- When I'm able to tap into my own practice and pause before reacting quickly I actually become more supportive to my students.
Résumé
How as a teacher does meditation help me?

00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.150
Oftentimes as a teacher I would find
2
00:00:02.175 --> 00:00:04.373
that I would get easily
triggered by behavior
3
00:00:04.398 --> 00:00:08.346
and would kind of instinctively react
to it telling a student to quiet down
4
00:00:08.371 --> 00:00:11.949
or stop moving and in a way that
might not really be very helpful.
5
00:00:12.124 --> 00:00:14.875
When I'm able to tap into
my own practice (of meditation)
6
00:00:14.899 --> 00:00:18.394
and pause before reacting quickly
7
00:00:18.604 --> 00:00:22.203
I might choose to let a few things
go and not say anything at all,
8
00:00:22.228 --> 00:00:23.523
or when I do say something
9
00:00:23.548 --> 00:00:26.391
I might say it in a way
that's much more supportive
10
00:00:26.566 --> 00:00:29.418
of helping that student actually
make a change in their own behavior.
11
00:00:29.443 --> 00:00:30.841
Because oftentimes they don't,
12
00:00:30.866 --> 00:00:33.486
they might not even have
control of what's happening.
13
00:00:33.511 --> 00:00:37.571
So I have found that
it's been very helpful for me
14
00:00:37.596 --> 00:00:41.405
to not necessarily react to things
as much when I'm triggered
15
00:00:41.430 --> 00:00:43.777
but maybe to respond in a way
that's actually more supportive
16
00:00:43.802 --> 00:00:45.023
of the students.
