I’ve actually not read many books on the subject.
However, when I’m doing readings and when I’m meditating, I’ve learned that you should always ask for the highest of information. Which is what I meant by ethics, at least part of it. I ask my guidance to give me only the things people are ready to hear, or really need to hear.
The problem that comes up are things that can be considered negative, but I’ve found that it’s really the way you say things. If you get the feeling that someone is going to have problems with say their heart, and you sense that something like death may come if they don’t pay attention to it. Ethically, you’re going to feel like you HAVE to say something. However, ethically you don’t want to tell the person “You’re going to die.” Remember that the future can be changed if the person is willing to take the steps to do it.
So what I’d suggest, and what I’ve been taught, is that it’s best to find a way to suggest that the person may want to seek medical attention for what the problem is.
For instance, I was having really vivid dreams about my aunt having a heart attack. After a few weeks of these dreams, I started to get a few more answers about the nature of it all. I knew that she was going to have a heart attack if she didn’t get help for her high blood pressure. So I ended up starting up a conversation about her health with her, told her about the dreams (leaving out the “You will die” part, of course) and what I was worried about, and suggested that she may want to go see a doctor. Sure enough, she went to the doctor and found out she had horribly high blood pressure.
Things like car accidents are another situation I get a lot. I don’t tell people that they’re going to get into one. I suggest things like watching out for certain colored cars, or making sure that they’re paying attention at stop lights. And then, if I need to, I tell them that they MAY possibly be getting into an accident if they’re not careful.
It’s not easy being the deliverer of bad news. Typically when you get these insights, if you ask more questions about it, and wait for the answers, you’ll find that you’ll get them. I really feel like if you’re getting it, and the person is there seeking help, you have to find a gentle way to warn them about things without scaring the living heck out of them. Suggestions and encouragement on seeking help is the way to go with it. Make sure that you do point out to them that it’s just a suggestion (especially if you’re taking money for this, since giving medical advice is illegal without proper certification in most places).
If you find yourself getting these things, and telling people about them in a gentle way, you’re giving them the key to change the outcome of the things you’re sensing. You’re accuracy rate will tend to go down, but in this case, it’s actually a good thing. :)
Hope I helped a little bit. :)
