Reiki Ethics for professional practice
PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT:
Reiki practitioners conduct themselves in a professional and ethical manner, perform only those services for which they are qualified, and represent their education, certification, professional affiliations and other qualifications honestly. They do not in any way profess to practice medicine or psychotherapy, unless licensed by their province or country to do so.
HEALTH HISTORY AND REFERRALS:
Reiki practitioners keep accurate client records, including profiles of the body mind health history. They discuss any problem areas that may contraindicate use of Reiki, and refer clients to appropriate medical or psychological professionals when indicated. (I do not actually know of any conditions that contraindicate use of Reiki )(not all practitioners do keep detailed health type records those who follow a clinical practice model do, others who practice in a less formal way may not keep detailed records or any records at all)
PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE:
Reiki practitioners pay close attention to cleanliness and professional appearance of self and clothing, of linens and equipment, and of the office environment in general. They endeavor to provide a relaxing atmosphere, giving attention to reasonable scheduling and clarity about fees.
COMMUNICATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY:
Reiki practitioners maintain clear and honest communications with their clients, and keep all client information, whether medical or personal, strictly confidential. They clearly disclose techniques used, appropriately identifying each in the scope of their professional practice.
INTENTION AND TRUST:
Reiki practitioners are encouraged to clarify their intention to facilitate therapeutic change of a holistic nature, and to develop the ability to focus mindfully on the Body mind Self. To establish and maintain trust in the client relationship, they are encouraged to ask caring questions about the client's well-being, and to establish clear boundaries and an atmosphere of safety.
RESPECT OF CLIENTS:
Reiki practitioners respect the client's physical/emotional state, and do not abuse clients through actions, words or silence, nor take advantage of the therapeutic relationship. They in no way participate in sexual activity with a client. They consider the client's comfort zone for touch and for degree of pressure, and honor the client's requests as much as possible within personal, professional and ethical limits. They acknowledge the inherent worth and individuality of each person and therefore do not unjustly discriminate against clients or colleagues.
PROFESSIONAL INTEGRITY:
Reiki practitioners present Reiki in a professional and compassionate manner, representing themselves and their practice accurately and ethically. They conduct their business honestly, and do not give fraudulent information, nor misrepresent themselves to students or clients, nor act in a manner derogatory to the nature and positive intention of Reiki.
AWARENESS:
Reiki practitioners refrain from abuse of alcohol and drugs. These substances should not be used at all during professional activities.
PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE:
Reiki practitioners strive for professional excellence through regular assessment of personal and professional strengths and weaknesses, and by continued education and training.
EQUALITY:
All Reiki practitioners of the same level should be treated as equals without regard to their initiating master or their belief system. All Reiki Teacher/Masters should be treated as equals without regard to their initiating Master or their membership (or lack of membership) of any body or association.
STUDENT RIGHTS:
Reiki Teachers respect each student's right to choose their own healing path and their initiating master.
TEACHER'S RESPONSIBILITIES:
All Reiki Teachers should present only the information handed down from Mikao Usui through the Japanese lineage's. Any use of other material should be clearly introduced as such.-
