The 5 Reiki Principles
Just for today, I will not anger
The human body can store anger and this often accumulates in the sacral chakra area. This is located in the lower abdomen, below the belly button. When we encounter anger or any emotion, it is important to be able to FEEL the emotion. When anger comes along, there are a few things that we can do.
1. Get a pen and paper and write out all of the anger. Get pissed off! Put it all onto the piece of paper, FEEL the angry words as the anger energy comes out of you, and then burn the paper to release that energy.
2. E - motions are simply Energy in Motion. Emotions need to move through us. Another way to get anger out of the body is to punch something - not a person or a wall (don't even go there) - Think of boxing bags or pillows. Punch, scream, swear if you must. Let it all out. This can be done when you're home alone. People don't need to see you getting angry. The idea here is for you to release anger from your body. You don't need an audience for that ;)
3. Another way is to call in your Spirit Team, place your hands over the sacral chakra and ask Reiki to calm any anger for your Highest Will and Good. We'll get further into this as we go along in the course.
Just for today, I will not worry
Abraham Hicks is a group consciousness that is channelled by a lady named Esther Hicks. They say "Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don't want".
Worry can cause imbalanced energy to the body and mind and ultimately, to the reality that one calls life. When we worry, we are focussed on the future. However, the only time we will ever truly be in our Power, is in the present moment. Now.
When you start practising your Reiki, don't worry about if you're doing it wrong, (that's a resistant energy). Just be very present, quiet your mind and enjoy the energy as it flows through you. Get active in the many Support Groups that we have going. Just ask in the comments below. Surround yourself with like-minds. Build yourself up in a positive high vibe environment. Nothing to worry about at all :)

Just for today, I will be grateful
Acknowledge the good things in life no matter how small they might seem. This is a photo of Sammy chilling out during a Reiki and crystal healing session. He is our daughters dog and every morning (when they lived with us), he bounds in to see us as if we haven't seen each other for months. I am so grateful for him and his company.
When we are grateful for something - could be that cup of coffee each morning or simply for waking up . . . we are flowing in the energy of gratitude. Such a humbling energy as you will come to know on a deeper level as your Reiki grows.
Energy flows where attention goes. When we send out the energy of being thankful for something, the Universe sends it right back to us by giving us even more to be grateful for. It's all energy. Gotta love how it works ;)
Just for today, I will do my work honestly
We know when we're not being honest with ourselves. Our inner guidance lets us know by giving us a feeling, a shrug, a mini guilt trip perhaps or a straight to the point snapshot of regret. Be honest with yourself. Honour yourself and honour your life. We are all here for a reason so step up to the plate and follow your heart and your dreams. Be honest with yourself.
For example; If I was to ask you right now, are you doing what you love ?
How does that make you feel? Are you doing what you love?
If you feel great about it because you ARE honestly doing what you love to do - fantastic! High fives all 'round!
But if you had a not-so-good feeling after I asked you that, that's okay. Something to think about anyway. Baby steps right ;) Energy never lies.
Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing
This principle reminds me of the movie "7 Years in Tibet" when they had to rehome the earth worms to build a cinema. I have added a snippet of the video below.
Everyone is going through something. Be kind. Be higher in vibration. What you send out, you will get back.
Kindness is such a beautiful energy. Sprinkle it everywhere.
Let's do a bit of work with one of the principles right now. In the comments below, list 3 things that you are grateful for so far, this week.
Remember, when you're being grateful you're amplifying the opportunity for MORE things to come into your life, that you can be grateful for. It's all energy so work it. Work the energy that you are. What you send out in energy, you will get back!
These are some of the things that Abraham Hicks teaches and this is exactly how energy works. You will begin to notice this more and more as Reiki grows you.
Let us know in the comments below what you are grateful for, before you move on to the next lecture.
