Clearing Anger

When there is anger in the body it can be likened to putting your foot on the accelerator and burning tyres. You don’t move anywhere, but you burn up heaps of energy. It is extremely destructive to yourself and everyone around you when you are in the grip of anger.
It is said that the parietal lobes of the brain have become stimulated since birth. When we were born the frontal lobes at the front of the brain were activated. We could look and not name things, we could observe. We were aware of how our mother felt because there was not seperation, we were aware of noises. We listened, we felt, touched, tasted and saw. The five senses operated well because there was no thinking to block or distract them.
The frontal lobes of the brain have become inactive. Nobody listens attentively anymore to nature or even to each other unless you find a way to attract their attention away from their thoughts. Thinking has become an obsession. Thoughts have become dominant and the human subservient to those thoughts. How often do we say, “I need some space to think.”. What we need is a quiet mind, a mind that is still. We need peace.
Now there is an urgency to wake up! To notice what you are thinking about because these are the thoughts that produced the situation you find yourself in right now. As Buddha says the thoughts of yesterday produce your circumstances today and your thoughts today produce your tomorrows.
Now is the time to become more aware, to let go the stress from your day, so take a moment to breathe and see the sky. Look up now and take a breath.
Now is the time to take your power back from the Lower Mind and you can only do that by noticing that you have been lost in it!
Take a tip – don’t believe a word your Lower Mind tells you. This is the first step to enlightenment. (The second is reading my book.)
