From Anger to Creativity

These two imagery exercises can help the anger ignite the creative process: 

Exercise 1

• Close your eyes.
• Breathe out slowly three times.
• See the anger as an uprush of flames in front of your eyes.
• Breathe out twice and enter those flames.
• See and sense a rain shower from above dousing the flames.
• As the flames disappear, know that the anger has as well.
• Breathe out and open your eyes. Use whenever you experience anger. 

Exercise 2

• Close your eyes.
• Breathe out three times slowly.
• Sense and feel how anger constricts you.
• Breathe out one time slowly and begin expanding, seeing and releasing the constriction that has squeezed you.
