What are the laws in Virginia regarding "right to touch" for energy practitioners such as those practicing Reiki?
Answer
I know of no particular laws in the Virginia Criminal Code which relate
to or reference this particular matter.
In the Commonwealth the crime of battery is generally defined as an unprivileged touching of one's body by another for which no consent has been given. Assuming that in the practice referenced the "touchee" is a mentally competent adult who has in fact given his or her consent to being touched for this purpose, I don't see how there could be any laws against it (in my
opinion).
