Have you ever meditated on anger? In this episode of Every Moment Is Sacred, Rain Elizabeth Stickney offers a guided meditation honoring anger. Feeling emotions prior to action allows for a conscious response rather than a reaction.

Especially during Thanksgiving week, anger can sneak up on us and show up at family gatherings or other festivities meant to be fun and joyful! What if there is a way to fully feel anger respectfully, without acting out destructively?

In this guided meditation, learn how to welcome anger as a sacred emotion. By inviting and fully feeling anger, we can transform it into a source of clarity and empowered action.
