Code of Ethics
Animal Reiki Practitioner 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, 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
humanity's 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.
