How do we learn to use our anger, if we've never been allowed to be angry in the first place? A few thoughts & two somatic practices to explore in this week's blog.
So true Laura, how we are taught not to express anger when it is a healthy human emotion that needs to be expressed. I always appreciate your practices. Thank you! 💖
Yes, I was thinking about that the other day. I have really loved your co-hosting and insights. I will miss seeing you too, but hope I'll see you in future webinars! 😊
In Chinese Medical QiGong we balance our anger with kindness. In traditional practices, anger and kindness reside in the liver. So, to balance our anger with kindness we smile to our liver while inhaling the green color of kindness until the liver is full. Then, we exhale the dark gray cloudy smoke of anger and clear the liver. We do this at least three or four times, more if necessary. The goal is not to be 100% kind, it is to balance our anger with kindness. Too much kindness is too much. Too much anger is too much. A nice even blend helps to assure my choices are coming from a conscious, balanced place.
Great resources! Thank you.
Thanks so much, Lenie! Appreciate your being here. 🌺
