My best
habits are practicing meditation with regulated breathing, and self-analysis,
combined with caring actions and ethical living. This allows me to sit firmly
in a seat of harmony.
As we grow in understanding ourselves - what motivates our personal behavior -
we may choose to upgrade our habits. And in the process of growing, harmonious
actions and interactions more and more replace angry outbursts.
Meditation on the Breath
Sit comfortably, eyes closed, hands folded in lap.
Let's practice an even breathing technique to use if anger comes up later.
Regulated even breathing takes concentration, so it can distract from
escalating anger.
Practice counted breathing like this - mentally count 1, 2 as you breathe in;
count 3, 4 as you breathe out; count 1, 2 as you breathe in, and continue this
pattern as long as needed till your body feels calm and normal again.
Now just sit for 5 minutes or more practicing this even breathing pattern and
notice how your body feels rested and your thoughts calm down.
Finish your meditation with one deep breath, then stretch out and go forward
with this little emergency regulated breathing technique in mind, if needed. Click here for individual articles for kids: http://www.susankramer.com/stresskids.html
