A contemporary mindfulness and wellness book by yoga teacher and meditation guide Rebecca Pacheco, offering a fresh, demystifying perspective on mindfulness practice that blends ancient insight with modern challenges.

Still Life: The Myths and Magic of Mindful Living explores what mindfulness truly is — and what it isn’t — bringing clarity to a practice often clouded by hype, misinformation, and “good vibes only” platitudes. Rebecca Pacheco draws on her experience as a meditation teacher and author of Do Your Om Thing to break down misconceptions about meditation, showing readers how to cultivate presence, attention, and emotional resilience without unrealistic expectations.

Pacheco explains that a mindful life is not simply a constant state of bliss, but rather a grounded and honest engagement with the full range of human experience. Through accessible guidance, real-world tools, and compassionate insight, Still Life helps readers reclaim the present moment, integrate mindfulness into everyday life, and approach meditation with curiosity rather than perfectionism.

“Brimming with personality, expert guidance, kindness, and revelatory insights — Still Life feels like an intimate and illuminating conversation with a trusted friend.” — Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice
