Thanks.
Funny that this thread has been revived.
How have your ideas on energy evolved since then?
I know! And thanks for stopping by!
And funny you should ask, because my ideas have evolved. Here are some understandings I've come to. Some of them sound rather 'out there' but you asked, haha.
* Matter (including your body) is solidified energy. Parts of your body being more solid than other parts of course. But flow of energy is the constant that keeps you alive and animated. In death, it all becomes stagnant except the spark of life, which returns to the source.
* Pain in the body is 'tangled' energy that is not flowing as it should, and can be mitigated by encouraging the natural flow, or in the case of an injury, patience to allow the energy to dissipate. Stand barefoot in the grass with the sun warming the crown of your head, and feel the energy flow thru you. Imagine it working out parts of the 'tangles' as it goes.
* Sound vibration is a powerful form of energy. Especially sound we create with our own utterances, because it sends the vibrations throughout our body on the way out. If you sit still and do the "OM" sound loudly, and try to 'move' it up and down your spine or around your body, it actually feels like you are able to do this. Then focus it on an area of pain or concern. Is it psychosomatic? I don't know, but if it works, who cares, haha.

It is, by perceived necessity, released out of fear and not actively projected (Love) and manifests in harmful ways, such as hateful words and hurtful actions. (The phrase 'letting off steam' is quite applicable!) ...
... What thoughts came to you as you read it?
Manage Anger—Avoid Rage
Dr. Redford B. Williams states in JAMA: “The simplistic advice, ‘when angry, let it out,’ is unlikely . . . to be of much help. Far more important is to learn how to evaluate your anger and then to manage it.” He suggests asking yourself: “(1) Is this situation important to me? (2) Are my thoughts and feelings appropriate to the objective facts? (3) Is this situation modifiable, so that I don’t have to have this anger?”
Proverbs 14:29; 29:11 “He that is slow to anger is abundant in discernment, but one that is impatient is exalting foolishness. All his spirit is what a stupid one lets out, but he that is wise keeps it calm to the last.”
Ephesians 4:26 “Be wrathful, and yet do not sin; let the sun not set with you in a provoked state.”
Frank Donovan, in his book Dealing With Anger—Self-Help Solutions for Men, recommends: “Escaping anger—or, more specifically, escaping the scene and other people in your angry episode—is a strategy which has special importance and value at the higher levels of anger.”
Proverbs 17:14 “The beginning of contention is as one letting out waters; so before the quarrel has burst forth, take your leave.”
Bertram Rothschild, writing in the journal The Humanist, states: “Anger . . . is primarily one’s personal responsibility. The reasons to become angry exist in our heads. . . . The few times anger worked for you pale in comparison to the multitude of times it made things worse. It is far better not to produce the anger than to experience it.”
Psalm 37:8 “Let anger alone and leave rage; do not show yourself heated up only to do evil.”
Proverbs 15:1 “An answer, when mild, turns away rage, but a word causing pain makes anger to come up.”
Proverbs 29:22 “A man given to anger stirs up contention, and anyone disposed to rage has many a transgression.”
