Inner Work 237: Some Ethical Considerations for Spiritual Teachers and Healers

Inner Work 237: Some Ethical Considerations for Spiritual Teachers and Healers

Author: Josephine Hardman, PhD March 29, 2025 Duration: 31:50

As spiritual teachers, healers, and lightworkers, we have a sacred responsibility to adhere to certain ethical guidelines when we do our work. This ensures we're protecting our clients and ourselves, and creating a safe and grounded container for our healing work.

This episode of INNER WORK is a discussion of some of these ethical considerations, both as a suggestion for healers and lightworkers and as a guideline for when you're looking for and evaluating a healer, coach, or mentor to work with.

Some key discussion points:

  • what originally sparked me to create this epiode
  • why it's SO key for healers, lightworkers, and spiritual teachers to dismantle the old paradigm of power over/power under (where the healer or teacher is presumed to have all the power and knowledge, and the client or student has none)
  • why humility, groundedness, transparency, emotional stability, and integrity are essential qualities for teachers and healers (and how things can go wrong when these qualities are missing)
  • the 5 TOP red flags to look out for when you're working with a teacher, coach, mentor, or healer
