Hangry (Part 2)
Part 2 contains the contemplative practice for this week's two-part episode. This episode is called “Hangry” and is intended to focus on the deeper, under-the-surface reasons for some of the afflictive emotions we experience in day-to-day life. “Hangry” is a play-on-words that speaks to a state of being. It’s a combination of the words “Hungry” and “Angry” and is used in reference to someone who is displaying an emotion of anger that is related to the other reality… that they are hungry. This kind of correlation might be more common than we might recognize at first – an experience of an emotion that is actually related to something entirely separate from the immediate context – frustration at home is actually coming from stress at work, a tendency to withdraw is more related to a need for stimulation far more than it is related to the people who are experiencing withdrawal from someone they care about.
Inevitably, our emotions are connected to our needs – and whether we are experiencing those needs as either satisfied or unsatisfied. Even deeper still, the experience of unmet needs is often related to a woundedness in our soul – a wound that is the result of our own attempts to understand or justify why we are experiencing unmet needs in the first place. The practice in this session attempts to follow the Spirit with care and patience into these deeper places of our internal world. Under the guidance of the Spirit, we seek awareness so that we can experience healing and freedom.
If you haven’t listened to Part 1 for this week, we recommend listening as an introduction in preparation for this deep-dive into inward awareness.
