Living
the Reiki Ideals
By
Robert Plotzke
Reiki
as a path to enlightenment... how can this
be? The Reiki Ideals are the source. Mikao
Usui (Reiki's founder) borrowed the Mejing
emperor's ideals, a code to live by found
in most religions, and incorporated them into
his teachings. What are these ideals?
Just for today... "“I will not
anger,” “I will not worry,”
“I will show gratitude,” “I
will work hard on myself,” “I will
be kind to everything that has life.”
Exploring the depth of these little statements
could and probably should take a lifetime.
“Just
for today I will not anger.”
Not so hard to imagine, choosing not to
anger. Energetically anger can be seen as
spikes of energy coming from one's aura.
When you feel angry, do you stop to realize
all that is really going on in your body and
energy field? Ask yourself “Am I willing
to take responsibility for these outgoing
anger spikes?” Most often anger is a
reaction to fear! When angry, what am I afraid
of? What need do I perceive as unmet; how
do I feel threatened? After identifying the
source of the anger then I can channel that
anger energy into
motivation to face the fear and go through
it with love. Anger then becomes the fuel
for change and growth.
“Just
for today I will not worry.” Worrying
is an incredible waste of energy. If I do
believe in some form of God then why am I
worrying? Do I have faith in the universe,
and am I making a powerful statement saying
so or not? If there is something concerning
me should it be ignored? No, every step necessary
to address the situation should be taken.
Also see the outcome in perfection, offer
up a prayer, write it on a piece of paper
and do Reiki on it. If it surfaces in your
mind, say an affirmation and let it go. Worrying
sends mixed messages to the universe; if you
take the positive steps and then worry chances
are the good intention energy is being canceled
out by the worry energy. When we really are
creators in our own right, when we worry,
what are we creating?
“Just
for today I will be grateful.” Take
the time to say thanks for your blessings.
Yes this includes the tough times, the lessons.
We are the total of all our experiences. Stopping
to give thanks is one of the most powerful
things anyone can do. It sends out such joyous
energy to the universe that we are all uplifted.
A truly happy person feels thankful for everything
and often times they feel blessed. From the
outside looking in, you may see their hardships.
Yet they are genuinely happy. Why? because
they are grateful.
