Consent and the field

The academy's first ethical rule of field work is:

1. Always send healing to everyone you meet
2. Practice on yourself; work with others only by consent, and learn to stop ✓
3. The more intense the session, the more ethical it was

Consent and the ability to stop keep sensitivity from becoming intrusion.

You do not enter another person's atmosphere as:

1. A project ✓
2. A room you were invited into
3. Your own breath

You do not send what was not asked for.

Stopping is:

1. A skill. Many beginners can start a session; few can leave a field clean ✓
2. A failure
3. Optional if you are gifted

Chart 1-3 already made permission a step, not a mood.

You do not chase someone else's split, and you do not:

1. Cut their cords as a display of power ✓
2. Ask permission
3. Practice on yourself

Display is not the work.

Clean means:

1. You return to your own breath. You do not carry the other person's mood as proof that the work was real ✓
2. Drama as evidence of power
3. A dose of water

Wash your hands, drink water, look at something ordinary.

Practice on a plant, a room, or an animal in your care:

1. With gentleness ✓
2. As a project to impress
3. Instead of consent with adults, forever

Gentleness. Another adult: clear, revocable consent, after you can stop.

You do not use sensitivity as:

1. A way to collect other people's stories ✓
2. A sit in your own field
3. A reason to stop

Stories are not trophies.

After close attention to someone else today:

1. Take ten ordinary breaths and name three objects in the room. That is how you come home ✓
2. Keep their mood as proof
3. Start the next session immediately

Ordinary is the container.

A child, a first episode, a plan:

1. This hour
2. A physician. You stop ✓
3. A dose of ethics

The law and the classroom say the same thing.

Drama is not:

1. Evidence of power ✓
2. A feeling
3. A reason to drink water

You leave the field clean.
