Trigger Mechanisms and Internal States
by: Laura Silva Quesada
Trigger Mechanisms
A trigger mechanism can be a specific experience of any of the physical senses that releases or activates a conditioned or predictable response. It could be an image, sound, sensation, smell, or taste.
The most practical trigger mechanism is one that is subtle, so that you can use it openly without attracting attention, and is slightly different than anything else you do.
Trigger mechanisms are best used to access empowering thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, resources, and feelings. They can easily be established or programmed by the person desiring the benefits.
Before programming the trigger mechanism, select the word, gesture, or image that will serve the purpose. A very popular trigger mechanism is one where the fingers of either hand touch in a specific manner that is slightly different than the usual, unnoticeable, and comfortable; such as the thumb and following fingers touching.
The best and most effective time to program your trigger mechanism is during a quiet meditation. Select the purpose for wanting to use the trigger mechanism such as:
Desiring to be calm and in control during an upcoming stressful situation
Remembering information during a test
For attunement
Once you have selected a purpose for the trigger mechanism, enter a meditative state, and when you are very relaxed, think of and imagine the upcoming situation. Imagine the scene out and away from you as if projected on a Mental Movie Screen. Then, imagine being in that situation in the exact manner you desire to be; being at your best.
Bring back memories of when you have been at your best in similar situations. Enhance those positive feelings; feelings of confidence, self-control, being relaxed, being capable, and others. When you have the image and feelings of yourself in that upcoming situation just right, step into the image. Once you step into the image, experience it with full association, as if you were actually there and at your very best. At that moment, put your finger(s) and thumb together, and say to yourself mentally:
"Whenever I have a need or desire to feel this way, be this way, or think this way, all I have to do is use my trigger, and it will be so."
Once you have locked in the desired response, you may count to yourself mentally from 1 - 3, and open your eyes.
Whenever you need or desire to use your trigger mechanism, simply put your finger(s) and thumb together and bring back the desired empowering thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, resources and/or feelings.
TRIGGER MECHANISM FOR STUDYING AND TEST TAKING
Use your trigger mechanism while studying or listening to a lesson.
To program for this purpose simply enter your meditation and tell yourself mentally,
"I am going to use my trigger mechanism any time I read or hear any lesson from now on. I will have keen concentration and understanding."
I will close my eyes and identify the lesson before starting.
I will make mental pictures of the lesson whenever possible.
And I will remember the information in the lesson anytime in the future with the use of my trigger mechanism."
Whenever you need to remember the lesson, such as when taking a test, put your fingers together, take a deep breath, relax, and mentally tell yourself,
"The information for this test will come to me freely and easily."
Read the test questions and answer all questions you know the answers to. If you do not have the answer, then, skip that question and move on to the next one.
Next, go back to the unanswered questions, take a deep breath, relax, and read the questions. Take a little more time on the questions. Let the answers come to you and write them down.
If there is still a question left unanswered, read the unanswered question, close your eyes, and mentally ask someone who knows the answer for the information. Clear your mind for a moment by thinking of something unrelated and start figuring out the answer. Write down the answer that comes. In most cases it is better to answer all the questions than to leave them unanswered.
Remember, by identifying the lesson beforehand, making mental pictures as you learn, and programming the use of the trigger mechanism for learning and recall, you have made very strong impressions on brain cells. Strongly impressed information leads to easier recall.
TRIGGER MECHANISM FOR ATTUNEMENT
Your can always program your trigger mechanism so as to be more attuned to any person, place, or thing. This will allow for you to have heightened sensitivity to that person, place, or thing.
This application is ideal for locating lost items. Before programming the trigger mechanism for locating a lost item, hold another item of similar makeup in your hand, (for example, a key) and enter your meditation. Put your fingers and thumb together during the meditation, and mentally say to yourself.
"I am going to become highly sensitive to the keys I have misplaced. They are and feel similar to the key I am now holding. I will allow the misplaced keys to draw me towards them. I will be sensitive to them and to where they are placed."
Bring yourself out of the meditation, and in a very relaxed manner and using your trigger mechanism, walk around in the area where you think the keys were misplaced, and let them draw you towards them.
FOR GENERAL USE
Your trigger mechanism can be used at any time during your day when you desire to be more calm, receptive, and in control. It helps you to think more clearly, helping you to solve problems more effectively. Having a clear understanding with yourself that you are going to use it for that purpose is all you need in order to get the benefits.
Your trigger mechanism can truly make your life easier and more enjoyable.
