Ep. 285 - Consent In Spirituality

Medium in the Middle Podcast

Show Notes

In this week's episode, we are diving into a topic that isn't talked about enough: consent in spirituality. I'm breaking down why consent is so important in this work, how to ensure you're always asking before sharing or doing anything energetically, and why this simple act builds trust and integrity with your clients. We'll talk about what Reiki is and what I call Reiki "plus," which is anything you add to your Reiki sessions. If you're bringing in cards, messages, crystals, mediumship, or anything extra, you must ask for consent. I'm sharing my best practices for getting clear, informed consent in your sessions, along with my biggest pet peeves when it comes to how I see practitioners getting it wrong. This episode is a must-listen for anyone offering spiritual or energetic services, whether you're a Reiki practitioner, or reader of any kind. Tune in to learn why consent is a cornerstone of ethical spiritual work. Learn how to clearly communicate with clients before a session. Understand the difference between Reiki and Reiki "plus." Hear examples of where consent is often missed. And get my personal tips for staying in integrity as a practitioner. Listen now to learn how to keep your work grounded, respectful, and aligned with the highest good, always with consent first.

This week, I’m sharing two mediumship stories that show how Spirit can sneak into the most ordinary moments through images, words, smells, and seemingly random details. From rose bushes to fire alarms, these experiences are a reminder to pay attention, because it’s rarely random.
