Managing Anger Through Meditation

I have never really thought of myself as an angry person .I would always do whatever I could to try and help someone out, nor did I do anything that would hurt someones feelings, or I would try as hard as I could not to.  Every month we struggle to get by but I really didn’t complain.  I was just happy that we did have the money to pay our bills and have a place to live even though we barely had enough to survive on after paying the bills. Meditation is very much needed in most peoples lives, no doubt about that.

Even after all that I did not get angry.  That changed last week. I really had to meditate to myself when I went with my sister to the doctor last week.  My sister is a very hard worker.  She never misses work unless it is absolutely necessary. Last year my sister had become sick and finally after being so weak she went to the doctor. He put her in the hospital and gave her 4 bags of blood and said she had pneumonia.
I just couldn’t understand how do you lose blood by having pneumonia. As I meditated thinking about last year I was not prepared to hear what the doctor was going to say as my sister and I were driving to the doctor. You see my sister got sick again.  She nearly collapsed at work and was taken to the hospital. This time she needed 5 bags of blood.  She would keep telling me she was anemic.  After the hospital did a ct scan on her they said she needed to go to her lung doctor immediately.  That’s where my sister and I were going.

My sister never wants me to worry so she never told me anything and did not want me to go in the room with her when she went in to see the doctor. After I meditated on this I decided when they called her name I would go back with her,and that?s exactly what I did. The doctor came in and you could see immediately the concern on his face. He starting reading the results of her cat scan. He was reading something about her lungs.

He talked about something growing in her nodules and spreading to her lymph nodes.He wasn?t saying it was cancer but I knew by what he was reading it was. I didn’t want to scare my sister so meditating to myself while he was talking I asked what does all this mean? Instead of asking is it cancer I asked could it be cancer?

His response was yes mam. She has to go for a biopsy in a couple of days to see how far it has progressed.I really find myself angry at this point because she has never smoked a day in her life. And here she is 49 years old with lung cancer.So instead of worrying for the next couple of days and getting angry. I simply practice meditation by praying that god please heal my sister.

Can Meditation Make You More Happy?

There is only one way to achieve happiness. That way is to simply be happy. You are probably thinking right now how do i get to be happy.” “Things just don’t work like that, It doesn’t take into consideration the times that I am miserable because of problems or mishaps that come up in my everyday life,not to mention the tragedies.” At this point I have to stop and meditate.  Meditation can be done many different ways, just find the one that works best for your purposes.
Being happy much more of the time than you have been is an incredibly difficult task to accomplish-not in the doing of it once you know how and then in keeping aware of what you have discovered. Yet, I still say that with meditation you can do it. The path that you have chose that led you to your current situation was not a few days or months in the making, but a long and strenuous path that has spanned through many years.

In reality it has taken you as long as you have been alive to become the way you are today. It has also taken you that long to achieve what you have achieved, to possess,and to arrive at your current condition. By taking the time to meditate and think about who you are, and what you have in your life is truly what you want, If you are completely satisfied with the way your life is going,congratulations-do more of what you have been doing and you will get more of what you already have in your life.

But if who you are, what you want, what you have, and your current conditions are less than what you want or perhaps are different from what you want,you have to start meditating about some basic changes you will need to make in your life.Failure to make those changes will find you continuing to seek the things you really would like in your life as the years pass by.

Because some of this that you are reading will seem impossible, ridiculous, or to you maybe even foolish and it may at first offend you, causing you to ridicule what you are reading and maybe even cause you to reject what you have read.  I really want to suggest to you that before you may reject how meditation can help you through your life, ask yourself whether or not you want it to be true-then for your benefit please give yourself the chance to see it as true.

In this day and time with all the things we have to deal with in our lives it is very hard to stay on a positive level and be happy all the time.  But just taking a few minutes a day just meditating by yourself will help you keep things in perspective where instead of being unhappy about the situation you are in you can find a way to find the happy part of being unhappy.
