practice
"Witness your anger with a gentle awareness, allowing it to rise and transform into clarity, rather than expressing or suppressing it."
According to Osho, neither express nor suppress anger; bring passively alert witnessing to it. In the beginning, a small, gentle effort is needed—use it only as a starter—then relax the doer. Stay non-tense, like a cloud floating, and simply watch. This magnetic passivity draws the anger-energy upward, transforming it into awareness, rather than outward (expression) or inward (suppression).
When anger comes, don’t act or push it down—softly relax and watch it like a floating cloud until it settles and turns into calm.
