Sacred Fire: Alchemizing Your Anger - For What Doesn't Get Expressed Will Eventually Implode or Erupt

What doesn’t get expressed, gets stuck … and, will erupt.

We live in a culture where emotions are still often seen as soft, and vulnerability is seen as weak.

What we fail to recognize is emotions are our strength, our internal compass, and our pathway to more intentional leadership.

These proclaimed “soft” skills are the hard skills too many have never been taught how to properly access. These fundamental, necessary human skills are the core skills needed to navigate a tumultuous world.

Yet, we still try to suppress them, bypass them, or ignore them altogether.

We don’t see that our truth is trying to speak to us … to wake us up to why we are here at this moment in time. 

We all have a role to play. Our emotions serve as a navigation systemas to how to activate that role when we know how to regulate them.

Because what gets suppressed and isn’t given breath to be expressed gets bottle up and becomes a pressure cooker … that at some point, will implode.

I know this all too well, firsthand.

I found myself paralyzed, where I couldn’t walk, back in January.

Not once, but three times, my back seized up to the point where I was double over in so much pain I wasn’t able to make the distance between my bed and my bathroom.

Fortunately, each time, I was able to slow my energy down, breathe into the pain, and give myself the love and heart calibration I needed to breakthrough the paralysis.

But, let me assure you … I was freaking out and scare shitless.

I have scoliosis (was diagnosed at age 12) and have always struggled with back pain. But, I usually have been able to manage it. 

I wasn’t sure what was happening this time.

It was only when I dropped back into my body that I realized what was actually happening. I was storing massive amounts of emotional energy, particularly rage, in my system … and it was stuck.

My body was shutting down, as a result.

You see, our body really does keep score. 

It knows when we are out of alignment and it does everything to protect us, fight for us, and keep us in survival mode when it feels threatened. 

My body felt threatened, and I was in constant fight mode.

I was angry at the world. 

At the lack of leadership and empathy. At the sense that the levels of entitlement, bullying, and bullshit were escalating. I was angry, sad, frustrated, and disappointed with humanity, as a whole.

I sat in the energy of: “What the hell is wrong with people?” and “How the fuck did we get here?” I couldn’t wrap my head, or my heart, around it. 

And, I was raging.

So much so that my body went into to paralysis. It wasn’t able to hold the intensity of my rage, my grief, and my fear.

I had to come back to the basics, to my body.

It was only through regulating and transmuting my emotions that I was able to find creative outlets for my emotions. It was through Heart coherence and calibration that I was able to reclaim my own power.

This is the Sacred Fire I have since been able to tap into.

For when we alchemist our anger (and express the emotions that need a voice), we can consciously create. Our emotions are a signal.

There is a lot to rage about right now. There’s no denying that. Yet, you don’t have to lose yourself in the process. By honoring, regulating, and transmuting that emotional energy … you can awaken, activate, and amplify your unique leadership voice.

The world needs real leadership … and, leadership driven by emotion. The emotional energy of empathy, compassion, kindness, healing, forgiveness, generosity, peace … and, most of all love.

Love is not soft. Love is fierce. 

And, right now we need fierce love and leadership.

Won’t you join me then for a powerful LIVE activation on July 15th. 

For this is a call for visionary and transformational leaders ready to access their Sacred Fire and consciously create the change needed.
