THE FIRE WITHIN: MEDITATIONS ON ANGER, POWER, AND PURPOSE
Welcome to "The Fire Within: Meditations on Anger, Power, and Purpose"
In a world that often tells us to "just let go," "The Fire Within" challenges the conventional wisdom about anger. This isn't a series about suppressing or escaping your feelings. Instead, it is a guided journey to sit with your anger, to understand it, and to transform its intense energy from a destructive force into a potent catalyst for growth. Over seven episodes, you will learn to listen to what your anger is truly telling you, to reclaim your power from reactivity, and to forge a path forward with courage and clarity. This is a series for those ready to confront the uncomfortable truth of their emotions and emerge with an unshakable inner strength.
This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Fire Within: Meditations on Anger, Power, and Purpose," episodes 3353-3359.
