Anger

 We have to be there for our anger, we have to recognize its presence and take good care of it. In psychotherapy this is called “getting in touch with our anger.”It is wonderful and very important. You have to recognize and embrace anger when it manifests instead of suppressing it.

But the important question here is who is the one getting in touch with, taking care of, and recognizing anger? Anger is an energy, and if that energy is overwhelming, you can be a victim of it. 

You should be able to generate another kind of energy that can recognize and take care of the anger. Anger is a zone of energy that needs to be touched, that needs to be recognized. 

The question is, what is touching what? What energy can do the touching and the recognizing? It is the en-ergy of mindfulness. So every time we get angry, we practice mindful breathing and mindful walking, in order to touch the seed of mindfulness and generate the energy of mindfulness in us.
