Punch Some Sauerkraut: Working With Anger & Other Strong Emotions (A Talk & Guided Meditation)
When anger, tension, distress, and overwhelm feel… well… overwhelming… what happens next?
When we feel helpless, rather than empowered, by anger… what can we do and how do we work with any strong emotions?
In this talk and guided meditation, I offer encouraging quotes from social justice leader Valarie Kaur and teacher Lama Rod Owens, as well as practical recommendations that have worked for me.
For working with strong emotions, I break down both the RAIN practice (from Tara Brach) and the SNOELL practice (from Lama Rod Owens).
This audio recording is about 41 minutes long. It includes a short guided meditation which starts at 26:00 and ends at 35:00. The last 6 minutes are key takeaways.
