How can meditation stave off my anger?

The Astrological Reading: Arjun, born in the holy city of Varanasi at sunrise, you have a powerful Sun, but your Mars influence is very high, leading to a "Short Fuse." Your anger is like a flash flood—it comes quickly and leaves destruction in its wake. Your relationships suffer because your "Reaction Time" is zero. The Detailed Solution: Meditation creates a "Gap" between the trigger and the reaction. Right now, someone says something, and you explode. With "Mindfulness for Patience," you learn to notice the heat rising in your chest before you open your mouth. Practice "Sitali Pranayama" (The Cooling Breath): curl your tongue into a tube and inhale through it. This physically cools the "pitta" (fire) in your body. Meditation provides the ability to "stop for a moment" because you become the observer of the anger rather than the anger itself. The Remedy: Solution: Drink water from a silver glass to cool your internal temperament. Action: Donate white sweets on Mondays to pacify the emotional Moon. Mantra: Chant "Om Shanti Shanti Shanti" while visualizing cool moonbeams hitting your forehead.
