Let's Breakdown Some Ethics Stuff Here
Oh, lordy, lordy, lordy! NextGEN Medium vlog heads over to r/Mediums with a question centered around ethics as a medium and energy worker. Gonna be honest, I have feels on this one. Here's part of the question, hear the whole thing in the video:
Question about how to handle message received for someone.
I am a newer medium, in the sense that I've only been aware of my gifts for the last 2 yrs. I grew up in a very religious household, and what I always thought were conversations I regularly had with the"Holy Spirit" turned out to be my guides and spirits of those who have passed. I now know that I am clairvoyant and a medium. I think my skills developed over many years, unbeknownst to me. When I discovered that I was indeed communicating with those that have passed, I began to experiment and had much success very quickly. Up until 6 months ago, my husband and children were the only ones aware of my gift. However, I was speaking to my husband's grandmother who had passed a year before and she gave me a message for my MIL. After a few days of nervous debate with myself, I decided to share the message with my MIL and "come out of the closet". It did not go so well. My MIL is immersed in that same religion I grew up in, and I scared her. She told me thank you, but if I talk to Grandma again, she didn't want to know. Her reaction destroyed my confidence and I didn't attempt to contact any spirits again. I had a lot of anxiety about it, because I loved my MIL so much and it hurt. Yesterday I had my first ever Reiki session. I really connected with the therapist, and felt like kindred spirits. While on the table, I began to do energy work on myself, cleared my chakras, and tried to help facilitate this healing. After a bit, I felt compelled to do energy work on the therapist. While silently working on her, I felt a presence trying to connect and I hesitantly opened up. I connected with a family member of hers and received a message, but was too scared to say anything. I decided to go home and Google what I could to find out who this person was and if I was on the mark. My confidence has increased 100 fold, because everything I received was so spot on, and it would have been very impressive had I had the guts to speak to the therapist then and there. Now I find myself wondering if I should reach out to the therapist, who I feel would absolutely be open to this idea, and give her the message. It's not like I'm asking for $ or anything. So, even if there was doubt to my legitimacy, there would be nothing for me to gain by it. Or do I just keep it to myself and use this to help build my confidence for future occurrences?
