I've tried, when I'm angry or upset, to just let things go, let the anger flow away.
Sometimes it works...sometimes I can feel it leave (usually the "visualization" that works has it coming out of my forehead, at the area of the third eye, that's the only time I've ever actually "felt" anything leave and feel better afterward.
Most of the time, though, nothing. I've tried grounding exercises, tried sending it out through my feet (or alternatively drawing up good energy), tried just letting it go or sending it out through my hands.
No effect except most of the time the feeling intensifies rather than goes away.
Wondering if anyone has ideas for a different approach, or if there's some aspect to my thought processes that is troubling me. I know that regardless of the rationalizations I've received here, there's been a guilt aspect, that I shouldn't be burdening other things with my own angry emotions, be it the earth or stones, or anything else. Or just letting it go to float wherever. I know that people see the earth as a purifier, various stones as means of balancing, but whatever else the case may be, to me trying to put them to that purpose leads to a greater sense of wrongness in me, and a distinct feeling of "closed off" when I mentally try to ask permission. Whether from me or the focus in question I don't know, as I don't have any grounds for comparison between different things, it all feels the same.
So, ideas? I've actually been doing pretty well lately, but PMS time is coming up and I'm looking for things to experiment with, since the previous efforts haven't really worked well.
Thanks,
Yote
