In this episode, the social justice educator and activist Jacoby Ballard talks about a universal, or near universal, issue: anger. And, he offers us two mental skills that can help channel anger into something even more powerful and effective. Those skills are forgiveness and equanimity.
Ballard is a meditation and yoga teacher and the author of a new book called, A Queer Dharma: Yoga and Meditations for Liberation
Content Warnings: There are some brief references to sensitive topics, including trauma and suicide.
In this episode we talk about:
- How he went from an activist largely fueled by anger to a dharma teacher with a very different approach
- The sometimes useful role of anger in activism and the danger of being stuck in anger mode
- The subtle but powerful move of getting in touch with what is beneath our anger
- Using annoyance as a jumping off point for inner investigation
- Ways to work with anger and learning to discharge the energy in our body
- Forgiveness, including forgiving ourselves
- Getting over our need to be right
- Equanimity, or as Jacoby calls it, his “tussle with equanimity”
