Code of Ethics
Developed by Kathleen Prasad, Founder of Animal Reiki Source
Guiding Principles:
-
I believe the animals are equal partners in the healing process.
-
I honor the animals as being not only my clients, but also my
teachers in the journey of healing.
-
I understand that all animals have physical, mental, emotional and
spiritual aspects, to which Reiki can bring profound healing
responses.
-
I believe that bringing Reiki to the human/animal relationship is
transformational to 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 on myself, I follow these practices:
-
I incorporate the Five Reiki Precepts into my daily life and Reiki
practice.
-
I commit myself to a daily practice of self-healing and spiritual
development so that I can be a clear and strong channel for healing
energy.
-
I nurture a belief in the sacred nature of all beings, and in the
value and depth of animalkind as our partners on this planet.
-
I listen to the wisdom of my heart, remembering that we are all
One.
In working in the community, I hold the following goals:
-
I model the values of partnership, compassion, humility,
gentleness and gratitude in my life and with the animals, teaching by
example.
-
I work to create professional alliances and cooperative
relationships with other Reiki practitioners/teachers, animal
health-care providers and animal welfare organizations in my
community.
-
I strive to educate my community in its understanding of the
benefits of Reiki for animals.
-
I continually educate myself to maintain and enhance my
professional competence so that I uphold the integrity of the
profession.
-
I consider myself an ally to the veterinary and animal health
community. I work to support their efforts in achieving animal
wellness and balance. I honor other disciplines and their
practitioners.
In working with the human companions of the animals, I will:
-
Share information before the treatment about my healing
philosophy, the Reiki healing system and what to expect in a typical
treatment, as well as possible outcomes, including the possibility of
healing reactions.
-
Provide a clear policy ahead of time regarding fees, length of
treatment and cancellation policy, as well as "postponement" policy,
should the animal not want the treatment that day.
-
Never diagnose. I will always refer clients to a licensed
veterinarian when appropriate.
-
Honor the privacy of the animals and their human companions.
-
Share intuition received during Reiki treatments, with compassion
and humility, for the purpose of supporting their understanding of the
healing process.
-
Respect the human companion's right to choose the animal's healing
journey, selecting the methods, both holistic and/or conventional that
he or she deems most appropriate, with the support and advice of a
trusted veterinarian.
In working with the animals, I follow these guidelines:
-
I work in partnership with the animal.
-
I always ask permission of the animal before beginning, and
respect his or her decision to accept or 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;
thus each treatment could be a combination of hands-on, short distance
and/or distant healing, depending on the animal's preference.
-
I let go of my expectations about how the treatment should
progress and/or how the animal should behave during the treatment, and
simply trust Reiki.
-
I accept the results of the treatment without judgment and with
gratitude toward Reiki and the animal's openness and participation in
the process.
