Anger → Hatred

If we have anger towards another person, and we don’t allow ourselves to feel it, that anger can turn into hatred.

And while Chazal talk about anger being a bad, bad middah, the Torah actually forbids hatred.

So if we don’t allow ourselves to feel the anger, it’ll turn into sin’ah. And sure, anger is bad, but hatred is so much worse.

This doesn’t mean taking the anger out on the other person. It doesn’t mean expressing it to them (sometimes it’s beneficial, usually probably not). But being honest with yourself that yes, I’m feeling anger towards this person, is the first step.

And then to allow myself to truly feel it. That’s what embodiment is: being able to, in the right environment, feel it through your body, so that your body can process it. So that your mind and your whole self can be cleaner in relationship to this other person.

Then we can figure out how to move forward.

Embodiment is the feminine path to Menuchas Hanefesh. You don’t have to walk it alone.
