JUST FOR TODAY
I will not anger.
When anger is present, meet it with awareness rather than shame or automatic action.
THE FIVE REIKI PRINCIPLES
Just for today.
The Reiki principles are daily invitations to return to presence. They are contemplative touchstones—not measures of spiritual success, and never rules that must be performed perfectly.
JUST FOR TODAY
I will not worry.
Return from imagined futures to the breath, body, and choices available now.
JUST FOR TODAY
I will be grateful.
Notice what sustains, teaches, or accompanies you without denying what is difficult.
JUST FOR TODAY
I will do my work honestly.
Bring integrity, attention, and care to the work that is yours to do.
JUST FOR TODAY
I will be kind to every living thing.
Let compassion include other beings, the earth, and your own imperfect humanity.
Different Reiki lineages translate these principles in slightly different words. Sarah offers this version as a gentle practice of attention, honesty, gratitude, and kindness.
