The Reiki Principles are so important and intrinsic to the practice of Reiki that they’re engraved on Mikao Usui’s tombstone. In the West, before Usui’s memorial stone was re-discovered and available in English, the Reiki Principles were taught in Western Reiki as instructed by Hawayo Takata. Once the Japanese translations were made, it brought more meaning and depth to working with the Reiki Principles.

Don’t worry if you hear different forms of the Reiki Principles. Teachers from varying Reiki lineages (see Chapter 3) may present the principles in slightly different versions or translations (from the Japanese original). But the meaning of all versions is essentially the same. Use the version that your Reiki teacher provides (see Chapter 7) or a version that resonates with you the best.

The Reiki Principles can be broken down into simple statements describing how to live. The following are from the article “Reiki: Defining a Healing Practice for Nursing” by Kathie Lipinski and Jane Van de Velde, published in the journal Nursing Clinics of North America in December 2020. Just for today:

 Do not anger.

 Do not worry.

 Be grateful.

 Do your work.

 Be kind to others.
