Words of Wisdom for December 06, 2025

When the sensation of stress manifests, tension arises in my shoulders, in my neck, maybe in my face—perhaps my jawline is really tense, or my gaze becomes intense. Coming back to my body, I scan the different parts to see where there is tension. Sometimes the tension is in my breath. When I’m overwhelmed, my breathing can be very heavy. My chest may be tight. Listening to my body, I say to myself, ‘Oh, Phap Huu, your breathing’s really, really tight. Why is that? What feeling are you experiencing?’ And I gently allow myself to recognize the feeling; I call it by its name, I identify it.
