It lets us know when a limit of ours, or a boundary, has been crossed.\u201d But because of its power and volatility, anger can be a troubling emotion to be with and a difficult one to work with. Today\u2019s practice is aimed at gaining insight into our anger so that we can respond skillfully in any given situation. Jessica Morey is a meditation teacher and coach. She has been practicing meditation for almost three decades. She is also the co-founder and former executive director of Inward Bound Mindfulness Education, a nonprofit organization bringing in-depth mindfulness and compassion training to youth.
