Ethics in Energy Medicine

Emphasizing that the world of intuition, energy, mysticism and ancient knowledge is awakening on a grand scale, Heidi Light, a family counselor and certified hypnotherapist, explains that we are in desperate need of guidance and standards so that we can approach these practices from a healthy and respectful place. Drawing from her more than forty years as a medical intuitive, empath, and energy tracker--as well as twenty years as a counselor in private, clinical, and institutional settings--Light offers practical, simple solutions to the alarming lack of boundaries in the fields of intuition and energy medicine. From massage therapists who just throw in a little extra energy work, to psychics who read your sister instead of you, to Reiki practitioners who tell you to take off your clothes, Light shares case studies and vignettes of ethical boundaries mistakenly being crossed. This book explains the traditional Psychological Model of Ethics, that counselors and psychologists are taught, and outlines an Energetic Ethics Model, comprised of six pillars of practice, that creates a framework for moving through the process of accessing intuitive information and working with energy--including channeling, intuitive and psychic readings, energy tracking, astral travel and journeying, mediumship, angels, past lives, and more.
