Trigger, Teacher

Here you are, in this moment. In your body. You are safe. You are centered. Take a deep inhale. Let. It. Go. Welcome to a Hit of Hope. There are things that can create a deep emotional response in us. Or to put in another way, there are sometimes external events that are connected to our internal reactions.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Beautiful! Love the unexpected humor that helped me laugh at my unreasonableness. Saving this to return to again during my next trigger.

Short and sweet! 💖 Thank you very much 🌸💗💮

Very very thoughtful reflection. The sticky phrase, “Hello Teacher” is brilliant!

Thank you 🙏

Excellent! Thank you!

Excellent 😌 thanks Betsy 💛🙏

Oh boy, does this hit home! Thank you !

insightful 🙏🏻

Thank you very much for these words of wisdom. I really needed this today, after being triggered in a major way
🙏❤️

Another wonderful meditation from this teacher. I appreciate that they use humour and wisdom. I smiled in recognition at “eat a chair” and took a deep breath at “hello teacher”. Many thanks.

Wonderful way to look at things.

Fantastic immediate relief and finally has me better understanding my reactions

Thank you very much for this. Just exactly what I need right now.🙏🏾

That was a really good one for me today and I will return to it frequently! And I will share it! Thank you! Thank you!

Viewing a Trigger as Teacher is an approachable and gentle way to reframe a trigger/activator to lessen its reactive power within me leading to an ease in body, mind and spirit. Namaste...🪷😌🪷

Great advice…an entire paradigm shift!

Opportunity instead of obstacles

Fabulous!!!!

Lovely tone - great combination of relatable, down-to-earth, & even humorous, with sincere warmth.

Excellent!
Thank you 💖

awesome thanks

I enjoyed this so much because it showed me how I can use each part of myself. I tend to use not so nice when I’m complaining to someone about something they did. My sister always tells me that I will be shot or stabbed someday. I tell her that I least I “I got it off my mind before I die"! My wonderful therapist who I saw for many years took a different job far away. So she had to find another therapist to replace her. She assigned me to a woman who she said,”is kind of a badass” like me. But on the other hand, if I see an elderly person in a wheelchair, I make sure to say “Hi” to try to make them feel a little better.My “flip” switches so fast, but I like both parts of myself because they are authentically me. I can be sweet as sugar or crabby as piss and vinegar! I balance myself out and feel okay about it.🌺🦋🌸😃

Thank you, this helped so very much today! Namaste 🌻🌞🌻

"You could eat a chair" made me laugh. I needed that!

Thank you

NOOOOOOOOO!!! I don't want this to end! I've never before been shown my triggers in such a positive light! They don't HAVE to control me, I can control them. I need more of this for sure! 💖

Great reframe. Thank you, Betsy!

Inspiring

Slow... Soft .. quiet... Pauses...Practical.. no music.

Thank you

Thank you 🙏🏼

Refreshing and liberating. Thank you.

Really good! Thanks 🙏🏻 🌹

Thank you for showing me how to deal with triggers

Thank you, I so needed that. 🙏❤

Short but meaning-full message in your hit of hope.

I love your voice and the story behind triggers. Thank you so much ♥️♥️

That was great!

Fab!💕

Really specific to me at this time. I'm very grateful that you chose to share what you've learned, are learning. What you say is practical and could be applicable in many situations. Thank you for your good work. 🙏🏻💞

i love this med, it resonated in me and i’m planning to share it. thank you teacher.🙏

Perfect on triggers

❤️

Thanks for all the triggers cause they invite healing! 💝🙏

Sweet shift, lovely thought stopper… “hello teacher!” I’m on it. Here’s to learning and growing from my teachers!

Wise and compassionate, reminding us that however comprehensible they are, some reactions persist to the point of hurting us and that opening ourselves to changing the direction of our response can be a great boon, when we are able.

I have to add this one to my playlist this was amazing. But at the same time funny. You make a great point with the blue car andn the Chihuahua. 😀😉. And why it's funny!! I do believe that maybe I've been healed. When I hear my ex husband name Robert or and woman he had the affair with OR any name that associated with him. I don't have to get upset. I can just say thank you teacher 🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️
It is truly a process that's why this has to be added to the playlist.
Thank you teacher for shining light on the trigger that can free me instead of frustrating me and having me to curse. 🌻🧡 🙏🏽

Thank you 🙏🏼 💗

Love your voice and the pace and intrinsic style and very insightful🌟💛

What a refreshing perspective. So many are so quick to indignant offense in response to a trigger. The thought of meeting it with grace and an uplifted view is simply transformative. 🙏🏻

Bless you for this beautiful gift. I really need to be reminded of this more than ever at the moment. Your gentle & compassionate guidance makes me feel supported. Your analogy is terrific & so effective that it’s a game changer. Thank you for reminding us to take deep breaths in between the narrative. I would’ve liked a little more focus on the breathing. Ooh, & “eat a chair” 🪑was hilarious. 🤣😂😁

I’m so grateful for this talk. It’s an absolute gem 💎 Many blessings to you.
😇🙏🌏💙🌊🦋✨

Oh my gosh, you think in similar fashion with my world. I am so glad I found you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you for this beautiful opportunity to learn a new way of being in the world!

Just what I needed!

Love this! Great, concise message with some humor thrown in.. I love small, concrete things I can do, and this has one. Thank you!

Great message.

Excellent to support someone who notices the shift in behaviour but does not know where it comes from. Much appreciated 🙏

A great reframe.

“Eat a chair” 😆 I freaking love you. How did you get so wise, soothing and AUTHENTIC all at once?! Grateful for your meditations.

Wonderful, Betsy. Thank you 💕

Much appreciated 🕉

Betsy I love this idea 💡. Hello teacher. 🙏

Betsy! I'm truly digging your meditations. What I loved most about this one was the idea of using GRIT! That was super helpful. I also appreciated your prompts to breathe. And finally, what a beautiful turn, to regard triggers as teachers. Bring it! I feel ready now.

Excellent, thanks

That was an extremely big help to me! Thank you so much! Just know that you changed my heart today 🙏🏻❤️

Amazing!

Thank you

Thank you! A beautiful reminder as I lay in bed in the morning. You always pack such amazing knowledge and wisdom in just a few moments

A brilliant and natural way to reframe a trigger and ultimately begin the process of letting it go, eliminating the power we unconsciously gave it, and most importantly go within to transform ourselves.
Thank you for sharing this elegant path towards stepping into our power to heal and transform.

An absolutely beautiful way to look at triggers. I’m going to try it. 🙏

Thank you for your gifts and talents. Truly helpful and beautiful.

Thank you 🙏
