Anger has always been an issue for me.
And even as a young child, I always believed that anger is connected
with cancer – if we don't find ways to process our anger
effectively.
As
Black people, we cary a lot of anger due to the oppression we face,
and we have carried that anger for generations. When we carry
negative emotions, they block us from attracting the things we want
and deserve. For more about this, see Achieving Success
and Why We Need to Heal.
The negative emotions we carry affect
our families as well, and I believe they can not only make us prone
to disease, but also block our healing process. But I have long felt
the need to hang onto my anger. It's as if I think it protects me. I have thought of anger as a protection, a form of armour. But
really, the opposite is true.
This is why I have decided to record a
healing meditation to help me let go of any negative emotions and
anything that could be blocking my healing process. It will not just
be for people who have cancer, it will be for anyone who needs
physical or emotional healing.
I have carried a lot of intense anger
and fear in the past, which stems partly from the abuse I experienced
growing up.
I'm a lot less angry than I used to
be, but I still experience the full range, from mild irritation to
annoyance, to anger, rage and fury. Even lingering resentment can be
destructive, as it alienates us from others, and eats away at us from
the inside.
I trust that my new healing meditation
will help me, and will be beneficial for you, too. I shall be
posting a link in the next few days.
