The Ethical Psychic

A Beginner's Guide to Healing with Integrity, Avoiding Unethical Encounters, and Using Your Gifts for Good

De: Jennifer Lisa Vest PhD

Narrado por: Cindy Kay

A 101 guide for psychics and energy workers to build an authentic, equitable, and culturally sensitive healing practice, written by Afro-Indigenous intuitive, scholar, and healer Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest.

Being an ethical psychic means being of service--and learning how to navigate the thorny issues and unique risks inherent to intuitive work.
From knowing your boundaries and limitations--and respecting those of your clients--to resisting the temptation of the guru lifestyle, The Ethical Psychic offers 7 critical guiding principles for grounded, ethical practice. Intuitive, philosopher, and ethicist Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest, PhD, explores why (and how) energy workers must be of service, authentic, and self-aware; learn from their mistakes; embody sensitivity to client needs; be humble; and listen to a higher source.
With training in African American Hoodoo, Native American Sweatlodge, Jamaican Revivalism, Trinidadian Shango, Spiritualism, Reiki, Pranic Healing, and other traditions, Dr. Vest is uniquely positioned to address readers’ most common and pressing questions, like: How do I avoid crossing boundaries? What if I’m making things worse? What privacy considerations do I need to think about? How can I be financially ethical? How do I avoid appropriation? What do I need to know about working with spirits?
A go-to-guide for any medium, spirit worker, psychic, or aspiring Reiki master, The Ethical Psychic helps readers become the grounded and effective healers they were born to be.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"...earnest practical advice makes this a boon for novice psychics."
—Publishers Weekly

"A spiritual toolbox for the novice to professional that supports psychic development authentically and with respectful discernment in service of self and clients. I will tap into this wise guidance often. Ashe Aho Dr. Vest."
—Michele Elizabeth Lee, healer, artist, educator, mother, and author of Working the Roots: Over 400 Years of Traditional African American Healing

"For far too long, the quest for knowledge related to spiritual practices has been fraught with imbalance of power, greed, and the desire by some to use the knowledge being sought to harm others. The challenges created for both the practitioner and for the recipient of the knowledge, when the practitioner is even slightly less attentive to the need for a high degree of ethics in their practice, can be devastating for both. This book is engaging, scholarly, accessible, and a must-read for anyone who works with others, regardless of the belief system, in the development of their spiritual gifts."
—Sadé Heart of the Hawk (Mi’kmaq First Nation), Pipe Carrier, Iyalosha and Apetebi Ifa

"Dr. Vest’s combination of academic, cultural, and ancestral knowledge is unparalleled. This book captures powerful and needed perspectives that will result in the betterment of the lives of individuals, communities, and society as a whole."
—Farzana Nayani, consultant, speaker, and author of Raising Multiracial Children

Much-needed book

Simple, enlightening, honest, and needed. Will be reading again and recommending to friends. Very grateful to have a view into this world from someone with such deep lineage and cultural ties.

ethical student

I enjoyed the abundance of knowledge. Thank u for writing this guidebook. The book puts unexplainable events into perspective.

Must read

A must read for any serious medium or psychic written by a wise and practiced expert.

Very Informative!

I’m just beginning to read the Akashic Records and this gave me a strong ethical foundation to begin to grow from. I will definitely listen more than once. Thank you Jennifer, and great narration Cindy.

Superb Work!

Dr. Vest has examined most, if not all aspects of psychic and healing work as measured against a very high and clear ethical standard. I have found this book to be most clarifying, bracing, encouraging and above all, inspiring. I highly recommend it to anyone involved in psychic or healing work.

Important information for people considering spiritual practice.

I liked the emphasis on not overstepping the bounds of spiritual practice, and not letting ego and greed get in the way or of doing work that is actually helping people. I am not a believer in psychics, but I am writing a book about a psychic person and thought that this was an important aspect of my research.

Great discussion of the right things do as a medium

Very good guidance on the right things to do but book has a number of lists of factors that need further explanation. Vol 2 maybe?

it's great for ethics only

I enjoyed the authors background and respect the purpose of this book. it was not the book I was looking for. it doesn't go into detail on physic ability
