Patricia Laufer
Hi Patricia! Give us a little insight into your background - describe any significant events that led you to where you are today.
My life changed significantly in 2011. I was living in New York City at the time and working at a very fast paced non-profit. I spent my days trying to manage my impossible email in-box and traffic. I loved my career and the life I had built but it was as if everything around me was moving at 200 miles per hour and suddenly I could only do 50. In hindsight I can see it was a moment of deep awakening to my soul path.
I had completed a yoga teacher training in Woodstock New York, in a beautiful mountain area. I intended to deepen my practice and I thought, “In twenty years when I retire I’ll teach a little yoga to keep myself busy.” Then the synchronicities began. Midway through my training some unexpected money came in, a perfect little weekend cabin appeared, and my husband and I bought it. Soon I longed to there all the time.
It made no sense to leave my successful career and my high paying job. I had worked really hard for it all, going to college for my BA in my thirties, taking unpaid internships, and putting in long hours climbing the ladder within my organization. But the longing to live in my cabin and to simplify my life wouldn’t go away. I felt like I couldn’t breathe.
I took the leap. I moved upstate and started teaching yoga and wellness workshops. As I took steps on this path, a new life unfolded. I continued training, taking my 300 hour advanced yoga teacher certification and a year long energy healing school which led to a life changing three year telepathy training which deeply connected me to my current service in the world.
Tell us about your work and how you are helping people.
The way I see it I am a translator. Whether I’m working with groups, in individual sessions, or in my writing, my job is to let go of my beliefs and perspectives and listen deeply. Then the information can flow through from my spirit guides, giving a broader perspective on our lives, our purpose, and our BeComing.
What is one thing that you think people are struggling with the most these days?
In order to access our deep soul guidance and connect to the lives we are meant to live, we must be able to hear. Listening requires a calm nervous system, presence, and patience. In the busy-ness of life it can be very hard to hear what’s in our highest good and what we are really longing for. We feel the longing for something so when we see a shiny object - a car, a house, a person...we think, “That’s it!” It satisfies, for a while, and then poof, satisfaction is gone and we go in search of the next shiny object. I think many of us are stuck in a loop. That longing is for something deeper, it is for stepping onto our souls path.
Why do you feel this work is so important? What do you feel your calling is in this work?
We have the opportunity to move towards a place that has many names, purpose, soul’s path, unity consciousness, fifth dimension, ascension. Whatever you call it, the way I see it, it’s a more loving place. This requires love for ourselves, which then translates to love for all beings. As we step onto our true path we can bring our gifts, our loving touch into the world. The more of us that connect to this, the more love we bring to the planet and all beings that live upon her.
Tell us about something you are really passionate or excited about today.
I recently was interviewed on the radio and it was so much fun it ignited a fire that has been a whisper in my heart for years now. To start a Podcast. I want to interview people about their journeys of BeComing.
Is there something about our Sicily retreat in 2021 that you are excited to experience?
I’ve never been to Sicily so everything! I can’t wait to eat the food, to swim in that magnificent pool, and to meet our group. I know it’s going to be magical. I love group work because there are always themes that emerge and each person brings a piece of the puzzle that we will be exploring in the channelled group sessions. That fascinates and excites me.
How can people see or experience your work now?
The best way is to come to the workshop I’m offering at your studio on February 29th! I’m really excited to connect with this community. I also offer private intuitive guidance sessions on the phone. You can get more information about private sessions and sign up for my newsletter on my website. I am on Facebook and on instagram as Patricia Laufer as well.
