This is the last part of our series on Exploring The Reiki Precepts. (Read Part 1 and Part 2). Now have looked at different interpretations of the precepts, it’s time to think about how these might apply in your own life. To help with that, here are some questions to consider:

1. Do you currently live your life consciously? What are the advantages of bringing more consciousness into your daily life?
2. Have you ever replaced conscious living with other activities that were unsupportive of making yourself whole?
3. What ‘rules’ or precepts currently govern the actions that you undertake in your daily life? Take into consideration your interaction with your parents, your colleagues, your friends, your partner, your children, your community and yourself.
4. Are these ‘rules’ relevant to, or supportive of, your lifestyle today?
5. Which of the Reiki precepts do you think is most significant to you at this point in your life? Why?

The Reiki Principles are stated in various ways but the essence remains the same. Here are two versions:-

(a) GOKAI – Encourages you to DEVELOP THE SPIRITUAL AND MENTAL CONNECTION USING GOKAI. IT INCLUDES ‘For today only’ AS ONE OF THE ‘six’ REIKI PRECEPTS

(b) Lists ‘five’ PRECEPTS or ETHICAL PRINCIPLES but EXCLUDES ‘just for today,’ AS A PRECEPT

Precept

(a) For today only
[(b) Just for today]

Thought

Ich-go, ichi-e: One encounter, one opportunity
I am
Tomorrow never arrives
Now

Precept

(a and b) Do not anger

Thought

Wa: harmony
Anger is an out of control emotion
I choose anger
Anger doesn’t express my true thoughts
Anger is often confused with expressing myself
An opposite of anger is balance

Precept

(a and b) Do not worry

Thought

To worry is a reflection of my desire for attention.
Worry is often confused with expressing concern
Worry is a useless emotion that wastes inner Ki and therefore encourages ill health
Worry is a repeated pattern learnt from my parents
Worry is an inability to quieten my mind and experience peace
An opposite of worry is faith
Worry focuses on the past and the future, in the Now there is no time for worry
