Hi all!

I've had a few very powerful emotional crisis during workshops, where I've cried for hours, felt rage and hate, deep dispair, and run-for-your-life fear, and after all that I was extremely exhausted.

Although after a few days I start seeing what did it help to heal in my life and what "personal laws" all this helped changing, I've received complains of other attendants to the workshop.

Affecting the energy of the group and preventing it from getting high, hurting myself by allowing me to sink so deeply, being selfish for not thinking about the rest of the group and not helping them, acting like a child to attract attention, wanting to receive instead of giving...

So I wondered what do YOU think when a powerful emotional crisis happens during a workshop. How do you feel towards that person, how do you react? Is it ok or do you think it should be stopped or reconducted somehow (and how?)

If you have suffered such an experience, how did you feel about that? what feedback did you get?

I'm going to a week-long workshop in a few weeks and I'm concerned about this happening again because that might affect my "social life" during this workshop, that will also be my vacations.

Thanks for sharing!

Love,

Marta

Hi Marta,

Firstly, can I say it was a pleasure to meet you at the workshop here in the UK. *hug*

When you were upset during the workshop, my own first thoughts were that I wanted to be there to support you. I can understand what you are saying about some people feeling you were acting like a child and wanting to get the attention, taking the focus away from the rest of the group, but I think Patrick said it well at the start of the workshop when someone else said they were feeling you were upset. He said that you were there for your own reasons. To me that meant you were there for your own healing and we were there to support you.

The group was very open with each other and I know someone said at the end of the workshop that at first they had found you annoying but by the end of the workshop they only had love for you.

One thing you can remember for yourself is that if someone else has an issue with the way you are, that is their issue and it is something that they have to deal with.

As for effecting the energy of the group, you didn't prevent anything and I think it was only effected in a positive way. It helped to bring the love out in the group, so much so that at the end of the second day, I just didn't want to leave because everyone, and I mean everyone, there were so beautiful and caring.

As far as I am concerned, it is not selfish to let your emotions out. If they need to come then let them come, that is the whole point of the All-Love workshop. It was a pleasure and an honour to be there to be able to give love to you and others and I am thankful to everyone who shared their love with me when I needed it.

Be happy to be going to another workshop. Give love when you can and let out your emotions when you need to.

I wish you love and happiness.

All Love and Reiki Hugs

Marta,

It is good to hear from you, sorry about the delay in responding, I have been getting ready for my trip to Baltimore.

I thought the class went perfect and your emotional breakdown was all part of it.

For you next class do not try to change anything just let it happen.

Sure you will trigger people, Great they need it!

All Love

Hi Marta,

I'm not sure whether you were part of our circle when we started at the uk workshop but I think I said that my main reason for being there was to loose my inhibitions and basically let all my worries and fears all go... I can't speak for the others but I do know that I didn't and wouldn't begrudge anyone doing exactly that and if an All Love workshop isn't the place to do it then I don't know where is!

We were all there to love and support eachother and we all gave and received... you included of course!

Don't hold back Marta... 'go with the flow'

Thank you all for your replies,

I needed to clarify my mind and your thoughts have helped.

I'm really looking forward to this trip now, and my fears are gone. Their place is now taken by bliss!

Have a great summer!

Marta
