Negative energy.

[tiedye]

How do you get rid of it when there's just too much built up inside of you? Especially when it starts affecting your interactions with people.

[MC Hammered]

Go work out, go for a run, go do some yoga... do something physical and burn it up and sweat it out of your pores.

I like rawb's idea best, but I think I'm going to give yoga a shot.

[robyn]

for $40 i will teach you the theory of dependent arising, which was taught to me by a buddhist nun. we both credit it with stopping us from punching people in the sternum all the time.

[robyn]

you could just google it for free but buddha got to get paid, son

[wishbone]

remove the sources of negative energy. it in itself will dissipate over time.

Can you come up with something to stop you from punching people in the throat, next?

[GSG9]

deffinitely. whenever there is negative energy, attack it at the source.

I used to have a lot more of a grip on pratityasumupada. I learnt a lot about it through Thich Nhat Hanh's writings.

Hasn't happened to me specifically, just word around town is that you're a big throat, kidney and ear puncher, and letting up on the sternum attacks isn't enough to make you Mother Theresa.

[Grapes]

Still, baby steps.

built up inside you?...

blocking it out, burying it and masking it could make it worse.

it is in a persons darkest hour which tends to yield the greatest amount of growth.

every situation,feeling and emotion that happens are meant to teach us something in some way. try to understand the reasons you feel the way you do and how those feelings got there and most importantly the LESSONS that they hold once you trace the source and correct.

your physical state is just as important. lots of good oxygen and water can work MIRACLES on your psyce!

I've only read half of it. I lost my copy somewhere. The Heart of the Buddha's Teachings is a must-have for anyone interested in Buddhist philosophy and practice.

[Revolver]

oh, and do your best to get your endorphins pumpin anyway you can through exercise,achievement, music, anything you enjoy

[tiedye]

I'm going to start yoga and, despite my disdain for public pools, start swimming laps and hitting up the sauna. Cutting out negative nutriments is the first step though.

[ebbomega]

turn off any excess noise, sit in a comfortable position, and just start paying attention to your body.

If you're hungry, eat. Thirsty, drink. Restless, walk. anything like that.

Eventually your mind will peel away the layers and you'll discover what's really bugging you.

You don't need to use yoga, but it is an effective way of doing just that.
