Compassion, calmness and forgiveness act as healing balm for anger, pain and suffering that we feel in response to other peoples negative behaviour, says Brahmha Kumaris
Forgiveness and compassion are the healing balm for anger. We normally experience anger, pain or suffering in response to others negative behaviour.
Seven possible responses to feelings of hurt that you experience
Avenging:
where you want to inflict on the other the pain you have felt yourself, the cause of which you attribute to them.
Punishing:
where you wish to take the law into your own hands, even if only at a mental level.
Reforming:
where you wish to change another's personality and behaviour.
Forgiving:
where you want to do what you have probably been taught to believe is the right thing to do.
Forgetting:
where you want to drop the past at all levels and get on with your life.
Karming:
where you take responsibility for all your hurt as you understand that you receive the return today of your actions yesterday.
Enlightening:
where you realize that you were never hurt in the first place.
Exercise for anger management
Sit comfortably and relax. focus your attention on your breathing.let it find its own calm rhythm. Gently breathe in peacefulness and breathe out any negative feelings.
Allow your mind to slow down.do not judge your thoughts, acknowledge them and let them go.
Focus on your inner calm that is peaceful, where your inner compassion and forgiveness lies, here you are patient, tolerant, generous, these qualities make up your inner compassion.
Now raise your awareness beyond yourself, to a place of infinite peace, see it first as a small point of light slowly it becomes brighter, like an ocean of peace, love, compassion. You feel connected to part of that ocean of deep peace and love.
Now, slowly you move away from the ocean. You still have the memory of being loved and can reconnect at any time you want. Gradually become aware of your body.
