The Reiki Principles

Dr Usui realised that Reiki was not just about healing the other, but also creating the right environment for them to heal themselves. When initiated into Reiki there are guidelines that are taught, and if these are adapted they can promote healing and awareness on many levels.

Reiki is not just another healing method. It’s a way of life. And it’s about understanding and living by these principals. If everyone did this, we would have a much better world to live in. Try taking one each day and live by it, understanding it’s meaning, implication and place in your life.

JUST FOR TODAY I WILL LET GO OF ANGER
Anger is an emotion that is experienced because of the past and it can often be suppressed and carried through life.
This principal does not say do not anger tomorrow, but rather just for today - choose to let your anger go, live in the now and not the past.

JUST FOR TODAY I WILL LET GO OF WORRY
Worry is related to perceptions of the future, the ‘what if’s of the world. What if this will or will not happen. But what purpose does this serve? Why worry about that which has not yet taken place and probably will not happen anyway. Live in the now and not the future.

JUST FOR TODAY I WILL GIVE THANKS FOR MY MANY BLESSINGS
(HONOUR YOUR PARENTS, TEACHERS AND ELDERS)
There are many that believe that before we incarnate we choose our parents, our children and experiences, and that these are there to help us with our learning. If we don’t honour our choice then it’s the Self that is being denied. Live in the now and appreciate life.

JUST FOR TODAY I WILL DO MY WORK HONESTLY
We have chosen our path in advance according to the lessons that we need and it includes our work. To honour brings satisfaction, value and respect of what we do today. Not yesterday, or tomorrow, but today.

JUST FOR TODAY I WILL BE KIND TO EVERY LIVING THING
(SHOW GRATITUDE TO EVERY LIVING THING)
We are all part of the whole. We are not better or lesser, but just part of it. We are all linked. Any cruelty towards another human, animal, plant, rock or even a thought form, is showing cruelty to your self. And that is showing cruelty to all that exists.

QUOTATION FROM PHYLLIS FURUMOTO

Each degree or step of The Usui System is designed for deeper self-knowledge, deeper sense of responsibility, deeper wisdom and acknowledgement of self-empowerment. The levels are not designed to give the practitioner or student more healing ability nor more power.

The master gives the student nothing that he or she does not already have, nor does the master take away anything that is not already absent.

This is the gift.
