Anger - the Secret Killer & How to Control it

Anger is an emotion that if left unmanaged or free to manifest itself in your life, will in one way or shorten your natural life.

Anger raises one blood pressure, causes endocrine hormones to flow freely through one's system at time when they are unwanted, and changes our outlook in life to a straight negative.

Anger is the secret killer in our lives.

The Emotion of Anger

Anger is a dark cousin of the emotion fear, and is the most powerful emotion we posses, save that of love. Anger gives birth to the perception of hate, and feeds the emotion of revenge.

It changes someone's state to that approaching the beast, and when left unbridled, poisons our thinking process.

Anger needs no explanation, as we all feel it daily. How we manage it however is the secret to not only removing its influence upon us, but perhaps opening doors to success that were previously closed.

Anger Management

As anger must compete with logic, and often given time logic will win the competition, the age old advice to count to 10 before reacting in anger has great merit.

While counting (called a cooling off period) logic and even love have a chance to manifest themselves before one's conscious and even subconscious mind, and anger becomes diluted to the state where it can do little or no damage. This is the essence of anger management.

Along with time, anger is diluted almost to nothing, by simple breathing exercises.

See the exercise cited below, and after some moments of correct and profound breathing, our bodies and mind become filled with a sort of positive energy that dilutes anger to the point of disappearing.

However, if anger is allowed to mature, proliferate in our consciousness, hate soon appears, and our natural positive outlook and polite essence will become a dark and negative aspect in our existence.

Disease and error soon follow, and we become vulnerable to all negative influences. We do not manage, but become managed, by our anger and by those who know how to exploit angry people.

Breathe and Count

When very angry, for whatever reason, try to withdraw yourself from society for a few minutes, and go into private. When private (and this just may be in a bathroom or closet) try this breathing and counting exercise. It will take you a maximum of 5 minutes.

Start by deep breathing in a double inhalation and follow it by a double exhalation. Breathe in one short breath and follow it by a longer breath without exhalation. The sound would be huf, huuuuf.

Hold for a brief second and exhale also doubly as ho,hooooh. Do ten sets of these and then relax. Close your eyes and then breathe deeply so you follow the incoming air down into the lowest part of your lung.

Now imagine, while counting to 5, that air is golden white, like the sun, and it fills every cell in your body with light.

As you now deeply exhale (to the count of five) see the outgoing air black and smoking filled the emotions of anger and hate, and as they leave your body, they fly out to the universe to be recharged as positive energy and light.

After five minutes, rejoin society, and you will find your anger is gone , and logic has taken its place.

Instead of argument and exciting, you might discuss the matter calmly, and watch for a peaceful solution to appear. This is way of the ancients and has been passed down since time before time.
