Animal Reiki Practitioner Code of Ethics
Camille Pukay, Animal Reiki Practitioner
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
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 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
distance 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.
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 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.
