The Reiki Principles were originally intended to be chanted in Japanese in the morning and in the evening.

For the purists out there who want to hear or say the Reiki Principles in Japanese, check out www.reiki.org/learn-usui-principles-japanese. Soon you’ll be able to say the Reiki Principles in Japanese by yourself!

Some teachers may ask you to make a promise to uphold the Reiki Principles before or after receiving an attunement, which opens you to the Reiki energy. (See Chapter 7 for more about attunements.) It’s up to you to decide how and when you will use the Reiki Principles in your life.

The first part of the Reiki Principles states “just for today.” Do the best you can to practice these principles today. Tomorrow will be another today for starting over.

Here are some ways to use the Reiki Principles on a daily basis:

 Remind yourself of the principles by reading them silently or aloud and thinking or writing about each of the five Reiki Principles at least once a day. (Learn to recite them in Japanese by consulting the nearby sidebar “Saying it in Japanese.”)

 Post a copy of the Reiki Principles in a prominent place in your home or office.

 Some Reiki people use the Gassho meditation (see Chapter 9), putting the hands in a prayer position in front of the heart, when reciting the Reiki Principles.

The more time and effort you put into the Reiki Principles, the more peace and serenity you’ll find.
