Still Life: The Myths and Magic of Mindful Living

In this book from renowned yogi meditation teacher Rebecca Pacheco, learn how to dig deeper into the practice of mindfulness and clarify some of the common misconceptions around this life-changing practice. Pacheco seeks to demystify this sometimes obscure and esoteric practice, offering readers simple and pragmatic steps toward incorporating mindfulness into their daily life. Furthermore, she aims to steer readers away from the common myth that mindfulness is some kind of emotional and mental cure-all, and strip away the incessant and excessive positivity that can often surround mindfulness in today's discourse. Rather than being a practice that relies on cultivating an endlessly optimistic outlook, Pacheco insists that a truly effective approach to mindfulness involves a willingness to examine uncomfortable and challenging emotions. An excellent introduction to mindfulness, especially for the cynical and hesitant reader.
