Awareness That Heals

In this fourth of six guided meditation on caring for and responding to anger, Robert reminds you that if you act spontaneously on your angry emotions, it's going to lead to something destructive.

It can be a lifelong journey to alleviate suffering that stems from anger and aggression. This transformative process can guide you from aggressive emotions toward your deepest passions and greater peace. The accompanying guided meditation encourages a pause to foster awareness of anger and its resistant emotions, which is the beginning of helping prevent you from succumbing to reactive aggression. Cultivating a sincere curiosity can propel you into contemplation and help address the underlying needs that fuel your initial anger. The key is to liberate yourself from self-destruction and negativity and redirect your focus to fulfilling genuine needs. You will discover an intention that fosters a heart connection, sensitivity, trust, and love. The real treasure lies when you pause and sense the impulse to open your mind and heart.

This is a six-part process. The initial step involves awareness of your emotion. The second is the evolutionary act of self-care. The third step encourages containment and complete acknowledgment of your emotions. The fourth imperative step involves delving deep into your needs and utilizing the Introspective Guides on the AwarenessThatHeals.org website if needed. Step five emphasizes sincere communication of your needs with a sensitive tone being careful not to just express these with anger. The sixth step requires assessing your ability to move towards anyone to see if they are receptive and if they aren't then to do inner work and develop the ability to find tolerance, peace and  clarity by working it out inside yourself. Being sensitive to the capacity of the person to be receptive when you’re upset is crucial. The key lies in developing  maturity by caring for yourself without placing blame. Countless individuals have employed this process to reshape their approach to aggression and unearth their inherent needs. This journey requires awareness, honesty, integrity, contemplation, and balance.
