How can we transform disturbing emotions, such as anger, into love?

Answer 1

People don't know the answer because they don't understand 'forgiving'. They typically think that forgiving is for the other person. When it is not. It's for the person with the anger. And so their expectations is all in the actions of the person who the person is forgiving.

That is not why people are to be forgiven.

I forgive people because I do not want to carry the grudge. It is therefore for me. I hope the person that I am forgiving takes the news well, but they might not, they might throw it back in my face. So I forgive with no expectations as to how it's received. My heart has better things to do than to try to use forgiving to manipulate other people.

Answer 3

When you become angry with someone, it's probably because they've hurt your feelings. The best way to get through these feelings of anger is to just let go and forgive. Harboring anger doesn't do you or the person that you're angry at any good.. It's a waste of energy! Decide for yourself, do I need to talk this out with the person and let them know that they've hurt my feelings or can I just let it go and remember that they're a person too and they may not have known what they've done? When you let go of anger, it doesn't have to be about letting the other person "get away" with anything... It can be just for the healing of your own heart and to allow yourself to move on and devote energy to positive things. That's how we love *ourselves*! When you can love yourself and take care of yourself in a positive way, the love can and will overflow.

Loving yourself is the most beautiful thing you can do for the people around you.

answer to this question takes learning roots of those emotions. what causes anger? go on - find out with your heart what causes your anger in every particular case. when you see and understand the reason, you can eliminate or avoid it. with no cause, anger will not bloom. same works for any other emotion. when all negatives are gone, only love remains.

this path is no easy one, yet i can tell from experience that it can be walked to the end. many people achieved this peace in the past and likely many will do so in the future. perhaps you are one of them, since you seek this answer. good luck to you.

Answer 5

Anger is just a secondary emotion. You need to evaluate why you were angered in the first place, be it frustration, fear, hurt or insecurity. Acknowledge that you were angered. Back track to the real emotion (hurt, frustration, etc.). Consider the cause of the perceived emotion - who or what. Make up your mind to respond differently. Sometimes just doing the right thing will cause the right feelings to follow.

Answer 6

Ive found that developing the language to be able to accurately describe what it is Im feeling is very important in being able to overcome whatever disturbing emotions Im feeling. I dont necessarily even have to communicate it to someone, I may simply need to be able to process mentally what Im feeling and why it is Im feeling that way. Simply gaining that awareness can be enough to lift the emotions and love is what remains.

Books have been a very important tool in developing this language.

Answer 7

Psychologically, it is impossible! each one of our emotions serve a specific purpose and can not be transformed into another.

However, you can remove the stimuli which cause those unwanted emotions. If something makes you mad, stay away from it. If it is a parent, then you can not do that, so you ahve to channel that anger into something CONSTRUCTIVE not destructive. Like cleaning house, washing the car, building something. And if you do it for someone else, you feel better even faster!

Good luck!

Answer 8

We cannot.

But God can. Only God has the power to REPLACE the ashes with beauty.

We can, however "use" negative emotions for drive and motivation to propell us into doing "positive" things. But in our own power and strength, we cannot eliminate those emotions. Again, only God can erase old things, and make all things become new.

Answer 9

It needs a lot of practise to transform an emotion..it has to do with our minds..u cannot transform it just in a split moment..
Try to talk with a counsellor..i am not expert in this field.

No pain no gain.

Answer 10

It is impossible for us to do it; it would merely be a work of the flesh, and certainly not a real and lasting change. Only God can do this work in a person.
Anger does have its place...we are told to be angry, but sin not. Righteous idignation. Even within that, we can still love.
