Reiki - Teachings from the HeartTM


Reiki Level I
The Reiki Principles
Life Changes
As Reiki starts to change your life you are also asked to start to integrate the Reiki Principles into your life and live by their wisdom.

Just for Today
Usui's teachings bless us with the concept of living one day at the time. Living up to our highest potential forever seems like a tremendous task. Being the best we can one day at the time is possible for us all.


Just for today I give thanks for my many blessings

By putting the daily focus on the positive happenings we open the door to receiving many blessings. Above all, we can begin by being grateful for the gift of life itself. We then extend our gratitude to our parents by honouring that they did the very best they knew at the time in bringing us up. Further we take our gratitude to all the people who touched our lives.

Just for today I do not worry

Worry is a state of stagnation. We are blocking ourselves by worrying about things that may or may not happen to us or to those close to us. Worry shuts the flow of blessings from the Universe. By changing our attitude we can start to look on every event as an opportunity and possibility.

Just for today I do not anger

Anger and resentment are always a fearful reaction to circumstances. When we come to the understanding that we do create our own reality absolutely we start to allow ourselves to look within and stop blaming others for what we feel. We realize that we created the situation ourselves and that we are dealing with our own issues.

Just for today I am kind to my neighbour and every living thing

Bringing peace to all situations and people becomes our mission. Knowing that the way we treat others we treat ourselves - the way we see others is the way we see ourselves. Expressing loving kindness and compassion (not to be confused with sympathy) we become a shining light, and by shining our light we encourage others to shine their light as well.

Just for today I honour the Oneness/Sacredness of all life

We are separate from no one and nothing. We are all interdependent. Our very thoughts, words and actions ripple off into the universe with effects far beyond our understanding. Everything is interrelated and we are indeed responsible for what we say, think or do, for ourselves, everyone and everything in the whole universe.

Oneness

Imagine a string of light from your heart
connecting you to every other human upon your plane.
Now imagine many strings of light connecting you to every tree,
blade of grass, insect and animal.
From your crown, see a golden thread which goes forth to the stars,
connecting you to every being on every planet of the universes
and all dimensions.
Let that feeling resonate in your heart,
so you will know how it is to be in
non-separation.
