The Trigger Shadow

Discover the Hidden Gold in Your Triggers 

In the golden shadow method, we say triggers are treasures because triggers play a key role in the healing process. Triggers are not our enemies, they are our allies, a built-in natural mechanism for healing and transformation. Melanie Ryan is the author of Triggers are Treasures, the first book in the series, “The Secrets of the Golden Shadow.” She is the creator of Trigger Work, a ground-breaking process focused on viewing triggers as our greatest teachers, helping us to heal and awaken our full human potential. 

 

Triggers are Your Teacher 

Triggers are not your enemy, though some may feel negative, painful, and even destructive. But triggers are a natural, built-in mechanism for healing and integration. 

Triggers point out that you have repressed both dark and golden qualities. Keep in mind that you have also repressed positive qualities just as much as your pain. In Trigger Work, we focus on the pure energy of the trigger activation, not whether it creates discomfort or pleasure. Many connect triggers to the negative, yet feeling joy and excitement is a positive trigger activating the golden shadow. This is an important shift in perspective that changes everything. 

 

Melanie Ryan’s Trigger Work process teaches you how to work with your internal energies as a guide, using them as signals from the unconscious and keys for transformation. In Trigger Work, you are taught the skills to observe and investigate all your energetic activations. These positive and negative activations are full of information designed to help us remember what we have buried and forgotten. 

 

Trigger Work is a deeply psycho-spiritual and transformational process that teaches you the skills to slow down and use your triggers as teachers. To listen to them, observe them, investigate them. How to transmute when necessary and how to integrate them. Trigger work is a freedom practice, informed by the three pillars of the Golden Shadow Method and takes you deeper into working with your energy from this lifetime and other timelines. Triggers take you very deep into the collective unconscious and you learn how shadow projection is happening everyday of your life.
