Depending on how we were raised, anger can be one of those emotions that is very buried. We can be taught that it is wrong to have anger. Yet anger (if not used to hurt someone) can be a key to reclaiming our power. When we block our anger, we block all of its strength as well.
When I was younger, I used to like to get psychic readings. Often the psychic would say that I had a lot of anger. I really didn't get it because I felt calm and happy inside. I was so out of touch with my own anger. It wasn't until years later that I discovered my anger when doing shadow work.
I had this dream that I found a mouse in my dresser. It was in a little box dressed up in a little suit. I remember that it seemed very sterile and I worried about setting it free. It seemed very weak and unnatural. This is the way I had dressed up my own anger and in fact disempowered myself like a weak mouse. I guess there had always been a part of me that was afraid of my own power, that I might use it to hurt someone else.
I have done a lot of self-work since then and am no longer afraid of my power. Getting in touch with your anger is a big step on your journey of self discovery and self empowerment. Good luck~ |
