Exercise to be Rid of Internal Anger

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam!

 

I am delighted to have Shakta Kaur's book "Kundalini Yoga". However

I am not clear about one of the exercises on P128 To Be Rid of

Internal Anger.

 

The text describes the Fighting Pose

" Sit with a straight spine and bring your hands into tight fists

and begin to hit the space between than hands at the solar plexus

area the forearms will cross each other at the chest level. As they

cross powerfully chant Har. Keep up the striking motion with the

fists. HIt hard so the whole body reverberates."

 

I understand this to mean you are not actually hitting your body but

the air correct?

Yes you are correct, you don't have to beat yourself up : )! Strike the air

as powerfully as you can - imagine you are punching whatever it is that is

making you angry in the first place, imagine beating up anger itself, so

that it will leave you alone and peace will take its place.

 

Many blessings,

Sat Nam,

 

I prefer to do this exercise with the breath standing up with running in

place. So I guess that is a different exercise, but it is done for the same

reasons. You punch out. You are not hitting yourself.
