After ducks get into heated conflict, they flap their wings vigorously to shake it off. It helps them release the stress related to the incident.

Human beings don’t really have a built-in response like that.

That’s why it’s important to do something to process the energy and heat associated with anger, so that you don’t hold on to it and carry it with you.

Here are 3 Kundalini meditations to release anger:

Sitali breath

Stick your tongue out and curl it into a “U” if you can.
Inhale through the mouth (through the curled tongue, or through the open mouth with the tongue sticking out).
Exhale out of the nose.
Close your eyes and continue for 3 minutes.

Fists of anger

Bring your thumb tip to touch your palm under your pinkie. Wrap your fingers around the thumb into fists.
Raise your arms above your head and begin to move them backwards, alternating one arm at a time, like you’re swimming backstroke.
Breathe in and out through an O-shaped mouth. Find a rhythm for your breath in sync with the movement.
Think of things that make you angry as you move and breathe powerfully. Close your eyes and continue for 3 minutes.

To finish: Interlace the fingers and inhale deeply as you stretch your arms up overhead, palms facing up. Suspend the breath. Exhale and repeat two more times.

Meditation to release inner anger

This meditation has two parts. You can shorten the timings for both as long as you do so proportionately.

Part one:

Make fists with your hands.
“Punch” the space between the hands so that the forearms cross at the level of the chest. As they cross, chant Har from the navel point. Har is the creative power of the universe. You can use Tantric Har to keep you on track.
Close your eyes and continue for 7 minutes.

To finish: Inhale deeply and squeeze your body tightly with the hands and arms like iron rods in front of your chest. Hold for 10 to 15 seconds, then exhale. Repeat this two more times.

Part two:

Sit up straight.
Bring your hands to the heart, one on top of the other.
Close your eyes and breathe in and out. Feel the energy you’ve just stirred up and find the calm within that for 8 minutes.
