REIKI

‘Let us set aside our outdated sectarian views and look to the essence of what we are practicing in place of the outward forms which our minds are so attached which we place so much misguided importance.’
� Mikao Usui
THE REIKI PRINCIPLES
There are five training principles which were adopted by Usui from the Meiji Emperor, these precepts hold within them many teachings and ways with which to strengthen our spiritual practice in daily life.
These should not be considered rules that we need to obey, but rather, meditations worthy of contemplation. In considering these ideals and questioning our personal relationship to these simple principles we have another way to check in with ourselves. In coming back to Usui’s teachings, we can align where we are at any given moment.
As suggested in the original manuscripts, these principles should be spoken once in the morning and once in the evening.
