❤️🔥Anger as Energy: Honouring Your Truth Without Suppression❤️🔥
As you can see from my last couple of blogs, I’ve been doing a lot of inner work around my emotions recently, particularly after the integration of the body code energy healing sessions I have been having over the last week or so. One question has kept coming up: If someone angers me, and I’m trying to stay in a more spiritual or “high-vibe” space, should I just ignore it and carry on as normal?
I’ve gone back and forth with this. On one hand, the desire to remain calm and centred feels right. On the other, pretending nothing happened or suppressing my feelings never sits well. Through my reflection, practice and time, I’ve come to understand that anger is not the enemy – it’s a messenger, a vibration, a sacred signal from within.
Anger as Energy and Messenger
First, it’s important to know this: anger itself is not bad.
It’s simply energy, arising to show us something important. Often, it’s a sign that a boundary has been crossed, a value has been violated, or that something needs attention. The spiritual journey isn’t about suppressing anger or pretending it doesn’t exist – it’s about consciously transmuting it. Skipping over anger too quickly in an effort to stay “high-vibe” can actually lead us to bypass our own truth.
Suppression vs. Sovereignty
If you’re stepping back, breathing, and observing your emotional response, that is already a conscious, sovereign practice. But sometimes it feels off when:
You tell yourself you “shouldn’t be angry,” creating inner conflict.
You move from awareness straight to peace, skipping the processing in between.
You override your truth to keep the peace, which can lead to energetic leakage.
Your intuition is right: carrying on as if nothing happened, when your body and energy are telling you otherwise, can be a form of self-abandonment.
Reframing the Experience Spiritually
Instead of pushing anger down or pretending to be unaffected, a more aligned approach might look like this:
Acknowledge
“Something in me is activated – this is sacred information.”Inquire
“What value or boundary is being pressed here? Is this about now, or is it something deeper?”Honour the energy without unleashing it
“I’m feeling a strong emotional response right now. I’m going to take space to process this before I respond.”Respond instead of react
Once you’ve centred yourself, return with clarity:
“When that was said/done, it didn’t sit well with me. I value respect and open communication. Here’s what I need moving forward…”
This honours both your boundaries and your energetic integrity.
Boundaries Are Spiritual
Setting boundaries doesn’t make you “less spiritual.” It makes you rooted in self-respect. Energetically, a strong boundary is an act of love – for yourself and for the other person. It says:
“I love myself enough to be clear about what’s okay.”
“I love you enough not to engage from a place of unprocessed emotion.”
Why You Shouldn’t Pretend Nothing Happened
To my earlier question: “Why should I act like nothing happened?”
You shouldn’t. That’s intuition speaking up. Acting as if nothing happened can compromise your boundaries and silence your truth. But here’s the key: you can respond with both grace and fire. You can hold calm presence and assert your truth. This is the sweet spot of energy mastery.
What I have found helpful is repeatedly using affirmations, I like to write them out in my journal and say them out loud. The more you repeat things, it has been scientifically proven the more likely they are to go in and your brain will start to believe them! (You could also use them whilst you are meditating.)
Here are a few that you could use yourself for Transmuting Anger:
Acknowledgement and Presence
“I allow myself to feel without judgement. All emotions are valid messengers.”
“Anger is not a flaw; it is energy rising to reveal truth.”
Boundaries and Empowerment
“I honour my boundaries with love and strength.”
“I can express my truth clearly and calmly, without abandoning myself.”
Transmutation and Peace
“I choose to transform this energy into clarity and aligned action.”
“Peace is not pretending – it’s standing in my power with an open heart.”
Return to Self
“I return to my centre, where wisdom, peace and strength live.”
“My energy is sacred. I protect it by honouring what is true for me.”
I thought I would also include some Energetic Practices that you could use to Process Anger:
These help move emotional energy through the body, so it can be acknowledged, released, and transformed:
Fire Breath / Releasing Breath
Inhale through the nose.
Exhale forcefully through the mouth with a strong “ha!” sound.
Repeat for 20–30 seconds, staying present.
Feel the energy rise and release, then allow your body to settle.
Affirm: “I release what no longer serves. I keep the wisdom.”Energetic Cord Clearing
Visualise a soft golden light surrounding your body.
Imagine any emotional cords detaching and dissolving into Mother Earth.
Send compassion and peace to yourself and the other person.
Call your energy back into your own space with gratitude.
Affirm: “I reclaim my energy. I am whole and clear.”Write and Burn (or Rip) for Release
Write freely about what made you angry. No censoring.
Safely burn or tear up the paper with intention to release.
Affirm: “I honour these feelings. I release them now. I choose peace and personal power.”Grounding with the Earth
Stand barefoot or visualise roots from your feet into the earth.
Exhale tension down through these roots.
Inhale calm, grounding energy up from the earth.
Affirm: “I am grounded. I am supported. I am safe to feel and let go.”
A Final Note
Anger is sacred – it shows us where attention is needed. Boundaries are spiritual – they protect our energy and honour our truth. Peace isn’t about silence or suppression – it’s about standing fully in your own power, with love.
You can be calm and clear.
You can be kind and firm.
You can be spiritual and strong.
I hope you have found this topic interesting, I would love to hear from you if you try any of the above practices and whether you find them helpful to process your anger
Love and light,
