Words of Wisdom for October 17, 2025

On your very next breath, slow down the exhale, and soften into the pause at the base of the breath cycle before breathing in again. You’ll probably feel an immediate shift in both physical energy and the quality of your attention. Though we often practice the mindfulness instructions to observe the breath without altering it, working intentionally with the breath is absolutely part of our practice lineage. Through the breath we have a direct connection to our nervous system, and often much more ability to diminish a hindrance or process a difficult emotion than through bare awareness alone.
