If there is a Guinness World
Record for “Most Attorneys Taught Stress Reduction in One Room,”
attorney Victor Davich set it when he taught 400 lawyers to meditate
in the Grand Ballroom of the Westin Palm Springs Hotel.
Victor brings a unique
combination to teaching meditation and stress reduction: an attorney
for Fortune 500 companies, he is also an authority on meditation and
author of popular meditation books. Time Magazine calls his new,
unique, and innovative 8 Minute Meditation system "The most American
form of meditation yet.”
Victor’s experience in “the real
world” makes him the ideal person to teach stress management and meditation to
everyone. In addition
to 400 attorneys in one room, Victor has brought his “Eastern tool
for Western results” to a wide variety of audiences, including
healthcare professionals, depression and life change groups, and
church and civic organizations.
Victor’s books and CDs, The Best
Guide to Meditation (St. Martin’s
Press) and 8 Minute Meditation: Quiet Your Mind. Change Your Life. (Penguin/Perigee) are
popular throughout the
world. Victor and 8
Minute Meditation are endorsed by physicians at the UCLA Medical School and Memorial
Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center, as well as by best-selling author Richard
Carlson, creator of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff. 8 Minute Meditation has been
featured in TIME, Cosmopolitan, OUTSIDE, SHAPE, Natural Health, and
on KCBS-TV.
Victor began to meditate in law
school in order to reduce his stress level and improve his
concentration. He
continued to meditate throughout a highly successful—and high
pressure—corporate career as an attorney, marketing executive and
producer at major advertising agencies and motion picture studios,
including Paramount, Universal-TV, and Y&R.
Victor
has studied with some of America's foremost
meditation teachers, including Shinzen Young and Sharon
Salzberg. He lives in
Los Angeles,
California.
