A Guided Practice for Transforming Anger

Day 11: Learn and experience compassionate abiding, a practice developed by Pema Chödrön and Dale Asrael, breathing in feelings of anger and hatred directly into your heart while breathing out into openness and space, cultivating wisdom while releasing the urge to harm.

The Wisdom Within Us brings together a curated selection of wisdom and practices from Lion’s Roar member workshops. If a teacher mentions other sessions in their video, they are referring to their complete workshop series, available to Lion’s Roar members.

Reflections

  • How was this practice for you?
  • What shifted for you while doing the compassionate abiding practice?
