Buddhist Wisdom on using Anger to Protect Ourselves & Others from Harm

Dear Friends,

If we are enraged by listening to the news during this challenging season, we can use our mindfulness practice to turn toward our rage and make good use of it in order to protect the most vulnerable and oppressed.

In addition to serving the common good, using our anger in this way releases the stuckness that we often feel when anger builds up inside of us.

I want to offer you a video excerpt that addresses anger from the Block, Build, Be workshop that I co-led with Katie Loncke at Circle Yoga last month. I talk about how to use the energy of our anger to block harmful actions, rather than venting it or letting it become a painful resentment eating away at us from the inside.

The video and short write-up has been published here in Elephant Journal. Would you help me reach more people by reading and — if you're inspired — liking and sharing?

Also, once you're there, please don't forget to follow me on Elephant Journal!

with love,
annie.
