In the Australian state of New South Wales, a 41-year-old woman - Maria Williams - was arrested for accepting thousands of dollars from people for offering "spiritual cleansing" and "energy restoration" services.
He introduced himself as a "psychologist" and a "purifier of bad energy." He addressed clients through Telegram and Facebook, promising them "to open paths to success" and "to recover from illness."
Within a few months, Maria's "mental sessions" turned into a real business: each client was paid from $500 to $5,000. However, according to the police, he did not have a certificate or psychological education.
According to the investigation results, Maria, taking advantage of people's trustworthiness, deceived them with the practice of "cleansing their souls" and spent the money on personal needs. The court refused to release him on bail a second time.
Spiritual service or a risky belief?
Such cases are increasing not only in Australia, but throughout the world. On the Internet, there are more and more people who call themselves "energy specialists," "aura cleaners," or "karma correction coaches." They exploit a person's mental state, stress, and anxiety, turning them into financial slaves.
The biggest victim in such activities is the person they trust. Especially women, during periods of life problems or emotional distress, strive to find solace through "seans." However, in many cases, they become victims and prey to such "psychologists."
A question arises: it's no secret that we too have seen an increase in such "psychogeneticists" and "aura purifiers." Everyone knows the danger of playing with people's psyche through unscientific services. It has long been on the agenda that the time has come to regulate the sphere by law. In particular, in Uzbekistan, "gene cleaning" and "soul studies" businesses are flourishing.
Similarly, the "Gold Therapy" clinic, which promoted illusive ideas and received 30-40 thousand dollars by promising to "clean" people's brains, was exposed, and criminal proceedings were initiated against them. Such "therapies" are increasing, and the weakness of measures against them can be considered one of the reasons for the flourishing of this activity.
