The International Association of Reiki Professionals (IARP)

by Linda Laflamme

I want to let people know about an organization that is setup to help all Reiki people. The IARP, was founded under the belief that, "Together, we can do so much more." We connect a global network of dynamic, talented Reiki people through annual global events, free local events, networking and more. The IARP also sponsors the Professional Registry which helps to establish a professional base of Reiki Practitioners and Masters internationally and gives a voice to the Reiki community. This is especially needed in these days of proposed legislation.

The Professional Registry is open to all Reiki Masters and Practitioners. Those in the Registry have agreed to abide by a code of ethics, enjoy professional recognition, receive a handsome wall certificate and are included in our Referral Service Program. The referral service can be accessed online at our website.

Please visit the IARP website at http://www.iarp.org or you may call us in the U.S. at (781) 729-3530. Those affiliated with the International Center for Reiki Training (those who are reading this newsletter) will receive a 10% discount on the membership fee when you join through 9/30/99.

The IARP four-fold mission:

1. To provide a forum to encourage support, partnership, connection and working together (physically or in spirit) among Reiki Masters and Practitioners throughout the world.

2. To anticipate and prepare for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead for the community.

3. To partner with our healing profession communities in raising awareness of Reiki and in spreading the joy of Reiki.

4. To promote personal and spiritual growth as well as professional development.
