Liver & Anger?

[Guest guest]

Hi Katherine

 

Excellent question. In Chinese medicine each organ is associated with

different emotions. The liver is associated with anger, rage, resentment, and

frustration.

 

Each organ has a natural flow of energy. When we express an emotion like

anger, Chinese medicine says the smooth functioning of the liver is impaired

and the energy gets stuck. Positive emotions can be seen as promoting the

smooth flow of energy and negative emotions constricting energy. Energy is

said to follow thought. Love is the greatest healing medicine!

 

I feel the anger and frustration in the earlier part of my life had a very big

part

in my development of rosacea. I can remember feeling a literal knot of energy

in my liver when I would get angry. I consider the rosacea I had to have been

a wake up call from nature. I feel very fortunate I did not develop a life

threatening disease.

 

Almost every liver cleanse I did was accompanied with an intense nightmare

the following night. Nightmares are considered a release of stress. For very

deep seated emotions, I would recommend Chi Nei Tsang massage in

addition to the liver cleanses.

Could someone please write about the connection between the liver and

holding onto anger. I know when I am angry and do not release the

energy, I get blotches on my face. That same happens if I am just

generally run down and don't have time to myself. I've heard that

when some people do liver cleanses, they release rage. Is this true?

 

I am convinced the rosacea I have is the result of being burnt out

and over extended, my sensitive Irsih skin and my sensitive Irish

soul need joy. I am just begining healing, with my first step being

beliving my own intuition again, and strengthening it with rest and

healthy living, and honoring my need for time to myself. I am a stay

at home mom of a very active toddler and my husband is military, ie

away a lot. We are isolated in a foreign country, have no doe, and it

is hard but I need to get creative in getting some help. I've been

trying to do it all and I'm burnt out to say the least.

Does any of this resonate with anyone else's experience?

God bless
