The enfolding path Reiki offered me

Reiki is a system that is build upon five pillars. One of them are the precepts. These took their roots from Buddhist teachings and do play an important part of the system of Reiki. This is one of the translations and I use this one myself. There are variations which happened due to translating Japanese writing style from the turn of the 19 th century to modern English. FOR TODAY ONLY, DO NOT ANGER, DO NOT WORRY, BE HUMBLE, BE HONEST IN YOUR WORK, BE COMPASSIONATE TO YOURSELF AS YOU ARE TO OTHERS. F or today only means just that . To be present, to be in the here and know. We are conditioned to live in the past or worry about tomorrow. Both do not exist. Both are created to keep you stuck. For today only…… be present. Do not anger, for anger is an illusion. Anger arises when something is either triggering us, or we feel we are not in control of something – or someone. Anger is not an emotion but the manifestation of energy which has its root anchored in fear. Control is fear based. Anger is explosive – but ask yourself why you are angry? What is the underlying issue here? Always ask yourself, “why do I feel this or feel like this?” Do not worry, we spend a lot of time worrying about but and if. We worry about tomorrow. What needs and must be done to avoid a negative situation. A situation which may or may not happen. Who says that you will be given another day to live? Why worry about something you have absolutely no control over? This is the conditioning we were all subjected to. Be humble, what this means is that you do not do the healing, you are the channel. No more – no less. Being humble means you don’t get arrogant and big headed. You see others as a reflection of yourself. What you see in another resides inside of you. Be honest in your work, be honest to yourself. Accept that you are perfect in yourimperfection. Do the best you can be and stay true to yourself. What is your truth, or your true nature. Be honest in all you do. And do it with love and kindness. Be Compassionate to yourself as you are to others when guilt and shame arise, remember this; you did the best you could do with the knowledge you had at that time. And so did the other party. Our level of awareness and consciousness varies from person to person. What is your level of awareness, the evolutionary level of your own Soul? Living life, whether it’s a good or bad life, is the adventure of your own Soul. Life is about the evolution and growth of your Soul. The remembering that you are the infinitive divine spirit, having a human experience. To remember that you are powerful, that you can create the life of your dreams, and that at your core level you are love. That everything is connected, that all is the same creative life force energy. Everything is energy, every thought and emotion is energy. Emotions is energy in motion, created of your thoughts. Hence being mindful in all you do. That is why we meditate, that is why Reiki works so well. It does give you the tools you need to help yourself to become who you were meant to be. The layers, conditioning and false beliefs are falling away. With time and practice you start to change your perception; you’re understanding of yourself changes. You start to grow on all level. Emotional maturity follows, clarity of thoughts materialises, the connection to your core essence grows stronger over time. You respond more and more instead of reacting. The layers and false beliefs fall away. I see it in myself. I am most definitely not the person I was 2 or three years ago. The precepts are taught at Reiki Level 1. The student is encouraged to use them at least twice a day for ten to 15minutes. You use them like a mantra and meditate on the precepts. To pay attention to what arises while working with the precepts. What is moving? What feelings and sensation do you feel? What memories or trauma is rising to the surface of the conscious mind? Emotions buried deep inside of yourself are finding their way up to be felt, seen, and accepted. The precepts stay the same throughout all the Reiki levels. You may stop of a short time to then start again. The journey home to self is ongoing. The Reiki system gives you all the tools you need for your journey. To be used as and when you need them.
