How Repressing Anger can affect your Health

The wise men tell us for every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness. And good health as well, if there’s resentment brewing within. One of those most toxic of all energies, repressed anger can lead to tense muscles, headaches, fatigue, hypertension, acidity and in later stages arthritis among other ailments. Resentment works as a slow poison into our system. Though our anger and bitterness may be directed at someone else the ill effects are felt by only us.

Anger is like any other emotion we feel, and it needs release. Constructively and non violently. Keep it in and the feelings are bound to pile up until we either explode on some inoccent person. Or we just fall ill. In order to bring harmony back into ourselves, it is vital that we must want to release the anger and return to our essential state of peace. Once our intention is clear, the conscious and peaceful release of anger periodically does show results, some of which are almost instantaneous.

Here are a few techniques that have been recommended by ancient gurus, alternative healing experts and psychologists which may help you release anger.
