When you get angry at a family member it may not feel very good for you to be in that state. I think you recognize, although some may not, that anger creates a great deal of emotional and physical stress on you.

Interestingly some individuals “think” that anger is somehow empowering and use it as a way to take charge of others and/or their environment. If this is you then I kindly ask you to look at how you feel during and after that angry state.

You will most definitely feel some or all of the following: guilt, tired, drained of your energy, foolish, out of control, weak, inadequate, like a victim and so on.

What impact if any does the angry state have on others around you? Well if they are in your presence your anger will be felt as emotionally abusive and hence will be traumatic to others. That makes you an abuser. You probably already knew this.

The story however goes much farther. In an article entitled “Some Evidence Of How We Are Spiritually Connected” I reported on a case study in which a new process called the Mind Resonance Process(TM) (MRP) was used to help heal two related individuals of a traumatic memory they had both experienced.

What was interesting, indeed, fascinating, about this study was that the second individual was healed “at a distance” and did not even know that the healing was going on. For more on this please read the article.

The important point that I wish to stress here is that individuals affect each other emotionally and physically at a distance by thoughts, feelings and memories that they carry about each other.

So if, for instance you are feeling angry towards someone, even if they are not physically present with you, they will be affected negatively by your anger. Not only that but the anger will be “processed” at an unconscious level by the other individual as a traumatic event.

What’s more, because you and they are “spiritually connected” in this way, as they are affected the effect will also “bounce back” to you. That is the negative effects of the anger that you “projected” onto them will bounce back at you just like light bounces off of a mirror.

In this light you will be doubly affected by your anger. In other words you will also be abusing yourself!

So is this all worth it? Well I’ll leave that for you to decide.

Having said that I also wish to point out that the opposite effect also takes place. If you send love to another person, you will be doubly (actually more than doubly) rewarded.

Try this out for yourself if you wish.

Insomnia is a common condition seen by family physicians. The usual short-term treatment for it is medication that involves hypnotics. These medications are habit-forming drugs and with long usage people can become dependent on them.

The problem can start for many reasons. In many people who work in shifts, the body rhythm is disturbed disturbing the normal sleep pattern. In many young mothers the sleep pattern gets disturbed waking intermittently at night to look after the baby’s needs. Caring for an old relative at night can also disturb the sleep pattern.

In almost all of these cases, the subconscious mind has got the message that sleep would put someone at risk. So in order to deal with this perceived ‘danger’, the mind goes into an alert state and does not allow the body to sleep. No amount of conscious logic or reason can convince the subconscious to let the body sleep. This increases physical tension.

In order for the body to rest, the tension has to be reduced. When the perceived fears are addressed, the body goes into a state if tiredness and then it is allowed to fall asleep. One of the exercises that I have suggested to my patients is this:
At bedtime, when you are going to sleep, sit in the bed. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath in and then through your nose push the breath out forcefully but slowly. Next, take a deep breath and this time breathe out slowly and easily through the nose. Continue breathing like this with alternate breaths till you start to fall asleep.

With simple sleep problems, this exercise works well.

The underlying reason for most of the sleep problems is fear. Fear of the future is the worry. If fear issues are addressed in counseling or psychotherapy, sleep can become better. The other reason of sleep problem is anger. Most of the people would be unaware that they are carrying anger in their bodies. They might feel that because they do not worry, sleep disturbance is simply a disturbance of the body rhythm.
In almost all such cases that I have seen, anger has been an underlying issue. Addressing the anger benefits sleep.

Sleep disturbance is commonly seen in anxiety, depression, psychosis and mania. Many psychiatric conditions start with disturbed sleep. It is important to take insomnia seriously. It is good to address the issue as soon as it starts than to let it build up and cause complications.
