If you ten to be confused and anxieoux most of the time , meditation wont get you that far , rather try to get yourself or covince your friend that has rage "problems" to get himself into a contact sport , that will help him release a lot of he's pressure .I used to be a verry impulsive young boy and until my eighteen years old i used to break a lot of furniture (and my own hand bones in the process lowl ) and at the age of nineteen my father decide that i am "too expensive" when i'm in rage so he put me into KickBoxing , and ever since i had never had a outrage on my furniture , we are best buds now lol. Cheers

For some people it works for some it just aint working. Maybe there are different ways to control anger with different personalities.But what matters is that you will try somehow if its effective to you, now if its not then try other means. But if it is effective then your pretty much lucky because theres a way for you to control your angel somehow ;)

There are some people who get angry for simple things and yes meditation doesnt work for everyone but i have felt the results after meditating your mind becomes clean and your able to think clearly.

I had not been meditating for long days now. However, I can tell that it does make me feel like repressing my anger and vanish it ahead. It make me feel light and happy.

ahhhh....so I think that the effects of meditation are truly endless with perhaps some are still unknown. Meditation relaxes, the body is resting, remove toxins and all the tensions, stregthens the immune system, all the emotions calm down,we can say goodbye to worries, anxietes, and fears. Moreover, it reduce much stress..which now is essential..

I must admit I should learn how to control my anger because its very difficult to relax every time I'm at my peak.I usually say things i don't mean and do things i should not be doing.Getting relax is really one of my difficulty.I really think i should be consulting a professional in handling anger management.

Some time ago I had incredible results with tai-chi and meditation. I'll do it again, just waiting an opportunity to re-start it seriously.I think it's worthwhile getting involved with Buddhist communities, you can learn a good deal. But some of them are better than others. Some Buddhists just hang out together as a social exercise, and aren't actually interested in doing the work.

i've been using meditation to help me sleep. i don't think it'll work when you're already angry though. i don't see it working like that. the best thing to do if you're angry is to just let it out.
