Summary

We’ve all heard how important it is to live in the moment. But, a lot of us know that’s easier said than done. We also know we should try to do it, but, we don’t know where to begin! So, what do we need to know about meditation and mindfulness?

We’ll explore that question on this episode as we talk with our guest, Rebecca Pacheco. She’s an international Yoga teacher, and author of the book Do Your Om Thing, which was named one of the “top ten yoga and meditation books” by Yoga Journal . Rebecca’s new book is called, "Still Life: The Myths and Magic of Mindful Living".

0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Laura Owens. And I'm Jan Black. We've all heard how important it is to live in the moment. But a lot of us know that that's a lot easier said than done.
0:22.2	We also know we should try to do it, but we don't even know where to begin.
0:26.3	So what do we need to know about meditation and mindfulness?
0:29.5	We'll explore that question on this episode as we talk with our guest, Rebecca Pachico.
0:34.4	She's an international yoga teacher and author of the book, Do Your Own Thing,
0:39.4	which was named one of the top 10 yoga and meditation books by Yoga Journal.
0:44.0	Rebecca's new book is called Still Life, the Myths and Magic of Mindful Living.

1:29.4	So it's a good story. The book proposal was just about complete. I want to say maybe it had even gone to my editor preliminarily,
1:36.1	and then I changed the title to still life. And when I thought of it, I knew that that was the right decision, despite the fact that I'd just written several chapters of a book that
1:41.1	was titled, entitled something else. And maybe you can relate to this, you know, Jan, particularly.
1:47.7	I know that you're a mom of Laura.
1:50.8	I'm unsure if you have children, but any mom can relate to this.
1:55.0	I was sitting with my husband and the house was a disaster.
