Reiki Precepts

Today we take our first look at the Reiki Precepts, including a very short introduction

to what Reiki is, its practice and history. You'll also hear part of Keziah's Reiki story,

and the events which led her to the healing path.

The Reiki Precepts seem to shape shift, sometimes subtly, sometimes radically, as

they pass from teacher to teacher, culture to culture, language to language, individual

to individual. Today we explore those shifts and find the key essence to each

principle and the Precepts as a whole practice, before thinking about how you

personally can get the most our of the Precepts.

More than just a frame for the other precepts, "Just for Today" and its message of mindfulness and intentionality is at the core of Reiki practice and the Precepts. Today, we dive into these themes in a way that is relevant and meaningful for you.

"Anger" is a word we use to describe a broad range of emotions and states. In today's lesson, we ask whether it is possible to live without anger, whether it is desirable to do so, and in what way we can integrate our emotions to act with purpose, rather than react with volatility.

"My life has been full of terrible misfortunes, most of which never happened." Just like Michel Montaigne, we've all had those moments where our minds told us vivid and unpleasant stories about possible futures. Today, we'll work with worry and find practical and realistic ways to release inappropriate fears.

Modern research tells us what the wise have always known - gratitude is good for you. Today we feel out the relationship between gratitude, humility, and you - and put it into practice with a powerful exercise.

Be honest, act with integrity, be true. Today is all about showing up in the world with and from your highest purpose, as we explore your values and truths.

Compassion is co-passion: shared passion; shared meaning. And it's also about kindness. Today we let's tune into other people, create compassionate relationships, and spread kindness throughout the world.

Compassion is not complete if you're not sharing it with yourself. Yet for many this remains a challenge. Today, give yourself permission to give and receive self-compassion, self-acceptance, self-love and self-care.

Today we bring together everything we've developed over the past ten days, and work on a plan for you to take this forward - in your own, personal practice, and in the gifts you share with the world.
