The 5 Reiki Principles: A Treasure for Inner Strength
The 5 Reiki Principles are powerful affirmations that, when practiced daily, help center our energy, strengthen our core, and align our life with peace and harmony. Whether you meditate on them each morning or simply say them aloud upon waking, these principles slowly transform your perspective, reducing the influence of external triggers.
By connecting each principle to specific chakras and simply placing your hands on them, you can deepen your practice and amplify its effects. Hold your hands in place or focus on each chakra for about a minute—or as long as feels right to you.
1. Just for Today, I Will Not Worry
Root & Heart Chakras
This principle grounds you in the present moment, reducing anxiety and uncertainty. Visualize your root chakra anchoring you to stability, while your heart chakra opens to trust and love.
2. Just for Today, I Will Not Be Angry
Root & Third Eye Chakras
Release destructive emotions that disrupt your inner peace. Let your root chakra provide stability while your third eye chakra fosters clarity and understanding, helping you let go of anger with grace.
3. Just for Today, I Will Do My Work Honestly
Solar Plexus & Third Eye Chakras
This principle invites integrity and balance into your actions. Focus on the solar plexus chakra for confidence and the third eye chakra for wisdom to guide your efforts with honesty and alignment.
4. Just for Today, I Will Give Thanks for My Many Blessings
Third Eye & Crown Chakras
Gratitude is a transformative force. Activate your third eye for awareness and your crown chakra at the base of your scalp for spiritual connection. Recognize the abundance already present in your life.
5. Just for Today, I Will Be Kind to My Neighbor and Every Living Thing
Throat, Heart & Root Chakras
Kindness starts with communication and compassion. Engage your throat chakra to express kindness, your heart chakra to give it genuinely, and your root chakra to ground it in your actions.
By incorporating these principles into your daily routine, you'll develop a strong, unshakable core and develop harmony with yourself and the world. I'm happy to share this gem with you—may it inspire you to live a life of balance, gratitude, and kindness.
