Few days back I had an outburst of anger within myself. Even though I realized that there was no particular reason for getting angry, I still was overtaken by the emotion of anger. This made me wonder about the source from where this anger originated. In order to get over this state, I walked into my meditation room and started meditating. After meditating and working though the anger I became calm and eventually eradicated the feeling. After that incident there were many more such small encounters with anger but it vanished even before I realized it. My quest for finding the source of anger continues till date. We can definitely control and master anger and, though it may be difficult and may take some time, we will surely find a lasting and satisfying solution.
Some of the DHC techniques help.....
I face the same situtations . There is something or the other at work that would get me angry.What helps me is to get in an objective mode as this is happening or after this has happened.I try to reason it out objectively why I am in this situation, and the answer is always the same......."Whatever that is happening outside with you is nothing but reflection of what is inside of you".This thought itself clams me down. So then the root cause of this are the karmic patterns in my Aura from this life/past life that get me in to a situation where I get angry or agitated.The best part about understanding all this is that I can do something about it (more than just thinking objectively about this). I have been embraced with the techniques taught at DHC.I use them and intensity of these situations keep reducing..... leading to increase in my happiness....
The purpose of the techniques is to make us stronger inside out
The source of the anger is within us. The situations one sees outside, as you said, are reflections of one's Mind and Aura. An Aura which is created through our Karma - actions committed in thought, word and deed up until the present moment.
Not only do the techniques heal our circumstances, they also make us stronger to handle any new unpleasant situation that comes our way for our own Karmic education.
Sometime back, I used to use a technique of green, red and yellow to monitor the state of my mind. If I was calm, I would rate myself as green. If I was on the verge of getting angry or stressed I would rate myself yellow. When I was in anger or stress I would rate myself red. I rated myself a few times a day and made sure that as soon as I got into a yellow zone, I applied the techniques and brought myself back to the green zone.
This approach was very effective in training me to remain in my zone of calmness and return back to it very soon after getting into the zone of anger and stress!
