The Reiki Principles
as interpreted within Reiki Jin Kei Do

 

 

Usui's original Japanese Reiki Principles

 

 

The version of the Reiki Principles given here were written down by Ranga Premaratna and were based on his own understanding of Reiki and meditation, but also after discussion with Seiji Takamori on their deeper meaning. Whilst the exact words therefore may not be Seiji's, their intent and philosophic orientation certainly is. So the version of the Reiki Principles given here are fundamentally those taught by Seiji Takamori and which I believe have in some ways a stronger resonance with not only the deeper meaning of Usui's original Principles than many other versions now available, but also they contain a method, if you will, to realize them in one's own life.

Be mindful each moment of your day:

To observe the arising of greed, anger and delusion, looking deeper for their true cause.

To appreciate the gift of life and be compassionate to all beings.

To find the right livelihood and be honest in your work.

To see within the ever changing nature of your mind and body.

To merge with the universal nature of the mind as Reiki flows within you.

By following these Reiki Ideals daily, your mind and body will truly transform with the power of Reiki.
