The Six Pillars of practice - let anmals lead®️ method

 Animal Reiki Practitioner Code of Ethics©️ - Let Animals Lead®️

Being rooted in the Six Pillars of Practice, Let Animals Lead®️ animal reiki practitioners' Code of Ethics is centered on respecting and acknowledging animals’ agency and wisdom.

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 animal kind 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. 
• 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.
