    Working with the Five Reiki
    Precepts or Principles

    Just for today


    Before the first of the precepts, we center in the present moment, knowing that each day we can
    start anew - or each hour, or with each breath.

    I will not cultivate anger


    Long before we reach the precipice of anger, we have taken many steps on the path of irritation,
    annoyance, blame, criticism, judgment, opposition, conflict and more - often in the blink of an eye!

    While it's not realistic to expect to never be angry, we can work on choosing to feed this energy less
    and less with our thoughts, feelings and actions, reserving it for times of genuine alarm or peril.

    I will not cultivate worry


    Worry is simply not the way to solve problems, though it's natural to have concerns. Worry can also
    show up as anxiety, fear, nerves and nervousness, obsessive thinking, mistrust and even
    procrastination. Worry cuts us off from our Higher Wisdom, intuition and Divine Guidance.

    I will cultivate gratitude


    We can cultivate gratitude by being thankful for the blessings we have and enjoy, and then go even
    further to be thankful for blessings we can't even see, opportunities that have yet to arise, and even
    thinks we don't like, affirming that there is a gift for us in them as well.

    I will do my inner and outer work


    Our work is both the jobs we do in our households and communities and also our personal self-care
    and practice of self-development. Both are equally important and ideally support one another.

    I will cultivate compassion


    Compassion practice begins with ourselves and extends to all others. Compassion can gentle the
    fiercest worry and clear the way for healing in any situation.

    Each day you can repeat the precepts with the same words or write down words that arise for you.

    Working with the Five Reiki
    Precepts or Principles

    Bringing the Precepts alive


    These are ideals that we can strive toward, a direction to move in as we journey through life, not a
    pass/fail test, ever. We can always do better, as we learn more so don't be too discouraged if you
    feel you fall short. It's part of the process. The more we practice, the more adept we become - at
    anything, including living by these beautiful principles that form the foundation of the Reiki system.

    Exploring each precept in practice


    The first two precepts are stated in the negative, telling us not to do something. That leaves the
    door open for us to consider what we might do instead, and transform avoidance into proactive
    affirmations. What can you practice instead of anger and worry, in all their forms?

    I will not cultivate anger. Instead...


    Some alternatives are to seek peace, to listen to the messages of our anger and irritation with
    compassion, to create safe space, to soothe inflamed egos and overloaded nervous systems. What
    are some practices you use to do these things, or what other alternatives to anger, etc. can you
    think of?

    I will not cultivate worry. Instead...


    When we find ourselves starting to worry or our anxiety level increases, we can remember we have
    other options, and they'll be easier to implement if we've already been contemplating and practicing
    them regularly. We can always open to Divine guidance and intuition, do some calming exercises.
    What are some other alternatives to worry that can disrupt your looping thought patterns or help
    you stay out of the quicksand of despair?

    Next we come to the positive qualities we want to enhance and expand in ourselves.

    We can be grateful for specific things, and we can also cultivate an attitude of gratitude in general,
    as an approach to all of life, more and more. Gratitude opens our minds to see opportunities and
    encourages our hearts to be joyful.

    I will cultivate gratitude by...

    Rather than going in their original order, let's skip next to another quality we can strengthen every
    day with mindful attention.

    Compassion begins with ourselves, being gentle and forgiving, kind and encouraging to ourselves,
    then extending this gracious demeanor to others we care about, and eventually to everyone.

    I will cultivate compassion by...

    Finally let's embrace our hard work and soft work, our inner and outer work. This can be our Reiki
    practice, spiritual practice, day job, work in the community, business, caring for family - many
    different expressions of our ability, potential, creativity, caring, productivity, service and devotion.

    How I embrace my work and practice...
