The Australian Reiki Connection made a submission directly to the MBA, objecting to their proposal.

Threat to regulate the practice of Reiki and other modalities in USA

There is a threat to introduce legislation in 8 states (MA, NC, TN, FL, MS, AZ, OR, NY) in 2021 that would require licensure and certification of holistic energy practitioners and teachers.

​

 The threat is coming from the private sector, organizations which stand to benefit by controlling from whom you can receive treatment, from whom you can learn Reiki, how you practice professionally, and what you teach. That control can be gained by manipulating state governments that write licensing laws, ostensibly to protect the public from harm.

​

In Australia  Reiki Practitioners and Teachers would not be affected were such a law be passed, however, we should be alert to the possibility that such proposals could be put to our Government. Therefore it is imperative for Reiki Associations like the Australian Reiki Connection (ARC) to maintain high standards and codes of practice for  members. 

​

ARC has been a proactive leader in setting standards for and the only Reiki Association to introduce Criteria for the Teaching of the Usui System of Reiki for our teaching members. 

 

Let us send Reiki to all organizations and individuals preparing to address this situation in the United States.
