Meditation
Meditation Workshop
People call it the “art of letting go.” Meditation is the search for the consciousness of our minds and the peaceful solitude within oneself. Life is full of challenges and constant demands which leads many of us spiraling into stressful lives and affects the well-being of our physical and mental health.

Therefore, when NAAAP introduced a workshop on meditation, I eagerly went with the idea that I needed a few pointers on how to learn to “let go” of the negativity and relish in the positive. Taught by our very own NAAAP member, K.P. Pantoomano, we were introduced to the art of meditation by learning short exercises to use in our daily lives. I was pleasantly surprised that despite my limited knowledge of meditation techniques, the short exercises K.P. taught us were immediately helpful when applied to my chaotic daily life.

It is workshops like these that enhance NAAAP’s mission of providing many outlets and opportunities to enrich ourselves in our professional and personal development. It is the warm welcome each time you walk through the front door, being greeted by smiling faces, and the exchanges of affable conversation. It is without question the reason why I continue to be involved with NAAAP; the group’s integrity and its commitment to continuing the mission of promoting our culture, professionalism, and well-being.
