Stress Reduction at Work – Bill Scheinman Mindfulness

Meditation Is An Act of Caring August 6, 2023
There are many things you can say about what meditation is. A technique for clearing and calming the mind, a spiritual discipline, a method of stress reduction, a type of prayer, a way of coming into alignment with reality, to name just a few. One way of thinking about meditation that I’ve been contemplating recently […]
Practicing When You’re a Mess May 18, 2020
After the shelter in place orders came down in March, the committee inside my mind – composed of pretty rational, staid types – joined hands and collectively dove into an abyss. After having been a daily meditator for more than 25 years and having spent those years touting to others the power of mindfulness to […]
Beginning. Again. January 2, 2018
Mindfulness is a very forgiving practice. Whether we lose track of our thoughts during a meditation or forget to notice our body and breathing during our work day or completely fall out of the habit of practicing mindfulness altogether – in any moment, at any time, we can simply begin again. This is especially relevant […]
Acknowledgment December 26, 2017
Acknowledging how things are is a key to reducing stress. When we experience difficulties in our lives, so often our default mode is to say NO, NO, NO! to them. We decide that our difficulties shouldn’t be happening, look for someone to blame (often ourselves or people we dislike), and find any way we can […]
Single-Task: Tea Pot, Cup, Water Bottle November 24, 2017
I am in my apartment, cleaning up. I’m feeling rushed, so I lift my tea pot, my lacquered Japanese cup, and my water bottle from a table and begin taking them over to the kitchen sink for washing. Because I’m carrying three things I needed to thread the pinky of my right hand through the […]
Mindful Dental Cleaning October 28, 2017
I’m in the dentist’s chair for my semi-annual cleaning. The sound of the dental hygienist’s tool is loud as she moves it into my mouth to start in on my teeth. As the shrieking object is applied to my teeth, a sensation similar to hearing fingernails scratching a blackboard occurs. Then the hygienist moves her […]
Letting Go of Your Story September 14, 2017
We tell ourselves stories all the time about the way life is treating us or about the ways we plan on conquering life. Because we’ve been retelling versions of these stories for years, they are extremely compelling. We tend to believe our stories because they have become so familiar. Haven’t you noticed that? There is […]
5 Meditation Challenges August 10, 2017
If you were to do a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats analysis of your meditation practice, under “weaknesses” and “threats” you might include five basic challenges that every meditator has to deal with. In fact, failure to deal successfully with these five challenges often leads people to abandon their meditation practice entirely, never to meditate […]
The Breath: Our Unsung Ally July 27, 2017
Perhaps the most fundamental fact of our aliveness is that from the moment of our birth to the moment of our death, we are breathing. Yet strangely enough, we routinely take the breath for granted and forget about it. Our attention instead is gripped by our to-do lists, our racing thoughts of gain and loss, […]
The Importance of Truth In An Age of Alternative Facts June 30, 2017
Since the presidential election, it seems as though the very idea of truth is under assault. In an ever more volatile and uncertain world, many people choose to live in media bubbles that reflect their biases and the mental habits that keep them in their comfort zones. Resisting complexity, many curate their realities by focusing […]

What Students Are Saying

“I had no idea what a life-changing event Bill’s class would be for me. I was looking for some help enduring the exhaustion, frustrations, and anxieties of being a single parent. But it was so much more than that. The experience of Bill’s gentle, non-judgmental coaching was truly a gift for me.” Molly Brown

What Students Are Saying

“This class is awesome! I had been wanting to get more balance in my life and take the mystery out of meditation. The group environment was fantastic and Bill was such a great leader. He created a non judgmental, kind environment. I actually took the class twice and have had friends take the class as well. If you have been wanting to get centered or learn to not let a busy mind stress you out, this is definitely a great class. It was very practical and I am able to use what I learned in real life.” Kelly C.

“I just finished the 8 week class in San Francisco. The experience has been nothing short of life changing for me, and I now have a daily meditation practice. Bill and Allison were wonderful, patient teachers. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in bringing mindfulness to his or her life.” Dana J.
