Spiritual Gatekeeping is when a figurehead, teacher or group restricts access to knowledge, information, resources, or opportunities, it suggests that there is a barrier to knowledge, which puts the power and knowledge outside of the individual. A quality psychic, healing or energetic development program will not say that they have your answers or create a co-dependent atmosphere and actually discourage this in favor of self-reliance, self-agency, and a sense of personal autonomy.
