Why does Anger feel Good?

[Monica]

To me, anger doesn't feel good at all. But, suppressed anger feels even less good.

Could it be that it isn't the anger itself that you perceive as feeling good, but the release of it?

In my Rebirthing training, I was taught that suppressed anger eats away at a person from the inside, and must eventually come out. (Science backs this up: A single moment of anger releases toxins in the body which suppresses the immune system for something like 12 hours. Chinese medicine says that anger is stored in the liver. Chronic anger can cause liver problems. Conversely, liver problems can cause anger. It works both ways. Ra also mentioned what anger can do in the body.)

We were taught to allow the person to access their anger (through breathing techniques) and express it in a harmless way (by hitting a pillow, screaming, crying, punching a punching bag, etc.) and then, once it has been expressed, replace it with positive affirmations.

This had the effect of reprogramming the cells, which store negative emotions. Those emotions must first be accessed, before they can be transmuted.

This has a positive effect on the immune system. It also clears chakra blockages and gets the energy moving.
