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.

Announcing Affordable Spiritual Counseling Group!



Hello Everyone,


I’ve wanted to offer an alternative and affordable form of spiritual counseling during this time. Even before the shelter-in-place, it was brewing: a spiritual support group online. And, so I’m going to start this as soon as possible! The Zoom technology works perfectly, and I trust you will feel at ease as well. I know many of you out there have a need for psychospiritual support yet want to find an affordable option or supplement your individual sessions.


The first group will last four weeks. These sessions will be 4-6 participants. I will offer one or two sections depending on the interest. 


The sessions will be 75-minutes each, weekly.


Each group asks for a four-week commitment. After four weeks, the timing will be reevaluated together. We may very well (I hope!) continue the group.


Description
In this four-week group, you will receive the holding and spiritual direction you most need at this time in a supportive, loving environment. We will adhere to group confidentiality. As a facilitator, teacher and spiritual therapist, I will create a safe container for you and others. I will guide you – sometimes gently, sometimes with fierce grace – to self-heal and examine your intuitive and knowing, your fears and state of consciousness.


Each session will begin with a few minutes’ presentation on a prominent theme that I sense the group is facing, i.e. principles and tools for self-healing and awakening. This will be followed by consulting and dialoguing, one-on-one, with me in the group setting.


You will learn and grow through your own one-on-one work with me, by witnessing other’s processes, and through your own wholehearted presence. The understanding and support will be amplified by the group alchemy.


Prerequisites:
  • Having had some background in your own personal spiritual development and or therapy or counseling.
  • A brief check-in with Erin by email to confirm your interest and enrollment.
  • Agreement to group confidentiality and guidelines
  • A willingness to listen and witness others’ processes of psychospiritual unfoldment, to examine your own self and practice self-reflection on a regular basis; a commitment to develop an inner life and connection to self.
This is not a substitute for individual counseling sessions or satsang with Erin. It is for those who would like to:
  • Have access to affordable counseling
  • Benefit from a group shared experience
  • Supplement individual counseling

Cost:

Series of Four Group Sessions: Sliding Scale $150 to $250

PayPal, Card, or Venmo
