Processing Anger

Processing Anger

It’s not clear to me why, but I sense a strong undercurrent of latent anger within.

Over the years, I’ve learned to control it, but not perfectly.

It emerges at times.

I wonder if it’s because I’ve never really, truly processed it.

Probably because I wasn’t really even aware of it.

My suspicion is that it comes from ego and a sense of entitlement.

I’m not sure.

I just have recently-mostly thanks to meditation-recognized that there’s a lack of internal harmony because that anger, whether at the world or at myself or at something else, was a massive, nearly invisible block.

It’s present in my shoulders often.

Now, the letting go begins.

Sometimes what we think it is anger it might not be. Anger can be a surface emotion, sometimes masking deeper feelings like fear, shame, hurt, disappointment, frustration...it's like the tip of the iceberg of something much deeper
