Okay, so after having a day to think about my last post, I have to add a few things.
First of all, I have been using this type of energy to heal myself and was probably too trigger-happy about recommending its use on others. It works for me - it can trigger massive energy releases and has been very helpful. But if others' energy fields are inherently more resonant with peaceful approaches, and especially if they are not fire-type people already, they may not react well to it. If you're going to try to do this to heal someone, ask their higher self for intuitive guidance and talk it over with their physical self, too. Transmuted anger is violent, destructive energy, which means it could change things in their body and mind fast. It's not gentle at all. If someone isn't ready to bear major tumult in their chakras as part of the healing, don't bother with it. This is for people who want huge gobs of stuck energy and solidified thought forms ripped to shreds, burnt to a crisp, or wrenched out of them with force. Don't expose someone to that without permission. It's not what most people have in mind for a healing.
Bear in mind too that violent energy isn't a universal tool. When working on myself, I think it's great to use wrathful approaches to pulverize stuck energy, slash through negative thoughtforms and cords of attachment, and forcibly wrench out or punch holes in the energetic "plate armor" I've formed in my field, especially around the heart. But the other elements are needed for balance, and like I said, not everyone wants raging fire to be the method by which these things are dealt with.
Also, I would never build up the initial energy by, say, thinking about how much someone made me mad or how angry I am about this or that particular thing. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. You wouldn't be able to clean the hatred out of that and it would not be healing if you sent it into someone. The source of my energy when I choose to use wrathful power is a reservoir of generalized, non-focused anger which is just there in me without a discernible reason. So when I summon it up, it doesn't really have the characteristic of hatred, which is directed at someone or something and bears real malevolence, but it is pure explosive force.
I must say, it's pretty amazing how powerful raw fire is. I love it. It just grinds and shreds countless internal obstacles. If you have the raw combustive power already in you to draw upon, I say use it - unleash its total violence on whatever sets you back internally. But don't think I'm talking about using hatred to do the job. Stars don't hate when they go supernova, right? It's just raw power.
Also, one can distill from anger a more gentle fire energy from than I've suggested. Possibly a better way to do things, ESPECIALLY bearing in mind I'm probably a rarity in terms of my affinity for wrathfulness, would be to summon the wrathful power, then when it is sufficiently strong, lighten up your grip on it with the intent for it to become a peaceful type of energy. Get your storm on, build up wrath, then let go of the specific intention to stay connected to the anger circuit which is the source of it. Immediately become gentle, allow that psychological shift to automatically change the flavor and intensity of the energy, then let the peaceful energy spread. To do that is to turn a two-step process (build wrathful energy and then let it discharge with positive intent) into a three-step one (build wrathful energy, switch it to a peaceful form, then discharge it).
Basically, be discriminating. If you want to work with raw, violent fire-power, use it on yourself first to see what it's capable of. Get used to it, make sure you are aware of whether or not there is negative emotion inherently wrapped up with it, and see how much violence you are comfortable with in the imagery. You might not want warriors, in particular, to be part of it, because they may feel too negative. They could introduce the thought "I'm fighting a hated enemy" to the working, depending on your personal associations with the soldier image. When I allow warriors to surface in my visualizations, it's partially because I want to create a space for the karma attached to the soldier archetype to redeem itself, and this is so deep in me that it is a subtext I don't have to deliberately insert. If you don't personally have a desire to see the archetype of the violent soldier used for a redeemed purpose, think about not bringing them in. I have a strong sense of love for soldiers and a respect for their basic innocence, so I think that loving feeling inherently arises when I use warrior images and crowds out the possibility of hatred and fear perverting the work.
