The Reiki Precepts: Finding Purpose & Gratitude

With Keziah Gibbons

"Just for today, do not anger. Just for today, do not worry. Just for today, be humble. Just for today, be honest. Just for today, be compassionate." The Reiki precepts are an excellent set of maxims for those with Reiki and non-Reiki backgrounds alike. In this course, we gently explore the precepts and how everybody, even the busiest among us or those who are new to spiritual self-exploration, can apply them in everyday life. Your tutor is Keziah Gibbons, Insight Timer teacher, Reiki and Reiki drum master, and author of the book "Living the Reiki Precepts". A background in Reiki is not required to take this course.

Lesson 1

Introducing: The Reiki Precepts

Today we take our first look at the Reiki precepts, including a brief introduction to what Reiki is, its practice, and history. You'll also hear part of Keziah's Reiki story and the events which led her to a healing path.

Lesson 2

Interpreting The Precepts

The Reiki precepts seem to shapeshift, sometimes subtly, sometimes radically, as they pass from teacher to teacher, culture to culture, language to language, and individual to individual. Today we explore those shifts and find the key essence to each principle and the precepts as an entire practice before examining how you can personally get the most out of the precepts.

Lesson 3

Just For Today

More than just a frame for the other precepts, "Just for Today" and its message of mindfulness and intentionality is at the core of Reiki practice and the precepts. Today, we dive into these themes in a way that is relevant and meaningful for you.

Lesson 4

Do Not Anger

Anger is a word we use to describe a broad range of emotions and states. In today's lesson, we ask whether it is possible to live without anger, whether it is desirable to do so, and in what way we can integrate our emotions to act with purpose, rather than react with volatility.

Lesson 5

Do Not Worry

"My life has been full of terrible misfortunes, most of which never happened." Just like Michel Montaigne, we've all had those moments where our minds told us vivid and unpleasant stories about possible futures. Today, we'll work with worry and find practical and realistic ways to release inappropriate fears.

Lesson 6

Be Grateful (Be Humble)

Modern research tells us what the wise have always known: Gratitude is good for you. Today we will feel the relationship between gratitude, humility, and you - and put it into practice with a powerful exercise.

read more

Lesson 7

Be Honest

Be honest, act with integrity, be true. Today is all about showing up in the world with and from your highest purpose as we explore your values and truths.

Lesson 8

Be Compassionate

Compassion is co-passion. It is shared passion; shared meaning. It's also about kindness. Today we will tune in to other people, create compassionate relationships, and spread kindness throughout the world.

read more

Lesson 9

Self-Compassion

Compassion is not complete if you're not sharing it with yourself. Yet for many, this remains a challenge. Today, give yourself permission to give and receive self-compassion, self-acceptance, self-love, and self-care.

Lesson 10

Reiki Precepts And Your Life

Today we bring together everything we've developed over the past 10 days and work on a plan for you to take this forward - in your own personal practice and in the gifts you share with the world.

I have taken several of Keziahs courses and with each one have experienced so much wisdom and tools that help me embody my values more and more. In this course, she articulates the wisdom of the reiki precepts in a way that deeply resonates with me and brought this resonance to my conscious mind. Thank you so much

Wonderful course in its honesty and helpfulness on explaining and suggesting exercises to practice of the Reiki precepts. I also loved the meditations, in particular the one of lesson 9. All the course is a blessing, due mainly to Keziah being so kind and genuine in passing her knowledge. I'm very grateful 🙏

I have been a Reiki Master in the Usui lineage since 1999, yet starting in ‘02, myriad things began to dominate my focus. Since around 2020, I began to bring my focus back. While I believe, “Once attuned, always attuned,” I joined in a couple of Keziah’s live sessions for group attunement for the sake of feeling the Reiki community energy, and found the experience renewing of my heart-soul connection to my Reiki path. Now, this course has given me a deeper, sweeter connection to the precepts. It is a highly valuable course for the general public, as well as for attuned practitioners. Thank you, Keziah, for sharing your gifts.

Thank you Keziah for sharing your knowledge and your life journey. After completing Reiki level 1 in India 15 years ago, I'd drifted away from my practice. This course has inspired me to rediscover myself. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for this course! I am preparing for Reiki ll training and so deepening my connection with and understanding of reiki. This course presents the precepts in a beautiful, visual, yet simple and applicable way. Your voice and delivery are beautiful ☺️ Often I feel overwhelmed by the details of so many ways to practice. This feels like bringing it back to basics; not over- complicating, yet also bringing a deepness in. I’m also enjoying some of your other meditations and guided practices too. Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much for this course Keziah. I was reiki 2 attuned when I started it and had my reiki master training lined up so I have been doing the course alongside that. I am now a reiki master practitioner as I completed it this weekend. I was a little reluctant after the first couple of days of your course as felt I should be doing something more advanced but there was something about going back to basics, sitting with the simplicity of the precepts that really opened me up to the energy. Thank you again and I will now start one of your other courses to keep the momentum going ✨🙏🏻
