Aggressiveness: emotional and spiritual meaning

What aggressiveness is

Aggressiveness is a push of energy, most often from a frustration you lived in some experience. It can be a sharp word, a hard stance, or a wish to attack. It is different from a boundary said clearly. It becomes harmful when other people become the target of a pressure that was never spoken.

The reading below does not excuse harm. It looks at the defence, and at the weakness it is covering.

The emotional meaning of aggressiveness

The frustration is often unconscious. It can poison life so thoroughly that aggressiveness is chosen as the means of expression, a valve for the pressure inside. It is a way of defending yourself when you feel attacked, not respected, abused, tense, misunderstood. You want to be understood. Vitality drops. It is hard to stay open and let energy flow. The source says a person in this state cuts themselves off for a time, especially from openness of heart.

Striking so you will not feel small

It is an innate, instant, unthought reflex of defence and protection. You doubt your worth. You tend to devalue yourself in silence, telling yourself you are not up to it. You feel vulnerable. A danger seems to be waiting. Powerlessness leads you to attack the people you consider better or stronger. You may feel that someone is stopping you from being yourself. In fact, the source says, you are the one setting the barriers. If you are aggressive, you often feel like the strongest, because you decided to attack first. You enter a pattern of domination and submission, and you are torn inside.

The other person acts as a mirror. You project a part of yourself you still have to accept, and it stings. Excitement grows. Tension rises. Muscular contraction appears. You are stiff, on guard, ready to spring. You are on the defensive, and you are fighting your own anguish.

The entry points toward the nerves and toward low blood sugar, which is why this page is linked with the head and with blood sugar. The stiffness itself is in the muscles. A drop in sugar, if it is really happening, still needs a doctor. It is not only a mood.

A gentler way to hold it

The aim is not to shame the reflex, and not to aim it at someone else. The emotional perspective invites you to work on yourself first.

• Name the frustration. The valve is later than the pressure.
• Notice the silent self-attack. Devaluing yourself and then striking outward is the pair the source describes.
• See the mirror. The person who stings you is showing a part you have not accepted.
• Drop the hard image. Real power, in this reading, is being true, not looking tough.
• If sugar is crashing, treat that. Irritability with shaking or sweating is also a body event.
