Soul Notes from Divya

For a long time, I was wondering what to write today… Then a word flashed in my mind- ANGER

We usually think of anger as a devil. But is it really? Or is there something deeper beneath that fiery mask?

Let’s dive in.

🔥 Anger’s Many Faces

Anger is not just shouting, screaming, or throwing things. It hides in resentment, avoidance, suppression, and even in that forced smile. These are anger’s quieter masks.

We spend so much energy trying to manage, suppress, or control anger… but what if, instead, you sat close with it? Closed your eyes, invited it in, and asked:

“Why are you here? What are you trying to do for me?”

If you dare to look into anger’s eyes, you might see something surprising… tears.

🌀🌀Science & Spirit Agree

From a biological view, anger is our nervous system’s coping mechanism. It’s how the body alerts us to possible danger, a survival signal that sharpens focus and mobilizes energy.

From a spiritual lens, anger is the fire element in us. Fire burns, yes, but it also illuminates, transforms, and forges resilience. When met with awareness, anger becomes clarity and the capacity to let go without holding grudges.

Anger is not against us.
Anger is asking for our attention, so it can dissolve

Practice: Meeting Anger with Breath

Next time you feel anger rising:
1. Pause: Place your right hand on your heart, left hand on your belly.
2. Breathe deeply: inhale through the nose for 4 counts, hold 2 counts, exhale slowly through the mouth for 6 counts
3. As you breathe, whisper inwardly: “I see you, anger. I hear you. I’m listening.”
4. Stay for 2–3 minutes. Let the fire cool into light.

📝 Reflection Prompt

“Dear anger, if I truly listened to you, what are you trying to protect me from?”

Write without censoring - let anger speak.
You may discover hidden strength, a boundary you ignored, or a truth waiting to be seen.

💌 Remember, friends:
Anger isn’t the villain
It’s just a messenger waiting to be embraced
Change the lens, and you’ll discover the gold beneath

With love & fire, Divya
