Managing Anger Or Rage - Yoga Nidra Meditation
by Davina Ho
One emotion that many of us find difficult to express and manage is anger… some express anger outwardly… blowing up angrily at the slightest thing… while others, bottle it up… unable to express it they turn it inwards… and sometimes we hold onto anger… and continue to process it… it might simmer away for months or years… until it’s too much to hold and blows up… bottling up anger can drain us mentally, emotionally, and physically. The key is awareness… allowing anger to arise and noticing it without judging it as good or bad… anger can sometimes seem scary… or we might have judgments about it… that it’s not ok to feel anger… anger is a healthy and normal human emotion… after a wave of anger has passed we can usually move onwards… but if we hold onto anger or react disproportionately then we need to create some space before we can respond appropriately…
