I so love welcoming you with Aloha.
I so love welcoming you to another episode of Spiritual Storytelling.
For thousands of years Master Story Tellers have used stories to pass on blessings, seed generational wisdom and trigger AHA moments within listeners.
Aloha means and carries all the blessings of:
- Absolute True Love. Divine Light.
- The Presence of Divine Breath.
- Recognizing God in Everyone, in All life.
- Truth & Humbleness.
- Being Aware in Each Moment.
Can you imagine living in Aloha every moment?
Can you imagine leaping over life’s challenges with grace and ease to experience the wonders of vital health; the freedom of financial wealth; the bliss of a quiet, focused mind; the joys of loving relationships; your infinite soul powers; and seeing your dreams come true?
Over the past 40 years I’ve helped thousands of people of all ages do just that.
That’s how I know you too can live like that and my mission in life is helping you get there.
One of the obstacles we all encounter on our Quest for Living in Aloha, which is our Divine Birthright, is Anger.
On one hand, Anger blocks our Aloha.
And, on the other hand, Anger is the perfect jet fuel to jettison us into states of Ecstasy, Empowerment and Enlightenment.
Are you interested in knowing some time-tested, easy-to-use ways to turn Anger into an Ally?
Ways applicable to anyone from 2 to 122.

I’ll put the link to these powerful gifts in the show notes.
And some of those freebies include jet-propelled practices that can Turn Anger into Ecstasy, Empowerment and Enlightenment.
I’m also sure you’ll have some insightful AHA moments during our time together now or in the coming days as the AHA seeds of Aloha’s Divine Light we’re now planting start to sprout.
Prior to embarking on my own Aloha Quest over 40 years ago, I had no idea how much anger I had pent up inside.
Even as this poem arose from within me while driving home from a yoga class one night early on in this Quest, I had no idea it related to me.
“There are people who . . .
show the tall, proud, monumental exterior of a volcano peak to the outside world, while the lava of a thousand hurts boils inside, ready to erupt and destroy some portion of the volcano and its surroundings.
There are people who . . .
reveal the currents of their cascading stream to all who care to observe—getting wet, never caught or impeded, constantly rising and falling, dodging, rushing, standing . . .
In total harmony with the Universe about.”
Years later, as I walked into an appointment with a psychologist I was seeing now and then, she stunned me with this statement before I ever sat down:
“I’m surprised you haven’t killed someone yet.”
I couldn’t believe my ears. Killing someone was the furthest thing from my mind. I was shocked. Shocked enough to listen, learn and start the process of cooling down the lava boiling inside beneath my conscious awareness.
My process has included meditation, being more present to my feelings, tuning into what my body was reflecting, t’ai chi, qigong and much more.
My big breakthrough relative to anger came on a trip to the Siddha Yoga Ashram in Ganeshpuri, India where I took a course on the Spanda Karikas (Verses on Pulsation), a text from the Hindu tantric tradition.
Of all the verses in that text, one hit home for me. It says that pure consciousness, the heart-stopping brilliance that composes the core of reality, is especially close to us in moments of emotional intensity. Moments of intensity that might seem like the very opposite of peace.
The text goes on to give examples: “When you’re angry, or overjoyed, or at an impasse reflecting what to do, or running for your life, find within that state the perfect condition of the primordial energy.”
Meditation Master Sally Kempton, once a prominent writer and Siddha Yoga Monk, says:
“This is a deep clue about how to practice in our speeded-up times. It’s no secret that strong feelings and experiences carry a lot of energy. Why else would people go to raves, become war correspondents, or provoke their lovers into screaming matches? But there’s a big difference between using strong energy to get high or to feel more alive, and consciously using energy as a way to move deeper into our own essence. That movement, of course, is what the inner life is all about.”
Sally continues: “And it’s the radical truth behind the Spanda Karikas verse: If we choose to practice with such strong energies, they can lead us into the very source of our own power. Entering a strong feeling is like splitting an atom, except that when you practice going to the heart of an intense feeling, the power you will find inside it is essentially the very creative force of the universe.”
Combining the essence of this verse from the Spanda Karikas with my t’ai chi and qigong experience and knowledge, I developed a way to use these powerful energies like anger to generate feelings of ecstasy while simultaneously purifying, releasing and resolving the source of the anger (without even knowing the original source) and thus empower us and move us one moment closer to living in our enlightened state on a more consistent basis.
Are you ready to discover this secret?
Will you use it? Will you practice it over and over?
It’s so simple and yet so many refuse to practice even the simplest things and remain stuck spinning on the subconscious wheels of past hurts with the lava of those hurts boiling deep inside.
Are you ready to use that lava of a thousand hurts boiling inside to transform yourself and the hurts, instead of erupting and destroying or hurting yourself or someone else, emotionally and/or physically?
Here’s the secret. I hope you engage with it and put it in your recipe book of ways to live a thriving life.
As you feel these intense energies like anger arising, set these simple steps in motion. You can remember them using the acronym SAFETY.
S is for Stop. Literally Stop yourself right then and there from any further actions and thoughts.
A is for Acknowledge. Right then and there, fully acknowledge what you’re feeling. Don’t deny it, rationalize it, sweep it under the rug or minimize it in any way.
F is for Feel. Really feel the feelings arising. Let them flow. Let them build. Be with them. Fully. Breathe, not cooling, but fanning the flames of the energies. Bring them to their peak.
E is for Expand. Next, use these intense feelings, these powerful energies, to Expand beyond them. You do this by taking all these intense, vibrating, pulsating energies flooding your body and focus them at the base of your spine.
On a long, slow inhale consciously pull these energies up your spinal column through the second chakra, then the solar plexus, your heart chakra, your throat, third eye, crown and then out the top of your head directly back to God.
Remember the acronym SAFETY. We’re now at T. Trust.
And how’s this for synchronicity . . . as I typed the word “Trust” a holistic healer on a podcast playing in the background said “Trust”.
T is for Trust. Trust the process you’re now fully engaged in. Trust what you’re sensing. What you’re feeling. What you might be hearing inside. Trust.
Can you guess what the Y relates to?
Why Yes, it’s YOU. Y is for YOU. Trust in this process. Trust in YOU.
This process clears the anger from your entire system as you pull it up your chakras and give it back to God. If you need to know the actual source of these intense energies, it too will be provided without asking.
We all have layers of anger within. Don’t be surprised if anger still arises even after an intense transformational experience of one such arising. But they do get fewer and fewer, less and less intense, and much fewer, less intense than if you do not engage this powerful practice.
After decades of using this practice and truly not experiencing any anger, thinking it had all been purged from my being, an exchange with my mom one afternoon showed me otherwise. BOOM. It was instantaneous.
Thankfully my use of the SAFETY system had become almost instantaneous by this point.
So, I Stopped.
I Acknowledged what was happening.
I Felt this intense anger. I let it grow.
I then Expanded, pulling it up and out my spine, returning it to God.
This literally just took moments.
Then I Trusted what I heard and felt to do in the moment. That it would somehow, without knowing how, serve me and my mom.
Suddenly, I found myself, a 50 plus year-old-man consciously throwing a child-like temper tantrum in front of his mommy. Fully engaged and fully witnessing, simultaneously.
And without going into the details, it opened the space for an incredible bonding and healing for me and my mom.
Once again, many years passed without noticing a trace of anger. Nearly a decade later, the magic of mom and son dynamics sparked an even more intense interaction.
Once again, triggered by something my mom said, I literally felt the lava of a thousand volcanoes boiling inside. Once again, the SAFETY steps automatically engaged.
I Stopped.
I Acknowledged what was happening.
I Felt anger more intense than ever.
I pulled it up and out my spine, returning it to God.
Once again, I Trusted what I heard and felt to do in the moment that would somehow, without knowing how, serve me and my mom.
No temper tantrum this time. No jumping up and down. No Stomping. No Yelling.
No, I picked up an antique dining chair (part of a set once owned by my paternal grandparents that I had just picked up from my dad, a set that I loved), raised it over my head and . . . can you guess what followed?
If you guessed slamming it to the floor, shattering the legs and back, you’re right.
I slammed it to the floor and in the process shattered lifetimes of anger. Lifetimes of karmic junk. I instantly felt this huge relief. I felt great.
My mom stood there watching. Probably both amazed and shocked at what she was seeing. But she said nothing.
Steeped in this deep relief I tuned in ever deeper. There was more that needed to come out. Already feeling great, I followed my instincts. Picking up another chair, raising it over my head, I crashed it to the floor, destroying it as well.
Total relief ensued. No anger remained.
Through this entire process I was centered, fully aware, with no conscious thoughts, serenely peaceful within.
I again looked at my mom. She said nothing. She simply and directly pointed to one of the broken legs on the floor and asked me to get it for her.
Mom was in her 80’s at this point and couldn’t bend down to pick things up.
Alarm bells rang inside me. That broken leg she wanted was like a dagger that could really hurt me and being on the receiving end of some pretty painful childhood physical punishments she dished out and lots of passive-aggressive behavior throughout the years, I almost didn’t give it to her.
But I remembered T . . . Trust. So I Trusted, having no idea what she was going to do with that broken, jagged leg.
Keeping eyes-to-eyes contact the whole time, I gave her the stick, didn’t flinch as she raised it above her head, and watched in pure joy as she slammed it into the floor with all her might.
Slammed it into the floor releasing and resolving over 8 decades of pent-up anger. It was a total healing for both of us.
All because I listened inwardly from the moment the anger arose and then just went with the flow.
If you’d like to receive more of my mom’s infinite blessings within the storytelling of some of our highest and lowest moments together, including being her caretaker and holding her as she transitioned in a way that blew me away, I invite you to read or listen to the blog posts “The Grief Of Death and Death Of Grief, Parts 5 and 6”. There truly are many blessings waiting there for you.
That experience with my mom over a decade ago was the last bout of intense anger. It was the last of any anger until about 3 years ago when frustration upon frustration brought a little more to the surface to be felt and transformed.
Is there more remaining? Perhaps. But whether it’s anger or some other powerful energy arising, I treat them one in the same.
They are jet fuel for firing up feelings of ecstasy and personal empowerment and evolution. I acknowledge, feel, expand and trust in me and what I’m guided to do in the moment. Even if that guidance is contrary to what I might normally do.
Here’s one more thing to ponder as we wrap this up. Many years ago, on the release of Yogananda’s two volume book set, “The Second Coming Of Christ”, I immediately dove in as I had most of Yogananda’s other books of poetry and guidance.
Poetry and Guidance that is not only written with a love and beauty that is beyond compare, but that always seemed to penetrate my heart and mind when other things couldn’t.
Reading the complete first volume and halfway through the second was so delicious, like eating smooth raw chocolate pudding with coconut whipped cream on top.
And then Yogananda said something that surprised me. Totally surprised me. I don’t remember the exact words and I no longer have the books as reference, but Yogananda, who is as close to Christ as he is with Krishna, said something to the effect . . . “Do you think Christ is happy with what he’s witnessed here on Earth over the past several thousand years? With what he’s seeing today? No, in fact he’s quite angry!”
Ponder on that.
Remember Christ throwing, tossing and turning the tables of the merchants?
Ponder on that.
Great Masters are not bound by anything. They will use every moment, every circumstance possible to wake us up in ways impossible to anticipate.
While we might label some of their actions and even physical expressions as angry, they are merely playing a part for the UPLIFTMENT of everyone around in that moment. Inside they are still established in Peace, Love, Bliss, GOD. Even their apparent anger is a blessing!
And if you’re blessed to have children, grandchildren, nieces, and/or nephews in your family or as neighbors or work with children in any capacity, several of Bliss Beary Bear’s Fairy Tales Of The Heart like “Monsters Beware”, “Power Animal Pals”, and “Yabuts Live In Rountuits” introduce young children and their caretakers to anger in easy to understand, loving ways.
And “Precious Panda Pearls” incorporates the components of SAFETY in an exercise that is fun, interactive, demonstrative and effective in transforming anger energies for youngsters. You’ll even have fun doing it. It’s called Panda Stompa.
And don’t forget to pick up all the freebies I mentioned earlier. There’s something there for children of all ages, all members of your family.
As we wind this down today, I’d like to share some sage-like advice from one of my distant cousins who started writing poetry in her 80’s.
“Once, when I was feeling
That life was harsh and mean,
I cured myself by peeling a
T-A-N-G-E-R-I-N-E!”
With that spark of simplicity and freshness, let’s conclude this Aloha time together with a blessing for each other and all of life.
I invite you to close your eyes if it’s safe to do so.
Bring your hands to your heart. Be totally present with your hands over your heart.
Be aware of your precious breath. Feel it entering and leaving your beautiful body.
Feel, perhaps even hear your Beloved Heartbeat.
Feel your LIFE FORCE, Your DIVINE LIGHT pulsing in, as, through and for you.
There’s nowhere else to be, nothing else to do.
Sincerely honor yourself as I am honoring you right now. As all your Beloveds no longer blessing your life with their physical presence honor you. Feel the love you are. Feel the magnificence of You!
There’s nowhere else to be, nothing else to do except to now send a BURST of YOUR DIVINE LIGHT as a TIDAL WAVE OF LOVE ROLLING OUT and immersing ALL LIFE, the entire world, Our Sun, all stars, our Solar System, Our Galaxy and all of creation in LIGHT, LIGHT, LIGHT. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. ALOHA, ALOHA, ALOHA.
If your eyes are closed, slowly open them to the beauty before you.
