Anger - why it is important to process it

I was reading through Inelia Benz's website and came across this piece which so resonated with me.
Processing is a tool I have been using for years. It simply means getting in touch with the emotion, feeling (and allowing the tears or whatever is needed for release) and release it lovingly. The most important is to create a safe space around yourself when you do this so that whoever else is involved i.e. that to whom your anger is directed, is not harmed in any way. For ideas on how to create a safe space to go my website.



Here is the piece by Inelia - enjoy it

Many of us are reluctant to process, or release, anger. This is because it is such a powerful source of defensive energy that we think that if we lose it, we will no longer be able to defend ourselves or others. And it has been used successful to get people out of depression or abusive relationships, so it must be good, right?
Anger really is one step above fear. It is an overtone of the fear energy, which is what darkness is built on. It is, in fact, very destructive both for us and those around us.

So there are two things we have to come to terms with, one is that if we remove anger we will not become vulnerable, and the second one is that we do not need anger to act on our convictions.
Many times it is anger that will propel us to do something to stop a war, for example. And often it is only anger which those who try to bully us or step on our toes really hear and understand, and thus stop what they are doing. And this is a good thing. But once we are empowered, we don't need anger to do these things, as we have better tools.
Anger can lead us to lose our temper. And when we lose our temper we can hurt others in emotional, psychological and physical ways.
"The verb temper was borrowed into Old English from Latin temper?re ‘mix, blend’. This seems originally to have meant ‘mix in due proportion’" (word-origins.com)
We lose our due proportion, our balance.
From a young age we are taught to control our temper. To subdue and suppress our anger. This is also negative. Part of becoming free, is to recognize and express our anger at our life, lot, situation and people who have harmed us or rejected us.
But the emotion, like fear, is destructive. If it is oppressed, it has a hold of us and can burst out at a any moment.
In Ascension, it keeps us firmly in a lower vibration.
And this is a very interesting point. Many people have asked me how to increase their perception of their guides, higher self, angels, or how to communicate with other dimensional light beings, or aliens. We have so many ways to explain this phenomenon. But the question is the same. How do we increase our perception of them, how do we make it easier for them to contact us. Well, there are two fundamental blocks that stops these beings from coming near us, one is FEAR, and the second is ANGER.
Yup, it takes more than psychic ability to contact these beings. They still do get through of course, through dreams, synchronicity and other methods, but it is difficult for them and for us. A highly psychic person can indeed contact these beings easily, but just imagine what he or she could do without any of these blocks on the way? For one, they would not be pestered, fooled, or made ill by negative beings.
I have dedicated a huge portion of this website to disseminating the importance of processing fear. And it still is the most important mission here on Earth, to get as many people as possible to start and successfully process their fear.
And now comes the second phase, that of processing anger.
So, if you are game, please do an anger processing method. The one I use is very simple and identical to that for processing fear:
Breathe deeply three times
Close your eyes
Scan your body for anger
Once you find it in your body, observe it.
Do not analyze, give it reasons, validations or memories, simply observer it.
Now, let it grow, let it get huge, bigger than the house you are in, the world, lets see if can get as big as the universe.
Allow any memories, words, situations or pictures to express and release, if one sticks, making you emotional, simply say, "thank you memory/vision/word/emotion"
Then, fill the anger with love and light.
Rinse and repeat.
Here is the fear processing exercise I use.
It might take a while, days, weeks, or even months, but no worries, continue doing this for as long as it takes. Every session counts not just for you, but for the entire human collective.
Sometimes the anger will turn to fear, sometimes to pain, but continue, simply welcome the new manifestation and finish the process.
