Samuel Kirschner

I have spent twenty years as a body/mind therapist and a meditation teacher, speaker, and author. In the 1980s, I facilitated The New York Healing Circle, which helped thousands of people with HIV live with a sense of peace and self-acceptance. I am trained in body-centered psychotherapy, and in the Zen tradition and the Vipassana style of meditation, as well as in MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction - by Jon Kabat Zinn). I have been teaching Living in the Present / Dynamic Mindfulness Meditation through individual and couple sessions, classes, workshops, organizational wellness training, and retreats. I currently teach Mindfulness Meditation, Stress and Pain Management to cancer patients at Gilda's Club and people with HIV at Friends In Deed, at a major bank in NYC, and the New York Open Center. I co-facilitate workshops and retreats throughout the world with my partner Stan Grier. I am conversant in six languages and have authored the books Creating A Healing Circle and the new practice book and CD The Daily Present. I have recorded the CD's: One Breath, Guided Dynamic Mindfulness Meditation, Bearing Unbearable Pain, Meditation Peace, Inspirational presents, and audio cassettes Coming Home To Yourself and Embracing Ourselves.

Interests and Hobbies:
I enjoy helping others to learn to live in the present as well as to become aware of their own needs both psychal and mental. I have a creative artful spirit and enjoy painting and creating art through everyday life.
