Read about Reiki ethical code for Reiki healers.
All Reiki healers must follow the Reiki ethical code
that has been laid out for them. The Reiki ethical code lays out what
the relationship between the practitioner and the client. It is a code
of conduct that the practitioner should follow with his patient at all
times. Violating it would amount to breech of trust between the healer
and the patient. Given below is a brief description of the ethical code
for Reiki healer:
- Practice must be conducted with confidentiality and great
discretion. Practitioner-client confidentiality must be maintained
at all costs. Anything that is discussed between the two should not
be disclosed.
- Personal details of the client should not be revealed, unless the
client himself has given you permission to do so. The Reiki healer
should not disclose or confirm the fact that a particular person is
a client, unless he has prior permission and the consent of the
client to do so.
- Client sessions should be held in a secure and comfortable place.
- The place where the sessions are held should have an environment
that is supportive and empowering.
- At all times treat the client with great respect and honor.
- Before the healer begins a Reiki session, he should give the
client an oral or written description of what he will experience
during the session. He should to the client what is going to happen
before and after the session.
- A healer must respect the opinion, views and methods followed by
other Reiki practitioners. It is entirely up to the healer concerned
to decide whether he wants to learn from other healers or wants to
follow their methods. But there should be no fault with the way he
practices Reiki.
- The healer should teach the clients the value of Reiki and
explain to them that the sessions do not guarantee complete healing
or complete recuperation.
- Practitioner should inform the client that Reiki is not
replacement for medical care. He should explain that it is important
for the over all well-being of the person.
- The healer should find out whether the client is undergoing any
medical treatment. If the practitioner thinks that a client requires
professional medical attention then he should suggest to the client
that he gets it. Reiki is a supplement to medical treatment and
therefore the practitioner should be aware of any medical history of
the client.
- The healer should never prescribe treatment to the client or
interfere with on going medical treatment.
- The healer should not tell the client to disrobe unless he is
also a legally licensed massage therapist in the country in which he
practices. He should never touch the genital area or breasts. To
treat these areas he should only practice hands-off techniques.
- A healer should work on his own healing so as to embody and
express the essence of Reiki in everything they do.
