Just for today...

The 5 reiki principles by Dr. Mikao Usui

Working with these 5 principles has been such a positive force in my life and was essential in helping me through some very trying times. They have also supported me to stay on an honest path, continue to grow and heal, help others and always see the light through the darkness. If you feel like working with all of the principles in a single sitting feels overwhelming, try meditating on just one that resonates with you at the beginning of each morning. It can set the tone for the day and aid in changing any negative patterns that might have been developed through out the years. Give it a try!

1 – Just for today, I will not be angry.

Anger at others or oneself or at the whole world, creates serious blockages in one’s energy. It is the most complex inner enemy. Reiki is an excellent tool to remove anger blockages which have accumulated in the body. Letting go of anger brings peace into the mind.

2 – Just for today, I will not worry.

Endless worries may fill one’s head, and each one bores a small hole in one’s body and soul. Letting go of worry, brings healing to the body.

3 – Just for today, I will be grateful.

Be grateful from your heart. Inner intention is the important element of this principle. Simple things as thanks, forgiveness, smile, good words, gratitude can improve others life and make them happy. Being thankful brings joy into the spirit.

4 – Just for today, I will do my work honestly:

Support yourself and your family respectably, without harming others.

5 – Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.

Honor your parents, honor your teachers, honor your elders and honor yourself. Being kind brings love into the the world.
