Reiki precepts 🙏
These were given by Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki. Think of them as daily reminders to bring you back to nervous system safety
and alignment.
1. Just for today, I will not worry
Worry lives in the future. This precept calls you back to the present.
Practice- Notice anxious thoughts, breathe, and anchor in “just for today.
2. Just for today, I will not be angry
Anger is valid, but living in it drains you.
This is about not letting it run you.
Practice -Feel it in your body, release it, don’t feed the story.
3. Just for today, I will be grateful
Gratitude shifts the nervous system out of lack and into receiving.
Practice- Name 3 things you’re grateful for, even small ones.
4. Just for today, I will do my work honestly
Work = your purpose, your healing, your responsibilities. Show up with integrity.
Practice - Do the next right thing, even when no one’s watching.
5. Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing
Kindness starts with yourself, then extends out.
Practice -Speak to yourself like you would to a client you love.
Because the nervous system can handle 24 hours. It feels safer than “forever.”
Reiki isn’t about perfection. It’s about returning, over and over.
You don’t need to be reiki student or master to practice these precepts.
It's a good way to start your day with intention and daily reminders ✨️ 😊
Morning: Read all 5 out loud + place hands on heart.
Evening: Ask “Which precept did I live today? Which one wants more love tomorrow?”
