We all know the feeling.
When the body is still, but the monkey mind won’t stop moving.

It plans, it worries, it asks endless questions.
Even in silence, it hums.

I carried that hum for years — even as a monk.
Until one day, I learned that stillness isn’t something you create.
It’s something you remember.

This month’s — Peace in the Chest — is about that remembering.
About the moment restlessness stops being your enemy
and starts becoming your teacher.

If your mind feels restless lately,
if you can’t seem to find peace no matter how hard you try —
this one’s for you.
