Transmuting Triggers
Workbook & Journal
Reflections & Creative Exploration
The Transmuting Triggers Practice was developed by Melanie Ryan, LCSW and teaches how to work with your triggers as sparks of awakening, healing and transformation. The intense emotions and reactions we have toward others and the world around us, are energetic activations of the unconscious coming into consciousness. Instead of perceiving triggers as something negative to avoid, we open up to the opportunities of self-realization, integration and wholeness. Our triggers are messengers of the soul and we can learn how to be good listeners. We can transmute our triggers and discover the GOLD hidden within them.
This workbook provides:
* An introduction to the Transmuting Triggers Practice.
* Lists the four types of shadow projection that are the root cause of triggers.
* A journal for your insights and reflections.
* A place for you to do trigger work and write down triggers and track your integration progress.
* A space for creative exploration, drawing, doodling, coloring, and poetry.

BOOK REVIEWS
Never has there been a more relevant or necessary time to explore our shadow side. Carl Jung said, ‘90 percent of the shadow is pure gold’ and, through The Golden Shadow Method, Melanie Ryan shows us not only how to find that gold but also how to reclaim the power that it contains.

Gold and precious metals are mined from ores – heavy rocks carrying yet hiding the treasures. In similar manner, as Melanie Ryan teaches in this book, our inner gold – our talents, gifts, creativity and many positive and beautiful traits – are also hidden and buried in the dark ores of our psyches. The Golden Shadow Method is a well- written, loving, accessible, caring, sensitive and wise guide to owning, exploring and integrating our shadow dimensions, positive and negative. Melanie guides us in using the ancient and time-honored practices of Buddhism, shamanism and Jungian psychology to excavate that which is best and most fulfilling in us and shares her journey of discovery – to spirit, self and inner gold.

The idea of a golden essence, hidden in plain sight, but often unseen or unacknowledged, is common to many authentic spiritual traditions. In the Buddhist tradition, this golden essence is referred to as Buddha nature — a fundamentally uncorrupted core of sanity, decency and brilliance which all human beings can uncover and manifest. Even though Buddha nature is considered a natural and organic part of our being, sometimes we find it lurking in the shadows. Melanie Ryan has crafted her own unique hybrid of several powerful traditions, a revelation of methods that enable us to uncover our Buddha nature — our hidden gold.

The Shadow is nature. Duality is found everywhere in the Universe, as we see the expansion and contraction among galaxies, just like yin and yang. The shadow represents that empty space and dark matter where all light power exists, it is an energetic force of dark and light. Using ancient wisdom, modern psychology and inner intuition, Melanie Ryan shines the light on the golden shadow — our inherent gifts, power, passions and potential just waiting to be activated.

An old Hermetic axiom asserts that the seed of alchemical gold is found within the dragon’s poison. To transmute the Shadow from darkness into gold is an alchemical journey indeed. When the Shadow is fully accepted as a part of the self, it can become one of our greatest and most inspiring inner teachers. Melanie Ryan draws upon the insights of Jungian psychology, Tibetan Buddhism, and shamanism to weave a rich tapestry of exercises and techniques that allow us to make the inner journey to the Shadow safe, deeply felt, and profoundly life affirming.
