COSMIC SWIMMER

At its core, aggression is an intense form of energy. It arises from our primal instincts, which are often linked to survival, self-preservation, and boundary-setting.

This energy, while potent, can feel overwhelming when it lacks direction or when it conflicts with societal expectations.

Many of us are taught from an early age to suppress aggressive impulses, labeling them as undesirable, dangerous, or morally wrong.

However, this suppression often leads to internal tension, resentment, or even self-destructive behaviors.

The key to transforming aggression lies in reframing it not as a problem to be eradicated, but as an energy to be understood and redirected.

Aggression can emerge in various forms: anger, frustration, assertiveness, or even a subtle undercurrent of resistance.

Rather than denying its presence, we must first recognize it as a signal.

When we feel aggression, it is often an indication that something within us is out of alignment—a need is unmet, a boundary is crossed, or a desire is thwarted.

By pausing to listen to what this energy is communicating, we create space for transformation.

Authenticity is the foundation of this alchemical process. To channel aggression into something constructive, we must be willing to confront and embrace the parts of ourselves we often hide or reject. Aggression, when viewed through the lens of authenticity, becomes a portal to our deepest truths. It can reveal what we care about, what we stand for, and where we feel most vulnerable. By owning these truths, we begin to align with our inner self rather than conforming to external expectations.

When we suppress aggression, we also suppress the voice of our authentic self. This disconnection can lead to feelings of emptiness or discontent. However, when we approach aggression with curiosity and self-compassion, it becomes an ally rather than an enemy. It shows us where we need to assert our boundaries, speak our truth, or take bold action. In this way, aggression becomes a guide toward living more authentically.
