How To Use Triggers To Enhance Your Goddess Glow-Up
The label “trigger warning” often elicits a variety of reactions. Some people will shy away from the content to protect themselves. Others won’t hesitate to engage with triggering experiences because the media and modern culture have trained humanity to react constantly. Only when we work to raise our level of consciousness do we break from unhealthy thought habits that cause reactionary behavior.
While certain content undeniably warrants caution, many instances of trigger warnings wrap candid discussions in unnecessary layers of protection. By shielding individuals from discomfort, we inadvertently hinder many from their growth potential. Triggers, in essence, are the mind, body, and soul's subtle directives urging us to deepen our self-healing journey. These are markers calling our attention to areas that need work. This is the essence of shadow work.
Once a seeker has achieved a solid foundation in mind, body, and soul harmony, I teach my gods and goddesses in the making to use triggers for rapid and profound personal development. Indeed, encountering triggers presents an opportunity for introspection and mindful evolution, provided one approaches them with self-awareness and a readiness to learn.
If you are on the inner journey and are ready to hug your shadow side, a necessary part of living in bliss, here is the fundamental process I teach in my emotional mastery workshop. This overarching process can help you to harness your triggers for personal growth:
Recognition and Acknowledgment: Identify situations, behaviors, or remarks that consistently provoke strong emotional responses. Delve into the patterns and specific triggers that significantly influence your psyche.
Pause and Reflect: Upon encountering a trigger, take a moment to pause and observe your immediate emotional and physical reactions. Tune into the sensations coursing through your body, the thoughts swirling in your mind, and the intensity of your emotions. Cultivating mindful awareness creates a vital space between the trigger and your response.
Exploration of Root Causes: Dive beneath the surface to unearth why a particular trigger holds sway over you. Triggers invariably trace back to past experiences, deeply ingrained beliefs, or unresolved emotional scars. Reflect on the symbolism inherent in the trigger and its resonance with your narrative or core principles.
Embrace Self-Compassion: Extend a hand of self-compassion rather than chastising yourself for succumbing to triggers. Understand that triggers constitute a natural facet of the human experience, and it's perfectly acceptable to undergo emotional upheavals. Approach yourself with gentleness and empathy as you navigate the terrain of personal growth.
Extracting Lessons and Growth Opportunities: Having identified the trigger and its root cause, glean insights into the lessons it offers. Pose questions to yourself: What insights does this trigger unveil regarding my beliefs or apprehensions? How might I craft a response that aligns with my values? What skills or perspectives can I cultivate to surmount this trigger in the future?
Seek Support When Necessary: Should you find traversing triggers independently daunting, consider enlisting the aid of a mentor, counselor, or trusted confidant. They can furnish invaluable guidance, perspectives, and tools to help you navigate triggers and nurture personal growth.
Employ Healthy Coping Mechanisms: As you embark on the journey of personal growth, devise healthy coping strategies to contend with triggers as they arise. These strategies could encompass deep breathing exercises, mindfulness techniques, journaling, cognitive reframing, or engaging in activities that foster joy and relaxation.
Remember, personal growth is an iterative process necessitating patience and perseverance. Embrace triggers as opportunities for self-exploration, leveraging them to deepen your self-awareness and fortify your overall well-being. In doing so, you'll inch closer to embodying the divine essence of a goddess, empowered by your capacity for growth and transformation.

SHAMAN ISIS ON MENTAL HEALTH, RAISING CONSCIOUNESS, AND MORE
Our conversation with Shaman Isis, a real-life goddess, delved into intriguing topics such as mental health, the elevation of consciousness, and the much-anticipated new issue of SoulTech Magazine.
You have a lot going on. You are a best-selling author, publisher, teacher, producer, mom, and more. How do you keep all those balls in the air and stay in mind, body, and soul harmony?
I don't always do it perfectly, and that aspect is sometimes missing from the spiritual conversation. The truth is that I have a solid program for staying on top of my wellness, but I am also very human and slip on occasion. I wish we didn't idolize the ideal of perfection in spirituality, as I think it turns a lot of people off to the journey and is something that is rooted in religion, not spirituality.
You openly share your struggles with mental health in your best-seller Memory Mansion, the magazine, the podcast, and your social content. What is the most important thing you have learned on that journey to self-love?
Mental health awareness is very important to me. I spent years silently suffering and watched many struggle with their mental fitness. Shadow work, using my triggers for growth, and slowly raising my consciousness dramatically changed my life. The most important thing I learned on my journey is that raising human consciousness is the answer to the mental health crisis, and it has since become the mission of all of my work. We live in a world that teaches us to be victims and deluges us with fear-based narratives that keep us living at the lower levels of the human consciousness scale.
How does someone raise their consciousness?
Our life experience is rooted in our thought habits. When we slip into unhealthy thoughts, we change our mental state, which changes our emotional state, energy in motion, and frequency and vibration. That vibe becomes our experience. When we replace our unhealthy thought habits with quality thoughts and use our triggers to practice new, healthy ways of living, we move up the human consciousness scale from fear, guilt, and envy to intention and love. With time and practice replacing unhealthy cycles with healthy thoughts, you move up to bliss and fall in love with life again.
We love the cover of the goddess issue. You look badass and are redefining what is possible over 50. Tell us about the cover and issue.
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with that. We went back and forth about doing a shoot and then realized we could have many more options using AI. So, we took a photo from the book launch during Miami Art Week and combined it with goddess-themed AI. I am happy with how it turned out. I look and feel better than I ever did in my 40s. The patriarchy has taught the world to dismiss older women because they hold too much wisdom. Just look at how they label women as they get older: far more insulting phrases than cool ones. I say, fu%k that. Women are more valuable as they age. We tend to enter our true goddess era when we let go of what other people think.
This is your second issue of the magazine. So, what inspired the goddess theme?
Every person I have met who has learned self-love and practices conscious living glows with what can only be described as their god or goddess-self. We are all capable of being a god or goddess. This is what I teach in my book, workshops and retreats. When we are in flow with the universe, we are magical. I fought that flow for a long time with unhealthy patterns. So, this issue is dedicated to everyone on the journey to their most divine self. I like to think of it as inspiration for your hero's journey.
What's next?
We just had a fantastic kick-off to the Soundbites2Solutions event series in NYC with political leaders, so I look forward to the next one. We have terrific guests coming up on SoulTech's Citizen Journalist podcast. I have a mini retreat in NY based on the book in August and a longer one in September. I can't even believe I am going to put this in writing, but it's almost time to start book 3. Yikes! However, I love challenging myself and will always have a lot going on. It keeps you thriving.

What role do ancient wisdom or spiritual traditions play in the modern conversation surrounding reproductive health and body autonomy, especially within the goddess-themed issue of SoulTech magazine?
Ancient wisdom and spiritual traditions offer profound insights into the modern discourse on reproductive health and body autonomy. These traditions have long honored the sacredness of the female body, recognizing its inherent connection to the cycles of life and creation. Rituals, ceremonies, and teachings from these traditions emphasize the importance of nurturing and honoring the body as a vessel of life and divine energy. Our co-founder and CEO is a strong advocate for integrating ancient wisdom with evidence-based modern medicine. As an OBGYN who is also a trained Kundalini teacher, Breathwork facilitator, avid meditator, explorer of plant medicines and various other ancestral traditions from India to Latin America, she cultivates this in the vision of Aya Contigo and what it can offer. In today's world, integrating ancient wisdom into discussions on reproductive health allows for a holistic approach that considers the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of wellness. By drawing upon these teachings, individuals can cultivate a deeper understanding of their bodies and make empowered choices about their reproductive journeys. Aya Contigo serves as a platform for exploring the intersection of spirituality and reproductive health, providing insights, perspectives, and companionship that inspire readers to embrace their bodies with reverence and respect.

We strive to dismantle systemic barriers and address inequities that impact individuals' access to reproductive health care and information by advocating for policies and practices that uphold the rights and dignity of all individuals. We work to create a world where everyone can exercise their reproductive autonomy freely and without judgment. We believe that the embodiment of divine femininity is inseparable from the empowerment of individuals in their reproductive health choices and journeys.
How does Vitala Global foster a sense of interconnectedness and harmony between individuals and the natural cycles of life, reflecting the reverence often associated with goddess-centered spirituality?

We encourage individuals to tune into their bodies' natural rhythms and cycles, fostering a deeper understanding of their reproductive health and overall well-being. We draw inspiration from goddess-centered spirituality, which often emphasizes the sacredness of the feminine and the cyclical nature of life. By honoring the divine feminine within ourselves and in the world around us, we cultivate a sense of reverence and respect for the interconnected web of life that sustains us all. Through our work, we aim to create a supportive and nurturing environment where individuals can embrace their connection to the natural world and find harmony within themselves and their reproductive health journeys.
