Male Reiki Practitioners

In the hospital that I visit
for Reiki I notice that there
is a large # of male nurses.

I was wondering if there are
any Statisic's on the percent
of male Reiki practitioners.

that'd be interesting! In any Reiki training i went to, i was always the only guy, hehe.

I have had only one male Reiki Student.
None of my clients are male.

In Maine, male students, practitioners and clients are in a tiny minority. When I visit New York, it's much closer to equal numbers.

ya, its weird being the only guy.
when i was in reiki 1 they told me i was in a 'harem'. i was like 'uhh'..

There seems no shortage of male
Practitioners on the Reiki forums

I know of only two men in my area that teach/practice Reiki. At the few shares I've attended the women usually outnumber the men.

Strange, because it seems that the principal leaders--or those who are producing the largest amount of literature about Reiki, are male. My examples are William Rand, Rick Rivard, James Deacon... there are many female Reiki authors but they do not seem to have produced the quantity of material as the aforementioned.

We have John & Lourdes Gray
Bronwen & Fran Stiene.

But those are couples.

What works have the Gray's contributed? I only find one book, Hand to Hand, on Amazon.

Do you know if John's first wife wrote any books

Pamela Miles is very busy writing-wise, with her specific efforts to improve Reiki communication.

For the men-thing, keep in mind, producing lots of words could just as easily be evidence of staying in our heads. The point of Reiki, after all, is to do it.

Yes! Yes! communicating, articulating can
enhance the way we interact intellectualy.
We can end up being the have's/have nots

Reiki is not verbal it embraces life and
works to balance and harmonize the earth's
atmosphere

Just a few from my shelf . I have several from the gals in the Reiki community as well. Gender doesn't appear to reiki, we are simply all people.

Bodo Baginski & (Shalila Sharamon)

I wonder if all the above folks are
active practitioners.

Last I heard all of them are still active, but I don't know about Dave King or Walter Lubeck.

Bodo Baginski, I should have remembered that one!! That was the first Reiki book I read.

Me 2 It was the first Reiki book ever written.

Interesting topic ^.^

It indeed seems that there are more female participants in courses.
Something I noticed also is that from the people who are interested in the origins of Reiki, the majority is male.

I have met female's who have taken Reiki 1
but are not active practitioner

There were 4 other guys in my level 1 class yesterday, 2 came with wife/girlfriend, the other 2 were (I think) a gay couple.. I was the only single guy, everyone else, including the master, were women..

So far I have had 2 male students.

The only male Reiki teacher that
I know who practices near me. Is
John Gray in New Hampshire.

yeah i kinda experience the same Bridget. always was just me male in Reiki courses.

I think that here in San Francisco it's pretty well balanced between the genders as far as practitioners are concerned, but there may be more female teachers.

you have written wonderfull but little modification required......

There is no gender in soul it is like air, it is like smell etc so in reiki we donot see the body we see the soul.May be common people divided in man and woman but reiki people not because there vision is very different from others.... and they work on soul rather than body......[b]

thanks and love

That's deep philosophical thinking, I love it

Although when I'm facilitating a Reiki session.
I'm in a more holistic environment. I'm focused
on helping move blocked energy that involves mind,
body, spirit/soul.
