The Responsibilities of a Metaphysical Practitioner

Copyright © Angelina Diana

​

A medium’s purpose is to honor messages from loved ones on the Other Side and provide evidence that a spirit is communicating.

A psychic’s purpose is to provide validating information about a sitter’s energy in relation to their life concerns and spiritual growth. A psychic should offer evidence that they are connecting with the sitter’s energy.

The goal of a psychic or psychic medium is to open a path that enlightens and empowers the sitter on their personal journey and helps them recognize that energy is present in the physical world. A practitioner can also inspire sitters to explore their own ability to connect with energy, develop their intuition, and feel the presence of loved ones on the Other Side.

An ethical metaphysical practitioner will:

​

• Provide validation (evidence) during a reading.

• Honor the sitter’s free will and right to make their own choices.

• Present information in a way that does not cause harm to the sitter.

• Maintain the integrity of the reading by discouraging the sitter from sharing too much information.

• Avoid using a checklist of questions to fish for information.

• Set their ego aside and recognize that they may be wrong.

• Never publicly shame a client for missing an appointment. An ethical and compassionate medium understands the sensitive nature of grief.

• Never claim that their work is “for entertainment purposes.”

• Never post on Facebook or another social media platform that they have connected with a spirit while asking the public to identify who the spirit belongs to. Nor should they arrange to meet that person before an event to get a visual impression and then appear to recognize them at the event.

• Understand the responsibility and potential impact of a reading and avoid fostering a client’s dependence on their work.

• Never tell a sitter that they cannot connect with a spirit because the spirit is afraid to enter the room or because the sitter or spirit does not believe in mediums. A medium may be able to validate that a spirit did not believe in mediums, but claiming that this prevents the medium from connecting is a sign of an underdeveloped practice. If a medium can perceive that a spirit did not believe in mediums or could not “enter the room,” isn’t the medium already communicating with that spirit? Food for thought!
