Code of Animal Reiki Ethics
Guiding Principles:
• I understand that all animals have physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects to which Reiki can bring profound healing responses.
• I believe the animals themselves participate in their healing process.
• I honor the animal as being not only my client, but also my teacher in the journey of healing.
• I believe that bringing Reiki to the human/animal relationship transforms the human view of the animal kingdom.
• I dedicate myself to the virtues of humility, integrity, compassion, and gratitude in my Reiki practice.
In working with the animals, I also follow these guidelines:
* I always ask permission from the animal before sharing Reiki, and respect his or her decision to acceptor refuse any treatment. I listen intuitively and observe the animal's body language in determining the response.
* I allow each animal to choose how to receive his or her treatment; each treatment could be a combination of hands-on, short distance and/or distant healing.
* I work in partnership with my animal.
* I let go of my expectations about how the treatment should effect my animal.
* I trust my animal and Reiki.
* I accept the results of the treatment without judgment.
* I am grateful for Reiki and my animal's openness to participate in the treatment.
Please feel free to contact me personally with any questions or concerns that you may have regarding Reiki care for your animal.
