Reiki

Spiritually guided life-force energy

Just for today, do not anger.
Do not worry, and be filled with gratitude.
Devote yourself to your work.
Be kind to all people.

We are further advised:

Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer.
Pray these words in your heart and chant these words with your mouth.

[In other words, you might want to recite the precepts, in order to remind yourself of the inner work which allows us to be present in the here-and-now, where healing can happen.]

Reiki was originally a system of personal spiritual growth, exemplified by the precepts of the Meiji Emperor. Dr. Usui, the originator of the Reiki system that was passed on to me, called these “the secret art of inviting blessings, the spiritual medicine of all diseases:”

The practice of Reiki does not require belief in any system of religion; rather, it requires a willingness to put aside the desires of our ego and allow healing to take place.
