I want to learn about meditation
I'm considering it for Sanguis

Give me anger-management ideas if you have any
Something that isn't punching people

Thanks.

I'm really not an expert on meditation but I know of a good way to get rid of extra energy and calm your mind.

Have you tried dancing?

[saezuru]

[ Doumeki stares at this for a moment. He can't picture himself dancing, but then his imagination is pretty boring. ]

I can't dance. I don't have any rhythm.

There are breathing and mental exercises I can tell you about that I've recommended to some of my patients in the past, if you're interested?

Or even just talking about the source of your anger can sometimes help, whether that be purely due to the release from venting about them, or having a second opinion that can help you figure out why it's causing that anger to begin with. I know that Sanguis can be rough in particular with one's temper rising and falling at seemingly random moments, but it's still worth considering as well, I think.

[saezuru]

I am interested.

I'm just angry. At nothing in particular.

[ It's definitely something in particular.... ]

Controlled breathing exercises help me. Focus on breathing in and out slowly, it usually helps me at least keep my temper under control.

[saezuru]

What if I'm already angry and can't stop to take a breath?

How do I start

I meditate at least once a day if you'd like to join me.

[saezuru]

How do you do it?
I can't seem to relax enough

I can teach you. Meditation is one of the techniques I pass onto my students.

[saezuru]

You're a meditation teacher?

un: no

[terribletwos]

what's meditation/

[saezuru]

It's when you take deep breaths and clear your mind
Or sometimes it's listening to sounds of nature

If I knew more I wouldn't be asking

Accept that you have those feelings.
That is the best advice one can give to any strong emotion such as anger, or fear.
Once they have been accepted, it is easier to identify the things that make them come.

[saezuru]

[ This is actually very good advice that Doumeki will unfortunately ignore. ]

I don't want to do that

[ Because that's healthy. ]

What's the harm in punching people?

[saezuru]

[ ah....... ]

It makes them mad
They don't always deserve it

Couple it with exercise. Exhaustion.

[saezuru]

I tried jogging
But I ended up fighting with people I ran into

I was teaching yoga for a couple months here and it really only works if you meditate the entire time, which is totally pointless. You can't meditate for a week every month, and if you take a class you end up with stupid Becky people who won't shut the hell up anyway even though they're in a class about mindfulness.

[saezuru]

[ Ah, someone chatty. He actually appreciates that. ]

So you don't recommend yoga? It doesn't work?

How about punching things?

And while you're at it, why stop at punching?

[saezuru]

[ It was only a matter of time till someone spoke real sense... ]

Punching doesn't help
What do you mean?

[ It's sex, isn't it? It's gotta be sex. ]

god if you’ve gotten any good advice for this please pass it on

i went a little nuts and i would rather not have a repeat performance

[saezuru]

Yoga and meditation might work
Yoga classes only work during the class (maybe)
I have a teacher coming after Sanguis to help with meditating
One guy can make your emotions go away

Lots of options
Can't say if any of them work, though
Sanguis may just be like that
