The Five Reiki Principles are spiritual and behavioral guidelines rooted in Zen Buddhism and introduced to the practice of the Usui Reiki Healing Method by its founder Mikao Usui. He described the practice of these guidelines as "The secret law to invite happiness and blessings, the spiritual medicine against all illnesses”.

These principles are fundamental ethical guidelines for practitioners and seekers of spiritual growth. 

1. Just for Today, I will be grateful:

This principle reminds us to practice gratitude for all the blessings and experiences in our lives. Gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to what we already have, bringing contentment and abundance into our awareness. Being grateful for even the simplest things can transform our perspective and enhance our overall well-being.

​

2. Just for Today, I will not worry:

This principle teaches us to live in the present and let go of unnecessary worries about the future. Instead of dwelling on anxieties, we are encouraged to trust in the flow of life and have faith that things will unfold as they should. It reminds us that excessive worrying only robs us of the joy and serenity available to us in the present moment.

3. Just for Today, I will not be angry:

This principle invites us to release anger and resentment from our hearts. It encourages us to let go of negative emotions that hinder our well-being and the well-being of others. By practicing forgiveness and compassion, we can cultivate a peaceful and harmonious state of mind.

4. Just for Today, I will do my work honestly:

This principle emphasizes the importance of integrity and authenticity in our actions and dealings with others. It encourages us to be honest and true to ourselves and to approach our work and responsibilities with diligence and sincerity. By doing so, we can build trust, respect, and a sense of purpose in our lives.

5. Just for Today, I will be kind to every living thing:

This principle promotes kindness, compassion, and respect towards all beings, including ourselves, animals, and the environment. It reminds us of our interconnectedness and the ripple effect our actions can have on the world around us. Cultivating kindness brings harmony and love into our lives and the lives of others.

By embracing these principles "Just for Today," we simplify our journey towards self-improvement and spiritual growth. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by long-term commitments, we focus on making positive changes in our thoughts and behaviors each day. Gradually, these small changes accumulate, leading to a more fulfilling and purposeful life. 

Remember that Reiki is not just a healing modality; it's a way of living mindfully and compassionately.
