Coping with Triggers: Insights for Sensitive Souls

This post answers questions for The Council from a reader named Christea17.

Christea: Hello, everyone. My question for The Council is: How can I navigate life as a highly sensitive person? It often feels like I’m playing life on extra hard mode. I get triggered multiple times a day, and spend most of my time just trying to cope.

Council: When you take the body and put some math into it, it changes the perception. It changes the feeling. So when you get triggered during the day, it would be good to say (and maybe write it down), “Okay, this is the second time today I’m triggered. What is triggering it?” Then when it happens again, “It is the third time I am triggered. What is triggering me? So you are putting numbers into what’s happening.

Sometimes you can figure out what triggered it, and why, but when you put the numbers in and say, “Oh, okay, today I was triggered 25 times. Let’s do it again tomorrow.” Start counting again. How many times am I triggered? It is just a number. Look at the trigger. See what the pattern is. Is it the same thing over and over? You will see where it comes from and what is needed to change it. But first, when you start this, add the numbers.

Christea: Sometimes it takes me days, or even weeks, to recover from experiences that seem common or minor to other people. For me, these stressors always seem to strike at my core and completely shake me up. My body also tends to somatize stress very easily, so I end up not only mentally and emotionally shaken, but physically as well.

Council: In a lifetime in the 1400s, when there were these great witch hunts, you, unfortunately, were a young child about 13 years old, and had to hide most of your lifetime from being captured, or burned, or hanged, or drowned as a witch.

So you would get feelings in your body, and you might not know why you are so nervous. What is affecting my body? It is the wounds from that particular lifetime. And so be aware of that. That will help you when you go through it, like, “Oh, okay, I’m really being triggered. I guess maybe I was hiding in a forest, or under a house, or somewhere else. That’s why it’s affecting my body.” And then you go into the saying, “That was then, this is now. It is different, but I’m feeling it to recognize it, and let it go by knowing it is not happening now.”

Christea: On top of the mental, emotional, and being physically ill, I live with several chronic ailments which make daily life even more challenging.

Council: And that would all come from the memories, the fear that you experienced in that lifetime. It will go to different parts of the body. Learn what parts of the body are set off by different emotions: anger is the liver, and the heart is anger, and the legs are fear, not going forward, being captured. Learn about the body, and then you will understand why it’s affecting this organ, that organ, this part of the body. It will all come together.

Christea: These chronic ailments weaken my sense of vulnerability, make everything even harder to bear, and dims my sense of hope. I feel so unstable and exhausted all the time.

Council: We would change that word, unstable, and say, unsafe. That was you in that past life.

Christea: This situation has caused me a lot of frustration, and has eroded my trust in myself, and my hope.

Council: How can you possibly trust? In that lifetime, could you trust others? You didn’t know who to trust. Could you trust yourself to save yourself? Was that possible? So all of that is wrapped together, and that’s where your answer comes.

Perhaps when you study about the witch hunts and what happened, maybe it will set off a memory. Things that you need to know will come forward. But in this reality, you are meant to be safe, you are meant to be healthy, so just find the answers that would make you afraid. Why would you be afraid? So many reasons. And fear will affect the body.

So go into that past life. Find the fears. Imagine what it could be. And then keep saying to yourself the famous saying, “That was then, this is now. I’m here. Once I calm down, once I know I am safe, I don’t have to hide, the physical ailments will disappear.

Christea: How can I stop feeling so vulnerable, and start building strength, health, and a greater sense of empowerment?

Council: Well, what we just told you. And, of course, eat better, and rest, and do all of the normal things that would make you feel better.

And so we wish you love, and peace, and happiness on your journey. And just enjoy. Find things to enjoy, and the rest will take care of itself.

Living Infinite Lives: Insights on Spirit Realms

This post answers some very interesting questions for The Council from a reader named, Clark.

Clark: Hello. Do you have food in heaven that you can eat, for example, kebab, or baked potatoes?

Council: (Laughing) Yes, we do.

Clark: Can you play Xbox, or get your own PC or MacBook Pro?

Council: You can do that also.

Clark: Also, do we live infinite lives on Earth, or do we reach a point in which we have lived and experienced enough to stay in heaven forever?

Council: So, in answer to your question, you can have whatever you want. You can make your situation in heaven where your stomach never gets full and you constantly, constantly eat. You can make it where you never have to eat because it’s not important. You can have it where you sleep forever and forever, or you can have it where you never get tired and you never have to sleep.

The point of this is, first of all, when you’re in the position of passing over, what you think of, and what you believe, is what you experience. So if you’re looking for angels, or you’re looking to be in heaven, you will have that experience. If, for some reason you are guilty, or you are angry, or you are afraid and you’re going to wind up in the other place (Hell), that’s what you will go through until you realize who you really are. And some people realize it right away, and some people, it just goes on and on.

You are a spirit, and the way you create your life in your reality now, you create your afterlife. So it’s all what you believe. It can be as beautiful or as horrible as you want. There are no rules to follow. There’s nothing that you have to do to get in there (heaven). There’s no password. You just experience what you believe.

And you can be there for a timeless period, or you can jump right back into another life, but we can tell you that there is no spirit that wants to stay in heaven, or stay in the afterlife forever and not come back. It’s too much fun. There’s too many things that you want to experience. You hear from other spirits what they went through and how they handle it. You want to try it.

So a spirit never just wants to lay around forever. You want to come in and have some fun. Or you want to be very brave. Or you want to experience a life that you haven’t had before. You want families. You don’t want families. You want to be rich. You want to be poor. There is so much that you want to do. And so many other spirits that you know, that you want to come back with and have some fun, or have some challenges, or help each other grow.

So your reality in the afterlife can come up with your Xboxes, and movies, or many, many cars, or stores to go and shop in, and malls to play in, or houses to live in. Whatever it is that you want, you can create it.

Bob: To get back to Clark’s question: Do we live infinite lives on Earth? Is that a yes or no question?

Council: You live infinite lives, period. Whether they are on Earth, or they are in another galaxy, like so many love the Pleiadians. You live in a limitless environment. Wherever it is you want to go, whatever it is you want to experience, that’s what you will create. There is no ending.

Bob: But no spirit wants to stay in heaven forever?

Council: No. It’s too much fun. You’d miss it.

Bob: And I’m under the impression that spirits can live lives on Earth, as well as other places.

Council: Wherever they (spirits) want to exist.

And you can go into the past and live a past life again. Maybe there’s a period in history you’ve heard about and you wonder, “Oooh, I would have liked to be there.” Well, you can.

Bob: Can you go into more detail about that?

Council: As spirit, you can project yourself forward, backward, anywhere you want to go. So if you want to learn about living during the witch hunts, you can create your spirit to go in that time. The time never ends. That period is still there, and you can project yourself into it, and live it, and then when it’s over, you come and rest in your heaven. Or you say, “That was fun. Let me do it again. Or let me see where else I want to go.”
