Because there is such outward motion with the energy of anger it is easy for it to just keep going in an unclean way with projection. Often one feels unsafe in expressing the anger vibration so they do it back door. Finding fault with another for something similar that you have done is a way of projecting that anger on another. Even just feeling anger and then kicking the dog is a way of taking that venomous energy out on anther who is clearly undeserving, It happens all the time…and it is simply not OK. It really doesn't clear anger energy much and typically creates more hard feelings than it releases. Find an alternative and be clean with your choices and action.
Learning about the emotion of anger, what it feels like, where it is located in the physical, how it naturally moves, how it can be ridden to release, how to release it safely, and how to live so that it just does not storehouse…this is what is needed. So, to that end:
Anger storms on the scene at the solar plexus first. The knot in the stomach is the initial wave, perhaps from the squeezing of the adrenals behind. There is heat in the body and a surge of energy that can be felt moving into the extremities, especially the arms. There might even be a fist formed unknowingly. The brain becomes heightened to awareness that is protective. It interprets events as danger first. The body is tight and primed for action. The voice gets loud if it speaks at all.
Anger locates at the plexus and in the extremities first. Then it proceeds to flood the whole body as the adrenaline infiltrates the cells and tissues.
It moves like the wave from a damn breaking. It is fast and powerful and always moves outward. This is why attempting to harness and corral that energy by swallowing it can be so impactful on the viscera. The energy of anger forces its way and destroys with no selectivity.
The first step is to recognize the trigger and the solar plexus bell. When this is noticed and discerned to be anger then one has the point of choice of redirecting. Choosing to breath and regain center in the midst of the flood is a powerful, conscious response. Then one must redirect the flood wave to a safe release. Action of some sort must be taken. And, of course, the form of the action is likely determined by the current circumstance and situation/environment.
The release of the intense anger energy must be active. Breathing deeply and slowly will help to diminish the intensity of the onslaught to allow one to regain a place of near center. Simultaneous conscious redirection of the energy via visualization out of the body, typically into the Earth, can be initiated as well. Pairing this inner process with some movement that is non threatening is highly useful as likely the energy has already reached the arms and legs and is moving towards action. Shaking the hands and arms or moving the feet/even stomping them can be very effective. If one can excuse oneself to do something more physical, all the better…walk, run, flail, dance, shake. Alternatively and additionally, one can make vocal sounds, preferably not words as this can actually exacerbate the other party. You may need to make the sounds away from the other party for safety. Sometimes even a simple acknowledgement of “I am feeling anger” can redirect the wave in a productive movement of resolution.
There is always the aftermath, the other side of anger, as one feels the results of the release in a deep sigh, a wave of calmness sweeping over and through the whole being, the hyper alertness and awareness that sparkles, the feelings of being physically spent, the sense of resolution and openness, the spontaneous laughter and lightness that can follow. So much energy has been released in such a productive way that one has actually moved into a higher vibratory frequency.
The moments of living are varied and spontaneous, or so it seems. Opportunities arise to get clear. The reservoir of anger that typically lie in the solar plexus with spillage into the sacral and root chakras is a palatable and potentially lethal substance. To consciously choose to take opportunities to clear when not really in anger can be critical to give you back your moments when actual anger arises. One way is to make the definitive list of all the situations and people you have felt or experienced or still feel anger towards. With each you call their image forth and feel what you feel. Speaking the words that wanted to said at the time of the event is highly cleansing. You say what you must say in the way that it wants to be said until you ride the wave to conclusion. Terminate each player with a statement of gratitude and an “I set you free, and so it is” statement followed by a cutting of any energetic cords attached to the plexus and below with a “Suh htep nah” to complete the round.
Doing this work will give you back your full power in all of your moments of living.
Please remember that anger can also be a useful tool in self protection and preservation when appropriate. It allows one to set and maintain a safe, protective space and can be useful to some degree when one finds oneself in a threatening environment. In these cases it is necessary to not project any anger or confrontive energy outward but simply use it to shore up one’s field.
In the context of Inner Child Mentoring Applied there is likely a reservoir of unexpressed anger here. It is useful to take care of that when you are feeling powerful or have some time on your hands when you can be alone to express freely and verbally outward.
The child self can become immobilized in expressing anger because of the energetic memory of rage around them as well as messages learned about consequences if they let that energy out. To the child self this perspective and choice seems accurate and real. However, it is just the residue of energies put into place when anger was stored. The child feels this every time they stand at the threshold of release. It is incumbent upon the adult self to re-educate the child on the nature of these feelings and underscore and encourage the getting more information to realize what is really going on. Supporting the child in acting out some of these fears in a safe way can be useful, powerful and transmuting. Paying attention to body sensations first to identify them before slowly stepping into the heart of the anger can be useful and help to wean the child from the fear and protective tendencies.
Anger Affirmation
On all levels, in all dimensions, and in all my energy bodies, I now release the energetic residue of anger, power, and control, used by others on me, used by me upon others, or used by me upon myself. I now stand clearly and cleanly in my own power, confident, safe, and willing to make decisions and take action for the Highest Good of all involved.
Mantra
Shanti Prashanti Sarva Bhaya Upashamanti Swaha
to clear the vibration of anger
Remember that anger, because it is a solar plexus issue is embedded with issues of power, decision, will, and action. It is obvious how power can be used here to overlord or to personally protect. The capacity to decide to take action can be compromised in the midst of the initial adrenaline surge. The tendency is to ride the wave and take unclear action…not always the best policy. The clearer you are the more able you are to take the breath and ride the wave to graceful conclusion.
Some supportive exercises beyond the daily work in the left column
1. Make a list of the things. Situations, and people you feel anger about. Once the list is complete spend some time with each and articulate the nature and experience of the fear. Determine the facts in each. Annotate your list and keep it handy
2. Set up a scenario with each on your list and set them before you in any way you like to then say the words you have not said. Remind them that they no longer have any power over you. When complete send them on their way cutting the energy cords across the first through fourth chakras with a cutting motion with your hand and the Egyptian Huna empowerment, “Suh htep nah”!
3. Keep a log of your acts of courage and bravery, how you faced off uncomfortable situations and succeeded in standing in your power.
4. Remember to enter significant elements in the log at left in the Big Ones topic so you can spend some extra time clearing them if you choose.
The most conscious thing to do when the anger surges is to stay in center and remember that anger is a mask emotion. Look underneath and ascertain the threat and act/respond accordingly. The clearer you get the more capable you are to simultaneously take multiple courses of action, diverting the energy while identifying the fear while owning the issue while maintaining an outward appearance and vibration of calm.
Reaching the point where you can stand in the face of anger and reflect only love is a well earned place. It is certainly possible while still being able to consciously support the complete release of the triggered energetic reaction. Power, indeed.
