To embody effective & conscious leadership we must do 1 vital thing:

Discover out triggers patterns & learn how to dance with them masterfully so they they do not  derail is from making our greatest impact.

As the core driver of ALL our behaviour (especially our less desirable traits) is our emotions, any Leader who is not actively learning how to work with & gain mastery amidst theirs is doing their team, community & mission a disservice.

Not only that, but repressed emotional triggers are now being recognised as the leading primary cause of pathology in most diseases - stress leading to all manner of diseases from heart disease to autoimmune conditions.

So let’s get to work.

What is the Purification of Consciousness?

This is a process taken directly from an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) process known as Recapitulation. The aim of this process is to find the patterns that emerge in what triggers us so that we can identify core places where we will likely be acting from the victim/wounding and thus, not align with our highest vision for ourselves and our mission. Awareness is the first step to changing our behaviour & improving all outcomes in work, relationships & life.

What do we mean by trigger?

A trigger is something that makes you feel agitated - the opposite of peaceful or calm.
Examples of a trigger may be:

Emotional - Feelings of anger, powerlessness, grief, self-doubt, shame, guilt, cold heartedness…

If you find it hard to connect to your emotional states then other example of triggers include:

Mental - Internal stories of “they don’t care about me”, feelings of superiority/wanting to cut people off abruptly, feeling vindicated for mean behaviour towards another “they deserve it” etc

Physical - Feelings of heart racing, feeling suddenly deflated/exhausted after a conversation etc…
Anything that makes you suddenly want to - drink alcohol, snack, smoke, complain to a friend, nap, do excessive online shopping etc…

Importantly do not confuse feelings of animosity, detachment or being spaced out after a triggering experience, as ‘not being triggered’. This may mean that you are dissociating and are finding psychological safety by distancing yourself emotionally from the situation that is triggering you. Try and stay present to triggers that make you want to distance yourself by numbing out (behaviours listed above) by taking some deep breaths and stating commitment to your own inner emotional mastery. And importantly, by reminding yourself that you are safe in this moment, here, on your own doing your inner work. No one can get you, you are doing this out of choice.

How to do it?

Ideally print this document out so you have it in paper format.

If you go very deep this process can take anywhere between 4-5hours, so give yourself all the time you need to do this thoroughly. The more time you invest in this the greater the results.

Stay present to what is triggering you NOW, not what triggered you when you were a teenager etc. The focus is your present life circumstances.

Stay compassionate towards yourself as you get to know yourself deeply.

This is not about “getting rid” of undesirable emotions/behaviours. This attitude simply reinforces these behaviours in our subconscious. We are here to love and accept all parts of ourselves and to find a new way to relate to our innermost experiences - this will create the change we seek.

Remember that each trigger you identify does not define YOU, it is simply a part of you that you get to honour, witness & find love for. All of our triggers serve to protect inner child parts of us that need love, attention & care. So go gently and remember: You are not your anger, you are not your self-doubt, you are YOU beyond all of these aspects of you, the loving witness of all that is passing through your emotional field.

Remember this & witness your process from this place of non-judgements and compassion for all you have been through that created these self-defences in the first place.

Once you have completed it

Note down any clear patterns that have emerged. You will see that the parts of yourself that get triggered often re-emerge again and again.

Thank and acknowledge these parts and then take some time connect with them and ask what they are trying to protect you from?

And beyond that, what they need from you/want you to know so that you can move forward in Life with more calm, peace & ease.

Thank them for the lessons, perhaps make some resolutions/promises to yourself.

The ask yourself, “does anything need to be said, done or forgiven” for any/all of these triggers? If yes then set yourself the task of doing them.

Once you feel complete it can be very powerful to make a fire and burn the pages holding the intention for new ways of responding to easefully & graciously to manifest in your psyche for the good of all you love & do. And whatever else feels important to you eg. Saving your marriage/stopping addictive behaviours etc.

Where to go from here?

This process is designed to create awareness of the Self & serves as a foundation for onwards contemplation & active healing.

The first step in any Transformational process is awareness, acknowledgement & acceptance. Once we’ve developed acceptance of who we are & how we function in this now moment then change can truly begin!

This PDF is designed to get you to acceptance but does not promise any resolution of your trigger patterns. That often requires deeper work, though sometimes simple awareness is enough for big shifts to occur!

If you are curious about what that looks like & are ready to take those steps towards greater self mastery then I would love to support you. Please feel free to contact me here. If not me a good therapist, counsellor, healer or whoever you feel guided towards could be a great next step for ongoing support in moving beyond your destructive emotional behaviours.

Whatever you decide, I wish you the very best for your onwards Journey into deeper emotional mastery in service to your life’s Mission.
