"We are a performance based society. We measure things in likes, salary, time, duration, looks, followers - we judge everything, we measure everything. What I like to remind people is that meditation is not a performance based activity." - Rebecca Pacheco

Rebecca is the author of the brand new book out today Still Life: The Myths and Magic of Mindful Living.

She is also the author of Do Your Om Thing, which was named one of the “top ten yoga and meditation books every yogi needs” by Yoga Journal.

Previously, she founded and wrote the popular blog Om Gal. She’s the creator of the Runner’s World Yoga Center as well as videos for Women’s Health. She frequently contributes to the Boston Globe.

In today's episode, we talk about her brand new book Still Life.

Plus, 

- what meditation does for your life - how to stop judging your thoughts and how to observe them instead - how you won't lose your edge with a meditation practice - and so much more
