Hello.
This meditation is for you to take a step toward the anger you're feeling.
Together,
We will move through your anger to discover what lies beneath,
Instead of backing away from it.
This time is for you.
Drop into this moment.
You can close your eyes if that feels okay,
And breathe in through your nose,
And sighing exhale.
Gently begin to deepen and lengthen your breath,
Settling into this moment.
Shift your awareness away from the mind,
And turn it inward.
Maybe to your heart,
Or your gut.
Breathe in,
Exhale.
Let it go.
Psychologists have found that anger is one of the most easily accessed emotions,
While the more vulnerable feelings of fear,
Hurt,
And pain are deeply held and not readily available.
Anger is our mind's attempt to protect us,
But it can also isolate us from not only those around us,
But from ourselves.
What might be beneath your anger now?
Is there another emotion present?
Brianna Weiss says,
Self-protection is learning how to take a pause between what you feel,
And how you react.
When there is no awareness between what you perceive,
And the way that you respond,
Anything can control you.
Practice the pause.
Widen the space between what you sense,
And what you do about it.
As you take a pause in this moment,
And slow down,
Can you dig deeper to the root of your anger?
Remember to breathe through what's coming up for you.
Deep breath in,
And exhale.
Let it go.
Begin to notice the subtle shift within you.
Maybe you feel lighter,
Less weighed down.
Breathe that feeling in,
And exhale,
Letting any remaining anger go.
Begin to come back to your body,
And as you move through the rest of your day,
Or week,
Remember to practice the pause,
Whenever you feel anger bubbling up inside you again.
Simply come back to your breath,
And move through those feelings,
To what lies beneath.
Take one more deep breath in,
And sigh it out.
Blinking open your eyes,
If they were closed.
With love and light.
