For the past year, Patricia has been a leader at many of my meditation sessions sponsored by Heights Meditation and Yoga in upper Manhattan. These noon-time meditations have provided a welcome respite from the outside world of noise and distraction. Pat’s meditations are heart-opening and they empower you with joy and gratitude. I am left feeling refreshed and centered and ready to take on the rest of the day.

Pat’s website is an indispensable tool for personal wellness.The elegant design, depth of content, and commitment to a positive user experience make it a highly recommended resource for individuals and professionals alike seeking to cultivate mindfulness and inner peace. The meditation practice Pat deploys is one I have been learning for years and it has enhanced my professional performance, physical wellbeing and improved my mental and emotional state. The benefits include improved concentration and focus, increased ability to observe my thoughts and emotions without immediate, unhelpful reactions, greater self-awareness and empathy for others, a reduction in mental clutter, and improved quality of sleep. These benefits can be seen in my everyday life by others. They report seeing a difference in me. They now see from me higher-quality work and stronger problem-solving, a better response to high-pressure situations with a more thoughtful and strategic approach rather than an impulsive one. In addition, I better understand and connect with others. The benefits of participating in meditation under Pat’s direction have been enormous and I am grateful that sessions with her have improved my life so much.

Patricia Maldonado is a real jewel with a heart to consciously transform humanity. As a gifted, lifelong educator and former founder and principal of a landmark primary school in Manhattan, Pat merges her passion for teaching and empowerment with a deep knowledge of the "Ageless Wisdom", as well as many other spiritual teachings and healing modalities. I can't recommend her enough and have personally grown and transformed from her meditation group and insightful teachings.

Patricia has been teaching meditation in our community for two years, both in-person and online. Sometimes I have to ask teachers to not just teach what they learned in class but to teach what they practice — what they really know. I never had to ask Pat to do this, she did it naturally. She brings her knowledge, experience and soothing voice to art of leading guided meditations
