The
Principles of Reiki
Fundamentally Reiki involves channeling the
Universal life force or the cosmic force into the body, it is much more
effective if the practitioner is emotionally and ethically healthy.
Keeping these requirements in mind. Dr. Usui developed five principles
of Reiki:
- Just for today I will live the attitude of gratitude:
To live in gratitude is to live in abundance. When we keep dwelling
on what we don’t have we continue to experience of not having.
One must live in a state of gratitude, consciously appreciating and
thanking the many blessings of life. It helps in transforming
negative attitudes into positive ones.
- Just for today, I will not worry:
Negative thoughts indicate a lack of faith in Searchd and hinder
the outcome of our efforts. Live each day to the best of your
ability, and surrender yourself to the Higher Self. A positive frame
of mind, makes the situations appear far better than they would
otherwise be.
- Just for today I will not be angry:
Anger comes up when there is a fear, when one starts feeling
helpless and out of control. The best way to handle it is not to
repress it but rather by feeling it fully and becoming fully aware
of our actions to others and thereby, over a period of time learning
to master our emotions. Persons who know and have developed the
ability to handle anger, have made their lives happy.
- Just for today I will do my work honestly:
Doing the work honestly and facing the truth in all things brings a
peace of mind and calmness which can transform the person and raise
his self-esteem.
- Just for today I will be kind to my neighbour and every
living thing:
To help in healing the whole world and developing a loving
atmosphere, we must show respect to all living things.
