The Five Principles Of Reiki Mikao Usui Discussed

Just for today (Kyo Dakewa)

This first and simple principle, which includes the other five and can also be practiced as one, connects directly to the essence of our existence now. Just for today, just for the moment ... from there our practice becomes renewed at every moment, without carrying any ballast of the past or a project focused on the future illusory. What we do, that we are here live at the moment, and focus that's really the foundation of our practice: land planted to bear fruit by itself.

In the Zen Buddhist meditation schools' insistence on bringing attention to the present moment our mind is a fundamental premise, because only in this way our mind can live what is real and leave behind projected their fantasies and illusions. Live this moment, do what you have to do just for today, without seeking anything more than what you find at this moment: yourself, here and now.

Do not be angry (Ikaruna)

It is common in our human nature to feel pleasure at every turn or rejection of things, when they embraced us immediately like we do not end, lasting fragrance in order to feed our ego and desires. But when things do not like the complete opposite reaction will seek to get rid of it, separating the object that we created such bad feeling. We continually move in this circle of affection and often disaffected and angry at us a sense of frustration, that is, when something bothers us or is intensively than originally desired. Therefore, Usui speaks in its principles of this fundamental premise, invites us not to fall into the trap of the ego that forces us to be driven by a negative feeling of frustration.

Things are as they are occurring and have occurred and spiritual wisdom always accept invites have to be, to detach, therefore, the outcome of the actions, whether pleasant or unpleasant, and, as stated above, living in the present moment without intentions or expectations, or, if anything we do, accept, accept things as they always have to be. It is useless to resist the natural forces of life, like a river, carry their own power, want us or not.

Do not worry (Shinpai Suna)

What good is concerned? The same prefix ('pre') indicates that we do something 'before' time and therefore is not done at the right time. If you worry, you will no longer necessarily take care of what really matters right now. You shall live projecting your mind to something that does not exist, that is not here, and this will generate great anxiety and uncertainty. The reason for concern is the pursuit of security, something we do every moment. Whenever the mind acts seeks to preserve itself, to feel safe. The present moment is not of the mind but of consciousness. The mind is cast by the ego, the yosoidad, complacency. If you care, leave aside what you are. As the Buddha preached lies in finding just the middle of everything. Do not worry is not "worry" in a radical way, which we largely negate our ability to function before the world.

Too much concern, as a total lack, is, like everything in life, what needs to be addressed. Gradually, from this middle or middle course of things, we realize that we must begin to trust the world as it is, yesterday, today and tomorrow things have been, are and will be as they should be. Not bear the disproportionate burden of wanting to do all things dependent on our actions, we settled worry that idea: "I have to do this is very important, if not ..." And that's too much. We release the load we are used to carry around and learn to trust life, to get carried away by his incessant flow naturally and walk with her in harmony.

Do not worry, because there is no tomorrow, and what you're worried, of course, does not exist. Live your life, your life is your life forever no matter what happens, if you trust it, that has to happen will be best for you at all times.

Be grateful (Kansha Shite)

Great premise it. Feeling gratitude for the things we receive is without doubt the most humble mark of our virtue. If we look at life in all its breadth transparent we realize that everything effortlessly is a continuous receive: receive the breath of breath, sight, smell, emotions, a sunrise bird song. We are made as a vessel ready to receive the water that fills. No doubt there is another side of the coin, inherent reciprocity, for the receipt is delivery, and vice versa. We received the inspiration air and return it to Earth, on the exhale. Being grateful is also something natural, something we do every time, often unconsciously, to return the air that we have collected: When you become aware of this act of gratitude becomes a feeling of love. Giving is receiving.

In the spiritual currents often speaks of the 'grace' of the divine gift that means nothing to feel a deep gratitude sacred, as a result of being in harmony and communion with life, universal energy, God, etc.. The ability to be thankful is a wonderful gift, because what we do is to love what you have, feel inside the fortunes of this love we receive, whether in a hug, a word of comfort for an unforgettable one, ie, things everyday life, those details that teach us to open ourselves to receive love. Thank often as politeness without stopping to think or feel the value of receiving such tokens of affection or esteem. Be thankful, feel the grace, the wonderful gift of being alive, to have the opportunity to love and give to others our love, we synchronized with the original meaning of our feelings: giving and receiving. To love and be loved. All is one. The act is the same, eventually you realize that grace, feeling grateful, you feel the total binding and recognize that we are all lovingly: the dazzling sense of unity that brings live in Love

Do your work (Gyo Wo Hageman)

"Know thyself," says the Greek proverb. That is the key and foundation of inner work. Do your work, you have to make every moment, not forcing you or force you to do but what you feel you really have to do, and here it is not important what we do in itself, but the attitude, motivates us to do so. By doing Reiki, as in meditation, yoga or perform any other work, the basic thing we do know that inside, in line with our heart, and then whatever we do will be continuous and profound self-discovery.

The basic work we do at all times is living. Life is the workplace, school, laboratory, home and temple. Therefore, anything we do is to do our jobs if our attitude is right, that is, doing so with a vocation, dedication, looking inside to get and put our best on the task selected. No matter what you do but how you do. That's the key. Practice your Reiki with the aim of reaching you, practicarte yourself. Practice all work with the same vocation. Do your job. Be yourself and put what you are in your action.

Be kind and respectful

with all beings (Hito Shinsetsu Ni Ni)

As the biblical principle: "Love thy neighbor as thyself." But this can only be achieved, lived in a totally if we start with ourselves. One can not love others if you do not love yourself. It is a basic principle. Start working from outside can surely be much more expensive to start from within. When one begins to be kind and respectful to yourself, which is nothing else to be aware of your real self, all love, being kind and respectful to others is the most natural act and consequently it can happen. The force of love is like a wonderful cascade of energy might be projected to others, by involving others in the bath of light and purity we enjoy.

? Kill yourself and love will completely forget the you and me, mine and yours. The self-love, the real and well understood, removes all boundaries, all separation is total love, compassion, continually delivering equals.

The important thing about love is not the object to which it is intended that love Love itself. It's like the Zen saying that focuses finger to the moon and you're left looking at the finger. Focuses on what a place we love: love. If you love love love all things, all beings, and be kind and respectful to them is something that will be part of you, is where it goes your energy spontaneously.
