So what is Reiki? Reiki is a form of energetic healing originating from Usui Mikau's teachings. The basic premise is this, A practitioner or a Reiki master like myself will gently place their hands upon an affected part of someone's body or just above. And channel universal life force energy through themselves into the person. The practitioner, The Reiki master, Is not the one doing the healing. They are just a channel for the life force energy to come through. The idea is that this energy fills up the practitioner, The healer, And then it comes through them into the other person. If you receive a Reiki healing, You can expect to feel relaxed. Balanced. Focused and over time gradually start to heal. There are five traditional principles of Reiki or rather precepts. Just for today. I will not worry. Just for today, I will not anger. Just for today, I will be grateful. Just for today, I will do my work with integrity. Just for today I will be kind to myself and others. The idea of these principles. Comes or the importance of them are in the words just for today or really it could be just for this moment. Because this moment is all we have. In this moment I will not be angry, I will not be anxious, I will be grateful, I will be kind and I will do my work with integrity. Because all we can do is work with this moment. The past has happened. We have been, We have done, We have existed in the way we have. The future will come. But just for today, Just for this moment, We can be kind. We can release our anger. We can work with integrity. We can be the person that we want to be. So when combined with the healing. These principles give us a way to exist in the world. Connected to universal energy. Connected to this moment.
