One of the things that I learned was a different way of dealing with negative emotions. Entanglement, greed, lust, envy, anger and anxiety.
The idea is that when we were born, we did not have any of these feelings. And so each time we experience any of these negative emotions, all we have to do is submit to it. By submitting to it, I don't mean we give in to the emotion but acknowledge it and, with all humility, give it back to the angel who played upon us that negative emotion. It is not mine, so I am giving it back.
It is, for me, a new perspective in looking at these emotions which, I have to admit, I experience and nurture often.
Next time, I feel anxious or angry, I will try to hold on a bit to that feeling, feel its solid weight in my heart and give it back to the heavens. It is not mine.
