DISTANCE REIKI TREATMENT - a Duty of Care
We have a moral, ethical, and spiritual duty (of care) to be open and honest in our distance Reiki practice.
It is of vital importance (as much for our own growth and development, as it is for theirs) that we ask a person whether or not they wish to receive Reiki treatment, before we seek to intervene in their life process.
And when I say “ask”, I mean really ask them: talk to them face-to face, phone them, write to them, text them, skype them, IM them, or whatever.
I do not mean: “mentally ask some potentially fictitious construct of your own ego that you have mistaken for their 'higher self'.”
Actually ask the living, breathing, conscious aspect of their being.
And having asked, accept, honour and respect their choices.
If they do not give their consent, do not act.
For, on one level at least, to act contrary to their conscious wishes, may rightly be perceived by some as a form of 'psychic attack' (and possibly, depending on the particular individual, actually be 'responded' to as such).
