Ticket Through Time: Rewriting Our Triggers
(Continuation of the Tight Jeans blog)
As empaths, when we stumble into an energy âweb,â we donât just feel itâwe time-travel-ish. Suddenly, weâre back in that old moment where the trauma began, reliving it like itâs fresh. (unsolicited nostalgia tripâ good times)
In the last blog, we talked about awarenessâspotting foreign energy and saying, âNot mine.â Thatâs step one: taking the edge off. How bout we, rework the trigger itself? like a childhood regression session in hypnotherapy.Â
Do like this: When we revisit those memories with new eyes ( #AdultWisdom), we literally change what weâre projecting into our presentâand future.
The How (Science & Magick):
- Neuroscience Backs Us Up: Neuroplasticity means our brains can rewrite old pathways. Think of it like editing an intense drama filled movie scene into a blooper. (change the story: new perspective & feelings)
- Quantum Flavor: Physics says time isnât linear. Indigenous traditions and Buddhist teachings agree: the past isnât fixedâitâs a conversation.
- Karmic Cheat Code: If the lesson was âIâm not enough,â reframe it as âThey were projecting their crap.â Suddenly, the triggerâs grip loosens.
Why This Is Easier for Empaths:
Empaths don’t just remember traumaâwe time-travel right back into it, reliving every raw moment. But but but: that same hyper-awareness that throws us into the past? It’s our built-in rewiring tool. Sensitivity isn’t our weaknessâit’s our direct line to healing.
- We Feel It All Anyway â So, we can redirect those intense replays. See it fresh. Feel it different. The memory stays – your response to the âtriggersâ changes. (step by step below)
- Natural Energy Detectives â Spotting triggers is half the battle (and weâre prosâ or can be lol).
- Built-in Time Machines â Our empathy doesnât just revisit the pastâit can change it by feelling something new.
The How To:
triggeredâŠ
- Pause and observe the memory objectively (like watching a movie scene)
- Ask yourself: ‘What’s another way to view this situation ânowâ?’
- Choose one new feeling to focus on (safety/strength/compassion)
- Let that new feeling fill the memoryâplay it out in your mid, feel, let it be real⊠as you breathe deeply
 What makes us vulnerable (absorbing everything) also makes us powerful alchemists. The past isnât fixedâitâs clay for those who feel deeply enough to reshape it.
Homework:
Next time youâre pulled into the past, a free first-class ticketâ rewrite the script. The child that felt small? Show them theyâre safe now. Itâs not denial; itâs reparenting your timeline. Let go of the emotion that doesnât benefit your emotional goals.
Side Effects May Include:
- Fewer emotional hangovers
- A smirk when old triggers have died down
- Evolution
Retroactive Healing: Who Came Up With Thisâand Whoâs Still Doing It?
The OG Idea:
Now, the fun part: the Quantum perspective. I did a deep dive on the different origins of the similar / same idea.  Some of the earliest structured systems are in:
- Chassidic Jewish Mysticism (1700sâ1800s)
- The Alter Rebbe (big-deal spiritual teacher) taught that divine energy exists outside timeâso if you reconnect to it hard enough, you can literally undo emotional damage like it never happened.â I was so humbled when finding this out. I really thought I was something special when I received this download of âchanging one’s historyâ for a ânewâ life. blushing 😊
- Modern Chassidic Jews still use practices like “Cheshbon Tzedek”âpart prayer, part joy-fueled time warpâto scrub painful memories clean.
- Shamans (Since Forever & a day)
- They would project their consciousness into the past during rituals, grab lost soul pieces, and peace out. Fascinating! I do something similar in Attunement Healingsâusing my empathic gift Iâll step into their memoryâ through talking, to feel whatever emotions are causing blockage.This helps clients to âshiftâ those old feelings into a new perspective. Two heads are better than one⊠or as scripture says, âCarry each otherâs burdens.â”Galatians 6:2Â
- New Age Quantum Hustlers (1980sâNow)
- Fast-forward to folks mixing quantum physics (Kamikaze style 😂) with spirituality to say “your mind can collapse bad timelines!” (Results may vary. Batteries not included.)â definitely not my thoughts.
Whoâs Still Doing This Today?
- Chassidic Jews: Using Torah study + specific prayers to (allegedly) retroactively heal generational curses. Iâm not an expert, this is just my measly understandingâ from researchingâ and breakdown. I hope this is not offensive in any way.
- Energy Workers & Healers: Experts in hypnotherapy and spiritual integration, often weaving in other modalities of subconscious connection. 👋 This is my group.Â
- Neo-Shamans: Blending indigenous soul retrieval with therapy-speak (“Letâs go back to when you were 8âŠâ)👋 Also my group haha I donât have to do the hypnotherapy to get where we want. I also love chaos magick.
- Instagram Gurus: Selling “quantum time jumps”âusually between ad breaks for detox teas. Nutts, havenât tried.
Whether itâs holy men, witches, or your auntâs Reiki healerâeveryone agrees: the past is more editable. â so eat it up haha
