The undefeated University of Connecticut women’s basketball team cruised into the Final Four last week with a 21-point win over Texas.

The game, played days after a 60-point thrashing of Mississippi State, was by far their closest in this year’s NCAA tournament.

With the win, UConn advances to face Oregon State in this weekend’s Final Four, their ninth consecutive appearance, where they will play for a trip to the NCAA championship game for the fourth year in a row.

This type of dominance is almost unheard of in sports. And earlier this week, sportswriter Dan Shaughnessy suggested in a tweet that UConn’s dominance is bad for women’s college basketball.

What’s UConn’s magic formula?  A few key threads consistent across all of the program’s successful seasons: focus, attention to detail, and unselfishness.

Mindfulness practitioners will realize that they are also cornerstones of meditation practice, leading people to fuller and more enriching lives.

A large body of research shows that meditation changes brain functioning in ways that improve focus, sharpen attention to detail, and promote empathy and altruism.

By enhancing these traits and deepening their spiritual lives, more and more meditators are quietly having their own unheard-of successes.
