In today's yoga nidra session, the 
discussion leading to the practice had 
to do with anger. 

I was trying to verbalize what anger 
was for me, but the idea kept 
floating in my mind during the practice. 

Anger is self-harm. This is where my 
reflection landed. There is no way 
to have anger without self-harm. 

Next time you decide to be angry, 
changer the word to self harm. 

Because this person insult me,
I will do self-harm. Because I
didn't get what I wanted, I
will do self-harm. 

Not only does anger is self harm, 
it transform and harms other around us. 

There is tremendous power in emotions.
We should be clear about which 
emotions are harmful, and work 
toward not cultivating them. 

When I get angry, my mind finds a
good reason why I should be angry. 
I have the right to be angry, and
therefore I will be angry and show
the other person how wrong they were. 

Anger in my culture is justifiable. 
Movies are made to justify anger. 
It's a good anger, which give the
power to the hero to defeat the bad guy. 
Anger is not only justifiable, it's wanted. 
I want to have a good reason to be 
angry, so that it could give purpose
to my life. I would have a goal, to resolve
my anger with violence and reach a state
of pure joy and freedom. 

Anger is sold to us as a mean 
to a goal. You need anger to get
you going. Without anger your life
has no meaning. 

Prove me wrong, but nothing good
comes out of anger. 

Anger is self-harm.
