Taking responsibility for your own life and your own healing is a vital part of the Reiki philosophy. The five precepts of Reiki were taught by Dr. Usui as reminders to help people aid their self-healing by adopting a positive mental attitude. He developed the precepts after he observed that the beggars he had treated had returned to living on the streets of Kyoto. This made him realize that people need to be more than simply passive recipients of a healing process if it is to have long-term results.
A RECIPE FOR POSITIVE LIVING
The five precepts of Reiki are vital components of a fulfilled life and each one is intended to be followed on a daily basis. They encourage us to believe that even small steps can make a difference to our happiness and well-being. The precepts are produced here in the form of affirmations or reminders:
Just for today, stop worrying: just for today, my mind is easy.
Just for today, do not get angry: just for today, I am at peace.
Earn an honest living: I earn my living honestly, doing no harm to anyone, or anything, nor harming the environment.
Honor everyone you meet: I honor my parents, elders, teachers, children, friends and myself.
Show gratitude to every living thing: I give thanks to all living things and all situations, whatever they may be, for their valuable lessons in growth and understanding.
FIRST PRECEPT
DO NOT WORRY
To release yourself from worry or anxiety is the first precept. Worry and anxiety are understandable
Human responses to various situations, but it is a fact that worry never improved any situation or exerted a positive influence over its outcome. Worry brings with it fear and blocks your emotions as well as your hopes for the future. It is helpful to think about what you can do, rather than what you can't. if you release yourself from even some of your worries, you will notice a growing sense of calm..
THE EFFECTS OF WORRY
When we are worried or anxious, our bodies produce a rush of adrenaline. This provides the energy for the basic survival acts of flight or fight. However, the way we live today means that we rarely need to use this energy, and it can do our bodies more harm than good. The short- and long-term effects of worry and anxiety include breathlessness, headaches, chronic stress, back pain, fatigue, digestive problems, and blocked arteries.
