An Inner Rhythms teaching session with Mariane Karou on using embodied practice to navigate anger without suppressing or amplifying it. Drawing from a vivid recent experience — an unexpected attack that arrived just before sleep — she walks through how she treated the anger as a signal: a boulder to move like water around, not a fire to put out or be swept away by.
The core teaching is that anger carries information, and your body will stay upset until what is needed is handled. By embracing the feeling and continuing to function — researching, staying present, letting the inner rhythms practice digest the emotion — the anger becomes fuel rather than flood. The whole Dance Alive system is named in the process: Fish (feeling), Inner Rhythms (observing), Ride the Wave (moving), Chiesa Now (the interface with the outer world).
