Getting Angry to Let It Go

Dear Seekers,

Anxiety is the star of the COVID show. It is the catch-all word being used to describe our collective state of being. As much as anxiety is undoubtedly part of our experience, as it is the body's way of letting us know that we have unmet needs and to tune in, it doesn't describe the whole of it.

I want to invite you to consider the anger you may have about this moment in time (and the past 2 years...). Anger, if we allow it, can be our savior. Anger, if we allow it, can also debilitate us as it remains trapped in our bodies--it is said that anger turned inward is another way to describe depression. Though it is one of the primary human emotions, many of us are taught to ignore it. Anger is threatening to those invested in keeping peace and harmony. It has the energy to disrupt the status quo, at the systems- and interpersonal-levels.
