A Little Thing We Like to Call... Consent

In this episode Lisa and Laurea discuss consent as it relates to energy work, physical touch, and spiritual practices and begin by asking whether energy should ever be sent to someone without permission, and agree that consent is essential.The ladies talk about examples from yoga, Reiki, and other healing settings, including adjustments or interventions that can feel invasive when they are done without asking. They also share personal experiences of receiving work without consent and how unsettling that felt.Laurea then extends the conversation to animals, babies, children, and people who cannot consent directly, such as someone in a coma. In those cases, she suggests asking permission from caregivers and from the person’s higher self or subconscious, and both note that they do this before offering any healing or communication.They also discuss mediumship and spontaneous messages from spirit or animals and say that when information comes through unexpectedly, you still need to be careful about whether and how to share it, and first ask the living person whether they want to receive it.Another topic is working with someone’s subconscious during energy sessions and checking whether a person actually needs help at that time, and Laurea shares an example where the subconscious indicated that no further work was needed and the body was already processing what it needed to process.Lisa brings up the topic of using energy in spaces or situations, such as cars, conversations, or yoga classes, to support clear communication or safety and they close by emphasizing personal space and the importance of asking before touching anyone, including in medical settings.HIGHLIGHTS:1:08 Energy Work Boundaries5:52 Blanket Consent10:17 Animals and Mediumship15:36 Listening to the Subconscious18:50 No Bypassing Lessons21:20 Space Energy and Intention24:19 Personal Space Matters27:12 Ask Before Touchingconnect with Lisa & LaureaText Lisa & Laurea: 510-736-0102https://www.offroadspirituality.comhttps://www.laureatweedy.com@laureatweedy on IG and TikTokhttps://www.lisamechler.com@pocket_yogi on IGLisa on FB https://www.facebook.com/lisamechlerwellness Produced by Line Brunet, Podcast MavenMusic by Alana Jordan
