An original Reiki Principles print of Usui Sensei
The original print of Reiki principles contains more than the five principles. The opening lines described what Reiki could bring into out lives: "The secret art of bringing happiness, The panacea of all diseases". While these words focus on the outcome, the deeper meaning is that Reiki is the way to help us restore our natural resonance with the universe and Reiki energy.
The five principles guide us towards living a better life and become a better being. Through daily Reiki practice and applying the five principles in our life, we can graduatly return to a state of health happiness and harmony.
Just for today,
🔹Do not get angry
🔹Do not worry
🔹Be grateful
🔹Work diligently
🔹Be kind to others
There is another spiritual teaching mentioned in Reiki which is preserved in Tradition Japanese Reiki - Anshin (安心) Ritsumei (立命). It made up of four Japanese Kanji characters, consists of two parts that can be explained seperately for easier understanding:
🔹"Anshin" means ease of mind, the inner peacefulness and stillness.
🔹"Ritsumei" means the establishment of life path or self-actualisation.
We are all born with an innate state of health and happiness. However, as human beings, we are easily affected by the experiences and influences of the world around us. These disturbances can weaken our natural resonance with the universe and Reiki, contributing to illness, imbalance, and misfortune.
Usui Sensei gifted us Reiki as a path to restore our original state of harmony with the universe. Through consistent daily practice and by living according to the principles of Reiki, we can return to the right path and ultimately attain Anshin Ritsumei.
