Are you mad? Dealing effectively with the negative energy of anger and resentment (731 hits)

Dealing effectively with the negative energy of anger and resentment seems to be a skill most people are still working at getting a handle on. Medical studies have proven that long held anger and resentment is damaging to our physical and emotional well-being. In other words, the energy of resentment eats away at our minds, our bodies and the body of our relationships. Given this knowledge, why would anyone want to hold on to resentment, anger and bitterness?

Someone once said holding resentment toward another person is like drinking arsenic and hoping the person you are resenting dies. Buddha put it another way: “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else—you are the one who gets burned.” This helps put it into perspective, doesn't it? “Re-sent-ment” is simply re-sent “anger.” It is the mental and emotional act of resending toxic and negative energy through our own minds and bodies, repeatedly.
