THE FIVE PRINCIPLES OF REIKI 1. JUST FOR TODAY I WILL TRUST.
All things happen in accordance with divine will. I will listen to my I Am Presence, my Higher Self, and allow my life and work to unfold within God's plan. To worry is to be unsure of God's part in our lives. If we listen to our inner voice, we will grow. Let's acknowledge our place in the plan on earth and go forward in love and compassion.
2. JUST FOR TODAY I SHALL WORK HONESTLY
I love myself enough to know that my actions effect others. Doing one's work honestly means being truthful to one's self. If we create harmony in ourselves, we help to create harmony in the world. If we co-create love and balance, we will have it in our own lives. See the confrontations in life as lessons from God, giving us the chance to learn. To be spiritual is to be conscious of the needs of the self and the needs of others. Mastery comes from honest effort in our daily lives.
3. JUST FOR TODAY I SHALL ACCEPT MY BLESSINGS
This means that I will look at my life and see what I really have. The key to having what you really need is visualisation. Most don't realise that what you think is what you get! Learn to think in a constructive manner and bring into your life the energy you really need. If you think light, all will be bright. If you think dark thoughts, all will become dark. Allow your Higher Selves to tell you what you need. We are the light of God on the planet, allow it to manifest through you in truth, beauty, harmony, love and abundance.
4. JUST FOR TODAY I WILL BE AT PEACE
To be angry is to be controlled. It is an unwillingness to see what you don't like about yourself. Anger is limiting and brings physical and emotional afflictions. Energy is life and if you are angry this anger gets into food, houses, etc and all living forms within our universe. It must be transmuted into love and balance. Smile and receive a smile. Love will radiate love in return. Think Pink! This is the colour of love.
5. JUST FOR TODAY I WILL RESPECT ALL LIFE
We have been given everything we need to live in harmony and respect. Until we respect and love ourselves, we cannot respect and love others and be in harmony with the divine plan. Our world is full of technology that allows us communication, but do we truly communicate with others, in love and respect? We are so busy with our individual lives that we don't take time to even "smell the flowers". Most people don't respect life. If they did they would not indulge in the destruction of species and the killing of their brothers and sisters. We as healers are instruments of the divine plan, and must show others the way forward in love and compassion. The Earth is a living, loving, being. We must understand this and help her to again become whole. Humankind have abused their Mother, the Earth, and we must facilitate Her healing. Through this we will all become whole.
