Glad you asked, warren. Stress is an instinctive response, analogous to the swelling of flesh in response to injury. The pipe experience -- including but not limited to Nicotiana absorption -- quells that process, and allows me to look at the stressful events not as impediments, but opportunities, e.g. "How can I improve this situation to my advantage and that of the Heavens?"
I refer to stress often as "choking up on the bat." Not that I play baseball, or understand it in any way, but I remember this being a sign of a nervous player who was too focused on being nervous to focus on the ball. $0.02, as usual, and you probably should ask for that in pesos or euros.

Good for you.
The baseball analogy needs a bit of correction. The batter chokes up on the bat to gain more control of the bat. So, in a way, a misunderstood but, properly applied analogy. He cokes up to gain more control, much as you use the pipe for the same.

I was called a "punk" and "freak" but really am just a guy...and at 43 have become pretty mellow.
I remember seeing young guys outfit themselves from a mall store called Hot topic and thinking "in my day, we would have been horrified by a mall store.....Damn, I'm old"
Hipsters are just people and every generation has something(s) that seem odd to us old folks.
Still don't understand a man wearing skinny jeans though. Just disturbing...

Maybe I have the wrong terminology. The batter clenches the bat too tight, and too high up, to get the even swing he needs (if he had confidence). Not sure what that is called.
Choking up gives more control of the bat head and coupled with feet placement allows the batter to direct the ball a bit better as opposed to gripping down at the knob and swinging for the fences.
Okay guys said another way, one should grip the bat at the knob for power and choke up from the knob when going for control.
Have fun!
