Anger: Meditation To Prevent Emotional Overwhelm (The STILL Technique)

Anger is a part of life. We can’t avoid it, but we can choose how to respond to it. The STILL Technique (Stop, Take a breath, Investigate, Listen, Learn) was developed by Chibs Okereke to help his clients deal with situations when they get emotionally triggered. It helps to turn off your fight or flight response and get your mind & body back into a calm and relaxed state. STILL can be used in the moment, in the midst of our anger, but you can also use it as a tool to reflect on a past situation.

Very helpful especially for emotional suppressed people like me who is now taken over finally by rage 55 years late thank you

Excellent helpful advice

This was very helpful and helped me process through some angry feelings that had been really effecting my overall energy and well-being.

Soothing, supportive voice. Practical, useful instruction.

I was triggered yestered by something said to me by a family member, comparing me in a negative way to another person. Characterising both of us as having a victim mentality. I didn't dare to defend myself because the ties between us are already tentative, but I felt ashamed and defensive. I wanted to say 'stop'; you've got me wrong. Look at my life; I'm a survivor! But I didn't and this morning the sense of injustice was still bubbling in the heart and throat chakras. Then this lesson popped up in IT suggestions for me. I know intellectually that defensive feelings go back to being falsely accused by my mother who exercised power over me, sometimes cruelly. The incident yesterday was benign by comparison but it stung. My takeaway from today's practice is that someone else's words cannot overpower me, even though the feeling is that someone ele's displeasure will deprive me of something important to me. Love, affection, validation, freedom. I once read in an article, If you are a target, be a target out of range.
Thank you for your good work 🙏🏻💞
