Question on healing:
I am dealing with negative and angry feelings. I try
to find inner peace and quiet but I still feel this way.
Do you have any suggestions for overcoming these feelings?
Healing Facilitation response:
When we get mad, negative, etc…, it is a part of us
asking for loving attention.
When we just try to “not feel that way”, we are resisting
ourselves and turning a deaf ear to our own inner cries for
help. Rather than trying to stop feeling negative, angry,
etc…, it is better to notice that you are feeling that way,
turn your loving attention to your inner self, and ask what
is needed to bring you back into loving balance.
Anger is a warning that we are not honoring our own needs
in some way. Usually, it is disquised as someone else not
honoring our needs but the truth always is that we allow
people in our lives for a reason.
If there is someone not honoring you as a person, perhaps
not hearing you or not respecting your need for privacy,
love, intimacy, attention, etc., then they are there to
teach you to better express what you need.
There have been a few times in my own life when things
seemed so unfair that I felt being a victim was my only
option. Looking back on those events now, I see how
they helped me discover my own truth and my own
strength.
Self-reproach, guilt, hate or shame is another hidden
reason we can feel angry all the time. Some part of you
may feel unworthy or as if you have failed, or as if you
are selfish, etc. By opening to your own beliefs
about yourself, either through the spiritual disciplines
such as meditation and prayer or through the help of
an energetic healing facilitator who can assist in
bringing belief systems forward in consciousness,
you can begin to learn how to accept yourself,
love yourself, forgive yourself and heal.
I encourage you to embrace yourself fully.
Accept your own humanity.
Physical reasons for anger can include
hormonal imbalances (particularly during
menopausal years) as well as more serious
conditions such as brain tumors so a complete
physical is also in order, so that you may address
whole being healing.
