I’m not happy to confess it but
I felt like this today.
![Page 3: Ease your rage](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081419/58ef858c1a28aba3668b463b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
And I drove to work looking like this.

Rage grew inside me. It didn’t feel nice and it didn’t look pretty.

Sometimes rage is all consuming but sometimes…

it can be tamed (just a little).

Pranayama: Yogic breathing techniques that can be used
to calm the mind and cool the heat.

An effective calming pranayama is called Shitali.
(This is an easy name to remember because you do it to help you stop
feeling like shit)

First, make the tongue like a taco*
* Cats can do this too
![Page 10: Ease your rage](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081419/58ef858c1a28aba3668b463b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Next, breathe in through your tongue – like it’s a straw. Make the breath slow and
deep.

Then take the tongue back inside the mouth, close the mouth and exhale
smoothly through the nose.

If you can’t curl your tongue, close your teeth and breathe in through the sides of your mouth.
Exhale through the nose.

This calming pranayama brings you more into your parasympathetic nervous
system.

When you’re stressed, dwelling in the sympathetic nervous system then your body releases cortisol.
![Page 15: Ease your rage](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081419/58ef858c1a28aba3668b463b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Too much of this cortisol ain’t good for you.

So be pro-active for the sake of your health…breathe.
Shitali.
