What were you taught about anger? Certainly lots of bad things have happened when people are angry. A so-called crime of passion is usually a very poor choice that happens in the heat of anger. But is it the anger that's the culprit or something else? Fact is, no one is able to avoid being angry and we all must learn how to manage and express our anger in ways that are not harmful to others or ourselves. In fact, it can be quite the opposite of harmful. Expressing anger appropriately can be very productive.

We've spent a lot of time on Exploracast talking about the growing need for better communication and understanding between people, especially if we are to productively face the challenges of our time. As we've discussed this need, we also encounter so many challenges to making it happen. One seems to be the idea that everyone has their own "truth". What do people mean when they use the phrase "my truth"? Are they trying to convey actual facts, share their experience, or stonewall against other ideas?

It is a long-held idea with many groups and cultures that there are places in this world of power. Often, these are the places we go when we need to make a better connection with that deeper part of life but also places of renewal and heightened self-awareness. Are these places powerful inherently or are they assigned the moniker because we need them or both? Either way, we ask where are your power places and do you need to make a visit?
