Whenever you are angry, just close your eyes and take ten deep breaths, follow this with the chant of shanti path.

Om dehi shantih antariksham, shantirprithvi, shantiraapa,

shantihi aushadhaya, shantirvanaspatayah, shantivishvavedah

shantibrahma, shanti saama, shantirshantiriva dehi shantiredhi

shanti sarvagyam shanti sarvagyam shanti sarvagyam

om dehi shanti shanti shantih om

Let there be peace in the universe, on earth, in waters, in herbs, in trees, in the eternal gyan of creation, in Brahma, Let there be peace in me and in everything. Let peace be everywhere.

But be warned concept of shanti will not be understood by people with asuric bent of mind. Practice of Sanatan Kriya ensures this balance comes in the body of even people of asuric vrittis.
