Reiki Principles

In the practice of Reiki, we follow principles prescribed by the Meiji Emperor.

We use five principles:
> no anger
> no worries
> be appreciative
> be diligent
> be kind

> No anger means to let go of the past and not to be emotionally attached to any of the situations that you have already encountered in your life.
> No worries means to stop worrying about the future and to take your mind out of the many situations that you might encounter in your future life.
> Being appreciative means to be present to your situation at this moment and to fully accept and cherish it right now.
> Being diligent means to honor every moment and everything that you do when you experience it.
> Being kind means to be non-hurtful and supportive in a mild way in order to further all of life’s expressions.

The first two of these principles deal with letting go of the past and the future respectively.

The other three principles deal with the moment in which you live your life. They give you pointers of how to interact with people and things that you come across on your daily journey.
