The Reiki Principles


Just for today, do not worry
Just for today, do not anger
Count your many blessings
Do your work honestly
Be kind to everything that has life


Expanding on the Reiki Principles
(there are many variations)

Just for today do not worry

If you cannot do something about a problem there is no point worrying about it.
If you can do something about a problem do it and then you will have no cause to worry.
When we worry, we may forget that we are connected with the energy of universal love.
The more we allow that energy to flow through us the more we become open to experience ourselves as part of a safe and loving universe.


Just for today I will not anger
This does not mean to keep anger bottled up inside or to pretend that it isn't there.  But do not let anger consume you.  When you can look at the situation that you react to with anger, you can often uncover information about yourself and your expectations.

Count your many blessings
Take stock of the good things in your life.  Try writing a list.  Include not just those things of monetary value, but those things that are beyond gold, such as our families, friends, the roof over our head, our health, our freedom.
Take a moment or two to imagine life without them.
Another few moments considering others less fortunate than oneself can be very focusing.

Do your work honestly
What would you do if someone overcharged you or you were not given the correct change?  How would you feel?
What would you do if you found a walled conaining money?
How would you feel if you lost your wallet?
How easy do you find it to tell a fib or a lie?
How easy do you find it to withhold information and in so doing be misleading?
How would you feel if someone took something that you had created, and profited from it without giving you anything?
The feeling of achievement that can be experienced when a good day's work has been done is hard to better.

(the older meaning of this principle meant that you should work to improve yourself and in doing so you benefit both yourself and others around you.  We cannot change others, yet by changing ourselves we can affect others.)

Be kind to everything that has life
This includes our planet, our environment, all creatures, fellow humans - all colours and creeds and don't forget yourself too.
Being aware of ourselves as part of an interconnected whole and understanding that what we put into life is what returns to us. When we are not worrying or being angry and are grateful for our life and work we will naturally be kind.  The repeated call Just for Today reminds us to live in the present.

Wishing you heaven in your heart, starlight in your soul and miracles in your life.
