Anger is described as a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure or hostility. Shew! Really negative!

Anger is not a feeling that anyone enjoys. Interestingly, your body rejects negative energy in so many ways. This is why when you get angry, you feel annoyed, you feel displeasure and you feel hostile. Just think of the thoughts that are conjured in your own mind when you just think about being angry!

Think about your body language when you’re angry. Yes, at the time, generally you will make yourself look bigger when confronting the person that you’re angry with. It’s a human trait going back to our early days when we first set foot on the earth. We make ourselves look big in order to scare our attacker away. To perhaps get the psychological upper-hand through appearing to be stronger than our attacker. However, it’s also interesting to note that when you make yourself bigger, you expose all your vulnerable organs in your body. And that’s not a great place to be in when facing an attacker!

As soon as the encounter is over, your shoulders drop and you pull your shoulders in towards your chest. Your head droops and your back arches in a way as to protect your vital organs. It’s in that moment that you become smaller, through the act of becoming angry.

But, it’s not only from a physical perspective that you become smaller. When you lose control and allow your emotions to overtake, that also makes you smaller. It makes you less than who you inherently are. Anger can make you someone you don’t even recognise and you inevitably end up not liking that person. The shame and guilt that is then linked to that anger, or moment of anger, makes you feel small. Makes you feel not worthy. You begin to see yourself as an awful person and then the conversations that take place with yourself, inside your own head, are just awful.

Forgiveness is described as the act of no longer feeling angry about or wishing to punish. It is the cancelling out of what is perceived to be a ‘debt’. I say perceived, because generally it is. However, there could be instances where it could be genuine.

To forgive is to allow yourself the opportunity to let go. To give up holding onto a negative emotion that causes you pain and keeps you stagnating, because not forgiving does not allow you to move forward. And even if you do find a way to move forward, you will always carry certain aspects of that anger with you and end up with blockages in your life that you’ll be forced to deal with at some point.

Forgiveness is an intentional decision to let go of resentment and anger. It doesn’t mean that you will completely forget what happened or how you felt, but it does mean that you no longer hold onto those feelings. That’s doing yourself a great service!

Forgiveness allows you to grow beyond what you were. It opens you up to becoming someone new in a beautiful positive way. It strengthens your evolution to becoming the person that you deserve to be and who the world deserves to interact with.

Don’t ever allow yourself to remain in a state of anger. Yes, you can wallow there for an hour or two, but then, snap yourself out of it. The longer you remain in a state of unresolved negative emotions, the more those negative energies that gather around you, will begin to seep into your physical body and you will become ill. Speak to anyone who does energy healing of any kind, and they will tell you that it is unresolved emotions that cause us to get sick. Even to the point of contracting viruses as mediocre as the flu.

So take care to regulate your emotions. Your desire should always be to remain as far as is humanly possible, in a state of balanced well-being. You want the energies that flow around you and within you to be positive, beautiful and powerfully effective to you in a way that enhances your life, uplifts your mood and keeps you healthy.
