Releasing Emotions

Nov. 07
We cannot resolve emotions through the mind. The mind is merely the receiver of information. The sender is our body. That is why when we get angry, it rises faster than our rational mind could catch it.
To resolve anger, we must release our awareness into our liver. We will learn tangibly how to finely and fully tune into how our liver is feeling when we are angry. When our awareness become more and more sensitive, we could feel more and more strongly that anger releases such toxin, such poison, such destruction force in our liver, into our own body! This bodily sensation becomes so overwhelming that we are horrified at how we abuse ourselves when we get angry with others.
This is when we break down in grief for ourselves. This is when past anger that’s been stored in our liver can begin to release. Then there is space within to feel the tenderness and gentleness for ourselves. Compassion can arise within ourselves. This is when we would never want to commit such atrocity, unleash such violence on ourselves again.
The next time when something outside of us shows injustice and wrong doing, we can firmly put down our principles of what is right and just without anger. This is the ultimate way to end anger—through tuning into our body, through deep meditation when we release our awareness into our body, keeping it there so the awareness becomes finer and finer, until we truly hear our own body, truly know our own body, and truly understand our own body, what it wants and how to gain balance and harmony. This peace within will manifest to the without. This is the true change. Our mind will follow this change of our being.
