We don't always pay attention to the emotions we feel. Emotions have different tones and qualities to them. They can be painful, pleasant, invigorating, expansive, contractive or stultifying.
Anger and Rage are expansive and invigorating. Anger gets your energy flowing. It can be very useful when used constructively but it can be very detrimental when it makes us mask the deeply painful emotions such as grief, shame and fear.
Grief, shame and fear are painful emotions that are very contractive. These emotions are deadening. They are a drain on our physical and emotional energy. The contractions pull across our torso's wreaking havoc on our physical and emotional well-being. Grief, fear and shame often turn to anger. It is imperative to our overall wellbeing to attend to these emotions and release them.
Pay attention to the way an emotion feels when you experience it. Does it feel expansive? Does it feel pleasant or painful? Does it feel invigorating? Does it feel contractive or stultifying?
