Listing the Reiki Principles

Putting the Reiki Principles into practice

Checking out other versions of the Reiki Principles

The five Reiki Principles form the cornerstone of what’s essentially a Reiki spiritual practice. All branches of Reiki derived from Mikao Usui’s teachings (see Chapter 3) use some version of the Reiki Principles. They may be called Reiki Principles, Reiki Precepts, Reiki Ideals, or Reiki Gokai (in Japanese). These statements are used as guidelines to right living and spiritual development. When you use the Reiki Principles, you’re following directly in the footsteps of Mikao Usui. In this chapter, I describe the Reiki Principles: what they are and how to use them.

When you study Reiki, you’ll learn about and start practicing the Reiki Principles. It’s not enough to read the Reiki Principles and just turn the page. To get the full benefit and value of Reiki, aim to live by the Reiki Principles. Don’t worry — they express universal truths that any religion would approve.
