These principles form the foundation of Reiki, encouraging us to live a life of peace and harmony, thereby creating healing of the self and becoming clear and powerful conduits for Reiki energy. These principles do not apply only to Reiki practitioners; they can be followed by everyone.

There are many different translations of the 5 Principles, but all pretty much say the same thing:

Just for today, I will not be angry
Just for today, I will not be worried
Just for today, I will be grateful
Just for today, I will live my life honestly
Just for today, I will be kind to others

I encourage you to choose one of the Reiki Principles each day and live by it.

Today, don’t be angry. Words spoken in anger can never be taken back. Look at that which has caused anger, and find a calmer, more healing way to express your feelings.

Today, don’t be worried. Let go of that which you cannot control. Worry will not resolve the situation, it will only drain you of energy.

Today, be grateful. Life has its ups and downs, yet it is always a miracle. Showing gratitude for what you have allows more abundance to enter your life.

Today, live honestly. It is vital to your own well-being to be honest with yourself, to live from that place of truth within. Do the best you can do today, without a hidden agenda.

Today, be kind to others. Treat every living being, human and non-human alike, with respect and consideration.

If you are not yet a Reiki practitioner, you might want to think about taking the Reiki I class I’m offering on August 22!

More and more hospitals across the country are offering Reiki and/or other alternative healing modalities to their patients. As life becomes more stressful, people are looking for ways to manage stress, relieve the physical symptoms of a life out of balance, and do so in a natural, holistic way. They are turning to Reiki. What is Reiki?

Reiki is based on an ancient system of healing  many thousands of years old. The Usui System of Reiki Healing was founded in the early 1900s by Dr. Mikao Usui and involves three levels, each with its own set of attunements (“attunement” means that your energy is raised to the higher frequency of the Reiki energy). Reiki involves the transfer of energy from practitioner to patient to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself through the balancing of energy. Reiki utilizes specific techniques for restoring and balancing the natural life force energy within the body. It is a holistic, natural, hands-on energy healing system that touches on all levels: body, mind, and spirit.

If you feel you are ready to open up to Reiki, you’ll be interested in the Reiki I class I’m offering:

REIKI I
In the Level 1 class, you will be introduced to the history and general principles of Reiki, will learn the basic hand positions for treatment, and will practice using Reiki on others in the class. You will receive the Level I attunement that will open up your physical body to become a channel for the Reiki energy and prepare you to become a Reiki practitioner. This class is for anyone wanting to learn about Reiki, become a Reiki practitioner, or work towards becoming a Reiki Master.
