This week, on The Conscious Consultant Hour, it’s just Sam as he delves deep into the topic of our own personal work.
We tend to get upset and shy away from feeling bad. We hate to be triggered into feeling those uncomfortable feelings that anger us, sadden us, or enrage us. Yet those moments in time are where the gold of our personal work lies. They show us where we still have patterns to unwind and feelings to process. They literally rattle us awake in our lives.
Sam will touch upon his chapter in the new book - Rattle Awake Volume Six, The Podcasters' Edition - which comes out today, where he relates his story of what he learned when he start to do ceremonial work with psychedelics.
Join Sam as he shares about his own personal process and why we should all cherish those sore spots that bring us to the uncomfortable.

Presenting a unique edition featuring you and Sam in today's episode! Stay tuned for upcoming shows. Sam is excited to share the launch of a mythology book co-authored with eight others, now accessible on Amazon. Additionally, Sam delves into a blog post from the past, available at talkradio.nyc/blog. Check out the highlighted post titled "Embracing challenges as opportunities for personal growth."
Reflecting on his life journey, Sam expresses amazement at being a published author. His latest book, "Rattled Awake," is now accessible on Kindle and Amazon. You can find the Kindle purchase link at https://lnkd.in/e-faPcND. In the book, Sam candidly shares his encounters with psychedelics, weaving a compilation of stories about transformative experiences that awakened consciousness. While Sam has typically kept his work with psychedelics private, he provides a glimpse into his initial experience in the book.
In his contribution to "Rattled Awake," Sam connects it to the blog post discussed at the episode's outset regarding triggers. He encourages the audience to ponder who triggers them the most in their lives, often finding it to be those closest to them. This dynamic arises from projecting specific desires or ideals onto loved ones, which may not be entirely fair. Sam suggests that psychedelic exploration can aid in uncovering the root causes of these triggers. Emphasizing that being triggered isn't negative, he frames it as a call to delve deeper into self-reflection.
Sam extends a brief acknowledgment to his fellow authors in the recently collaborated book. Recognizing that being triggered is a fundamental aspect of the human experience, he emphasizes that embracing personal development is the key to confronting our rattles or triggers with compassion. This process requires conscious and intentional effort, as triggers frequently stem from misplaced anger, whether originating within oneself or coming from others.
00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:45.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you good.

00:03:28.200 --> 00:03:34.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Well, I hope you all have had a wonderful beginning to the year.
00:03:34.850 --> 00:03:49.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And actually coming up is Chinese. New Year's is next weekend and we're into the year of the Dragon. So we're really moving around at a very interesting time.
00:03:50.760 --> 00:04:00.720 So let me get to my blog post. As is the tradition. This is from a couple of years ago, but it's actually very, very relevant.
00:04:00.790 --> 00:04:05.139 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: at least for myself lately.
00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:10.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that it's just something that II always keep in mind in something that I've
00:04:11.320 --> 00:04:16.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: learn to truly appreciate. And the title of this blog post is
00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:21.310 the triggers that take us out of presence
00:04:21.670 --> 00:04:24.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: are opportunities to grow.
00:04:25.900 --> 00:04:33.060 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Sometimes things get messy. we lose focus and presence, and we slip up.
00:04:34.100 --> 00:04:46.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Perhaps it is in our communications or our expectations being messy, is not the problem. It is merely a symptom.
00:04:47.610 --> 00:04:50.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a symptom of something else.
00:04:51.760 --> 00:04:55.850 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a sign that perhaps we are distracted.
00:04:57.210 --> 00:05:00.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that we are not being fully
00:05:00.510 --> 00:05:01.580 present.
00:05:02.590 --> 00:05:04.479 When that happens
00:05:04.940 --> 00:05:08.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: there is something more going on.
00:05:09.780 --> 00:05:14.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that is the time to stop and ask ourselves.
00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:18.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: why am I not present?
00:05:18.950 --> 00:05:25.469 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It is a sign to stop what we are doing, and take a moment to find our centre.
00:05:26.610 --> 00:05:29.179 to ground our energy
00:05:30.110 --> 00:05:33.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and come back to the task at hand.
00:05:34.470 --> 00:05:40.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we are still not being fully present, then we have to take a deeper look.
00:05:42.170 --> 00:05:43.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Are we tired?
00:05:44.570 --> 00:05:52.560 Have we not been taking care of ourselves. Is there some emotion coming up that wants to be expressed?
00:05:53.610 --> 00:06:01.330 There can be any number of reasons why we are not being present to find the real reason.
00:06:02.010 --> 00:06:04.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we must go back to the trigger.
00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:10.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What was it that caused us to lose focus? In the first place.
00:06:11.880 --> 00:06:16.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was there something some one said or did that threw us off?
00:06:17.280 --> 00:06:19.840 Did we experience something that felt
00:06:19.910 --> 00:06:22.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: out of integrity or alignment.
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:29.270 Finding that Trigger point is the start of the breadcomb trail.
00:06:30.650 --> 00:06:35.910 then it is up to us to follow that trail and see where it will lead us.
00:06:38.010 --> 00:06:44.799 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Is it a familiar feeling? Does the feeling take us back to a childhood. Experience
00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:50.189 is the energy around the situation something we have felt before.
00:06:51.410 --> 00:06:56.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Finding that trail can then help us to get closer to the core
00:06:57.780 --> 00:07:00.149 of our lack of presence
00:07:00.710 --> 00:07:03.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and help us to regain our center.
00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:13.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When we know that, whatever the trigger is, it is not really about what is going on in the present moment that can really help.
00:07:14.950 --> 00:07:25.459 We may not live in the past yet. We keep it alive within us by allowing those triggers to bring the energy back into our lives.
00:07:26.620 --> 00:07:36.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Presence and true awareness can help us to move past them and live life in a new manner.
00:07:38.570 --> 00:07:42.050 Where in your life are you being triggered?
00:07:42.760 --> 00:07:53.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What does that trigger lead you? Where does that trigger lead you? Can you let go of that old energy and face the current situation
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in a fresh way.
00:07:58.820 --> 00:07:59.890 So
00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:02.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: this
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: your blog post I wrote a couple of years ago.
00:08:07.490 --> 00:08:14.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it was all about, and it's all about really being triggered. What do we mean when we, when we say being triggered?
00:08:16.370 --> 00:08:28.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So being triggered is when we have a strong emotional response to something. and normally it's not such a good feeling, emotional response. Somebody
00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:34.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: cuts us off in traffic, and we get all upset and yell at them.
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:48.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we're having a conversation with our partner or spouse, and and they and they seem to not be listening to us, or they say something that has nothing to do with what we're just talking about. We get all upset at them.
00:08:50.370 --> 00:08:57.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: were having dinner with a friend. and somebody in the next table is loud and obnoxious, and we allow it
00:08:58.370 --> 00:09:01.989 to pull us away from the conversation we're having with our friend.
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.029 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: These were all examples of different kinds of triggers.
00:09:08.370 --> 00:09:12.880 Triggers can also be something very, very deep and profound.
00:09:14.230 --> 00:09:26.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know, we're in a relationship with someone and just a mannerism triggers us because it reminds us of maybe some trauma we had when we were a child.
00:09:29.880 --> 00:09:32.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now there is no reason
00:09:33.580 --> 00:09:40.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for us to put ourselves continuously into a place where we're constantly triggered. That doesn't serve us.
00:09:41.260 --> 00:09:44.020 But in just normal day to day life
00:09:44.810 --> 00:09:47.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we're going to get triggered. Things happen.
00:09:50.010 --> 00:09:51.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The key is, though.
00:09:53.860 --> 00:10:05.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: instead of getting upset, that we're being triggered. instead of allowing that trigger to take us out of presence. pull us away from where we were.
00:10:07.280 --> 00:10:12.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and to to put us into this heightened emotional state.
00:10:16.020 --> 00:10:18.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we get curious about the trigger.
00:10:20.340 --> 00:10:24.959 especially if it's one that we're not normally aware of.
00:10:27.730 --> 00:10:29.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: if we're like. Hmm.
00:10:29.490 --> 00:10:33.939 Wonder why what that person did just upset me so much?
00:10:36.010 --> 00:10:37.740 Because inevitably.
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:43.169 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it's not really about the other person. It's always about us.
00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:56.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean, look if someone steps on our foot and we get angry because they're being careless. Of course that's about them. They're being careless. They stepped on our foot. We're feeling pain. We have a right to be triggered.
00:10:59.140 --> 00:11:05.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but the vast majority of the time our triggers are emotional and not physical.
00:11:08.530 --> 00:11:11.049 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and our triggers are not about the other person.
00:11:11.550 --> 00:11:16.060 The triggers are about something we've experienced
00:11:16.830 --> 00:11:22.680 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in the past that the current experience brings us back to.
00:11:23.500 --> 00:11:26.639 and that's what I mean by taking us out of presence.
00:11:27.650 --> 00:11:32.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because it's taking us from this place
00:11:33.540 --> 00:11:35.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of being in the here and now
00:11:36.900 --> 00:11:40.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to being in some past situation.
00:11:41.250 --> 00:11:49.999 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it might be a situation that happened a year ago 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago, 50 years ago.
00:11:54.640 --> 00:12:04.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it's taking us there. Not necessarily we can visualize it, not not necessarily in our mind, but in our bodies, in our nervous system.
00:12:04.750 --> 00:12:07.189 and how we're feeling in the moment.
00:12:09.850 --> 00:12:16.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it pulls us back there. And suddenly we're feeling anxious.
00:12:16.140 --> 00:12:21.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We're feeling angry. We're feeling scared. We're feeling upset.
00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:30.770 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We don't even know why, because most of the time those conscious associations aren't even there. It's a very unconscious association.
00:12:32.090 --> 00:12:38.719 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Our triggers are rarely conscious. because if they were conscious we wouldn't be triggered.
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:53.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But the beauty about them is our triggers. Show us where our work is when we're being triggered by something
00:12:55.040 --> 00:12:56.750 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that shows us
00:12:58.280 --> 00:13:06.530 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: there's some work here for me to do. Huh! There's something here I haven't worked through yet
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:18.910 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that there's some energy that it's keeping alive within me, that I've not yet processed. There is an experience, a memory. a situation
00:13:21.490 --> 00:13:24.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that I am stuck in.
00:13:25.990 --> 00:13:30.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and whatever it is that the other person did that triggered us
00:13:30.340 --> 00:13:35.029 is just bringing us right back to that situation.
00:13:40.760 --> 00:13:49.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that's why I say it's taking us out of presents. but that taking us out of presence when we can stop
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.820 and notice it
00:13:51.390 --> 00:13:53.740 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and give ourselves some space
00:13:54.150 --> 00:13:59.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be like. Huh! I'm being triggered. What's going on here and be curious.
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.920 Curiosity is our greatest tool
00:14:04.220 --> 00:14:06.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: when we're working with these things.
00:14:10.190 --> 00:14:15.319 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And we can be curious. We can follow that feeling.
00:14:18.090 --> 00:14:20.679 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Huh! What that person just did
00:14:21.020 --> 00:14:22.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: really makes me mad.
00:14:23.330 --> 00:14:27.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Why is this making me so mad? What is the big deal?
00:14:27.090 --> 00:14:30.780 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What does this remind me of? What have I felt like this before?
00:14:31.800 --> 00:14:45.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Oh, yeah. I remember. this reminds me of that time when that bully in school teased me, and what this person just said it felt almost the exact same way, and that still really bothers me to this day.
00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:57.410 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Oh. I'm still holding on to that energy of that bully teasing me! That's my work. What do I have to do to release
00:14:57.550 --> 00:14:58.950 that energy
00:14:59.250 --> 00:15:10.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of being triggered to release that energy of being teased. Why am I still keeping that memory alive in my nervous system?
00:15:12.290 --> 00:15:13.260 Now, look.
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:27.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we all get triggered. We're human beings. It happens we should not beat ourselves up over being triggered. even if we're being triggered by like the same thing that we get triggered on by a lot of stuff.
00:15:29.150 --> 00:15:31.670 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That's where compassion comes in.
00:15:32.870 --> 00:15:34.420 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and when we use
00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:39.860 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our presence with compassion
00:15:41.220 --> 00:15:47.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and take some courage to face the feeling behind the trigger.
00:15:48.610 --> 00:15:51.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That's where the gold is.
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:58.930 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That's where our opportunity to truly evolve exists.
00:16:00.680 --> 00:16:13.990 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because once we follow that thread and we see where it comes from. then then we can finally release that energy. Stop holding on to it.
00:16:15.010 --> 00:16:18.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and you know what the next time
00:16:18.820 --> 00:16:24.040 probably won't be triggered at all. And wouldn't that be a beautiful thing.
00:16:24.790 --> 00:16:35.879 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The point of all these triggers is to get us to be more aware, more awake work through them. so that eventually we're not triggered at all.
00:16:36.890 --> 00:16:44.699 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Does that happen in a lifetime? Probably not. But we've got a bunch of lifetimes to work through it
00:16:45.850 --> 00:16:47.859 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: all right. So
00:16:48.170 --> 00:16:56.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that is my blog post. The blog post title is the triggers that take us out of present are opportunities to grow.
00:16:56.980 --> 00:17:07.600 and you can find that, of course. on our web sites on talkradio dot NYC. Slash blog, and on the consciousconsultant.com.
00:17:08.410 --> 00:17:18.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I hope you enjoyed it. Please check out why I put out a new blog post each and every week. I hope. You enjoy them.

00:17:45.980 --> 00:17:47.669 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: being rattled awake.

00:17:52.500 --> 00:18:06.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I'll talk all about my experiences have to take a quick break. Gotta go get a tissue, and then we will be right back with the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity in just a moment.
00:19:50.430 --> 00:19:52.080 and
00:20:00.860 --> 00:20:03.510 okay. you
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.340 all
00:20:22.310 --> 00:20:38.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and welcome back to the conscious consultant hour awakening humanity. Thank you all for joining me today. As you can tell, I'm a little stuffed up today, not quite sure why. But yeah,
00:20:39.190 --> 00:20:44.829 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm really excited today. Because today,
00:20:45.120 --> 00:20:55.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I actually have to say, this book makes me a four-time author. It's hard to believe.
00:20:55.370 --> 00:21:05.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that have actually written. Well, not 4 full books. I've written one full book, but have been in 3 anthologies behind it.
00:21:05.030 --> 00:21:08.320 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm after it. So I've really
00:21:08.730 --> 00:21:26.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: been a published author quite a bit. It! It actually surprises me. That I've written this much. I mean it in in some ways it doesn't because II loved writing when I was in college. Not so much in high school.
00:21:27.280 --> 00:21:28.410 but
00:21:30.310 --> 00:21:32.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's just the opportunities
00:21:32.470 --> 00:21:35.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to to get published today
00:21:35.580 --> 00:21:39.480 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: are are so vast, and there's so many of them, it really
00:21:40.870 --> 00:21:43.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and just never ceases to amaze me. So
00:21:43.990 --> 00:22:01.039 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The the hopefully. My engineer is posting in the or posted in the description of the live streams, the link to Amazon to be able to get the kindle version of the book it's called Rattled Awake.
00:22:01.450 --> 00:22:08.729 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it's an anthology series. And this is actually Volume Number 6.
00:22:09.020 --> 00:22:11.640 And I was really quite fortunate.
00:22:12.140 --> 00:22:15.819 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Literally, I think about 2 weeks ago.
00:22:17.260 --> 00:22:23.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Yeah, I think a little over 2 weeks ago I met the editor. a lovely woman named Lonnie.
00:22:25.620 --> 00:22:27.279 who
00:22:27.580 --> 00:22:38.630 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was telling me about. You know she does these anthologies, and she's coming up with the new one where it's all for Podcasters and being a podcaster, of course
00:22:38.650 --> 00:22:42.020 she was like, Hey, Sam, would you want to be a part of it?
00:22:42.270 --> 00:22:53.460 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I was like, Yeah, sure. But you know the. And she arranges it. She does like a weekend workshop, and everyone writes their chapter over a weekend. But I wasn't available that weekend.
00:22:53.740 --> 00:23:04.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And so I said to her, I said, Can I give you mine early. Maybe I'll do it this weekend. I'll do it right away. Send it to you. You can edit it. and then included in the book.
00:23:04.710 --> 00:23:19.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and she was like, absolutely. And and again, this is an example of just kind of saying Yes to life. The opportunity came up. I had to take some time that weekend. I sat down for an afternoon.
00:23:20.020 --> 00:23:22.939 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I kind of knew what I wanted to write about.
00:23:25.080 --> 00:23:34.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and sat down and and and literally just pound it out about 1,700 words.
00:23:36.300 --> 00:23:39.759 telling the story of how I got into psychedelics.
00:23:40.010 --> 00:23:44.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and what rattled me about that experience and what I learned from it.
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.470 and it felt like
00:23:51.200 --> 00:24:02.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I love my loyal listeners, Patience, and I thank you so much for joining in on the live stream to day. And so I sat down, and I went through when I wrote the story
00:24:03.130 --> 00:24:08.370 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in an afternoon, and and it didn't take much effort per se. I mean, I.
00:24:08.550 --> 00:24:17.309 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: You know it's something I've talked about in the past, but how exactly I was going to format it for the book, and how I was going to do it. I wasn't quite sure.
00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:20.460 but I went through and wrote it in an afternoon
00:24:22.840 --> 00:24:31.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and looked over at it. you know, did about one or 2 passes through it afterwards. It seemed pretty good, pretty tight sent it off to her.
00:24:33.030 --> 00:24:41.100 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and she put it all together, and there are 8 other authors in in the book.
00:24:42.040 --> 00:24:47.150 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it's all about. The book is all about people sharing their story
00:24:47.270 --> 00:25:04.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: about something that rattled them awake. And and what do we mean by rattled away. It means something that shocked us, some experience that like opened up our eyes to something that we didn't see before. You know, something that really kind of shakes you.
00:25:06.890 --> 00:25:09.300 and in my instance, and and
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:20.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I shared this story, and I'm not. I try not to be too too public about the psychedelic work that I've done because a lot of people are are
00:25:20.540 --> 00:25:24.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just, don't understand it and are critical of it, and
00:25:24.560 --> 00:25:32.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and don't understand the healing properties and the spiritual growth that happens when you do stuff in us in a sacred way.
00:25:33.620 --> 00:25:38.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But my story, and you can read all the details in the book again. If you get the book to day, it's free.
00:25:41.340 --> 00:25:44.220 was the first facilitator that I worked with.
00:25:45.560 --> 00:25:50.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and is actually really fascinating to me, because
00:25:52.750 --> 00:25:56.369 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: not only was he Jewish, he was Israeli.
00:25:58.390 --> 00:25:59.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and
00:25:59.470 --> 00:26:06.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for most of my life I've been moving away from Jewish people, even though I'm Jewish myself, and because I'm Jewish myself.
00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:11.260 I had a lot of bad experiences when I was a kid with my fellow Jewish kids
00:26:12.050 --> 00:26:14.849 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and a lot of the stuff I just.
00:26:15.900 --> 00:26:22.219 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, when you're part of a culture. And my wife says this, too, like being Chinese.
00:26:22.330 --> 00:26:28.900 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: She sees all the not so good stuff about Chinese people being Jewish. I see all the not so good stuff about being Jewish.
00:26:30.380 --> 00:26:51.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and so I'd gotten very far away from that. And here I'm coming to do the sacred work and the Guy's Jewish. Not only was he Jewish and Israeli, but then from doing the work with him, I started meeting all these other Jewish people, and I started having more Jewish friends in my life, and I literally have more Jewish people in my life today than I've ever had before
00:26:52.060 --> 00:26:53.699 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: since since I was a kid.
00:26:56.730 --> 00:26:58.479 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And at first
00:26:58.570 --> 00:27:04.760 this guy, this facilitator that I worked with he seemed like a great guy. He seemed like he really helped people, and he did.
00:27:08.090 --> 00:27:10.879 But what I didn't know, and what I didn't see
00:27:11.990 --> 00:27:14.640 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: was that he had stopped doing his own work.
00:27:15.870 --> 00:27:25.020 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and that his own triggers and his own shadow and and his own problems eventually came out in the work.
00:27:25.750 --> 00:27:30.439 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and eventually he got in trouble for it, and he that left. He left the community.
00:27:31.030 --> 00:27:33.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: He literally left the country.
00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:38.600 and
00:27:40.030 --> 00:27:41.590 I was shocked.
00:27:41.660 --> 00:27:46.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And what had happened? It had been happening right under my nose.
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:49.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know it's not like
00:27:50.340 --> 00:27:59.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a a A. It had been happening, and I was off somewhere, and you know, I just coming in occasionally. No, it was happening right under my nose.
00:28:02.870 --> 00:28:06.509 and I just remember, you know, he used to inspire me so much.
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:13.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: He would say things like. Oh, I'm I'm not here to build a business. I'm here to create a movement.
00:28:15.850 --> 00:28:18.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and he was so good at
00:28:19.020 --> 00:28:21.680 telling people what they needed to hear.
00:28:23.230 --> 00:28:27.809 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and when they found out what he had done, and how he had hurt people.
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:32.990 All I could think of was, how could you betray the vision
00:28:33.460 --> 00:28:37.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: cause I had so bought into this vision he had shared with me.
00:28:39.910 --> 00:28:45.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And to this day that's the vision I hold on to when I do this work myself.
00:28:49.700 --> 00:28:51.090 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that it was a shock.
00:28:55.360 --> 00:29:00.520 Now did he help people? Absolutely? Did he hurt people absolutely.
00:29:03.340 --> 00:29:11.949 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But this incident of what happened, of of not really seeing what was going on. It really shook me.
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:15.309 It rattled me to my core.
00:29:19.270 --> 00:29:21.169 and while I kept doing the work
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:23.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and they kept
00:29:26.280 --> 00:29:27.870 finding my path.
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:31.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: it actually took
00:29:31.570 --> 00:29:34.620 quite a while for me to come to terms
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:36.129 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: with what had happened.
00:29:39.260 --> 00:29:43.539 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it took quite a while for me to really be able to hold
00:29:45.010 --> 00:29:50.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that somebody could be good and help people, and when I say good, I mean
00:29:50.670 --> 00:29:53.790 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: competent and and and skillful.
00:29:55.390 --> 00:29:57.010 and they can still
00:29:57.140 --> 00:30:00.880 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: have unresolved shadow issues. They can still.
00:30:02.070 --> 00:30:07.249 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know, cause harm. They can still hurt people, even if it was unintentional.
00:30:07.800 --> 00:30:10.379 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm not saying it was unintentional, I don't know.
00:30:14.630 --> 00:30:18.290 And this complexity of the human experience.
00:30:21.060 --> 00:30:28.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's a hard one to deal with sometimes these paradoxes are in our face almost every day.
00:30:33.700 --> 00:30:34.630 So
00:30:35.630 --> 00:30:38.570 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So that's what my chapter's about.
00:30:39.060 --> 00:30:44.240 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it's about. What can you do to avoid making the same mistake? I did
00:30:45.260 --> 00:30:47.610 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so I hope you will go and check. Out

00:31:25.830 --> 00:31:34.810 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and about why being rattled and being triggered. Basically, the same thing is actually a good thing for us.

00:31:59.520 --> 00:32:00.569 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: just a moment.
00:34:05.810 --> 00:34:07.509 and welcome back.
00:34:08.510 --> 00:34:20.269 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We're talking today about being rattled awake. And what does that mean to be rattled awake? Well, it means that something happens
00:34:22.449 --> 00:34:30.400 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that really shocks us. That's like so in our face, we can't help but to deal with it.
00:34:32.650 --> 00:34:39.920 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I'm talking, you know. I talked last segment about my chapter in the new book rattled Awake, volume 6.
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:45.609 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And it's a very personal story for me.
00:34:46.690 --> 00:34:53.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And there are several other authors there. There are 8 other authors. Wonderful, wonderful people.
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:59.969 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I think you you really get something out of each and every story in the book.
00:35:03.930 --> 00:35:04.980 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:10.799 you know, I really feel, and it's so funny that this happens to be
00:35:10.950 --> 00:35:15.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the the
00:35:16.930 --> 00:35:18.140 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that.
00:35:18.300 --> 00:35:28.179 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know. It's just so funny how things happen right. I was supposed to have Llama Mike Crowley on my show today. Talk about Buddhism and psyched Alex.
00:35:28.450 --> 00:35:31.409 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: He got pneumonia. He couldn't come on the show today.
00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:35.100 My blog post to day was all about being triggered.
00:35:37.270 --> 00:35:48.199 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and then the book comes out today. and so by him not being able to be on the show, gives me an opportunity to talk more about the book and more about the topic of being triggered.
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:50.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And
00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:56.080 the reason why this is so important, and it's really interesting.
00:35:56.270 --> 00:35:59.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: When you think about who triggers us the most.
00:36:01.520 --> 00:36:11.559 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and you know I've I've said to people for years. The only person who really, really, really trigger me is my wife because she knows me better than anyone else.
00:36:13.680 --> 00:36:18.400 but typically with anybody person who triggers us the most.
00:36:19.130 --> 00:36:31.940 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But the people closest to us. our partners, our spouses. our families, our parents, our brothers and sisters. our closest friends. They are the ones who trigger us strangers.
00:36:31.950 --> 00:36:36.190 They can trigger us, but usually not as much, rarely as much.
00:36:37.070 --> 00:36:40.989 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Why is it? Why is it that the people who know us the best
00:36:41.610 --> 00:36:48.799 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: are the ones who trigger us the most or the ones we have the closest relationship to trigger us the most.
00:36:53.200 --> 00:36:56.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because we have so many expectations.
00:36:58.260 --> 00:37:01.669 because they're the ones that we want
00:37:03.200 --> 00:37:11.690 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be. A certain way. We want our parents to be a certain way. We want our brothers and sisters to be a certain way. We want our partners to be a certain way.
00:37:13.890 --> 00:37:17.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and the challenge is, they're never the way we want them to be.
00:37:20.610 --> 00:37:22.270 And so that
00:37:22.680 --> 00:37:29.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: disconnect between our desire and the reality in front of us causes friction.
00:37:31.020 --> 00:37:32.750 and that friction
00:37:33.580 --> 00:37:35.429 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: is where the triggers lie.
00:37:38.600 --> 00:37:40.629 And you see those triggers.
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:42.730 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: he said. They're the bread crumbs.
00:37:42.750 --> 00:37:45.959 the triggers, the things that rattle us awake.
00:37:49.230 --> 00:37:52.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Those are the gold nuggets in life
00:37:54.510 --> 00:38:00.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that show us. Yeah, I got a little issue here around this.
00:38:00.150 --> 00:38:06.919 I've got an expectation that doesn't serve me. I'm still carrying on this memory from childhood.
00:38:08.370 --> 00:38:22.830 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: or I never healed. My mother wound or I never healed. My father wound. and this trigger is showing me where there's still work to do around it, but maybe we did heal it to a point. But maybe there's still something more to heal.
00:38:27.170 --> 00:38:33.179 Being triggered is not a bad thing. If there's one thing you take from this episode.
00:38:34.200 --> 00:38:39.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I want you to take. That being triggered is not a bad thing. really isn't.
00:38:41.590 --> 00:38:43.299 but it's a call
00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:47.520 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: for us to take a deeper look into ourselves
00:38:50.070 --> 00:38:52.579 when something some one else does.
00:38:53.590 --> 00:38:57.130 shakes us, rattles us. triggers us.
00:38:58.290 --> 00:38:59.920 It's not about them.
00:39:00.410 --> 00:39:02.110 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's never about them.
00:39:03.530 --> 00:39:04.790 It's about us.
00:39:07.210 --> 00:39:09.610 you know. I had a funny thing. Happen
00:39:11.580 --> 00:39:18.689 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I I had a meeting. I have a meeting this afternoon, a very long meeting, a planning meeting for the Evolutionary Business Council.
00:39:19.040 --> 00:39:20.699 It wasn't in my calendar.
00:39:21.170 --> 00:39:37.459 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and a few people had had gone into my calendar link and had scheduled meetings with me. and I sent them all an email as soon as I realized it's saying, Hey, look! I'm sorry I have a conflict. I can't do that time on Thursday, can you please? Reschedule
00:39:38.470 --> 00:39:42.190 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and pretty much everybody was like, sure, no problem. I know it happens.
00:39:42.700 --> 00:39:45.260 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's one person. It's one person
00:39:45.410 --> 00:39:50.540 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: who who a friend connected me to was sent me a message back.
00:39:51.420 --> 00:39:52.469 So funny.
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:54.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: they said.
00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:58.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I don't.
00:39:59.570 --> 00:40:00.949 How did they put it?
00:40:01.770 --> 00:40:04.360 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I don't reschedule. I commit.
00:40:06.450 --> 00:40:10.610 I'm reading these words on this my computer screen. And I'm like.
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:12.899 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: That feels kind of harsh.
00:40:14.470 --> 00:40:27.929 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I'm like fine. You don't want to meet, and you don't want to reschedule. We don't have to meet. because you know what I'm a human being. I make mistakes sometimes, and if it's not okay for me to be a human being. then that's not the kind of person I want to be around.
00:40:29.930 --> 00:40:34.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I was thinking. why was there that harshness there.
00:40:36.190 --> 00:40:37.520 and you see the
00:40:38.130 --> 00:40:39.739 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the the
00:40:44.250 --> 00:40:46.759 the Hawaiians, the mystical Hawaiians.
00:40:48.770 --> 00:40:50.030 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They have a belief.
00:40:51.780 --> 00:40:53.489 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They believe that
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:57.230 if there's something
00:40:58.150 --> 00:41:01.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in our world it's because there's something inside of us.
00:41:02.520 --> 00:41:10.350 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: If we're seeing violence in front of us, there's violence inside of us. We're experiencing joy in front of us. There's joy inside of us.
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.500 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's and it's from the Kahuna tradition.
00:41:16.090 --> 00:41:19.249 And so I just remembered it. And I was just thinking to myself.
00:41:21.770 --> 00:41:26.749 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Where have I been harsh? This person is being harsh with me.
00:41:27.610 --> 00:41:29.420 I wonder where have I been harsh
00:41:31.010 --> 00:41:37.779 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: now? Because I've done enough work? I didn't get rattled this time over their harshness.
00:41:37.950 --> 00:41:44.129 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and I didn't take it like, Oh, my God, I can't believe they're like this mean a little bit, tiny bit, not much.
00:41:44.780 --> 00:41:48.340 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But I took it as an opportunity to say, Where have I been harsh?
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:59.000 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I thought about just things happening recently, and I was a little triggered last week with someone over a Money issue.
00:42:00.030 --> 00:42:01.789 and I was a little harsh with that.
00:42:03.890 --> 00:42:05.290 Isn't that funny?
00:42:06.990 --> 00:42:11.399 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I was a little harsh with some one else first, and then somebody was harsh with me.
00:42:16.540 --> 00:42:18.089 so that was a bit of a rat.
00:42:20.120 --> 00:42:21.400 because
00:42:22.620 --> 00:42:26.170 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I could have taken it and just
00:42:27.210 --> 00:42:29.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: allowed it to pull me out of presents
00:42:29.560 --> 00:42:36.269 get into. Why did they do this? Oh, I can't believe they did this, you know. It's very easy to go down that rabbit hole.
00:42:42.250 --> 00:42:46.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but instead, I had the presence of mind because I've been doing my work
00:42:46.870 --> 00:42:49.359 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the last 10 years or more
00:42:51.990 --> 00:42:56.759 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to say, Hmm! If this is in front of me, it's because it's within me.
00:43:00.030 --> 00:43:04.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And I got curious. and I could see a correlation.
00:43:05.090 --> 00:43:14.340 You see, this is why curiosity serves us so so well. because when we lose our curiosity in those moments.
00:43:15.240 --> 00:43:20.710 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: then all we have are these emotions that don't necessarily serve us in the moment.
00:43:22.910 --> 00:43:24.390 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But for myself.
00:43:25.630 --> 00:43:28.579 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I was lucky enough to have done enough work
00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:32.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: that I didn't lose my curiosity.
00:43:34.980 --> 00:43:37.299 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but that I was able to stay present
00:43:39.480 --> 00:43:46.970 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and wonder. What's really going on here. What is life? What is the universe trying to show me
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:53.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so? What could have been a really big rattle for me
00:43:54.570 --> 00:43:56.159 was just a small rat.
00:43:58.060 --> 00:44:03.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it was interesting that it happened within days of having to do this show.
00:44:03.580 --> 00:44:08.040 and at that time I didn't even know that my guest wasn't going to be able to make it to day.
00:44:08.350 --> 00:44:11.339 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So I didn't even know that this would be a great
00:44:13.480 --> 00:44:16.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: material for me to relate to people.
00:44:17.490 --> 00:44:23.580 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So before we go to break. I have a question for you. What has rattled you lately?
00:44:24.590 --> 00:44:29.529 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: What has somebody said or done that you've had a hard time dealing with
00:44:29.640 --> 00:44:31.749 that took you out of presence.
00:44:32.330 --> 00:44:35.589 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and all you could be was just emotional around.
00:44:37.450 --> 00:44:40.729 Paste your comments in the livestream. Let me know.
00:44:40.770 --> 00:44:44.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and let's talk about it. I got one more segment of the show.
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:47.369 It's just me and you today. So hey.
00:44:48.070 --> 00:44:49.749 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: feed me some good stuff.
00:44:51.250 --> 00:44:53.380 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and we'll and we'll go through it together.
00:44:53.780 --> 00:44:54.800 All right.

00:48:33.370 --> 00:48:37.220 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: so listen.
00:48:38.990 --> 00:48:48.270 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: We all have rattles in our life. We all have experiences that rattle us in one way or another.
00:48:49.430 --> 00:48:53.909 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's called being human. It's the human experience. There's nothing wrong with it.
00:48:59.330 --> 00:49:00.970 When we get on this path
00:49:03.180 --> 00:49:06.310 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of personal and spiritual development.
00:49:06.510 --> 00:49:14.059 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of self-reflection. of looking to improve ourselves
00:49:15.020 --> 00:49:19.660 and not making everything that happens about somebody else.
00:49:23.140 --> 00:49:24.330 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: then
00:49:25.720 --> 00:49:29.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we can truly begin to face
00:49:29.730 --> 00:49:32.160 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: our rattles, our triggers.
00:49:33.380 --> 00:49:37.759 those things that take us out of presence
00:49:39.890 --> 00:49:46.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: causes to not feel so good in the moment. Give us challenges that we're unaware of.
00:49:55.380 --> 00:50:00.800 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then we can begin to face these things. Maybe in a way we weren't able to face them before.
00:50:03.110 --> 00:50:08.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I mean, look, the the things that trigger me to day are not the same things that triggered me 10 years ago.
00:50:08.500 --> 00:50:15.659 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: How I face the things that trigger me is not the same the way I faced them 10 years ago.
00:50:18.500 --> 00:50:30.010 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And indeed, if if you look around the world today there's more to trigger us than ever before. So much division. so much separation.
00:50:32.380 --> 00:50:35.619 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Hou! I see loyal listeners, seniors, shares
00:50:36.560 --> 00:50:56.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: my family member who has brought me Angst. My entire life is now actively dying, and there is an expectation for me to be bedside, and I finally, after years of soul, searching and healing my trauma, feel triggered at the possibility of having to immerse myself back into a situation that doesn't serve me.
00:50:56.780 --> 00:51:01.350 and I fear it will send me unraveling, undoing my hard self work.
00:51:02.500 --> 00:51:06.210 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Beautiful Sinai, I totally feel you on this one.
00:51:08.030 --> 00:51:09.430 So here's the thing.
00:51:11.410 --> 00:51:18.840 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: It's to remember that we always have a choice. There might be expectations on us. but it still is a choice.
00:51:20.100 --> 00:51:21.070 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And
00:51:21.340 --> 00:51:25.329 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the one thing I can guarantee you is
00:51:26.530 --> 00:51:30.589 cause you're aware of it because you're conscious of it
00:51:31.740 --> 00:51:40.250 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because you've done so much work around. Whatever that issue is. it's not gonna unravel and do yourself work.
00:51:42.430 --> 00:51:46.639 It might feel in the moment like you're not responding so
00:51:47.170 --> 00:51:50.760 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: in a centered and and calm way.
00:51:53.730 --> 00:52:02.719 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but because you're even aware, because you're even asking the question like, Oh, this person really triggered me, and I
00:52:03.310 --> 00:52:15.509 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I think if I go go back to them, you know, and and while they're dying and and and help them transition, I may, I may lose all the work that I did just because you're asking the question
00:52:15.560 --> 00:52:20.889 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: means you're conscious enough and aware enough not to lose the lessons
00:52:22.180 --> 00:52:24.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and and the main thing, I would say.
00:52:26.590 --> 00:52:33.660 and it's all a choice to always stay in your agency. Stay in your personal power. make it a choice.
00:52:34.850 --> 00:52:36.570 but if you choose
00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:40.080 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to be there with that person as their transitioning
00:52:42.040 --> 00:52:51.130 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: to remember that whatever they did, whatever they said, whatever they say. it's not about you. It's about them.
00:52:53.980 --> 00:53:01.560 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Whatever pain they caused you came from, the pain they feel themselves.
00:53:07.310 --> 00:53:16.389 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I truly believe. and you know there are some exceptions to this, like. There are some natural born psychopaths.
00:53:16.530 --> 00:53:18.200 most people
00:53:18.390 --> 00:53:19.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: who hurt people.
00:53:21.220 --> 00:53:26.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: They're usually not psychopaths. They're usually just hurt people themselves.
00:53:30.150 --> 00:53:35.440 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: And if this person is transitioning, if they are dying. this is an opportunity.
00:53:36.160 --> 00:53:41.890 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: This could be your last opportunity to say whatever you need to say to that person.
00:53:44.120 --> 00:53:48.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: But whatever you're going to say to them. you say.
00:53:48.750 --> 00:53:52.810 from a peaceful centred place, not from anger.
00:53:52.900 --> 00:54:04.109 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: not from a place of revenge. not from a place of wanting to get back at them. not from a place of well, you rattled me. So I got to rattle you back.
00:54:06.520 --> 00:54:09.040 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: because when we show up that way.
00:54:10.660 --> 00:54:15.069 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: person transitions, we're the ones who are going to suffer after the fact.
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:24.200 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now, look, do you have to put yourself in a position where you're being triggered? Absolutely. Not.
00:54:26.150 --> 00:54:35.419 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Now, since this is a family member, other family members are going to be giving you pressure like, Hey, you should really be there. And if you're not there.
00:54:35.560 --> 00:54:38.290 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: you know they're going to give you some grief about it.
00:54:41.380 --> 00:54:45.519 The key is not to be triggered by the grief they give you for not being there.
00:54:47.110 --> 00:54:49.060 you see, here's the thing. There's no
00:54:49.720 --> 00:54:53.089 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: correct choice in this way. There's a choice.
00:54:53.100 --> 00:54:54.839 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: but it's all your choice.
00:54:55.980 --> 00:55:05.189 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and it's not about doing the quote unquote right thing, or the quote unquote wrong thing. There is no right or wrong in this situation.
00:55:06.500 --> 00:55:17.639 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: There's only what you want to do. There's only the decision that you make from your own personal agency, from your own personal power.
00:55:18.040 --> 00:55:19.589 It is your choice.
00:55:21.090 --> 00:55:28.709 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: The key is whichever choice you make one way or the other. There were always going to be consequences.
00:55:29.250 --> 00:55:34.519 and to if we're aware of those consequences, if we're aware
00:55:34.930 --> 00:55:40.550 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: of what kind of leads from doing that decision.
00:55:41.920 --> 00:55:44.490 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: Then, when those consequences show up.
00:55:45.670 --> 00:55:49.119 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: we can be a little more present, a little more centered.
00:55:49.420 --> 00:55:53.660 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: a little more still inside.
00:55:55.220 --> 00:55:58.750 so that we don't have to get rattled a second or third time from it.
00:56:02.490 --> 00:56:05.279 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: So, Sinaya, I hope this helps you.
00:56:06.950 --> 00:56:09.470 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: I can understand, and I can feel
00:56:11.400 --> 00:56:19.230 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: the being triggered because, their expectations being put on you by other people that's about them. It's not about you
00:56:20.730 --> 00:56:26.959 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: whether you give in to those expectations or not. That's about you. That's not about them.
00:56:27.870 --> 00:56:29.110 It's your choice.
00:56:30.240 --> 00:56:33.979 Sam Liebowitz | The Conscious Consultant: and all I can say is, whatever choice you make.
