Calm is experienced as peaceful, quiet, with no anger, anxiety or inner noise. You cannot experience inner calm and anger at the same time.
You cannot feel calm when you have unexpressed anger within your soul. Anger is the emotion that helps us understand we are unhappy about something. Anger is the emotion we use to divert ourselves from feeling repressed painful emotions. As long as we lash out and do not take the time to experience the emotions underneath, the cause of our anger, then we continue to push the pain further down, and we cannot experience calm. We need to dig deep to uncover the cause of our pain, to heal the suffering to create inner calm.
Learning to give your anger space to flow respectfully, means identifying the emotion, feeling it, and accessing the emotions buried underneath. It may be as easy as acknowledging to yourself ” I am feeling angry right now and my heart feels tight”. This first step empowers you to make changes in manageable steps. Fear, doubt, uncertainty, and the need to control get in the way.
