How Anger Hurts You

In a healthy body, the flow of healthy energy is perfectly regulated synchronistically. Healthy people are firmly locked into these rhythms. When disease occurs, one of those rhythms has gone awry. Stress is the biggest disrupter. If you’re stressed, if you’re feeling hostility, your body’s balance gets thrown off. Stress breaks our non-local connection with everything else. When you are experiencing disease (“dis-ease”), then some part of your body is beginning to get constricted. It is tuning itself out from the non-local field of intelligence.

There are many emotions that can cause a disruption of the electromagnetic field in the heart, but the ones that have been most precisely documented are anger and hostility. Once this synchronization is disrupted, your body starts to behave in a fragmented manner. The immune system gets suppressed, which leads to other problems, such as increased susceptibility to cancer, infections and accelerated aging. This effect is so strong that animals can pick it up. If a dog sees a person who is harboring hostility, it will bark and act ferocious. Wherever you go, you are broadcasting who you are at this very intimate level.

Anger has many ways to show & effect us badly,it´s a strongly negative force & if one isn´t careful & watches out, they´ll get very sick from it!!

Contiue previous note...
Believe me once it hapened that I felt a friend is angry,I tried to help him,isisted to know why he is angry and from whom ,he did speak ,I kept trying to help him...
Lately, he spoke,and I was so astonished and felt guilty ..do you know why, and I did not believed my feelings and asked myself : do you believe that you are the cause?!, I could not remember and I did not feel that I did it !!and I do not think I will do it.
Anyhow I opologiezed and we discussed the situation, I undestood why he was angry and I explained to him and expressed my feeling. We overcomed it at last.
I mean sometimes a person might get angry from a very simple thing and may let a person be angery and does not mean it.
Beaware of your communication language verbal and nonverbal ( Jargon language , Gestures) might help preventing anger and be kind a little bit also as preventive measure.
Thanks
Happy New Year To All.

Well, it is realy an interesting artickl and notice posted befor me ...
Each person might experience anger , he might be angree or might cause it to others...in both it is experience the problem is what can we do to prevent it as sometimes the person might not cope with it and stay a long period being angre, the state which disturbs every thing physically and pshosocially?

Last night my husband said something that upset me. Instead of feeling helpless and obliged to go along with what he had said and eventually resentful, I actually told him that I disagreed.
A bit later I realised that I was really angry with him. As he came to me to apologise, I was preparing to tell him that I was angry. He apologised and wanted that to be the end of it, but I still harboured anger. So I told him I accepted his apology (which I do, because I know what he said wasn't intended to hurt) but that I needed to tell him I was angry. And I did need to because suddenly POOF! the anger disappeared. Just like that. Wonderful.
This may seem elemental to any of you reading it with an ounce of emotional intelligence, but for me it is amazing. Previously this anger would have been added to all the other festering wounds that I keep sealed away.
