Episode 3: What does Anger have to do with Transformation?
On the day this episode was recorded Allison pulled the Snake + Chickweed card from The Knowing deck. Speaking to the energy of transformation (snake) but also the necessity of ‘protecting’ ourselves during and after a transformative event (chickweed), this card felt wonderfully aligned with the rather intense anger and frustration that has been popping up for a lot of people in the last while.
How are they connected? Why does anger happen during or after we are going through transformation? We explore why this happens for all of us and how to develop mastery in attending to these emerging energies and emotions, along with:
The ‘Vortex’ or Portal that we are currently moving through, and what it is asking of us.
The importance of understanding our relationship to both Fire and Water as elemental experiences.
Understanding our relationship to Divine Masculine (Fire/Will/Third Chakra) energy, and the challenging work of developing mastery with anger.
What it means to be nurturing and sweet to ourselves, and why this is essential work during transformation
When we are doing ‘protecting’ work, is it more beneficial for us to focus on blocking out energies or on nurturing and supporting internal energies?
I think we’ll likely do many, many more future episodes on this topic—it’s a big one!—but hope that today’s conversation at least stimulated some reflection and curiosity for you all.
