The Code of Ethics by Dario Canil
Sobriety, Professionalism, and Competence in the Practice and Teaching of Reiki
«Experience has taught me that only those consciences that are already awake, in any case, allow themselves to be called and refined. Some consider themselves perfect merely because they are less demanding of themselves. I believe I am not responsible for the meaning or absurdity of life; rather, I am responsible for what I personally do with my own unique and unrepeatable life.»
(Hermann Hesse)
THE CODE OF ETHICS
BY DARIO CANIL
Every Reiki teacher may, if they wish, align themselves with the following Code of Ethics. The Reiki and Shamanism teacher Dario Canil:
- Respects and values all practitioners and Reiki Masters, regardless of their lineage or affiliation with any organization.
- Refrains from making negative statements about other practitioners or Reiki Masters unless there is concrete evidence of behavior that deviates from the spirit of Reiki.
- Actively works to create harmony and friendly cooperation among all Reiki Masters and practitioners of energy and bio-natural disciplines, regardless of their lineage or affiliation with any organization.
- Encourages each teacher who feels resonance with this form to adopt the "free and responsible equivalent value" for attunement seminars at various Reiki levels (1st, 2nd, and 3A), allowing the Reiki student to freely decide the value for what they have received. The Tolteca Holistic Center reminds that it is not the energy that should be compensated, as it is a gift from the universe, but it is fair to give value to the time, training, and availability of the Reiki Master.
- Authorizes the teachers trained by him to train other Reiki Masters only after 36 months (from the date of their own Master diploma) of proven experience in conducting seminars, to protect the method and the people who approach it.
- Encourages all students to follow their inner guidance (intuition and common sense) when deciding from whom to receive bio-natural treatments or with whom to study Reiki, including the possibility of studying with more than one teacher.
- Openly encourages all of his clients and students to do their best with the Reiki program that their psychic sensitivity invites them to follow.
- Always works to help his clients and students recognize and utilize their own self-healing power, encouraging their personal growth and the development of Reiki practice and other natural disciplines, stimulating their ability to make autonomous and informed decisions.
- Treats his clients and students with the utmost respect. He never engages in any illegal or immoral activities with them. He maintains professionalism during treatments and does not ask clients to undress, nor does he make comments, innuendos, or references of a sexual nature.
- Abstains from the use of drugs or strong alcohol before and during (and preferably after) any practice of energy and bio-natural disciplines.
- Does not misrepresent what will be offered during his Reiki sessions or any seminars of Reiki (or other energy and bio-natural disciplines).
- Practices truthfulness in his advertising. He is available to openly discuss with any potential client or student the topics that will be covered during the seminar, the expected equivalent value, and the necessary time. Advertisements should state what the student will be able to do after completing the proposed seminars.
- Does not use in his seminars any material covered by someone else's copyright without having obtained the necessary written permission (for the Tolteca Holistic Center, the logos and writings of Tolteca Holistic Center, Free Reiki School, Mana Shamanism School, and Advanced Karuna® Reiki Method are reserved).
- Is open to continuous updating and improvement of his qualifications, preparation, training, experiences, and professional skills.
- Actively works on his own awareness and psycho-physical balance so as to fully embody and express the essence of Reiki and other energy and bio-natural disciplines in everything he does.
- Carves out daily time for introspection, meditation, energy treatments, and connecting with nature and the dimension of silence. He takes care of his diet and rest, as well as his mental, emotional, and spiritual serenity.
- Explains to clients and students the values of energy and bio-natural disciplines and Reiki (which are independent of any religion) and clarifies that these methods do not offer absolute guarantees of effectiveness in treatments as there are too many variables at play, and they are not substitutes for any medical or psychological treatment. He also explains that these methods are formidable means of supporting any ongoing official treatment, as well as excellent means of prevention and natural balance.
- Acknowledges that energy and bio-natural disciplines and Reiki work in conjunction with other types of medical and psychological care. If a client has a medical or psychological condition, in addition to providing energy and bio-natural treatments, he invites them to consult a qualified healthcare professional if they have not already done so.
- Never makes medical or psychological diagnoses, nor prescribes or suggests medications.
- Never suggests to a client or student to change or discontinue the use of substances prescribed by authorized healthcare professionals and encourages every student to follow the same behavior with those receiving their treatments.
- Always acts with heart, love, respect, humility, compassion, availability, and honesty toward himself and others.
- The Tolteca Holistic Center, the Free Reiki School, and Dario Canil hope that every Reiki teacher and every bio-natural energy practitioner from any School will always operate with loyalty, honesty, and a spirit of renewal, and they wish every future student of the Reiki Method to find exactly the most appropriate teacher for their journey.
