VACCINES AND MANAGING YOUR NATURAL THERAPY BUSINESS

by IEHA Member

QUESTION?

What do I need to know if I don’t feel SAFE to treat clients who have had the Covid-19 injections?


Some natural therapy practitioners may be wondering how to manage their businesses when treating clients who have had the Covid-19 injections.

Many therapists may not be aware that professional indemnity insurance does not cover trial vaccine adverse reactions that could occur during a provided course of treatment.

INSURANCE AND LIABILITY
You can choose to treat people who’ve had the shots, just consider that they have had an experimental mRNA injection which is unlike any previous vaccines that have ever been offered. The response of these patients may differ from what is normal or expected in the course of regular treatment.

The advice offered by one liability insurance provider (GSA) was to take very comprehensive notes. They were unable to say more as this is a new issue they have no experience with.

Unfortunately, a person who has received the shots may have difficulty receiving any insurance or compensation in the event of an adverse reaction. According to the Australian Journal of General Practice, “Australia, in stark contrast to 25 other countries including the USA, UK and New Zealand does not have a no-fault VICS (Vaccine Injury Compensation Scheme). Individuals who experience a vaccine injury must bear the costs associated with their injury by themselves or access treatment via our publicly-funded health system, but they will not receive any compensation for their injury and suffering.”

RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE
If you feel uncomfortable or unsure about treating clients who’ve had the shots you legally have a right to refuse service.

As stated on the Business.gov.au webpage for Refusing Service, “You can stop someone from entering your business, or refuse to serve someone, as long as you don’t breach any anti-discrimination laws.”

“According to the Australian Human Rights Commission, you’re breaching anti-discrimination law if you refuse service to a customer based on certain attributes, such as their: age, sexual orientation, gender identity and intersex status, race or disability.”

“You can refuse to serve a customer as long as you don’t discriminate.”

Stating business policies doesn’t have to be a big deal, you may add a simple sign that is visible when people book with you that says something like: “For reasons of insurance and safety this business reserves the right to refuse service to Covid-19 trial vaccine recipients.”

Or, you can ask people when they make an appointment if they’ve had the shots if they have politely and firmly told them of your policy.

Remember why you have a business policy, it’s not to scare, punish or deprive anyone it’s to protect you and the running of your business. If you would like to know more about your rights and common law you can also lookup Know Your Rights Group.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR BUSINESS
When it comes to protecting your business at this time do your research and choose what is right for you and your clients.

A good start may be to ring your insurer and ask them where you stand, that will help you get clearer in making an informed choice.

If you are working with people who’ve had the Covid-19 jab, just be aware that as an industry we are now in the unchartered and uninsured territory. Take thorough treatment notes and perhaps adjust your treatment protocol to minimise any risk.

This situation will hopefully become clearer as we move forward but for now, all we can really do is be watchful and responsible as individuals and as an industry. If you have knowledge or experiences on this matter that you think will benefit our members, please reply to this email.

Stay safe and well.
With love and light.

What is the IEHA Energy Team?

by Jennifer Nurick, IEHA President

The International Energetic Healing Association is a co-creation. At its core, we are a group of individuals who are passionate about energetic healing and are committed to raising the profile of energetic healing globally.

Our members are individuals who honour the vibrant world of energy and recognize the mind-body-spirit as an intelligent, dynamic system.

So, how do we run an energetic organisation?

That is an ever-evolving question for us at the IEHA and we are constantly charged with ‘listening’ to what the energy of the IEHA would like us to do next.

How do we ‘listen’ to what the association needs?

We have an Energy team which is currently made up of eleven members. We meet about once every three weeks with the intention of assisting the IEHA in any way we can. We have found that projects seem to flow ‘through’ members.

What I mean by this, is that a member will suddenly feel inspired to start a project, like Healers Connect, or a book or a conference! The inspired person brings it to the group and we all ‘tune in’. We are curious as a group about how it ‘feels’. We notice if there is excitement, trepidation, a joint feeling of ‘yes’, or not. We hold it without attachment, but with curiosity.

If it feels like a ‘yes’, we get curious about the people who that project is ‘talking’ to. Those are likely to be the people feeling excited by the project. Some will feel strongly drawn to be involved and others will not. We honour that. We allow the energy to do the talking and we try to listen.

This is a much more ‘yin’ way of working than is common in most organisations at present. It is authentic, because we are not doing a project because we will be paid for it, we are doing a project because there is genuine enthusiasm and resonance.

How we work in the energy team aligns with our core values of:

Authenticity – we listen to the energy and authentically express how it lands for each of us

Innovation – we use new ways to run the organisation aligned with energetics.

Collaboration – we bring an initiative to the group, and we collaborate. Every project the IEHA has done has been a collaboration between members.

Contribution – All members of the energy team are there in the spirit of service.

Wisdom – Tuning into the group intelligence and wisdom to move forward in the best way for the group and the association.

The energy team has a regular rotation of membership so that the energy can shift when it needs to.

I hope this has given you some insight into the inner workings of the IEHA. Wherever you are, if you feel called to join us, click on this link to explore different kinds of membership.

Much love from the whole energy team at the IEHA.

What Is Your Attachment Style?

Up until the age of two our brain is growing at a furious rate. The neurons are connecting, and the brain is being wired, literally. In the relationship with our primary care giver (usually the mother) we are being wired for relationship. As children we depend on this person for food, love, understanding and survival, so we adapt out behaviour to suit the situation we are experiencing in that relationship to stay live, fed and loved.

If the mother was not available or inconsistent in their availability or even abusive, the attachment bond that was created is called ‘insecure’. Three distinct insecure styles have been identified by researchers:

Ambivalent / anxious – develops clingy and insecure traits as an adult

Avoidant – develops intimacy issues and can be ‘cold’ as an adult

Disorganised – this is a combination of the two above – flips between being clingy and distancing. Often the result of trauma in the relationship with the mother.

This first relational ‘imprint’ continues into adulthood. We have unconscious expectations that the person we are in an adult intimate relationship with, will behave the same way as our mother did. So, if she was unavailable and cold, we will have an expectation that our needs won’t be met by our partner and there is no point in sharing. We may want to be intimate but have no experience of what that feels and looks like from the inside.

If you read through the list and feel that you fall into one of the three insecurely attached groups and have felt the pain of that attachment style over and over again in your intimate relationships, in your friendships and at work, know that you CAN help yourself.

After our detailed exploration of the four styles we will be looking at practical ways we can rewire our personality for more fulfilling relationships.

You CAN go back and rewire that original attachment to create profound shifts and healing in your adult life. I have seen it happen again and again in therapy, so have hope.

Plant Spirit Ceremonialist Facilitator Training by Shamanic Energy Training

Congratulations to Sharon Bolt of Shamanic Energy Training on becoming the latest IEHA’s Global Accredited Course Provider!  Sharon has been working for over 15 years in the are of Shamanic Energy and has created her own program, Plant Spirit Ceremonialist Facilitator Training, which she is currently offering twice a year in in the UK, Australia and Bali.  Here are Sharon’s own words describing her program.

Congratulations Sharon!

Awaken to Infinite Possibilities, Magic and Mystery in a co-creation journey with Plant Spirits

Learn the art of plant spirit ceremony and shamanic space holding. Spend 7 days immersed in the world of plant spirits, developing and strengthening your relationship with your plant allies.

Learn how to create, organise and run safe, grounded, and high frequency circles and ceremonies. Identify, meet and recruit your own spirit team and learn shamanic protocols to enable you to co-create with them.

Learn the secrets of working with the Spirits of Cacao and Blue Lotus, plus psychic protection master plants; and discover how you can adapt what you learn to work with ANY plant spirit.

This transformational week will change the way you work with plant spirits for life.

We welcome space holders, healers, teachers, facilitators and ceremonialists, who wish to add shamanic and energy principles to their work, and develop an honest relationship with the Plant Spirits, the Plant Devas and their patrons.

The art of mastering ceremonial practice through solid space holding and energy principles is something that is not readily taught.

There are a lot of facilitator trainings to choose from, but many do not teach, or include, space holding and energy principles.

It is assumed people can naturally hold space, but this is actually an art that needs to be cultivated and mastered over years.

One would normally have to learn these skills, and how to work with a Plant Spirit, over a period of several years, via an ongoing apprenticeship.

This retreat, will teach you the foundational principles of shamanic practice and space holding, and provide guidance and feedback on your own efforts; whilst giving you practice and supervision.

You will receive templates for circle, and ceremony work; and be instructed in key foundations for genuine space holding, whilst you learn how to work with the energy in ceremonial space.

This is a unique experience, encompassing the art of space holding, the art of working with plant spirits, managing energy and mastership of ceremonial practice.

Becoming a truly competent Plant Spirit Ceremonialist takes many years of work. The teachings of this workshop are an accumulation of 16 years of personal experience and wisdom from many masters.

To assist you on your journey to becoming a strong Circle facilitator and in time, a Shamanic Ceremonialist, we have created an immersive and potent experience into the deeper workings of the Cacao and Blue Lotus Plant Spirits. Ongoing mentorship and training completes this programme.

More on the teaching team:

Shamanic Energy Training is a unique training programme that combines advanced healing modalities; multiple forms of energy mastership techniques such as Qi Gong; with Shamanism workshops, rituals and ceremonies to help participants develop, and improve, their physical vitality and personal spiritual practice.

This is a Complete System of Energy based training and workshops, addressing many levels of body, mind and spirit, to help you access greater levels of vitality, higher states of consciousness, and expand your awareness to different levels of non-ordinary reality.

The Warrior Energy Training is the foundation for the whole Programme. These Energy training classes train you to build a strong energy core and become sensitive to your own energy system, so that you can start to shift unwanted energies on your own. They also show you how to safely energise yourself, and stay grounded.

The Energy Practices are used to fuel the Shamanic Practices. Shamanic Practice and Healing work can quickly deplete your energy reserves, if you do not have a method or a practice to replenish them. This is the missing ingredient in many healing and shamanic based systems.

Shamanic Energy Training facilitates you to power your own growth and awakening.

The Shamanism Workshops provide a comprehensive system of teachings and experiences to enable energy trainers, therapists, experienced “Intuitives” (witches, psychics and shamanic practitioners); and the newly awakened; a safe and grounded space to develop, hone and acquire intuitive and shamanic skills, combined with an understanding of energy principles.

In many instances we are filling in the gaps left by other systems. For some that will mean, teaching appropriate disciplines, and providing the appropriate energetic templates. Whilst for others, it may mean developing and grounding abilities that are beginning to emerge, as they awaken and increase their vibration. www.shamanicenergytraining.com.au
