• The ability to learn Reiki is not dependant on intellectual capacity, nor does one have to be able to mediate. It does not take years of practice. It is simply passed on from teacher to student during the attunement process. As soon as this happens, one has and can do Reiki. Thus it is easily learned by anyone.
• Reiki is a pure form of healing and not dependent on individual talent or acquired ability. Because of this, the personality of the healer is less likely to cloud the significance of the experience. The feeling of being connected to the Universe's healing love and protection is clearly apparent.

CODE of PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

THE PRACTITIONER AGREES TO:

• Abide by a vow of confidentiality. Any information that is discussed within the context of a Reiki session is confidential between the client and the Practitioner.
• Provide a safe and comfortable area for client sessions and work to provide an empowering and supportive environment for clients.
• Always treat clients with the utmost respect and honor.
• Provide a brief oral or written description of what happens during a session and what to expect before a client's initial session.
• Be respectful of all others' Reiki views and paths.
• 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.
• Suggest a consultation or referral to qualified licensed professionals (i.e., medical doctor, social worker, licensed therapist, etc.) when appropriate.
• Never diagnose or prescribe. Never suggest that the client change prescribed treatment or interfere with the treatment of a licensed care provider.
• Never ask clients to disrobe (unless in the context of a licensed message therapy session). Be sensitive to the boundary needs of individual clients. Do not touch the genital area or breasts. Practice hands off healing of these areas if treatment is needed.
• Be actively working on your own healing so as to embody and fully express the essence of Reiki in everything that you do.

• Provide a comfortable area for classes and work to provide an empowering and supportive environment for students.
• Always treat your students with the utmost respect and honor. It is an honor and a privilege to share Reiki with them.

• Be willing to discuss the proportion or time spent on each subject in class and the amount of practice time available.
• Be respectful of all others' Reiki views and paths.
• Be working to create harmony and friendly co-operation between Reiki Practitioners and Masters in the community.
• Act as a beacon within Reiki and in your community by doing the best job possible.
• Work to empower your students to heal themselves and to encourage and assist them in the development of their work with Reiki or their Reiki practices.
• Be sensitive to the boundary needs of individual students.
• Be actively working on your own healing so as to embody and fully express the essence of Reiki in everything that you do.
