Talk on Anger, Worry and Breathing

Haseeta Jain is a former school student of mine from my teaching days. With a couple of friends, she has been gathering senior lady members of Arya Samaj and other communties, Nairobi, once a month for a social meeting at one of their houses. Since most of them do not drive, Haseeta and her friends ferry them to and fro from their houses to the venues. The idea is for them to come out of the home atmosphere, socialize with others and listen to a speaker on various topics on self-growth.

With this in mind Haseeta had invited me on 23rd October to give them a talk on Anger Management. As my friend Pratima Dutt and I arrived for this event in Bhavini’s home in Parklands, 15 ladies between the ages of 40 – 80 years were already seated, ready for the talk.

I started with asking if there was anybody who didn’t get angry? The answer of course was no. They all admitted that they did lose it sometimes. We then spoke about why we get angry, how we are not able to control what happens outside us, but we can control what happens inside us, that is our emotions, and how anger makes us ill. I also touched upon another debilitating habit: worry, and its devastating effect on our health. I then spent 15 minutes explaining about the importance of breathing correctly which will help in letting go and not getting angry or worrying. I gave an introduction to Pranaayama and breathing and demonstrated using hand mudras to expand our lungs. They followed suite and reported feeling calmer and more relaxed.

Questions of when to do pranayama, how often to do it were next. This was followed by a sumptuous lunch.

Thank you Haseeta, for inviting me, and thank you Pratima for your company and for taking out the pictures and videos.
