I Have Empathy For Others.
When things in life become too painful to feel, we tend to shut down a part of our heart to survive. In this place of protection we disconnect from our natural, empathetic nature. Betrayal experiences throughout a life often diminish our ability to trust our heart to anyone. Has your emotional pain created an inability to feel others? Or has someone been directing a heart-less energy toward you? Cow brings the reminder to do unto others as you would have them do unto you and to remember to tread gently on vulnerable hearts, especially those of children.
The demanding boss and tyrannical leader disregard that trust and heart-centered productivity are best attained through kindness rather than dominance. The classroom bully navigates through anger, force and fear to control others. Those who are afraid to speak up align with the bully to stay out of the line of attack. The bully uses cruelty as a way to assure personal power.
Cow’s inward gazing eyes emanate divine clarity and purity. Humans with the purest windows to the soul often become targets for those who lack empathy. Living by the Golden Rule ensures you won’t have to go through the painful boomerang of karmic debris from moments you lacked empathy. Bring tenderness back into your heart and embody gentleness with your loved-ones. Let the holiness of cow bring you closer to the power of empathy.

Research narcissistic and codependent relationships. These trauma patterns are a vibrational match to one another and contribute to predator/prey behavior.
Take a day of silence. If that is not doable, take a shorter amount of time in silence or take a silent walk in nature.
Did someone use anger to shut down your inner-child creativity when you were younger? Journal around any tyrannical treatment you experienced.
Exercise!
Alcohol and anger go hand-in-hand. We are all in the process of healing massive amounts of lineage alcohol trauma. Seek holistic help if this is contributing to anger in your life. Remember that alcohol can bring in the negative spirits.
Anger is always protecting unresolved, deep wounds. What have you stuffed inside that is a source of pain?
Do you have a defensive shield that pushes people away? Contemplate if you were picked on by someone consistently while growing up.
Internalizing anger projections can lead to unhealthy and self-destructive behaviors like binge eating, bulimia, shop-lifting, etc. Find a talk therapist to help identify this pattern.
Notice if you struggle to look someone in the eyes. This may indicate that they are abusing their power or energetically taking too much.
Are you being bullied by someone, or were you bullied in the past? Does someone intentionally hurt you? Journal around childhood bullying memories and how it shows up in your current life.
Contemplate if you feel better being told what to do rather than being independent. Look for patterns of ownership versus love in your past relationships.
