Although you may not always be able to avoid difficult situations, you can modify the extent to which you can suffer by how you choose to respond to the situation. ~ Dalai Lama If someone cuts you off while you are driving, how do you feel and how do you respond to them? For many people, there is an immediate feeling of anger and wanting to reciprocate. However, you could also totally surprise yourself by choosing to turn your annoyance into a trigger for expressing gratitude and love. This is the essence of the fourth chakra. By having the courage to connect with an intentional emotion and forgiveness, you will have a sense of compassion rather than aggravation. Rather than quickly spiraling into an emotional tug of war, it becomes an act of rising above the situation – the hallmark reflection of a humane person.
