When Anger = Anchor & Healing Through Love

Dear Friends,

How many of us live with continual anger in hearts? Do you use anger rather than love, as your anchor in some or all relationships?

Anger causes hormonal responses in the body that contribute to high blood pressure, blood vessel constriction, organ toxicity, muscle tension, heart strain, premature aging, sleep disturbances, intestinal imbalance, adrenal fatigue, weak nails/hair/skin, slow healing responses, and cell mutation. Anger also, causes the mind to race, forcing the body into 'fight or flight' response for excessively, long periods of time which encourages not only, physical but emotional depletion, depression, anxiety, attention deficit, dejection, and alienation from people and activities we love. In addition, perpetual anger causes a repression of the spirit and chi-or essential energies, including stagnation of energy, excess heat & energy pockets, hyperfixation and/or disconnection from self.

There is quite a large body of both anecdotal as well as statistical evidence that living in continual anger forces the body to stay in high gear rather than allowing the body to shift into neutral, which our whole being needs to recieve homeostatic balance, respite, and healing.

So, how do we identify and reduce anger in our lives?

Answering these quick questions may help-
Are you quick to lose your temper? How often do you yell at other drivers on the road? Do you use food, alcohol, or other substances/behaviors as secret vices for comfort to hide your emotions rather than sharing? Do you find yourself becoming angrier at home or work than you wish to be? Is it difficult for you to apologize to others? If so...you probably, need to work on some anger reduction strategies!

Remedies for anger include: physical exercise, well-balanced eating, consistent sleep habits, emotional processing, therapeutic groupwork, counseling, good communication, healthy sensual life, meditation, prayer, spirituality, self-inflection, nature, music, art, relaxing time with children & family...and so, many more. Which are your favorites?

Remember...relieving anger in healthy ways takes practice! However, sustainable changes in habits ultimately, lead to better health & longevity and a more fulfilling life. So, give it a try-pull up that anchor of anger and set sail with love!

Peace, Love & Healing,
~Jennifer
