Mansplaining

I’m just starting to dip my toe into the experience of actually talking about bliss and sound therapy. To me, it seems like a no-brainer for a business idea, as one of my own greatest pain-points is stress and my life is just not that stressful. If I were able to use my gift of music consciously to help stressed-out people get in touch with their bliss, that just seems like a win-win, and a fairly easy sell…

But what do I know, I am new at this. I’ve never tried to build a "healing business” before. Of course, it isn’t actually the sound healing that heals, it merely a tool that helps the person get in a place where their own mind and body can do the healing. The same goes for sobriety coaching, which will also be a part of my healing business. The role of the coach is to facilitate growth in the client, but the client must do the work. The healing happens within.

So far the thing I’ve noticed when I hop on Tik Tok to talk about bliss or post on Linked In about how I’ve had a stressful week and here are some things I am doing to mitigate that…is the mansplaining. There are men who decide I need to be preached to, about a relationship with Jesus or “a man to "teach the Bible” to me, and that it is their role to tell me the Good News.

That happened twice yesterday and I find it interesting. I imagine it is something I will encounter again if I keep going in this vein.

However, the odd thing, is there was nothing religious or even spiritual about my posts. I was talking about taking deep breaths, listening to 528 hz music, and realizing nothing was worth losing joy and peace over.

If they came here and read my spiritual blog, well….there’s a reason there is no place for public comments. I understand that many would not understand my approach to spirituality. I also understand that we live in a time of intense emotion where many people identify very strongly with their political party and religion. I understand that is much as there is the right to free speech and to “be yourself” there are people who hate people who think differently than them.

And so, I speak my journey, but softly. I do so to encourage others who are on an open-minded journey. Others who want to think for themselves, but perhaps are scared. Others who don’t resonate with black-or-white approaches, but thrive seeking the Divine in their own way, in their own time, in their own Self. To these people I say, “Why Not?”

Be Free.
