    Attachments & Aspects: Understanding What Triggers Us

    Attachments & Aspects: Understanding What Triggers Us What if every time you felt triggered, it was actually an invitation? In this episode, Renske and B explore one of the most transformative concepts in their inner work — aspects and attachments — and how understanding them can shift you from feeling like a victim of your emotions to living from a place of real empowerment. Renske breaks down what aspects actually are, why our emotions are like text messages from our soul, and how the breath is the gateway to the heart space where real healing happens. B shares how visualising that energetic cord — the one we hook onto other people’s behaviour — has been one of the most freeing realisations of her journey. Together they dive into: ✨ What aspects and attachments are — and how to know when one is stepping forward ✨ Why emotions aren’t something to push away, but to welcome and listen to ✨ The spiral of growth — why we revisit similar triggers, just with deeper awareness ✨ How to work with an aspect lovingly rather than forcing it to shift ✨ Why group work creates such a powerful container for this healing ✨ The ego mind as a gift — not the enemy — and what it means to let spirit take the wheel Plus joy sparks — B finds deep gratitude in an early morning woodland walk, and Renske shares two beautiful moments of watching her family naturally weave meditation and self-care into their everyday life. 💛 If you’ve ever found yourself cycling through the same triggers and wondering why, this episode is for you.
