Meditation for Anger Management

According to a variety of studies, unleashing our anger (or “venting”) doesn’t relieve a bad temper and may even make it worse. 

Taking our anger out on other people - whether it be an employee, stranger or someone close to us - offers an opportunity to let off steam, but ultimately feeds our anger. 

However, constantly pushing down feelings of anger or letting ourselves ruminate on our negative feelings can be equally exhausting and unpleasant. 

When we are constantly irritated, we make poorer decisions and risk alienating others - especially if we are prone to inappropriate bursts of aggression. 

There are direct correlations between anger, unsustainably elevated heart rates and high blood pressure, as well as an overactive nervous system, even when at rest.

Anger is an instinctive, unconscious reaction and therefore very hard to control through conscious thought. 

Beeja meditation goes beyond our conscious mind and helps to unwind our anger effortlessly by calming the nervous system to a level not normally achieved, even in sleep

This precipitates the rebalance of all the body systems and the calming of the over-active “fight or flight” response.

We become more able to distinguish between non-threatening and threatening situations, finding that we are less threatened by life and as a result, becoming less hostile.

Our blood pressure starts to fall within normal levels, our heart rate steadies and we feel less edgy.

Our personal and working relationships will improve as a direct result of our greater empathy, compassion, awareness, and understanding.

If your anger is severe and you wish to pursue conventional treatment alongside meditation, Beeja meditation can make it far easier to engage with anger management therapy by diffusing our underlying stress.
