The Five Reiki Principles
By Dr Mikao Usui
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 over years, but it cannot remove the residue of current anger which occurs daily.
Letting go of anger brings Peace into the Mind.
2. Just for today, I will not worry.
While anger deals with past and present events, worry deals with future ones. Although worry is not always a negative phenomina, endless worries may fill one’s head and each one bores a small hole in one’s body and soul. While anger requires a focused Reiki treatment to remove obstacles, worry requires the energy to be spread throughout the entire body.
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 in this principle. Simple things such as saying thanks, showing forgiveness, smiling, using kind words, showing gratitude etc. can improve others lives and makes them feel happy.
Being thankful brings Joy into the Spirit.
4. Just for today, I will work honestly.
Support yourself and your family respectably, without harming others. Earn a respectable living, live a life of honour.
Working with Honesty brings Abundance into the Soul.
5. Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.
Honour your parents, honour your teachers, honour your elders.
Being Kind brings Love into the Soul.
