Frank Diaz on Music, Mindfulness, and Embracing Uncertainty

So within the change, there's good or bad. And you know, it takes quite a bit of practice and a little bit of pain too to deal with this. I think he said that the good news, the bad news, is that we're falling through the air, but the good news is that there's no ground to crash into.
Imagine finding calm in the chaos through the power of music and mindfulness. In this episode of 'Wolf In Tune', Richard 'Wolfie' Wolf sits down with Frank Diaz, a Zen Buddhist teacher and professor at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. Frank is also the Founder and Director of the Institute for Mindfulness-Based Wellness and Pedagogy.
They dive into the unique bond between music and meditation, exploring how these practices can help us navigate life's uncertainties and pressures, especially in times like a pandemic. Frank shares his thoughts on measuring mindfulness using the MAAS test and delves into the cognitive processes involved in meditation. Ever wondered how musicians handle perfectionism? Frank sheds light on this, offering practical advice on staying mindful amidst competing responsibilities.
With his blend of academic insight and Zen wisdom, Frank's perspective is both enlightening and practical. Whether you're a musician seeking balance or someone curious about mindfulness, this episode offers valuable takeaways for all.
