HEART INTELLIGENCE FOR MUSICIANS
By Paulina Derbez, M. Mus. + HeartMath Certified® Mentor
“It is within the wisdom of our hearts that we can truly connect with the power of music” Derbez, 2021
“It is amazing how life can change in just a few weeks. I can’t thank Paulina enough for wonderfully guiding me through life-changing techniques.”
– Lisa Horvat
“My mental, physical and spiritual state have all benefited so greatly from Paulina’s guidance in the HeartMath technique.”
– Frank Horvat
In today’s world, music undergraduate students and professors are overloaded with activities such as exams, concerts, auditions, personal practice and so forth. This can lead to different levels of stress. Over time, this stress can have an impact on student performance and on teacher instruction. All of this can take us far away from the true meaning of making music.
When I discovered the power that lies within the intelligence of our hearts and started to apply it, I was blown away by its positive impact on my performance and teaching. I discovered that, for example, performance anxiety does not come from an anxious mindset but from our hearts. If our hearts are incoherent, caused by a depleting emotion like stress, this will cause incoherence in our brain and tension in our physical and emotional performance. On the other hand, if we apply different coherence techniques to our hearts, we will be creating heart coherence and brain coherence. This will without a doubt result in a more powerful and meaningful performance.
As a teacher, I know how demanding teaching schedules can be. We go from one class to another and sometimes we feel overwhelmed by the curriculum that our students have to cover. This can create depleting emotions that can affect our teaching abilities and our own health. Applying different coherence techniques will not only give us the emotional balance we need for each class but will also have an impact on our student’s development.
