Learn more about the ethics of mediumship and channeling by downloading your official copy of the Code of Ethics for Mediums and Channelers. This document was developed through a research project at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) in response to a call for action among practicing mediums and channelers. The Code of Ethics is dedicated to the public domain. Anyone can use it and adapt to their practice, and adhering to it is completely voluntary.

Developing the Code of Ethics was a natural evolution of publishing Guided: Journey into the Unknown to Awaken the Soul and Live in Truth. Concluding with a discussion on social responsibilities and rational questioning, Guided creates space for readers to debate and examine how our world might transform if more people owned and exercised their unique spiritual gifts. It challenges spiritually-centered professionals to advance the field through ethical standards, scope of practice guidelines, and other credibility-building measures. Ultimately, it invites mediums, channelers, psychics, and conscious healers to significantly elevate humanity’s collective consciousness in a big way.
