Great! I’ll be interested in how this goes for you, if you want to post about it or send me a note. And be gentle with yourself — we often stored that anger at a young age when we didn’t have many resources for coping with our strong feelings.

Thanks, Tom. And resentment is a flavor of anger. One of my main teachers, Carol Look the EFT Master, did an experiment years ago on people’s vision and emotions. (EFT is Emotional Freedom Technique, where we tap with our fingers on acupuncture meridian points, where the acupuncturist would insert needles. My March newsletter will have an article on EFT.) In Carol’s experiment, folks tapped for a week on “this fear trapped in my eyesight”, then a week of “this anger at what I saw”, then a week on “my vision will just get worse as I get older”, etc. She said the week focusing on releasing anger got such good results she had to do an extra week on that emotion! I agree with you — I truly believe buried anger (or resentment) causes a lot of health problems and a lot of societal problems.
