A few days ago, my grandson and I were on a very important mission: the garden needed watering! We were filling up the watering can in the laundry room sink, which has one of those fancy nozzles with a button to switch between a stream and a spray. I had it on stream mode—nice and tidy, no mess, all business.

But then… curiosity struck.

My grandson, who is endlessly inquisitive (and possibly part scientist), asked, “What does this button do?”
I calmly explained, “That switches it to a spray. But we’re leaving it right where it is, OK?”

You can guess what happened next.
He pushed the button.

SPLOOSH.  We were absolutely soaked. The faucet turned into a rogue firehose. Both of us jumped, shrieked, and then burst into laughter.

And that’s when it hit me (besides the water): this is exactly what triggers feel like.

Just like that surprise splash attack, emotional triggers tend to show up when we least expect them. One moment you’re watering plants, the next—you’re reliving a memory, feeling overwhelmed, or reacting way bigger than the situation calls for.

In real life, these moments aren’t always funny. A random comment, a smell, a look—anything can poke a “button” inside us that we didn’t even realize was there. Suddenly, your whole nervous system is in freak-out mode, and you’re left wondering, What just happened??

But here’s the thing: triggers aren’t just random annoyances. They’re little messengers waving red flags and saying, “Hey, there’s something here that wants to be healed!”

That’s where EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and Biofield Tuning come in, like the calm after the storm. EFT helps you tap (literally!) on your body’s meridian points to release stuck emotions and rewire your response. Biofield Tuning uses sound frequencies to locate old energetic imprints and gently unwind them from your system.

So next time life hits you with a surprise spray, instead of staying soaked in stress, you can choose to heal it. You don’t have to stay in the splash zone. Healing can be light, it can be fun—and yes, sometimes it starts with a giggle and a very curious little kid.
