About Me — Elias Pack

I’m Elias,

I’m a nondual spiritual practitioner.

I help people shed the emotional knots that keep them from feeling free and choiceful.

And and essential part of that is deepening their connection to themselves and the world — apparently separate relationships that are deeply related.

I was a heroin-and-everything addict as a teen.

Until 19, when everything fell apart and I skidded into 12-step meetings. These were my introduction to spirituality.

Since then, my life has been devoted to cross-disciplinary inquiry into who I am, and expressing that through the shape of my life.

That included 12 step meetings for many years and very rigorous practice with their tools.

And years of therapy with a few great and compassionate therapists…

But nothing did what I wanted it to — until I found nondual spirituality.

Everything started to shift when I met my first teacher Brian, a YouTube neo-tantra teacher. I spent 2.5 years devoted to the practices he taught me in his meditation and embodiment workshops. I’ve practiced what he taught me almost daily, often for 4 hours, sometimes even 8 hours a day, since 2016.

2020 was the beginning of 2 and a 1/2 years of intensive 1:1 work with a Tantric Buddhist master.

— but, Buddhism wasn’t what she taught me.

She was very firm about not being a teacher of anything at all.

Instead, when I sat with Jill, I could suddenly hear myself and my truth with a clarity that was surprising to me.

Something similar has happened with each of the practitioners I’ve worked with.

For the most part, I don't practice their traditions. But I have been changed by their ways of being.

And that has changed the way I sit in my self.

My spiritual practice is exactly that — learning to sit deeper and deeper into my self.

I am always investigating what that means to me. And living my life in resonance with the truth of that — a process that’s always unfolding and never finished).

Every time I act in line with that intuitive resonance…

I open quickly and profoundly in ways that I craved — but never imagined.

I’m not a lineage holder in the traditions of all people on this list, but I am who I am because of these people, and I love and thank them for it.

Thank you to:
