The Fire Down Below - Dealing With Our Anger

"Anger is that powerful internal force that blows out the light of reason." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Anger is a powerful energy. Being afraid of this energy, we often attempt to deny or hide it. When we cannot contain the energy of anger, we act it out on other people or things. We live in an angry time - folks angry with their neighbors, politicians, educators, health care providers, bankers, sports heroes, bosses, colleagues, co-workers, drivers, passengers, those who are "different" from ourselves - just angry with one another. What many of us rarely get is that our biggest aid in dealing with our anger is really anger management training.

Inner anger
Like other emotions, anger is normal. However, when we suppress our anger and allow it to build up, it saps our strength, causes undue stress and dis-ease, destroys relationships and, most of all, prevents us from experiencing happiness. Anger is an energy. It's not a thought, an idea, or a belief. It's not mental; it's not intellectual. It's an energy we experience, physiologically, in the cells of our body. When you experience anger, notice what happens in your body. Anger affects your body - e.g., blood flow, tendons, muscles, ligaments, nerves, temperature, etc. Inner anger is energy that is "misdirected" - energy that builds up and is discharged in ways that are self-destructive, self-sabotaging, hurtful and harmful to ourselves and others, which is why anger management training can be so valuable.

Why we feel angry
Inner anger is a sign that we are upset at something or someone outside ourselves and that we are upset at ourselves.

There are five fundamental reasons for feeling angry - feeling: (1) disempowered, (2) deprived, (3) overwhelmed, (4) inadequate and (5) we don't understand the deeper dynamic of emotional maturation. In addition to these five "common" causes there is one more, not so common. Probably the greatest, and most misunderstood, stimulus for one's anger is lack of awareness about why one is on the planet. Most folks want to live on the "happy" end of the "happiness-unhappiness" continuum spoiled, and feeling entitled to have whatever they want. They feel angry because life is tough and challenging "down here." They get mad at the Universe, Spirit, Source or God (generic) because they have to experience the "human" aspects of being a human being. A major antidote to anger is anger management training.

The following tips can help you engage your fire energy in a positive way:
As one experiences the (re)generation of the fire energy over time (days, weeks, months), we slowly become "energized" with our life force and learn to experience anger management training. Over time, we begin to feel the energy of empowerment and find we need less and less external stimulation to feel happy and satisfied. Letting go of external needs and attachments to experience happiness becomes easier.

Fire energy generates the strength, courage and confidence we need to feel empowered, free, open to exploring the "unknowns" of life and facing life's challenges and pressures with anger management training.

In the face of anger, rather than "act out", reactively blame, feel the victim and become abusive, we can breathe deeply and sense the heat in our body. Sensing the heat, we make the connection between the heat and our soul nature, our primal and anger management training to welcome the energy as a healing force - a natural energy of happiness that is our birthright.

The more we contain our fire energy, the better we can feel centered and disconnect from the pull of others and the less we become "angry." Centering leads to self-validation which leads to a greater sense of self-worth and from this place we create greater anger management training and trust in ourselves!

Finally, happiness depends on a conscious understanding of why we're on the planet. It's not about life being unfair. It's not about bad luck and bad karma.

Happiness and satisfaction arise when we douse the heat of anger by consciously relying on our anger management training so we can move through life cool, calm and collected.
