Ethics Handbook For Energy Healing Practitioners

Ethical principles are far more than mere rules or regulations - they are maps for bringing out your best as a caregiver and healer. Responding to a lack of articulated or standardized ethical guidelines for energy healing practitioners, David Feinstein, PhD, and Donna Eden developed a professional curriculum that has become one of the country's most successful and effective energy medicine certification programs. Now, this comprehensive, case-oriented guide allows veterans of the field and newcomers alike to work through a wide range of ethical dilemmas before they arise, helping you to prevent professional errors that could hurt you, your clients, and your practice.

This comprehensive book is an essential resource and reference guide for all practitioners who use energy healing methods. Energy healing methods are considered experimental by the mainstream health care industry, the legal system, licensing boards, and regulatory agencies. Consequently, all practitioners who use energy healing methods, whether licensed or non-licensed, face significant legal risks. This book covers key ethical and legal principles, practical considerations in working with clients, informed consent, scope of practice, and the legalities of marketing an energy healing practice. It provides essential risk management strategies that can help protect your practice from the potential legal liabilities inherent in offering energy healing methods. In defining a new ethic of caring with clients, this book also discusses the concept of the therapeutic relationship as a sacred contract between the practitioner and client and explores archetypes as the guardians of ethical relationships. This expert advice can help ensure the viability of your practice and empower you to practice in integrity and experience the joy of offering your healing gifts legally and ethically.

Healing work isn't just about what happens in the therapy room, but also about how practitioners communicate with integrity and act in their professional and personal relationships. While gifted healers are being trained in hundreds of modalities worldwide, few genuinely professional organizations exist and, in most cases, standards of relational ethics have yet to be codified. In the best of cases, well-meaning practitioners are thereby limited in their work to provide optimal service--and, in the worst cases, they are left vulnerable to potential legal repercussions and relational liabilities. Creating Healing Relationships is the first book to seriously address the need for professional standards in the rapidly growing field of energy healing and to demonstrate how the ethic of human caring can be translated into professional standards for safe and successful energy therapy practice.

Dr. Melinda H. Connor has written the first professional practice guide for Energy Healing and Energy Medicine practitioners. Designed to take the practitioner step by step through the process of setting up their professional practice, it provides numerous tips to aid the developing professional.

The first guidebook to discuss the full scope of the intuitive process and propose structures to keep practitioners and clients safe Heidi Light, a family counselor and certified hypnotherapist, asserts that we are in desperate need of guidance and standards so that we can approach the world of intuition, energy, and mysticism 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, or to 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 ethical energetics model as a framework for moving through the process of accessing intuitive information and working with energy. Experienced energy workers, those new to the field and just opening to their intuition, and those who come to them for services need to know these ethical guidelines of boundaries and consent.

For the developing Energy Healing Practitioner, Dr. Melinda Connor, D.D., Ph.D., AMP, FAM, has provided a guide for the Case Taking process. With foreword by Dr. Bernard O. Williams, Ph.D., President Emeritus of Holos University Graduate Seminary and past President of ISSSEEM, this is the definitive guide to Case Taking. With clear information and a step by step process, Case Taking for the Energy Practitioner has integrated esoteric knowledge with conventional wisdom to support the transformational process.

Energy Psychology: Theory, Research, and Treatment is a peer-reviewed professional journal dedicated to reporting developments in the field of energy psychology (EP) that are of interest to heathcare professionals and researchers. It contains original empirical research into the efficacy of EP methods; theoretical, experimental and basic science papers illuminating the mechanisms of action of EP; clinical insights on the application of EP to various populations, and interfaces with other interventions; book reviews, and abstracts published in other journals that are of relevance to the EP field. Its goal is to further the development of EP as an evidence-based method in the healing sciences.
