None of us want to be full of anger, and so many times we judge ourselves for it – but anger is an emotion that is as human and as natural as joy and laughter.

We must learn to work with and through all emotions on our journey through life. Those of us who work in fields like healthcare or education, where we are in service to our community, feel as if we can rise above and take the high road when situations arise. We expect our role as a caretaker or teacher to mean that we are doing our best to lead by example.

In our culture, we use social media to present ourselves online, and we see so much anger, we don’t want to join in and be one of the herd that screams into the void of discontent. If we are self aware, we are wanting compassion in the world, and we’re trying to bridge the gaps so that our culture can be less divided. Anger seems like a huge part of the problem here. So we often deprive ourselves of the right to be angry to keep the peace.

ANGER IS NOT THE PROBLEM, SUPPRESSION & OPPRESSION ARE THE PROBLEM

At present, anger could actually be a part of the solution if we ever want to see a unity of the common people in the world to rise up against oppressive forces that would have us living in tiny boxes of preprogrammed virtual realities. Forces of LOVE & LIGHT actually do use anger in a positive way that benefits all living beings.

We do have opposing forces on the planet of those who want to experience their true nature of expanded consciousness and joy found through freedom of mind, body and spirit, and those who want to control and have power over the masses for the benefit and glory of themselves. When dark, oppressive forces move in, it’s up to us to stand up for what is right. When we see someone beat a child, we should become angry.

Not being angry, and being apathetic, can result in ethnic cleansing, racial genocide, meaningless wars and inhumane consequences. As a culture, we have suppressed our anger, because we have seen what happens to those who speak out. The love of power and money has us falling into line, hoping we are one of the people that benefits from the oppressive forces, even if we have to sacrifice our integrity to do so.

Suppressing our anger, avoiding our anger, feeling guilty about our anger and trying to pretend we are above this strong reactionary emotion – has us facing threats of nuclear destruction. In the present moment, we can use anger to harness light, to become a loving and peaceful people. We have to allow ourselves to be angry at the true injustices of our world and its systems. We have to let this human emotion come up and go through us.

Once We Allow Anger to Arise, We Can Release It Without Harm

Once we can face down the anger within, can can then release it in ways that are not harmful to anyone or anything. Exercise is a great way to release anger and frustration. Art or music can be a good release. Getting a massage can provide an emotional release. There are places called “rage rooms” where you pay an entrance fee to go into a room and break things. Crying can be a powerful way to release emotions. There are so many ways to really let anger out that don’t hurt others.

Once we really do give ourselves energetic permission to be angry, without being a victim, but with taking our power into our own hands again, then we can begin to use our power to open our heart centers to living a life of peace and joy. Imagine a life of joyful moments, without much to drag you down.

Look into the life you have created for yourself and give yourself energetic permission to enjoy memories of accomplishment and love.

You can allow yourself the freedom to live and express yourself how you want to, so you create more sweet moments with your time on Earth.

Sometimes we have blocked our own joy to make others around us comfortable. Many of us have modified our behavior to please those we love most. We have repressed and suppressed not only anger, but our passions, our creativity, our successes and our wildest dreams to make others comfortable.

We Don’t Have to Feel Guilty About Our Emotions

Every person alive is capable of feeling love, fear, joy, sadness, hope or anger. We should not judge ourselves for anything that we feel. We should be able to express ourselves in ways that may strengthen us, or release what is suppressed, without harming anyone around us. It’s possible to be angry when something triggering arises and then to move through it to allow for joy and ease of expression to move in again. We can gently accept our human range of emotions.

One of the more important wellness tools of our time is self-care. We must nurture ourselves where others could not. We are moving into a time of being more aware of our connectedness with the collective. As this happens we will need to be our own wise guide, our own nurturing parent, our own loving caretaker so that we can gain strength to navigate through a chaotic world. Self-care and self-awareness are our best allies in our quest to experience our best life.

We don’t have to feel guilty about being human. We can understand that anger is a part of it. The uncomfortable emotions are a part of it and we will feel them as well as the amazing and exhilarating emotions we tend to be most drawn to. We don’t have to feel guilty about any of our emotions, good or bad, as long as we are not harming anyone.

If we want our most fulfilled life, we can experience everything, staying strong and calm.
