One of the best ways to manage anger is to quickly diffuse it before it erupts out of control. By focusing on loving-kindness, you begin to feel more in control of your emotions. In today's episode, you'll explore a chakra meditation technique to help you release anger.   I think most people agree that the world needs more loving-kindness. This week, take part in the ancient tradition of Ahimsa, or non-violence, from Pantanjali's Yoga Sutras. Discover how harmful thoughts are considered to be as violent as physical violence. This is part of a collection of meditation series focused on sending more peace and love into the world. You'll release negative thoughts and cultivate a calmer, kinder approach to the problems in the world today.   Join us in part 5 of this week's Loving-Kindness series.
