A Workshop & Meditation on Usui's 5 Reiki Precepts

In my Reiki practice, both spiritual healing AND energy healing are integrated in relationship with Reiki. Usui Sensei, one of the founding Master Teachers of the practice of Reiki, designed 5 simple principles to help guide humanity in walking their Heart Path. These Five Reiki Precepts introduce us to what Usui believed to be the gift of Reiki’s endless spiritual journey.

USUI SENSEI’S FIVE REIKI PRECEPTS

The first stage of enlightenment, according to Usui Sensei, is remembering that we are purpose created. Our self-realization begins when we surrender to the flow and guidance of the Universe. Usui Sensei believed that the five precepts are the secret method to invite happiness, and even more, the medicine for all diseases of body and soul. Each precept begins with the statement “just for today,” which presents the importance of being in the present moment, for it is here in the present that we are able to learn what we need to learn and put it into practice.

Now, when we are calling in these precepts, they, like Reiki, are living prayers and have their own energy that they elicit when pronounced and ushered into our minds or by spoken word into the Earth plane. With this in mind, I have created a short Reiki Precept Workshop & Practice in order to explore the sounds of each precept in both English and Japanese. May you approach this practice with an open mind and heart and find authentic ways of weaving this simple and yet powerful practice into your days and weeks.
