Reiki Principles

The Reiki healing system utilizes Reiki energy specifically, combined with the practitioner’s intent to heal. In keeping with this, there are six Reiki guidelines adhered to by each practitioner, who ideally repeats them daily. Combined, these principles help to generate the consciousness in the practitioner which most powerfully supports their ability to channel Reiki energy on behalf of the recipients. While there are several variations on those principles, I offer the following as a most simple, pure expression of the desired consciousness.

Just for today, I will not worry.

Just for today, I will not be angry,

Just for today, I will live honestly,

Just for today, I will respect the oneness of all life,

Just for today, I will be kind to everyone I meet.

Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings.

In reviewing these simple principles, it becomes clear that their seeming simplicity is able to generate a profound shift in one’s emotional, psychological and mental states, thus achieving the consciousness which powerfully opens the gift of Reiki.
