Forcefully out

Take it in

Let it go

Breathe in for 3

Out

Sigh it out

Allow yourself to feel the emotion present

What makes you angry? What makes you upset

Take a deep breath in and cleansing sigh out

Release your frustrations

Imagine them dissolving

Visualize a glass jar that holds every frustration, every negative encounter, every disappointment that made you upset, and now take a deep breath in and imagine holding on to that glass jar and rising it up over your head, as you visualize take your arms up above you and as you exhale imagine slamming it down and watching it shatter into a million pieces, becoming dust.

Take another breath in and as you forcefully breathe out imagine blowing all of that dust away from you, like star dust going back out into the night sky

Dissolving, disappearing, releasing, letting go.

Feel into the emotion, and let it go

Feel the breath come in and squeeze every out.

Notice all the ways in which you hold on to things from your past, notice what emotions are present and take a clean sweeping breath in and consciously sigh it out, the more you become consciously present to what you are feeling, becoming aware of it, identifying the cause, and allowing yourself to let go the more you can intentionally release the anger present, even if it is still present.

Anger is often an unwanted emotion that can be felt in all areas of the body, a tight chest, a constricted throat, even signs of a headache, fatigue, and the feeling of being annoyed, restless, and irritated can all stem from the anger you carry with you.

Use your breath as a tool to release what is present. Actively and consciously sighing it out.

Breathing it in as you visualize it and forcefully exhaling.

Imagine your breath as water and the anger that has built up within is fire, each breath in fills the water up and each breath out disperses it on the flames, cooling the anger a bit at a time.

Continue to breathe in this way.

Knowing that anger can live in the body, it secretly stores itself away in the cells, in the tissues, and find a place to create tension and tightness, take a mental scan in your body and see if you can sense into these areas like a heat mat. Observing areas such as the hips, the shoulders, the neck, the back.

Breathe in through your nose, exhale quickly out your mouth.

Now breathe in through the nose, this time exhale out through the nose.

Again, breathing in through your nose – long slow inhale, forceful exhale out your mouth.

Once more in through your nose – quick forceful breath out the nose.

With every breath out allow your body to feel grounded in the space you occupy. Allow the shoulders to relax, the breath becomes more and more relaxed with each focus.

Whatever you are experiencing, let it rise to the surface, become present of your thoughts, with acceptance and surrender see if you can imagine it being released with each exhale. Even if the sensation, the feeling of anger is still present, it’s okay let yourself be as you are, knowing in time your energy will shift and your emotions will change. This too is temporary.

Find calmness beneath the storm. Whatever arises will arise.
