Copyright 2005 Adela M RubioRemember the last time you were angry. How would your life
be different if you could access that energy to inform your
actions? Many of us were trained to believe that anger is a
negative emotion. It was something to be denied,
suppressed, or ignored. We were taught to hide it from
others and also from ourselves. It wasn?t nice, it wasn?t
good. Maybe you used the power of anger to justify your
expression in the world, regardless of how it affected
others. Either extreme has its consequences. Neither one
embraces anger powerfully and authentically.
What if it anger held the seed of tremendous power? What if
we approached emotions in general as e-motion ? energy in
motion? What if our bodies, in their immense intelligence,
were trying to stir us into awareness and that ?awareness?
was information about your passion?
Most of us deal with anger as an effect, instead of
examining the cause or the meaningful message that it
carries. We?re taught to suppress, ignore, hide, or channel
it. Sometimes we come up with elaborate coping mechanisms.
We?ve been taught about anger from the perspective of
surface information; like the iceberg, you don?t have the
complete picture. How do we find out what?s really going
on? How do we get the FULL picture of it?
One of the quickest ways to gain access to this knowing is
through your body, it has access to information that you
might not be consciously aware of yet. The KNOWING that I
speak of is not the intellect. It is an expanded awareness.
In this space there?s no grasping, no needing, no have to,
got to. Everything just IS . . . it?s the dance of energy.
How do you access this awareness? The first step is to
suspend disbelief and entertain the following thoughts:
You?re not just tiny specks of matter, being tossed in the
sea of your emotions. You?re actually vast energies of
consciousness and creation.
Awareness happens in a simple breath and with it comes all
that you want to know, do or be. The simple exercise of
breathing, relaxing and expanding your energy field will
connect you to this space.
Let?s further suppose that anger, as well as any other
emotion, is ? energy in motion. It?s our body?s innate
intelligence telling us that something new is stirring.
>From this perspective, what if anger is the tip of passion.
I mean think about it: Why would you be angry if you
didn?t care deeply about something or someone?
The major problem that we encounter here is our thoughts
and beliefs. These are the energetic boxes that trap us.
The good news is that we now exist in a fascinating
reality, no one is fully right or wrong. We live in a time
where beliefs hold a lot less power over our lives. There
is an inborn fluidity to belief systems now; you have the
ability to easily adapt and morph into new ways of being.
You can choose the perspective that provides an empowering
interpretation. You can open up to new ways of perceiving
and position yourself to embrace your powerful potential.
Take a moment to think about what angers you most, what
gets you really fired up and fuming? Are there any themes,
connections or thru-lines? Ask yourself, what is really
happening here?
If you?re angry, you can breathe, relax and expand to go
beyond your current vantage point of seeing what it?s
really all about. You can tune into the greater picture.
Most people shrink their energy fields when they get angry.
You can choose the path of power and choose to expand and
become something more.
What physical or energetic urgings are creating the
situation in the first place? What is the bigger picture
that it is pointing to? What are you deeply passionate
about? Would you say that you are ?living your passion??
Why not, what gets in the way?
Passion is the fuel for your vision. It?s the rocket fuel
for your dreams. It?s what makes things come alive and
creates movement. Anger is the film that covers your
passion. It?s the shadow of it. If your passion is not
there it?s because you?ve been constricting your energy
field or you may be going through a shift of passion and
vision, moving to something completely brand new. Be
willing to allow your passion to dance, evolve and grow;
allow what WANTS to happen..
The paradigm shift that I urge you to play with is that you
are not a small human being with problems to solve but a
vast being with incredible contributions to make. You are
living consciousness The more you expand, the more present
you become. The emotion of anger holds the key to
connecting to your passion. Expand, connect and embrace
your magnificence. Life yearns to be expressed through you!
