Rage? But I am a nice person, I don't do rage!

Here is more food for thought.

* * *

Rage? But I am a nice person, I don't do rage!

At our last evening.
Suddenly and seemingly "out of the blue" a very "unsexy" topic of rage was in our face. And it was demanding attention.

Rage???? Why not work with something much more attractive, much more exciting like abundance, or success, or creating more love in your life?
(Actually, that was my plan for the evening. Believe me, if it had been "up to me," I wouldn't be working with rage in the first month of the School. I wouldn't be bringing heavy artillery right at the start...But I am not entirely in charge when it comes to these evenings. YOU are. Something GREATER and MORE is.)

Why rage?

I'll tell you why. Because as long as you are blocked by rage, it is going to be pretty darn hard to manifest any lasting success and any real abundance in your life.
And as for love - what do you think being filled with rage does to you and your relationship with love?

Moi? Filled with rage? What are you talking about, Auriela? I am a nice person, a good person, I don't' "do rage...."

Let's identify what I mean by rage first.

Many people use the word rage as a synonym of anger:
"Rage is loud anger, stronger anger, angrier anger..."

Not so.

More often than not, rage is not loud at all, and not in your face. It is usually very quiet, silent and deadly.
Deadly to you.
And deadly to others when it eventually spills out of you.

When someone demeans your character, humiliates you, insults your dignity and devalues you as a human being - you experience rage.

Any one of these (or all of them) will produce it. When someone treats you this way you experience a huge loss of power. It is as if you have just been punched in the gut. As if something inside you has been punctured and is now leaking...
What are you leaking? Your power. Your energy.

When this happens, you are usually unable to respond. Or if you do, it does nothing to make you feel better.
And you can't shake off the experience.

Think about it.

You have been punched and punctured, and you've lost some of your power. And not just that - you are now leaking that power, that energy, getting weaker, losing your life force, and in most cases - you have no idea of what has just happened to you. You may think you are angry, but it is more than that. Anger can be felt and let go of. It takes energy and effort to keep bringing anger back. Anger will dissipate with time. Rage will not.

It will sit inside until you are ready to deal with it, "repair the leak," take your power back. But you need to know how to do it first.

Now imagine years, decades of instances of rage...layer upon layer...unattended. Poisoning you, taking away your energy...
Is it any wonder that you want to leave the job you hate, but you just can't...you want to leave the relationship... but it is too hard...
You say you want to meet someone, but it's just too much work...you want to go after your dream, but you just don't have what it takes...

You've lost too much power, too much energy over the years.

No, rage is not something you can ignore. It is a time bomb hidden inside your body...ticking away...ticking away. It needs to be acknowledged, uncovered and dismantled.

And the good news is it can be done. And it can be done safely.
And not that from then on you will never experience rage again; but you will know how to handle it, how to respond to it, how to take care of yourself, close the leak, repair the damage and get your power back!
You could do it as soon as it happens or soon enough.

This is what we worked with at our last evening. Unexpectedly, surprisingly, magically.

And let me tell you: It was powerful, powerful work. I was blown away by the readiness and by the vulnerability of everyone in the class. I was honored to be part of it . Honored and deeply touched.

I know that most of you live around the country and the world and couldn't attend even if you wanted to.

There will be other opportunities. I am working on creating a series of teleclasses and I will let you know as soon as I am ready.

For now, just think about what you read. If this is new information for you and you want to learn how you can work to heal rage, write to me.

So what are we going to do at our next class? I plan to work on creating success.
Will we? This remains a mystery.
I guess I will find out with the rest of the group.

Those of you still "on the fence," can't decide to come or not to come? You are so welcome!
Join us, see if it is right for you (geography and time permitting.) It is always fun.

Send your questions and comments, you know I always respond, and usually - in depth.

All for now.

See some of you on Tuesday,
Love, Auriela.

P.S. Follow your intuition and if it feels right,
forward this to your friends or your family members.
P.P.S. If you don't live in the San Francisco Bay Area, stay with
us through these emails and keep sending me your questions.
I am planning to do this work via Internet at some point.
I will of course let you know when it happens.
