Assistance Requested for Professional Research

[Guest guest]

A long email - ...

 

I've been a member of this group for a number of months. I've not been able

to contribute as much or as often as I have wanted due to time constraints

relative to work and school time comittments. This is finally starting to

shift as In addition to being a Reiki Master and crystal therapist, I am

also a Sexologist and Licensed therapist (20+ years) in private practice. I

am presently in a PhD program in human sexuality and looking at the healing

energies of crystals in relationship to sexual awareness, expression and

healing.

 

I have what might be considered a very unusual request to make of the

members of the group. I am required to conduct a standard piece of

research as part of my Ph.D. program at the Institute for the Advanced Study

of Human Sexuality (www.iashs.edu) . I am looking for people who study and

work with crystals for personal and/or professional healing and are willing

to fill out a questionnaire about their sexual behaviors and attitudes.

This survey is ANONYMOUS and should take you about 8-10 minutes to complete.

 

The questionnaire was designed in 1984 by the Institute and continues to be

used today in its original form as part of an ongoing longitudinal study

being done by the Institute. The questions are sexual in nature and have

nothing directly to do with crystals. However, because of the nature of the

overall research I'm doing as well as my longterm interest and intentions to

integrate crystals in the therapeutic work I do, drawing information from

crystal lightworkers is relevant and important and will be incorporated into

the overall work I am doing in the area of crystal therapy and human

sexuality.

 

The questionnaire is posted online and can be accessed at my

www.thesexcoach.com/research/ssp.html. I was not able to post the profile

on my esoteric websites due to coding problems with forms and lack of time

in trying to figure out how to correct the error messages I was getting (I'm

not web design savvy although I do all of my own website work).

 

The questionnaire will be posted through December 8 at which time the

results will be tabulated and a research paper generated. Again, all

information is confidential. The name of the groups from which I draw

research participants will not be used in any identifying form. The form is

designed to provide no identifying information on the part of the

participant in the completion of the form or in the transmission and

collection of the data.

 

I appreciate the time you've taken to read this email and my thanks in

advance to those of you who choose to participate in this research project.

 

If you have questions or comments regarding this email request or anything

having to do with the research, please contact me privately by email.

 

Namaste,

Jennifer
