How You Can Release Anger by Tapping On the Gallbladder Meridian Point
Feeling angry and ready to burst? Find out how you can release anger safely by just tapping on a meridian point with your finger tips…
We already know that it is not healthy to hold on to anger, but what if it is just hard to let it go?
Although we try to keep cool, we feel simmering anger on the inside. It is unjustified anger that we are feeling. We believe that we are right and that we have every right to feel the way we do. The more we try to keep it in, the worse it gets. Until we can’t contain it anymore. The problem is that when rage finally takes over, we lose clarity and we are unable to act rationally.
As it is often said…
Anger doesn’t solve anything. It builds nothing but it can destroy everything.
We may just end up hurting the relationships we have with our loved ones. After which, we have to spend time and attention to repairing the damage caused by our outbursts. Once the red-hot rush is over, we may even regret some of our reactions. Worn down, we feel depleted by all the drama that we have introduced.
Well, let’s be aware that there are better ways of responding when we are being triggered.
What if we are able to respond with a lot more calm, acceptance and patience instead of feeling defensive?
What if we can override our usual reactions to the same triggers?
Wouldn’t it be great to achieve our desired outcomes with much less anger?
In no way am I suggesting that we don’t acknowledge that we are feeling upset. It doesn’t help to bury or suppress our anger. Doing so can result in blockages that affect our health in the long run. The great news is that it is possible to release anger safely, effectively and quickly via tapping on specific meridian points on our face and body using our finger tips.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver and gallbladder meridian point is linked to anger and fear. In this article, I’d like to bring attention to the gallbladder meridian point which can be accessed by tapping on the side of the eye (refer to the featured image) using the finger tips.
How Anger is Related to the Gallbladder Meridian Point
As we are already aware, the primary function of the gallbladder is to control the flow of bile. Bile is needed to aid digestion by breaking down fats. What I’d like to highlight is that the gallbladder meridian referred to in TCM is not synonymous with the anatomical organ. One is referring to an energetic pathway, while the other is referring to a physical organ.
Restoring energy flow clears any block that is present and resets our health back to its optimal state. According to TCM, the gallbladder meridian runs from the eyes, along the side of the head, down the side of the neck, through the body and then ends on the 4th toes. Because of its location, blocks in the Gallbladder meridian often play a part in the metaphysical cause behind headaches, jaw tension, shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain, and foot pain.
The gallbladder affects the health of our muscles and connective tissue. It represents the decision maker, being the organ that is linked to courage, judgment, and decision-making. When the gallbladder is deficient, er experience timidity, poor self-image and a lack of courage. A lack of courage is not necessarily a form of cowardice; instead, it is about not being forthcoming about feelings and opinions.
The gallbladder acts as a pivot, holding the hesitation between courage and fear. It also governs the sense of being easily startled and a general feeling of panic when it comes to decision-making. On the other hand, when the gallbladder is in balance, it creates space for deliberation.
Decisions made with a strong gallbladder are clear, decisive and focused. Thus, we are able to respond with a lot more clarity and strength — instead of reacting in anger and fear.
Tap to Release Anger Safely
To release anger, tap on the side of the eye 7–8 times during a EFT tapping sequence. A tapping sequence consists of a series of meridian points. Note that we may need to access more than just the gallbladder meridian to release anger, rage and fear of decision making.
As mentioned, according to TCM, anger is also known to be also stored in the liver. A stagnation of liver energy can manifests in mood swings or manic-depressive states. Furthermore, we could be dealing with more than just anger for a presenting situation. We could be feeling worry or hurt at the same time too.
Anger brings down our vibrational state. Releasing anger frees us from the shackles of our own prison. From feeling free, our willingness to practice forgiveness opens. If we’d like to restore harmony, acceptance, courage and strength, learning how to release anger safely is a must.
