Quotes from Episode:

"Anger is one of the most powerful emotions for infusing your life with Life Force energy, but it is often denied in our culture because people don’t know how to express anger healthily."

"Scream into your hands, stamp your feet! Spend 10 minutes doing this instead of bypassing your emotional body. Avoid falling into distractions, addictions, or sinking into a well of self-pity within a never-ending loop of processing and mistakenly labeling it as spirituality."
