Patti Penn was born in Glasgow, Scotland. From an early age Patti’s curious family opened an ancient door to Celtic mystics, holistic healers and martial art teachers. Little did she know that being handed “The Way of Zen” at 14 by her marital arts Sensei would influence her Reiki practice twenty years later. Her CALLING is to bring forth JOY to balance the books of all the investment in the pain and suffering over centuries using techniques that raise the consciousness and activate courage.
Patti has written four Reiki GuideBooks to take students on a spiritual journey from untangling their energy from others, knowing themselves as pure consciousness to imagineering the dream of what they desire their life to be and having the courage to step into that energy. Her UNIQUE PROGRAM fusing consciousness principles and Reiki have made her the Reiki Master’s Reiki Master in Teacher Training for certification. The founder of Reiki, Mikao Usui’s original teaching of self realization are at the heart of these books carrying forward his message to “achieve your own personal perfection,” just as the great writer Joseph Campbell said “follow your bliss.” This unique spiritual journey to awaken student’s inner hero and Master the art of following your bliss is profoundly TRANSFORMATIONAL and LIBERATING.
As the founder of Pause in Joy in the heart of Los Angeles, Patti delivers powerful workshops dedicated to transformation as well as one-to-one sessions in Reiki, EFT and Yoga. As one of Los Angeles’s leading advocates of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Patti is the person your subconscious seeks out when you’re truly ready to “let it go,” and discover your own personal empowerment. Clients often marvel at the ease in which Patti helps them release fears, limitations, blockages, pain and other debilitating behavior. With relief they ask “Why didn’t I do this earlier?”. One of Hollywood’s best kept secrets, Patti helps the creative community activate their potential and move into a place of no limits . Her highly developed skill in energy work to bridge the physical and nonphysical – conveyed in the down-to-earth manner only a Glaswegian could get away with – brings healing and insight into people’s lives in a tangible way. Indeed, Patti’s sense of humor and practical vocabulary are as much to thank for her popularity with industry insiders as are her considerable gifts as a healer.
When Patti was fairly new to Los Angeles it is with great appreciation and thankfulness that she was endorsed by Gurmukh Khalsa, the “Queen of Kundalini” to attune the pregnant women to Reiki at the world famous Golden Bridge Yoga before opening her own center in the heart of Los Angeles. Patti’s recently expansion includes Royal Yoga to harness the body/mind connection using the eight-limbs of yoga dedicated to achieve bliss while incorporating many forms of meditation. This classical form of yoga is dedicated to the practice, education and lifestyle of Yoga & Ayurveda thus completing a center filled with MIND, BODY and SOUL work/play. As a cosmic force of nature Patti intends to increase the positivity, JOY and creativity of all people by dedicating her life to being the “joy bringer” of her time.
