After recently watching this video, I did an experiment today. When a felt a bout of anger arise, I took the time to do what you said Matt, and right enough, "it" was all around my head, throat and shoulders. Amazing to think I have never had the inclination to inquire into this before. And yes, simply by being aware of it and allowing it, it gradually dissipated. Thank you so much.
What a superb explanation.... AWESOME. Dear Sir, I have a question. When practicing mindfulness, I cannot understand which thought is arising involuntarily, And which one I am thinking voluntarily. Such a confused state inside. How to distinguish ? Please guide.
This may require a video to explain! :-) I'll try here with words first, though. I believe the most helpful, practical answer is that you can practice noticing how involuntary thoughts and apparently voluntary thoughts can both be seen or listened to with 3rd-person objectivity. This is very clear with thoughts that seem to arise out of nowhere. You can just watch them or listen to them like they're a movie. You can actually do the same with thoughts that appear to be voluntary. If you use your inner voice for mental noting (which is a skillful practice by the way) you can notice how once the inner voice has started you can actually listen to it at the same time it appears "you" are speaking it. Practicing in this way, you develop the wisdom that all thoughts are objects and not you or something that belongs to you. They just happen. This leads to the ultimate freedom - freedom from thought. On a deeper level, you'll eventually notice that all thoughts are actually involuntary in a sense. Because the real you is not the one thinking. That's just a brain. The real you is what is aware of thoughts happening.

But what if you're the enabler without knowing?
It’s to simple for me. Seems more how to deal with frustrations than self judgement
I could be wrong thou
Krishnamurti says "You are the anger". Then there is nothing to do.
This guy is a narcissist
