Amma has said (paraphrased) that when we feel angry, to ask ourselves

where it's coming from.

Namaste,

Here are somethings that I have heard/read:

1) Amma told one devotee with an anger problem to buy an Amma doll

and either beat it up or to throw it. It turned out that after

getting an Amma doll, the devotee could only hug it.

2) Peace Pilgrim told a couple who quarreled a lot, to take a rapid

walk around the block in opposite directions. Each time they met they

would continue walking until the anger subsided. Then they would walk

home together hand in hand.

3) Again from P.P. ~ remember that the person abusing you is actually

hurting inside and crying out for love. If possible say your mantra,

try to stay in your heart and feel Amma's( and your ) compassion for

that person. Try to feel the silence inside and not to react. Perhaps

easier said than done, but worth trying.

4) Whether it is anger, fear or some other human emotion, feel where

it is coming from( as Amma said ) and try to bring it into the

silence.

5) Crying out very intensely to Mother should bring some result.

 

Hope this helps. Perhaps others can add to this.

Praying for Amma's Blessings to give all of us Inner Strenght,
