Being Pissed... the Yellow Brick Road?
Jane called me the other day. She is a young adult
who had been feeling depressed and unmotivated, beating
up on herself and displaying self-destructive attitudes.
As Abraham-Hicks explains so well, emotions are
frequencies and like a rainbow, there are
numerous emotions that vibrate, each at their own
frequency.
I like to use the image of a ladder with each
rung representing a different emotion.
As you ascend the ladder, each rung resonates at
an increasingly higher frequency. exactly like
colors of a rainbow.
At the bottom of the ladder are emotions such as
fear, depression, despair, shame, and guilt. These represent
states of powerlessness. These emotions are very painful
because they create discord in our own body.
At the top of the ladder you find joy, peace, love,
enthusiasm, passion, and a complete sense of empowerment.
Well, to return to my story: Jane was feeling very low
down on the ladder.
So I asked her my favorite question in this case:
"What pisses you off?"
You are no doubt thinking, "But she is not pissed; she
is depressed!" Well you are right, but this is exactly
the problem! She needs to be pissed right now.
You see, anger vibrates at a higher frequency than
depression, and if she ever wants to feel good again,
she will have to raise her frequencies a few rungs at a time
until she reaches the top of the ladder.
Failure to quickly ascend the ladder and beginning
to feel better often comes from the fact that people
at the bottom want to feel good immediately, and shoot
for the top of the ladder in one long impossible stride.
But this is a useless strategy as the gap between
these frequencies is simply too great a distance.
Abraham-Hicks says in one of her recordings that she
has never seen someone do that! So if Abraham has
never seen any human jump from feeling powerless to
feeling powerful in one big stride, then I guess we may
deduce that it will probably not happen.
So, I asked Jane, "What is pissing you off?" (Excuse my
French ;).
Luckily, I didn't have to give her any more permission; here
she went immediately to the heart of the matter. She had tons
of issues and seemingly little things that were making her angry.
They literally ran the gamut, right down to some T-shirts that didn't
fit her well from a specific shop. Soon, (after this venting episode)
she was relating how much better she already felt.
"Good!" I said. "Keep going; you're doing well".
I assume no one had ever given her the "go ahead" to
dump her baggage and believe me, she was happy to do it!
Now she was feeling quite relieved, but later in the
conversation, I noticed that she harbored some anger
toward her parents.
So, I encouraged her to go ahead and let the steam out!
Again, she charged in with gusto. Once in a while I would
say, "Great, keep going."
Soon, she stopped to tell me how she had
not breathed so deeply in years; that for the first time
in her life she felt at peace. Not excited, but genuinely
peaceful.
She said, "Is this Nirvana or what? I feel sooo good!
It's fantastic."
We stayed like that, just silently milking the moment.
She felt her mind had stopped racing. She wanted to meditate,
be quiet... feel the peace.
She than had insights like:
-Nothing has changed in my life but I feel so good!
-So, this is what Source energy
feels like!
-I am free to feel good whenever I want; All I need to do
is let the steam off and climb up the ladder.
-Now I know the path to freedom.
"It is better than drugs," she said. Yes, it surpassed
anything she had ever felt.
Notice, Jane had an advantage over some of my other clients
who have been conditioned not to feel anger. She had no
problem with it.
I invited another client this week to get pissed off.
She was feeling really down, but she was unable to
get into anger; she got up to the "blame" rung, but in the
"blame mode" you are still powerless.
The rung where your power first returns to you is the
"anger" rung. At first it will be directed toward others or
yourself; then it will turn into a type of anger
that is positive, self-empowering, powerful.
This variety of productive anger has unfortunately never
been experienced by many people.
They have such a fear of anger that they remain paralyzed
on the "fear" rung, or sometimes become trapped in blame
or even rage.
But blame and rage do not bring on the self-empowering
state that true, pure anger is all about.
The word anger is misleading for most of us. It is so
charged in heavy negative connotations that most of us
do not know what powerful, positive anger feels like.
So to help you experience it, I am going to give you
the thoughts you can use to lead you up the ladder
and past the thoughts of blame into self-empowerment.
So here are the directional keys to "feeling good":
Step 1- Recognize where you are on the ladder.
Become aware of the thoughts you have such as:
"There is nothing I can do or change in this area of my life."
(This makes you feel powerless.)
You may want to ask yourself, "What is it that I fear
exactly?" You often are not aware of what you really fear.
Discovering this is already empowering you.
Notice that you don't have to feel especially depressed
in order to benefit from this exercise.
Even the slightest sense of stress and low energy
can be a sign that you are entertaining several
thoughts that are blocking the free flow of your
energy and holding you down on the lower rungs
of the ladder.
Step 2- Reach for a thought that will bring you up to
anger. I often begin with, "I am tired of... !"
or "I am totally pissed off about ...!"
And keep going as long as you can still find something
that you are pissed about.
If you are not finding that you are angry at something,
say "I am tired of the fact that I am accepting all this ..."
(You can even be angry at not being angry ;)
3- When you get to a point where you are really tired of
it and you feel you will not accept this situation anymore,
you are on your way to freedom.
Look for a thought like: "Nobody will stop me from ..."
4- Then direct your attention towards things YOU can do to
overcome this issue:
I could do this ..., I could do that ..., (becoming hopeful about
possibilities). New ideas will come to you now that
your vibrations have changed and your focus in on the
solution instead of the problem.
5- Now you can look for decisions to make:
"I am going to do this ..."
"It's as good as done ...!"
You will feel more and more excited to find out that
you have ALL the power; you can change the way you
think and if it is the only thing you can do, it is the most
important thing by far. By making the decision to think differently,
you are going to sense your power again and reconnect
with your Source energy that has always been there,
feeling good. Then the world around you will mirror your
new frequency.
So get pissed off! It's the shortest path to enlightenment ;)
Warmly,
Colette
