed a couple of quite peculiar interactions with her children. When her oldest son was making a rock garden, she would not get involved and even move it out of the house. She casually brushed it off and saying: “asked grandma for help; she is the rock person.” That was out of character for her as she is always involved in her son’s projects. The other instances, which are more frequent, are when their young daughter would scream, something kids do a lot. Lizy gets extremely agitated to the point of being neurotic when her little girl scream. When prompted, she really cannot explain her unusual reaction.

Triggers, what are they?

In Lizy’s case, triggers are the cause of her unusual reactions. Her somehow traumatic experience with the frog is the cause, and since she was only five at the time, she may not even remember that episode of her life.
According to Oxford Dictionary, trigger verb: ” cause (an event or situation) to happen or exist.”
In psychology, triggers involved all the senses, touch, sight, smell, taste, and sound. However, almost no one looks at the energetic aspect, more on that later.
Therapists recommend different approaches to triggers depending on their severity. In mild cases, patients develop a trigger action plan to help cope with the situation. On the other hand, for more severe ones, therapy is the only option, whereby one will process the emotion attached to the event that had caused the trigger. These approaches usually take time and may not rid a person of that problematic trigger.

Releas Trigger with Energy Healing

From my perspective, as an energy healing practitioner, the most effective way to deal with a trigger is at the energetic level – the one aspect widely disregarded. Using energy healing as part of the therapeutic arsenal will enable a fast migration to normalcy. Above all, the client does not have to relive the traumatic event that causes the trigger.
We are here to live life to its fullest. Do not let triggers annoy you or prevent you from experience more beautiful. Seek help and leave them where they belong on a machine, not you. Reach out for a free consult. Many are extremely happy to have taken that step.

Our body, this incredible marvel of nature, is so amazing. Just thinking about it can stress us out. It regulates our blood pressure, the amount of oxygen we need at any specific time, our digestion and elimination process, and all this automatically. We do not pause and think, “OK! Now I need to digest this banana I just ate.” Though we, consciously, do not have any input in most of our bodily functions, the body continuously gives us feedback on its performance. Our body is talking to us all the time.

Bio-Feedback is a living language.

Think of it as your phone beeping to let you know its battery is low, or you have a text that needs your attention. Our body is continuously seeking our attention to making the necessary correction in areas that we do control. So what all these have to do with weight loss? Everything! The accumulation of fat by the body is just a signal to get our attention.

Why have we got this weight loss business so wrong?

First, we want to lose only the extra fat, nothing else. So right off, weight loss is a misnomer.

As human beings, we are in constant interaction with our environment and, these external conditions do have some effect on our holistic health. Numerous researches have found direct correlations of various factors to the accumulation of fat in the body. Some of these factors are physical, nutritional, emotional, lifestyle, social influences, working environment, etc. All these are stressors that, without a doubt, play a role in this rising epidemic. There is a whole industry built around this societal prevalence. From fad diet, scientifically prepared chart, and program, to the miracle supplement, we are ready to jump on that roller coaster for a lifelong ride. Some people do succeed using one of those diets, nutritional supplements, or any other stuff out there. That could be just what their body needed. However, for most of us, we are still on that roller coaster. We are exercising, eating right, focusing on losing those extra pounds, and all the time either blaming ourselves or feeling guilty for not succeeding.

Stop! Time to get off.

In my opinion, most of us are still struggling with shedding those accumulated fats – and I stress fat, as weight is irrelevant (that is for another discussion) – is because we a not holistically approaching this human challenge. If an existing program had a holistic component to it, that piece was either vague; or the resources were not readily available. For instance, meditation may have been part of the strategy. However, how many of us can meditate… you get my point. So let get rid of all that stuff and start over.

It is not your fault!

First thing first, LOVE Ourselves. I know, most of us, when we look in the mirror, we only see the flaws; we notice that bulge of fat or whatever instead of that beautiful perfect human reflecting at us. It can be hard to love ourselves when everybody around us, from our close one to the society at large, tells us we are “ugly”; we do not fit the norm. So how can we love ourselves?

• Hypnosis can help. Find a good Hypnotherapist or commercially available recording. Diligently listen for at least one month.
• NLP or Tapping. Find a good practitioner or surf YouTube. Here the right word combination with the tapping is paramount.
• A Practitioner that can do Subconscious Reprogramming

The second step, find any emotional anchor associated with the weight gain. Because we don’t one day decide to pack up weight. Some may say it the metabolism, which is partially true. The body accumulates weight because there is a bigger reward to do so, even if its health is in jeopardy. The solution is to find that emotional connection and eliminate it.

• Find a good therapist.
• Do some self-assessment. There are many tools available; the local library is a good starting point.

In both cases, it can be a lengthy process. As we find the exact cause, its emergence can be painful, thus the drawn-out process for it to surface.

Third, find our triggers and eliminate them. There are specific things, situations, and behaviors that trigger our overindulgence in certain foods. Once the trigger or triggers – there are usually more than one – are identified, we will have to neutralize them. Here is a paid and DIY approach.

• A good therapist.
• Self-assessment and journaling, if done daily and over time, a pattern will emerge, and we will identify the trigger.

Once again, it is not a race against time, and we want to identify all the triggers. We do not want any hidden one to sabotage our effort in weight loss.

The last step is to reprogram our subconscious to help our body maintain its ideal weight. The resources that I know of are:

• A practitioner who does subconscious reprogramming.
• A good hypnotherapist
• A hypnotic recording for this specific reprogramming.

Hurrah! we got a plan.

Now that we have a solid base to stand on, we can start our weight loss program and, it is more likely to produce the anticipated results. Like in any weight loss program, we are not going to see overnight results. We will have to concede certain things. I believe that each of us can pick a program that will best suit our individual needs. However, any endeavor base on the approach described above is very like to bring better success. With this methodology, we first address all the little saboteurs of any weight loss program. Then we go about the practice of shedding the excess fat. It very is likely that even before starting a weight-loss regiment, we will find ourselves lighter on the scale. We will feel better about ourselves, and it is by far more than half of the battle.

My shameless pitch

As we can see, following this process for weight loss has a lot of merits. However, the foundational work itself can be lengthy and discouraging. Eliciting the help of the right professionals to quicken the pace can be daunting in itself. The good news is that at Energy Connect, we can assist with the whole foundational process. It is a one-stop-shop where our skilled practitioner, your truly, will gently and effectively bring you to the other side of the tunnel. Get in touch if this appeals to you; we are always ready to help.

I finally decided to publish this, as with any of my personal “unexplained” experiences, I tend to shy away from going public with them. In March this year (2018), while visiting my then sick mother in Mauritius, I took a trip to the Energy Vortex in Riambel. This location was a novelty for me, as someone discovered that Energy Vortex after my last visit there. Early morning at precisely 8:30, after about a forty-five-minute drive, we arrived there. We were the first visitors of the day, which was well suited, as I intended to do some healing there for one person in our party. We looked around and did the suggested ritual (more on that in a different article) and then proceeded to the actual Vortex.

I strolled around the area and picked a place next to the only tree within the perimeter surrounding the Vortex. I sat on a piece of log used as a bench and started to meditate. I was immediately able to quieten my mind, which is unusual for me, and within minutes went into a deep meditative state. After a moment suspended in time – I don’t know how long – I opened my eyes. It was pouring down with rain, one of those tropical summer rain showers. Everything around me was drenched but, to my amazement, I was completely dry. It took me a few seconds to register the fact that it was raining at the time. In that moment of realization, I dashed to the nearest shelter about three meters away, and by the time I got there, I was soaked wet.

Imagination or the Universe calling card

As I sat there waiting for the rain to stop and looked at my previous location, I started to realize what had just happened. In my rational mind, I began to look at all possible explanations around how while sitting outside, I did not get wet. Within a minute or so, after my dash, the rain stopped. Now things were getting more peculiar. Judging by the wetness around, it must have rained for at least five minutes before I took shelter. That meant, for at least four minutes while I was meditating, it must have been raining. However, I was not wet. I looked at the tree, at the area where I was sitting. The tree could not have provided such shelter, as after I left my makeshift bench, the log was wet.

Well, as far as rationally explaining this experience – I was at a loss. Then, as a “seeker”, I reminded myself that I did not need an explanation. I realized that the universe had something to do with it, and I just had to trust and look out for what came next. This experience is my second one that cannot be explained rationally, at least not at this time with our limited understanding and at the current mass consciousness level of humanity. During my first experience, a healing modality came to my awareness. The gift in this one is yet to be determined, and maybe there is none. Does it really matter? I am still in awe even now when writing this almost five months after. That could be the gift in itself.

Joy, but no picture

Going back to that day at the Energy Vortex, we regrouped after the rain. I proceeded to perform one healing using the modality that I mentioned earlier. It was a wonderful healing – one of those with instantaneous results. That person was so happy and relieved that we decided to leave immediately to have lunch at a nearby beach. In all the excitement, I had forgotten to take any pictures of the Energy Vortex site. Way to go, universe. An excellent excuse to come back. As we were getting in the car, a visitor asked us for the time. It was 11:45. Boy! did time fly that morning.

Well, half an hour looking around, about forty-five minutes to an hour doing healing work, then more than an hour meditating, really, never done that before. Anyway, who is counting… when miracles happen?

Tension Headaches what are they?

In our rush, rush, modern-day lifestyle, it is not unusual that we encounter one of those. For some, it is a recurring symptom on average once a week; for others, it is chronic. What am I talking about Tension Headaches! When it hit, it will ruin your day.

It can hit suddenly, or it creeps in slowly until it reaches its apotheoses. It happens at the forehead right between the temples; it may also feel like a tight band squeezing the head, or a lingering ache, dull pressure around the head especially, at the back of the head and neck or around the head. Some experiences are so severe that they are quite often mistaken for migraines. Tension headaches are more prevalent in women, and according to the Cleveland Clinic, 3% of the US population have symptoms of chronic ones.

Causes of tension headaches

As far as we know, there is no single trigger, and it is not genetic either. However, the usual culprits are:

• Long hours at the computer
• Not getting enough rest.
• Long commute in traffic
• Poor posture
• Cold weather

Other triggers observed to cause tension headaches are stresses caused by the environment, mental concerns, emotions, including social stresses. Some sources also indicate that depression can also be a trigger.

Treatment for tension headaches

The mainstream quick fix is usually an over-the-counter medication such as Aspirin or Ibuprofen. These pills can be a day saver; consequently, they can also be overused and provoke more headaches. According to the reputable Mayo Clinic, the OTC medications can cause rebound headaches as one becomes accustomed to them. These medications are also known to cause gastric and intestinal issues. In other instances, doctors may prescribe a painkiller in conjunction with muscle relaxants. Those are effective remedies but not without side effects and other complications.

Some none drugs alternative treatments available are:

• Biofeedback, where you learn a relaxation technique to manage pain and stress
• Stress Management, where you learn strategies to cope with stress and relieve tension
• Acupuncture, where needles are inserted at specific meridians of the body to relieve tensions and stress

Energy healing for Tension Headaches

Those therapies are very potent; nevertheless, some require time and dedication to master.

Alternatively, there is one that I recommend to my clients. It is quick, very efficient, has no cost, and is readily available anywhere at any time. The method, based on the Chinese Micro Massage. Whereby you gently massage the area of the hand right above the knuckle of the thumb. Since you have no training in micro-massage, I would recommend that you only perform this on yourself. This gentle massage promotes blood flow to the head, neck, and shoulders and helps release tension in those areas. Here is the full procedure.

• Take about 3 to 4 full belly breaths.
• Take your right-hand index finger and thumb and make them into the shape of an “L”.
• Using your other hand, locate the middle of the “L”.
• Apply moderate pressure to that spot with your other thumb and index finger. Now massage for the duration of 6 deep breaths.
• Repeat as necessary to alleviate headaches and neck /shoulder tension.

How to prevent future episodes?

As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so if you regularly suffer from tension headaches, here is what to do. Take note of when you are having those headaches; time of the day, after a meal, at your work, etc. This little exercise will help determine the triggers. Once you know them, book an appointment with me, and by using different energy healing modalities, together, we will eliminate them so you can have a more enjoyable life. Using Energy Healing to eliminate tension headaches is safe, non-invasive, and has no harmful side effects.

Contact us, and together we will see how Energy Healing modalities can help improve your quality of life and live in a place where suffering is only a memory.
