Are you making choices in love or fear? Take this self-assessment today to find out: https://seatofthesoul.com/cultivating-love-optin/ Letting go of anger and resentment is one of the most challenging - and transformative - inner commitments a person can make. In this episode, Linda Francis shares a grounded, compassionate explanation of what it truly takes to release these painful emotions. Rather than offering a quick fix, she describes a lifelong practice: choosing, again and again, not to act on the anger that arises and instead learning to feel it with full awareness. Through this process, listeners discover that emotional healing comes not from suppression, but from conscious choice. As Linda deepens the teaching, she explains how the universe provides opportunities to challenge the angry and resentful parts of our personalities. These moments - often unexpected - are invitations to grow. When anger appears, we can learn to locate it in the body, observe its thoughts, and use our will to refrain from acting from it. Each time we do this, the frightened parts lose power, and the loving parts gain strength. This is the essence of creating authentic power. Ultimately, letting go of anger and resentment becomes possible when you choose not to feed these parts of your personality. By feeling the emotion without acting on it, you stop reinforcing it - and you begin cultivating the loving, constructive aspects of yourself that reshape your life.
