Reiki Principles & How Reiki Works
Every Reiki Master Teacher adheres to their version of the original Reiki Principles established by Usui Mikao.
Embodying Universal Values of Peace, Love, and Respect.

A simplified version in the PDF manual:
- Just for today, I do not worry.
- Just for today, I do not anger.
- Just for today, I am grateful.
- Just for today, I am conscious.
- Just for today, I am gentle with all living beings.
Reiki is a Universal Life Force Energy and the Reiki Principles are valuable guidance for attuning and healing every life.
We say “Just for today” and not “for the rest of my life, I will…” That is because we are being and living in the present moment, which is all we really are and have.
We acknowledge that the Sacred Truth is that “all is one” meaning there is an interconnectedness of all that exists and as a collective.
All of our thoughts, actions, and feelings affect everything else.
Have you ever noticed that when you show love and respect to someone, it creates more love and respect all around us?
That is How Reiki Works!
Reiki, often termed energy healing or energy work, reflects the age-old belief that everything is energy. Across cultures, energy takes names like qi, prana, chi, ki, and life force energy.
How does Reiki work?
Just as you tune your car radio to catch signals and transmit music, Reiki functions by expertly channeling energy. A Reiki Master draws from the “infinite energy source” or “universal energy field,” then radiates it through their hands to the recipient.
This revitalizing energy, aimed at recipients, amplifies their self-healing capacities by dissolving energy blockages.
Guided by my Reiki Master Teacher, I’ve come to understand that being a conduit for Reiki influences every aspect of our existence: moments, perceptions, choices, and actions.
As Reiki evolves into a spiritual path, the flow of Reiki extends beyond our hands—it emanates from our hearts, actions, thoughts, and emotions.
Embarking on the transformative journey of becoming a Reiki practitioner necessitates training and attunement from a Reiki Master. An attunement works a lasting shift in your energy field, enabling the flow of Reiki through you.
Throughout the attunement process, your heart, crown, and palm energy centers open, forging a unique connection between you (the practitioner) and Reiki’s boundless energy source.
Should you seek an attunement, feel free to reach out to me via email or phone, or explore nearby teachers whose resonance aligns with your journey.
