Have you been feeling anger more often lately—maybe even in small, everyday moments? It can feel surprising, even unsettling. But when anger rises, it often carries more wisdom than we realize.

Rather than something to fear or suppress, anger can actually be a doorway back to your natural energy, vitality, and power.

Anger Is Often About More Than the Present Moment

When anger shows up strongly, it’s rarely just about what is happening right now. Beneath the surface reaction—whether it’s tightness in the chest, a swirling storm in the belly, or the impulse to shout—there is often a deeper layer: a memory of a time when you needed your anger, your power, but had to suppress it.

Over time, these moments can create blockages in your natural flow of life force energy. Anger today might be life’s way of inviting you to reconnect to those blocked places—and to reclaim the energy that was tucked away.

The Opportunity Within Anger

If you’re willing to pause and meet anger with presence, rather than judgment or suppression, something begins to shift.

You might notice that the anger itself isn’t the enemy. It’s a signal—a call to feel deeper, to offer yourself the support that was missing before. It’s an opportunity to sit with younger parts of yourself, letting them know that now, it’s safe to feel and express power.

The goal is not to stay entangled in anger, but to move through it, finding the steady strength underneath. Over time, you learn to access your inner vitality directly, without needing anger to unlock it first.

A Simple Practice: Meeting Anger with Presence

Next time you feel anger rise, try this:

  1. Pause. Take a deep breath before reacting. Notice where you feel the anger in your body. Is it in your chest, your belly, your throat?

  2. Feel without labels. Set aside the story about who or what caused the anger. Instead, stay with the raw physical sensation. Feel it fully, as if you were offering a hand to a younger version of yourself who didn’t get to express this before.

  3. Stay present. Remind yourself: It’s safe to feel. I don’t need to act on this feeling right now. I am here for myself.

  4. Allow movement if needed. If your body wants to move—maybe shaking, stomping, or making a sound—find a safe, private space to let the energy move through you.

  5. Breathe. After a few moments, notice how the sensation shifts. Often, underneath anger, there is grief. And if you can breathe into that, you may find relief, strength, and a new sense of aliveness.

 

When anger is met with presence, it becomes more than just a reaction—it becomes a path to reclaiming what is already yours: your life force, your vitality, and your authentic power.
