Summary
Continuing our work with the Third Chakra, today's insight is about channeling your life force, or zest, into positive action. Unaddressed anger can be a powerful but destructive energy. When you feel anger, it's often a sign of a boundary crossed or an unmet need. Spiritually, this is an opportunity to assert your will in a healthy way. Psychologically, studies show that channeling intense emotion into productive, goal-oriented activities (like creative work or exercise) can lead to a state of flow, reducing rumination and increasing feelings of accomplishment.
WELCOME TO THIS WEEK'S SERIES:
THE UNCONDITIONAL HEART: TURNING ANGER INTO POSITIVE ENERGY
This series is your guide to transforming the energy of anger into something powerful and positive. We'll explore spiritual insights and practices rooted in the chakra system, a concept in Eastern traditions that describes energetic centers in the body. We'll move from the core of your power to the wellspring of your creativity, culminating in the limitless compassion of your heart.
This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, "The Unconditional Heart: Turning Anger into Positive Energy," episodes 3360-3369.
YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Acts of Compassion Quest:
For the next seven days, practice one small act of self-compassion and one act of gratitude each day. This could be as simple as acknowledging your own humanity when you make a mistake and consciously listing one thing you are thankful for.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 3,360 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to day two of this week's series. |
| 0:16.4 | This week is a continuation of a series I shared with you last week. |
| 0:23.6 | And in last week's series, I heard from many of you letting me know that you'd like an extension of managing anger. |
| 0:34.0 | So in last week's series, you can go back and take a listen to that. |
| 0:40.3 | This was a series where I shared with you a lot of science and research about how you can begin |
| 0:48.2 | to rewire your brain to manage anger in a better way. |
| 0:54.1 | This week, I thought that I would share with you more experience where you are focusing more on feeling, love, gratitude, compassion. |
| 1:09.3 | These feelings you can cultivate that can help to soothe your anger |
| 1:17.4 | so that these feelings become more prominent than anger. |
| 1:25.3 | So in today's episode, I'll guide you with today's featured meditation technique, |
| 1:32.3 | and that is an affirmation. I always encourage you to repeat an affirmation as you start your day |
| 1:41.4 | and as you end your day. |
| 1:46.2 | And a little about the affirmation I want to share with you is that this is an affirmation |

| 2:06.6 | The affirmation is, I give thanks to this present moment. |
| 2:14.0 | I give thanks to this present moment. |
| 2:18.3 | And when you begin to tune into the present moment, very consciously doing this, you begin to open |
| 2:31.3 | your heart. |
| 2:32.3 | You can't help but do so. Emotions that are so powerful, such as anger, |
| 2:40.2 | grief, a sense of hopelessness, despair, these emotions are usually rooted in the past, |
| 2:58.2 | where you're thinking of regrets or experiences from the past that trigger anger or these more difficult emotions. |
| 3:05.6 | Also, these emotions such as anger and despair and anxiety are future-based. |
