Thank you for your responses, it seems that The Attorney General has indicated that in order to legally practice reiki in Florida you must have a massage license. The Florida Health Freedom Coalition is working hard to pass legislation exempting reiki from this requirement. We shall see what happens.
I have been told by a Reiki master that for one to practice reiki without a massage therapy license the only way is to become a Reiki Master and then hold your own Reiki circle and suggest "love donations", other than that you cannot ask money for the therapy. At one time one could become an ordained minister and practice but that has been ruled out now. Those that did this in the past were grand-fathered in and still practice under that title.
