Wake Up and Use Your Anger!

Hello friends! How's your anger?

Remember, there is an incredible amount of energy on the planet right now. It can show up as a rock in the belly until it starts to move. Once it starts to move, you might feel afraid of the unfamiliarity as it can show up as anger. It is important not to hold it back. This is energy you can’t try to meditate away, or go into a cave, or numb out with Netflix. It is here for a reason. It is here to help you make the necessary changes in your life.

First, feel it, get in touch with the energy sans story. It’s pure energy. You might first identify it as anxiety. It can be a vibration. You may also feel it in the jaw, and maybe the neck or shoulders. It can show up as disrupted sleep, or even exhaustion.

Yes, ultimately it is all energy; yet it wants to be acknowledged! It needs to be felt – consciously.

Once you’re in touch with the physical energy, start writing. Start talking to a safe other if you’re not much of a journaler. It’s time for you to start unpacking who or what you are angry about; use free association, brainstorming until you hit the core. Ultimately, this is not about blaming another person, place, or situation. It’s about the CLARITY that anger offers, so that you can start to pinpoint exactly what needs to happen next.

It might take you a few hours or even a few days to narrow it down. Anger is often a sign that a big BOUNDARY needs to be put into place. A clear NO wants to come forward. It may also be a clue that you NEED SOMETHING. You will get honest with yourself and others about that certain thing that you need to bring into your life. This is how we make effective, non-shaming REQUESTS. A clear request will be usually be fulfilled; a demand is often met with resistance.

I am bringing this up to remove all shame and guilt around the honest, necessary, and powerful fuel that anger brings. Centered usually in the gut, and the solar plexus, the color is orange, red, yellow. Mars is in Aries right now – and we have been experiencing this build-up of raw fuel for the past month. It’s going to take a few more months to digest and integrate it all, so get used to the process.

We don’t need to fear anger. We are not going to harm self or another once we are conscious of what needs to happen next. Anger is information. While it can be volatile, it does not necessitate ignorant or unnecessary damage. No need to fear the truth.

Remember, FEEL the FUEL. Locate it in the body. Then, work with your words, your voice, your artistic self-expression, your body to get CLEAR on WHAT needs to happen next. Once you identify the direction this rocket ship needs to be pointed, you will come to realize that you are 100% EFFECTIVE and UNSTOPPABLE.

No one can argue with the Truth. It’s what’s clear, and it’s what’s here.
