When someone acts out, when they yell or conduct themselves with arrogance or are purposefully hurtful, it is usually because they are hurting in some way, whether they will admit it or not.

[Monday Message] Resisting change
Why do we so often find ourselves resisting change? The third chakra, which sits at the solar plexus, is the lower mental body.
