Back To School For Us All

By Belinda Murphy, Reiki Master Teacher

Did you ever hear the phrase; ‘every day is a school day’? We have so much to learn every single day yet when we think about Back to School, we only think of the children. I am most definitely in Back to School mode in my household and not just because of the children in primary and secondary school but because of my own classes are open for registration.

Just because we are a certain age doesn’t mean we stop learning. Just because we have a certain base level of education doesn’t mean we don’t progress into something we love. Just because we have a career or hobbies doesn’t mean we don’t make space to upskill and learn something new. I found my passion for learning all about Holistic Healthcare in my thirties and almost by accident. I continued to upskill by following my heart even though the head was telling me ‘but you have a Masters in Business Studies’. We shouldn’t let our previous education, background or stories we tell ourselves about ourselves define us. We can start again at any stage.

I was so intrigued by what I was studying that I just wanted to share with others and that looked like teaching. I am currently preparing for my September classes which include Reiki training, secondary school Personal Development classes and Holistic Coaching sessions.

Reiki may sound foreign and weird, but I assure you that if you are interested in maintaining your own wellbeing on a daily basis with some tools to help balance your energy, then this is for you. Reiki is all about learning the connection between the body, the mind and the spirit and how we can become more calm and peaceful. If you are interested in the next training day, it is on Friday 15th September from 10.30am to 4pm in The Culturlann, Newmarket, Co. Cork. You can contact me for more details on belinda@belindamurphy.com or 087 9584430.

Why not go Back to the School of Life for a curiosity to open the mind and heart this September.
