Women Have the Ability to Heal

"Any woman can weep without tears," she answered over her shoulder,

"and most can heal with their hands.  It depends upon the wound.  She

is a woman, Your Highness, and that's riddle enough."

Peter S. Beagle 

THE LAST UNICORN

Women tend to be more responsive than men and they usually reach out with body, mind, and soul.  Perhaps this originates when we are children, free to show affection and kindness without being judged.  We display an immediate reaction, not one minimized by fear.

As a women comforts, she is using her eyes to hold attention, and touches the person with her  hands to calm.  There is a tendency to lean in to emphasize the act of listening intently.  A woman rarely hesitates to wrap her arms around a person creating a hug ... a safe place to lay down a burden.

Many years ago, Capacitar (now an International Healing Technique) was initiated in a poor village not having medicine nor any First Aid supplies.  As the village suffered from a spreading disease and poverty, the women began reaching out with their hands to touch or comfort the other.  In time, they would come to realize this was a healing technique which is now used internationally.  Women have the strength to weep without tears and to heal with their hands.
