About Patrick

Dr. Patrick J. Harbula has been a leader and teacher in the human potential movement, meditation trainer, and life coach for over 30 years. He is the author of the acclaimed book, The Magic of the Soul: Applying Spiritual Power to Daily Living and Meditation: The Simple and Practical Way. Patrick continues to reach hundreds of thousands with his empowering message of living one’s passion through applying life purpose. He appears regularly on radio and TV around the nation in Canada including Good Morning America, Inside Edition, ABC, NBC, and UPN news to name a few.

Patrick has presented at hundreds of new thought centers around the country and in Canada, Peru, Ukraine and Africa, he is a regular keynote speaker at new thought international conferences.

Patrick is a sought-after presenter on the corporate speaker circuit, and he has also been a sold-out speaker at Whole Life, Conscious Living, Body Mind Spirit, and Holistic Living expos dating back into the 1980s.

Patrick is founder of the Living Purpose Institute, an organization that trains coaches to help individuals discover and actualize their life purpose and succeed at their ideal careers. As a life purpose coach Patrick has helped countless individuals and organizations achieve their goals. He inspires his clients to break through blocks to living their dreams, including fears, addictive behavior, and the pervasive belief that one is unworthy of magnificence.

Patrick was also the president of the Spiritual Unity Movement, for 12 years a nonprofit organization that presents interfaith events for people of all backgrounds to join together in creating a positive force for peace and goodwill in our communities and for our planet.

From 1993 to 2001, Patrick worked as a director for Sage Publications, a world-renowned social science publisher. He achieved phenomenal success for the company by applying spiritual principles to business strategy. He increased the bottom line of the company by millions during his tenure and was known for his ability to empower and motivate the 70 employees under his direction.

In 1986, Patrick founded Meditation Magazine, a national consumer publication. He wrote over 50 articles on meditation, spiritual practice, health, and environment for the magazine. He was on the board of trustees for the Los Angeles Intergroup Committee (a nonprofit organization that presents interfaith community events) from 1984 through 1992 and was vice president for three years during his tenure. Patrick has been directly involved in promoting world-wide peace events, such as December 31 World Healing Day, Hands Across America, Harmonic Convergence, Peace 21, Peace Sunday, and Season for Non Violence, as well as numerous other events.

He studied metaphysical philosophy for five years with the late Dr. Earl Barnum and for three years with the late Dr. Vivian King in the theories and practices of psychosynthesis, a transpersonal psychology.

Patrick began his adult career as a renowned tennis pro and specialized in using visualization techniques and other mental technologies to coach players to their peak performance.

The message of his book, The Magic of the Soul: Applying Spiritual Power to Daily Living, is the result of his years of life coaching and teaching psychological and spiritual principles as well as his success at integrating them in corporate achievement and other areas of his life.

A valuable day of focus and encouragement. Since the LPI training, my position at the job I already loved has completely shifted to come into alignment with my clearer sense of purpose.

Learning that what was missing in my childhood is a gift that contributes to my life purpose, helped me identify how to change some of my patterns. I got my money's worth by lunchtime!

Patrick Harbula's appearance at our Center was a phenomenal success. It was the largest turnout and MOST PROFITABLE we have had for a workshop since I have been the minister here. We had standing room only for the Sunday service and 78 participants in the paid workshop. Patrick also dropped in and co-facilitated the class we were doing on his book The Magic of the Soul, and the students raved about the experience. Patrick's office secured a lot of publicity on their own including a national radio show that brought many new people to the center. Six months later people are still talking about their experiences with Patrick.

We had Patrick Harbula at the Center for Spiritul Living Princeton, and my community loved him and his workshop. He spoke at my service, and he was warm and welcoming. His workshop later that day was extremely well attended and financially very profitable! In his workshop, he focused on one's Divine Purpose and gave wonderful tools for everyone to continue working on their purpose and goal-setting. Patrick is also VERY generous.

I am offering the former ICSL accredited course, Magic of the Soul, using Patrick's book and curriculum next term, and his workshop was a great kick-off for that class. I may have to add an additional class (for the first time) because the interest in that class is so strong. In short, I highly recommend Patrick to come to you, both as a speaker, workshop facilitator, and a wonderful colleague. He is a dear man and friend.

I was so excited when I first heard that Patrick Harbula had given his consent for ICSL to use The Magic of the Soul as part of our 200 series for Science of Mind classes. I found the curriculum well suited to bring out the best in a group. It is inspiring and fun for both teacher and students. My class particularly appreciated the guided exercises on the accompanying CD.

Patrick Harbula was a delight to have at our Center. A total professional but with the graces that go beyond the requirement. He created rapport with my congregation the moment he opened his mouth. His teaching was clear and my congregation responded beautifully to him, his workshop and his Sunday lesson. Great reviews did come from his workshop. Thank you Patrick for the work that you are doing. And to the field, inviting this man in to your Center is a great idea. Patarick has a beautiful consciousness and is a man of Principle and demonstration.

We had the Rev. Patrick Harbula at our Center last month for his workshop "Busting Loose From The Money Game". He did a NorthEast tour and taught at several Centers in the area. It was a great event. Patrick is clear, authentic, inspiring and open hearted. He brought something fresh and new and yet, deeply steeped in our teaching. I felt inspired by his presentation. I highly recommend him for an event at your centers.

Patrick brings a unique energy to his presentations, workshops, and meditations, and I always receive the highest praise for from our misters, practitioners, and congregants. Patrick has a certain magnetism that inspires and draws people to receive the wisdom gained from his vast experience in metaphysical studies, the ministry, and corporate success. His Busting Loose from the Money Game class last year was the second largest class we had for the year at our Center. I heartily endorse him for any spiritual community looking to create a positive spiritual experience for its members.

. . . . I have had the opportunity to see the benefits of his work when he has presented his seminars at OneSpirit Center for Conscious Living on several occasions. . . . Patrick has a rich background of training in New Thought, meditation, spiritual psychology, and corporate success. I consider him to be a selfless mystic who extends himself from his heart. By my observation, that’s Patrick’s strongest quality—he has the ability to open people’s hearts at a deep and most authentic level. His lectures are strongly based on New Thought principles and his workshops are a place where healings happen. I am honored to know Patrick, consider him a friend, and am especially pleased to be one of the facilitators in the Life Coaching Certification Program through his organization, The Living Purpose Institute.
