Reiki is a healing technique that seeks to promote physical and mental health through the channeling of cosmic energy. According to the story of its creation, Mikao Usui, the founder, began treating sick and needy people on the streets, with great success. However, he feels that many of these people remained in their old habits after healing, without any real transformation within. This highlights the importance of the principles of Reiki, which should be applied not only during the channeling of the energy, but also in our daily lives.
The principles of Reiki represent a philosophy of life which aims to raise our vibratory frequency and attract positive things into our lives. They are: “Just for today I won’t get angry”, “Just for today I won’t worry”, “I will be grateful for my blessings and show humility”, “I will be honest in my work”, and “I will show competence and respect for all living beings”. When a Reiki practitioner incorporates these principles into his daily life, he can unleash the full transformative and creative potential of these teachings.
A key practice for receiving blessings and spiritual healing is to sit in the Gassho position and repeat these principles aloud to yourself every morning and evening. This habit is essential for making these principles part of our lives and transforming our energy and thought patterns, promoting inner and outer healing. This practice benefits not only the practitioner, but also the receiver, because the channeled energy is always for the good of all.
Just for today I won't get angry
The first principle of Reiki, “Just for today, I won’t get angry,” is an important principle for seeking serenity and inner peace in our daily lives. It invites us to cultivate patience and tolerance, learning to deal with situations in a more calm and balanced way. Although anger is a natural emotion when faced with various stressful and challenging situations, allowing it to dominate us can generate a state of tension, anxiety, and even aggressiveness, harming ourselves and others around us.
By adopting the principle “Just for today I won’t get angry”, we commit ourselves to seek calm and balance when facing situations that bother or challenge us. This does not mean repressing our emotions, but learning to deal with them in a more conscious and constructive way. Daily Reiki practice and reflection on the east principle can help us develop the ability to free ourselves from stressful situations and deal with them in a more calm and balanced way.
Learning to deal with negative emotions is a big step in our personal and spiritual evolution, and can be beneficial to our health and emotional well-being. With regular Reiki practice and the incorporation of the Five Principles into our daily lives, we can cultivate inner peace and harmony in our relationship with ourselves and others.

Just for today I don't care
The second principle of Reiki, “just for today, I don’t worry,” is an invitation to live in the present and focus on what we can control now. Reiki believes that excessive worry about the past or the future can divert our attention from the present moment and prevent physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.
Practicing this principle means letting go of worries and fears that can interfere with the ability to focus on the present and perform the necessary healing work. By releasing these worries, the mind and body become more open and receptive to the Reiki energy, allowing healing to take place naturally.
In addition, the second principle of Reiki encourages the practice of gratitude and acceptance of what is, without resistance or judgment. This means that the practitioner must accept life’s challenges and difficulties without resistance, trusting that healing and transformation will occur in due course.
Following this principle can help the Reiki practitioner free himself from the anxiety and emotional stress that can harm health and well-being. Instead, he learns to trust the natural flow of life and focus on the present moment, allowing the Reiki energy to flow freely to promote healing and growth on all levels.
Just for today I am grateful
The third rule of Reiki is “just for today, I am grateful”. Gratitude is a fundamental quality in the practice of Reiki, as it allows the practitioner to be present and aware of the present moment, giving thanks for the blessings they have already received and cultivating joy and inner peace.
By giving thanks, we open our hearts to receive more blessings into our lives. It also helps us to recognize that everything we have in our lives is a gift, and that we should be grateful for every experience that is offered to us, even if it is a difficult lesson to learn.
In the Reiki view, gratitude is a powerful energy that attracts more positive things into our lives. When we are in a state of gratitude, our energy changes and has begun to attract good and positive things to us. In addition, practicing gratitude helps us find meaning and purpose in our lives, which is essential for a full and satisfying life.
The third rule of Reiki invites us to be grateful just for today, and this is important because it allows us to focus on the present and helps us to live fully in the present moment, without worrying about the past or the future. Practicing this rule daily helps cultivate gratitude in our lives, which can lead to a happier and more fulfilled life.
