Embracing Triggers: Navigating Religious Trauma in Spiritual Growth

Many times, we're unaware of the triggers or hidden pain buried deep within us until circumstances unexpectedly bring them to the surface.

Recently, I found myself confronted with a trigger I hadn't considered necessary to address: religious trauma—a profound part of my past that I had hoped to leave behind as I embraced a new phase of life.

Unbeknownst to me, in the recesses of my energy, lay the imprints of religious beliefs and experiences that had shaped me significantly.

I had assumed I could relegate those beliefs to the past, relying on my newfound sense of self and spirituality to guide me authentically.

However, as I ventured into embracing my gifts, and sharing them with others, I found myself repeatedly drawn back to church settings—albeit more open and spiritually inclusive ones like spiritualist or Unitarian churches.

Despite spending most of my time in non-denominational and Pentecostal churches, stepping into these alternative spaces stirred up a sense of anger within me.

I realized that this anger and hurt needed acknowledgment and healing for me to realign with my highest self and embody a genuine energy of love for all, including religious individuals.

As a spiritual teacher and psychic medium, I recognized that many teachings and gatherings surrounding these practices occur within certain settings, including churches.

However, my unresolved pain prevented me from comfortably sharing my gifts in such environments.

It became evident that without addressing this hidden hurt, I would remain confined by my discomfort and inability to move beyond the anger associated with church settings.

I've come to appreciate triggers—they serve as gateways to reveal the concealed aspects of our energy that impede progress or hold us back in life.
For me, this unexplored territory is where I need to direct my attention.

If you're someone undergoing a spiritual awakening or have experienced a deconstruction of religious beliefs, you might also harbor similar unresolved emotions and lingering anger in the shadows of your life.

Embrace these emotional triggers; confront them openly as part of your journey towards aligning with your authentic self and reconnecting with your higher spirit.

Recognizing and addressing these hidden aspects is crucial.

Without acknowledging the blocks hindering our growth, we may never fully embrace the life meant for us—an existence free from limitations imposed by unresolved pain and hidden traumas.

By leaning into discomfort, by confronting these triggers head-on, we not only heal but also liberate ourselves to embrace a more profound sense of authenticity and spiritual alignment, allowing us to stride confidently towards the life we're meant to live.
