If I meditate, I believe my students learn to play the piano better.
Sound like unrelated events, right?
Here's the thing.
When I meditate, I become more focused. I'm calmer. I'm able to get more done throughout the day.
When I can get more done throughout the day (and I don't just mean work, but anything that requires my focus), it allows me to give my students my undivided focus.
And, I'm able to problem-solve with my students in a clearer, more efficient fashion.
I become a better teacher, and my students benefit.
Makes meditation, something most people "don't have time for," sound pretty essential.
Doesn't it?
Like ripples in a pond, our actions affect everything.
The question is, are we picking the right ones?
