If you have been reading the UPD8!’s for the past few years, you know that every August we experience a major acceleration in the evolutionary energy.  In order to prepare for that jump, there is a push to clear out anything that will obstruct that new influx of Light.  

In order to clean out the old energy, we need it to be jiggled up and moved from the unconscious to the conscious mind. The only thing that can do this is a trigger. 

These triggers do not need to be big, but they need to be significant enough to make the trigger feel very real.  This could manifest in a number of ways, many very gentle, but to you and your triggered mind it will not feel gentle.  You could be watching a movie and the imagery and content unearths a file of abuse or trauma that you did not know was there or you thought was resolved.  You were fine one moment, and you are suddenly feeling fear, dread, and having disturbing thoughts.

Or you could be in a minor fender bender that really does no significant damage, except that you are unable to relax or sleep since the incident.  The jolt of the accident is enough to jiggle something old up and until it is resolved, you will not feel right. Or you could awaken form a nightmare and be caught in a trigger.

This is the mechanism at work to get the energetic signature from the past UP and OUT of the bio-energetic system.  It has to be UP enough to be accessible. Often the energy behind the trigger will resolve in a matter of days, and sometimes you will need help from a practitioner to complete the healing. You can trust that when something is UP, it is the right time to move it along. There is never any need to go digging for work because the infiltration of the higher energy will move it to the surface at just the right time. Over the years of working with this process, I have learned to be very grateful for big triggers over small events.  The small events that feel big are a gentle way to go through the healing process required to integrate the Light and move to the next level of the process without unnecessary pain or damage.

There is an extraordinary orchestration going on by your Higher Self, your Spiritual team, your Body Elemental, and the Evolutionary Light to keep your evolution on track.  Having the context for how it is working for you, helps to trust the process and move through the changes with the least amount of friction. 

As we move into this next phase in August, people on the path can expect triggers. Learn to welcome them and understand they are for your benefit.  The most magical thing about this process is that as soon as the energy behind the trigger is released, the trigger and the issues and challenges connected to it just seem to dissolve. People feel better and clearer than ever before. The load has been lightened.

Bring any questions you have about this process to class. I will offer any information or insights I have to help you with the trigger experience.  The summer classes and calls will be focused on the trigger phenomena and other info related to the August acceleration.

Be  well everyone and enjoy this amazing summer!
