This was so on the nail...

How easy it is to give in to anger; it gives a false sense of strength and hides the pain we don't want to admit is there. Interestingly i've been seeing this anger and resentment as a snake eating its own tail; it just consumes and consumes the person.

A snake eating its own tail indeed!! What we're looking at in the Openhand work is, "what is the truth concealed in the distortion?" If we can find the aligned aspect in the distortion, the truth within anger for example, then by expressing the truth, the distortion will fall away.

To me, the truth in anger is the Ray 1 of will - the drive to shake things up and change them. But to do so without anger or resentment. Working to peel off that density by letting the aligned expression come through. Often it helps to combine this powerful energy of the ray 1 with another quality - humour for example. Can I deliver the same thing with a sense of irony? Or can I deliver it but with an empowering question that gets the other to explore within: "how would you feel if you experienced your inalienable rights and freedoms being taken away?"

To offer a question is possibly the most powerful thing we can do to help people empathise with us, and also to begin their own inquiry of change.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Open ♥️🙏
