Find out if you are the cause, sometimes with need to love ourselves a little more and enjoy all the gifts the nature gives us, such as the stars, moon, the air that we breathe. Love yourself before you start loving others. Smile more often my child!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Dear Jessica, Anger is a result of feeling you have lost something. Yoga and meditation take you out of the personality into the infinite which allows you to understand that your " loss " is a perception and that in the infinite, you have not lost, but gained everything. When practicing yoga and/or meditation, it brings you into the present moment. Moment by moment. Here you can feel at ease. Good luck. This is a wonderful site and if you practice, you will benefit.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I would try Meditations on the Heart ie: Heart Chakra Openers When the heart is open it is impossible for anger to co-exist. Check out the website for Heart meditations/Postures ...etc hope that helps and you find some peace. darryl > Hello I am new to the group but I was hoping to get some > help on an issues. > > I have been have problems with my temper, and stress the > past few months.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hi Jessica, In an article on treating OCD and other anxiety disorders, David Shanahoff-Khalsa gives the following exercise for managing anger: " Sit with a straight spine, and close the eyes. Simply chant out loud " Jeeo, Jeeo, Jeeo, Jeeo " continuously and rapidly for 11 min without stopping (pronounced like the names for the letters G and O). During continuous chanting, you do not stop to take long breaths, but you do continue with just enough short breaths to keep the sound going. Eleven minutes is both the minimum and maximum time for this technique. This technique is useful even for a " red hot " angry mind, and the effects can last up to 3 days, depending on the severity of the anger. Practicing twice a day or more is acceptable for the most severe states. " David's web site is www.theinternetyogi.com; you can find the link to this article on the page where one can also order his OCD treatment video. Although his study was done on people with OCD, many of the exercises would be good for anyone with stress and anxiety, so you might want to look at the article for the other meditations. I tried this technique when I was really mad about something, and afterwards I was too limp to be angry. <gg> I hope this helps. Take care and have a wonderful happy day, Sat Darshan Kaur :-) Kundaliniyoga , " jessica " <lildarkpixie21 wrote: > > Hello I am new to the group but I was hoping to get some help on an > issues. > > I have been have problems with my temper, and stress the past few months. > It was recommended to me to try yoga and meditation but i am not > really sure how to get started and are these common things that help > with anger? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Dear people Perhaps this is something for you: http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/418B9NRVNKL._SS500_.jpg [http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/418B9NRVNKL._SS500_.jpg] I hate mantras chanting. Better is creative expression of anger to transform the energy into love.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Dealing with temper and anger is much simpler than all this! Rage is another thing. Rage comes from a deeper inner rebellion against all the nonsense we integrated about who we are. Anger and temper just need to be accepted. By this I mean to notice once the temper as surface: " Oh! I am angry right now! " And to accept that instead of fighting it. it is the fighting of our experience of anger that creates escalation, not the acceptance of it. Opening the heart at first brings a lot of anger! It is healthy! Healthy! Healthy! Please don't make anger a bad thing. What's not helpful is to act or react according to the experience of anger. Once you accept the experience you are going through you can feel what's beneath the anger: fear and beneath the fear: hurt. Then deeply experience the hurt. It is about being patient with self.
