Reiki Code of Ethics
As a Reiki Master I abide by a strict code of ethics.
I promise to:
-
1. Abide by a vow of confidentiality. Any information that is discussed within the context of a Reiki session is confidential.
-
2. Provide a safe and comfortable area for client sessions and work to provide an empowering and supportive environment for clients.
-
3. Always treat clients with the utmost respect and honor.
-
4. Provide a brief description of what happens during a session and what to expect before a client's initial session.
-
5. Be respectful of all other's Reiki views and paths.
-
6. Educate clients on the value of Reiki and explain that sessions do not guarantee a cure, nor are they a substitute for qualified medical or professional care. Reiki is one part of an integrated healing or wellness program.
-
7. Suggest a consultation or referral to qualified licensed professionals (medical doctor, therapist, etc.) when appropriate.
-
8. Never diagnose or prescribe. .Never suggest that the client change prescribed treatment or interfere with treatment of a licensed health care provider.
-
9. Be sensitive to the boundary needs of individual clients.
-
10. Be actively working on my own healing so as to embody and fully express the essence of Reiki in everything that you do.
