I am learning more about Reiki and preparing to take classes about this healing art. So far I am loving it and what it stands for. I will be blogging more about it soon.
Just for today (Kyo dake wa):
Don’t get angry (Okoru na)
Don’t worry (Shinpai su na)
Be grateful (Kansha shite)
Work hard (Gyo wo hage me)
Be kind to others (Hito ni shinsetsu ni)
— Mikao Usui O’Sensei
I really like this page at the Reiki Threshold for a good definition of how you should read the 5 concepts and how you can implement them yourself. O’Sensei was a Buddhist and you can clearly see that reflected in his statement.
He wanted his followers to chant this as a prayer, as a manta, thinking about it mindfully. Sitting in gassho, that is with your hands in prayer.
Live in the Now as anger and worry are useless, be Grateful, have a Right Livelihood and be Compassionate.
Sounds like the Eightfold Path was his model.
