As Reiki's history has changed, so have the list of Reiki Principles.
For many years, the Reiki principles were passed on as:
Just for today, do not anger. Earn your living honestly. Honor your parents, teachers and elders. Show gratitude to every living thing. As more and more research is done in Japan, more information has come to light. The following lists the Reiki Ideals used by Reiki Masters in Japan today.
From William Rand, International Center for Reiki Training:
"These are the Reiki Ideals used by Reiki masters in Japan. It
was provided by a Japanese Reiki master, Toshitaka Mochizuki in conjunction
with his Reiki book, "Iyashi No Te" (Healing Hands). The following is a line
for line translation starting from the right.
The secret art of inviting happiness Every morning and evening, join your
hands in prayer. Usui Reiki Treatment for the improvement
of body and mind In Reiki Fire, author Frank Arjava Petter quotes from the inscription on Dr. Usui's grave: Reiki not only heals diseases, but also amplifies innate abilities, balances the spirit, makes the body healthy, and thus helps achieve happiness. To teach this to others you should follow the five principles of the Meiji Emperor and contemplate them in your heart. They should be spoken daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. 1) Don't get angry today. The ultimate goal
is to understand the ancient secret method for gaining happiness (Reiki) and
thereby discover an all purpose cure for many ailments. If these principles are
followed you will achieve the great tranquil mind of the ancient sages. To begin
spreading the Reiki system, it is important to start from a place close to you
(yourself), don't start from something distant such as philosophy or logic. My personal principles are shown below. By intent, these are phrased in a positive manner. Instead of the Just for Today approach which to me sends a message of this is hard to do so try to do it for only ONE DAY AT A TIME, I have used the imperative TODAY! With excitement and a knowledge that you CAN do it - TODAY! let us follow these principles. TODAY!Respect All. ra ehnani sel ly mwi titu My Principles Widely Known Principles New information on Reiki Principles
