The 5th Reiki Boundary Is Integrity, or Don’t Make Promises You Can’t Keep

Don’t Practice Outside Your Scope of Practice.

• Don’t write checks you can’t cash!
• Don’t make promises about what Reiki can do or what someone will experience.
• Have integrity.

This has long been my personal definition of the word:

Integrity is what you do when no one else is watching.

What This Means For Practicing Reiki

People want an amazing spiritual experience with Reiki. They want a burning bush moment, to see colors, and to have visions.

But in life, and Reiki, you don’t get what you want — you get what you need.

I don’t make promises I can’t deliver on. I tell you you’re going to feel relaxed, maybe fall asleep, and enjoy experiencing your meditative zone.

Anything above that? Awesome!

It’s Nice to be Pleasantly Surprised by What Transpires in a Reiki Session.

This respects Reiki and the experience of others whom you’re sharing it with. Let people have the space to experience and interpret Reiki as they may — without your influence, bias, or promises made.

This is freedom.

It also takes the pressure off of you for having to “provide” a certain experience or “make good” on a certain expectation.
