Anger Release

This is a way of releasing rage and anger in a safe and meditative way.

It can be done alone or with your partner, if there is anger or stagnation in your relationship.

It is helpful to do it every day for 10 days to really open your energy.

The Process

With a partner:

1. Kneel opposite each other with a large, thick pillow (or a stack of pillows) each in front of you.

2. Look into each other’s eyes.

3. Clasp your two hands together, without your fingers being interlocked.

4. Simultaneously start beating the pillows. Release all your anger and rage on the pillow. Allow yourself to shout, make noise etc. Be as total as possible, give yourself permission to let it all out.

5. Continue beating the pillows until your anger is spent.

6. Sit quietly, meditating, observing without judgement, the thoughts, feelings and emotions flowing out of you. Just allow them to be. Do this for about the same amount of time as you were beating the pillows.

7. Embrace each other. You may also like to share any insights you received.

By yourself:

1. Kneel with a large, thick pillow (or a stack of pillows) in front of you.

2. Clasp your two hands together, without your fingers being interlocked.

3. Start beating the pillows. Release all your anger and rage on the pillow. Allow yourself to shout, make noise etc. Be as total as possible, give yourself permission to let it all out.

4. Continue beating the pillows until your anger is spent.

5. Sit quietly, meditating, observing without judgement, the thoughts, feelings and emotions flowing out of you. Just allow them to be. Do this for about the same amount of time as you were beating the pillows.

Take care when doing this not to injure yourself, especially from hitting the floor with your hands and straining your back or shoulders.
