We don’t indulge our child when they are about to touch a hot fire; we sim- ply cut through the situation with a compassionate “No.” Mindfulness is the key to working with our anger. If we aren’t aware that we’re angry, we’re acting on automatic, mindlessly perpetuat- ing harmful cycles of confusion. We have to recognize that we are angry. So mindfulness meditation is the profound key, or the ground, for effectively transforming difficult emotions. The act of recognition is like waking up within our anger, which immedi- ately begins to transform it. But then we need to sit with that feeling of anger and join it with our awareness as we breathe. We’re not rejecting it, but we’re also not letting it complete- ly take us over. We just courageously remain with it, breathing in and breathing out. Slowing our breathing down, we can calm the anger even as we remain aware of what it feels like, and where we’re feeling it in our bodies. We cradle it with loving- kindness simply by sitting with it, and as we do that we come back to ourselves.

Our knee-jerk reac- tion may have been to feel victimized, for example, but from this new and cooler perspective we may see a more accurate, less personalized version of the story. From this, we’ll know better what to do and what not to do, and in this way we can start to shift our un- helpful habitual responses and lead a more wakeful and compassionate life. It’s natural to feel angry about injus- tice and harm. With respect for our anger and the courage to look directly at it, letting go of aggression, we can use its energy for the benefit of others and our world. © 2019 Patricia Ullman ———————- You can read more about mindful- ness meditation and related topics in Eight Steps to an Authentic Life: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times by Patricia Ullman, available on amazon.com, and articles and blog postings on her website: www.PeaceOfOurMinds.org

Anger And The Four Compassionate Activities ...continued from page 13
realities of constant change. From that openness our actions can be precise and appropriate for the situation, rather than just being stale, safe, and inside our familiar conceptual box. This is what compassion means. It’s the ultimate kindness, far beyond just being “nice.” Finally, the fourth karma is the com- passionate activity of destroying, or
cutting, that which is harmful. In an abusive relationship, we may at first give someone the benefit of the doubt, hoping they can change. But at some point, staying with that person be- comes harmful and enabling, which is based on confusion and fear of change. Even a poisoned nest can be prefer- able to the unknown space of the open sky. So, like all compassionate activi-
