Shift Movement

I agree, Helen, that  anger can change the world if used as an honest expression. I also believe that the change is most powerful when it begins by facilitating an inner change, and that facilitating inner change/growth is anger’s true gift. Anger can be used as a point of self-inquiry so that we ask questions [...]

Hi Marianna,  Great that you’re interested!  As a moderator, you would help keep discussions going by providing questions or statements for people to respond to and responding to questions or statements that others post on the site.  Let me know if you’d like to do this.  Thanks.

Helene — Your post is such a powerful and marvelous addition.  I love the image of the phoenix, and the fact that so many groups are saying the same thing:  Be with the energy, let it move through you bringing healing awareness to consciousness, and feel the result in your expanded and loving heart.  Thanks [...]

Isabel:  ”DNA work through shadow/low frequency integration and processing” ??  I have a sense of what this might be, but would love to hear/exchange more.  I see that no one else is posting about this, so maybe our conversation would be best held via email.  Mine is [email protected].  I look forward to more sharing!  Namaste

This is so good, Isabel.  You’ve outlined a mind-body connection that’s vital.  I use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), which combines self-statements and tapping on TCM meridian points, and would also be interested in linking the two paradigms.  Hmmm, I think we have more to talk about…
 

I love what you write, Mike.  It’s wise, and gentle.   I’d add for Claudia that anger only arises when we feel a lack of capacity to hold and explore the situation so we can choose our best response.  So when you feel someone’s passive anger, you might remind yourself that the passively angry person is feeling [...]

Hi Louise, The Gift of Anger will give you a full explanation of what anger really is and how to use your anger specifically for personal growth and transformation, which is what anger is actually designed to do.  The book is sold very inexpensively on Amazon.  One immediate suggestion is to write out your thoughts and [...]

Thanks for writing this, Mike.  I agree with you and think that what you said is important.  Honoring all of our emotions is part of honoring ourselves.  The idea that anger is a negative or bad emotion is not only inaccurate, but also leads to people feeling that they’re negative or bad when they have [...]

One way to start healing is to see that anger is a power boost that comes automatically when we feel a lack of capacity to handle the situation in front of us.  As such, anger is a very valuable guide to understanding what makes us feel lacking in capacity.  Usually, it’s not what’s happening in moment, [...]

Hi Louise, I agree that EMDR, or EFT, or hypnosis can be very helpful, and it also sounds like you have more to understand. Have you considered a psychotherapist versed in Gestalt Therapy to help you learn more about the “monster who’s controlling you” so you can re-integrate that power?  Anger invites us to go deeper so [...]

“Using your voice kindly and lovingly, but with the authority of a conscious human” — that’s such an important commitment, Tracy.  And in this group, I think so many of us have this intent.  So, I immediately think of a couple of questions that I hope will be helpful: Knowing that we all have emotional “holes” [...]

Dear Tracy,   I’m glad you took care of yourself, giving yourself the space and time to do some inner healing work.  Welcome back!

Dear Denise,  What a powerfully marvelous post!  To be able to stay with your upset feelings without losing sight of the essential nature of the other person, and to hold both you and other in love, is the basis of the community I believe we’re all working toward.  Your example is inspiring!  Thank you for [...]

Lovely, both of them!
