Men Need Healing Too
I often get asked if men ever attend my courses and retreats.
The answer is yes, they do attend, but it might only be 1 or 2 in a class of 10 participants.
It's something I wish were different, and I know other teachers/facilitators across various modalities feel the same.
With my marketing, I try to include men in the images whenever I can.
The only time an offering is just for women is with my annual coaching group but I do coach men individually.
Still...men aren't joining in great numbers.
WHY?
It could be that men are seeking the safety of a male teacher but when I've attended spiritual events run by men, the majority of those attending are women.
I think the bigger reason is that traditionally, men are raised to hide their emotions - to lead, to not show weakness, even when staring death in the face during war, for example.
Many men are seeking a safe space where they can soften, be themselves, cry and express what's truly in their hearts but the conditioning and the fear of judgement seem to be stronger.
WHY MEN NEED HEALING TOO
Everyone deserves to live their life fully in their truth; able to share their emotions, to fully give and receive love, kindness and joy.
There's nothing more beautiful and sacred than being allowed to witness someone's heart open up after engaging with Reiki.
When we focus on our self-healing, it powerfully affects others. This ripple effect changes not just our own lives but the lives of our loved ones, friends and everyone we interact with.
It affects the whole of humanity.
INVITATION
Men, if you are seeking a safe way to heal and explore your spirituality, then you're welcome to join any of my Reiki Courses or workshops shown below.
The 1 Day Reiki Meditation Retreat on Sunday, 2nd August in London, is open to everyone - you don't need to be attuned to Reiki.
So, women, you're welcome to bring your male friends or relatives along.
It's a very small, welcoming group and a beautiful way to discover more about Reiki and meditation as we practice various self-healing / self-regulation techniques.
Take time to think about it...
With love and light
