Advocating for Better Protections for Energy Healing in Massachusetts

The world needs a whole lot of people who care a lot.

A number of us Spiritual Guides and Energy Healers from Modern Mystery School Boston spent the afternoon at the Massachusetts State House in downton Boston testifying to make sure that people in Massachusetts continue to have access to energy healing and other forms of complimentary, holistic, and alternative healing.

We are particularly grateful to Representative Donald Wong for his ongoing leadership and support on these issues.

For many years now, bills keep getting (re)introduced to create unnecessary and prohibitive licensing schemes for a whole range of healing modalities, cultural practices, spiritual practices, and religious practices.

The bills get introduced under the auspices of protecting people from sex trafficking, yet somehow fail to incorporate any of the MA interagency findings on how to actually stop sex trafficking (none of these recommendations have anything to do with regulating healing work).

Do I like taking a day to go to the State House?

Actually, yes, getting involved in the nitty gritty of policy making is one of the most important ways you can be patriotic there is no one day when this is convenient, but it is SO important. I continue to be inspired by our democracy and what’s possible.

If you find yourself complaining about politics, please get involved at the state house. You may be surprised by what you find.

If you care about this work please:

1. Contact your representative and your senator to let them know that this isn’t ok

2. Message me and I will send you the details for contacting the professional licensure committee members to submit your opposition
