068: Are You Angry?
Our anger, resentment, frustration & rage are stored in our bodies, and if we don’t move this energy through it can suck our life force and keep us from connection.
So, why aren’t we talking more about this in the healing space? This week I’m diving deeper into anger with a transmission on anger awareness & transformation.
In today’s episode, I want to talk about what’s possible when we transform/alchemize/transmute our anger or resentment into fuel & connection. I’m diving into the different levels of anger awareness, some helpful ways to help you identify if you are internalizing anger or holding onto resentment in your own life, and how you can take a first step into transforming that energy into something more helpful like turn-on, creativity, and more.
I dive into:
- Anger alchemy & what’s possible with a commitment to this healing
- The unique gifts of healing in community
- Exploring the different levels of anger awareness
- Helpful ways to identify if you are internalizing your anger
- The most common feeling or energy I see underneath resentment with my clients
- Physical symptoms that you could be experiencing if you haven’t alchemized your anger
- And more
