Meditation - the quiet way to deal with anger

The feeling of anger arises, most naturally when provoked. Your system goes into overdrive and - BAM -there comes an unexpected outcome that leaves you in a heightened state of arousal. The situation has passed but you are left hanging. Your palms are sweaty, your heart racing and the entire room smells like the aftermath of a bad decision.

Anger is the expressed reaction when a person is at their wits' end. A helpless, attacked and hurt person uses anger as a defence mechanism, as an immediate response. The mixed underlying emotions not giving you the split second required to compose yourself and act accordingly.
