For today only…. Five powerful Reiki precepts
We are all feeling overwhelmed now with everything that is happening in our world. When we stay in the negative thoughts of fear and anxiety we stay in the flight and fight mode and life seems to become overwhelming.
We are then stressed and panic, which leaves us helpless and powerless.
This is not a good state to be in and can negatively impact our mental and physical state. Instead of thinking of what might happen to us tomorrow stay in the moment and think one thought at a time, do one task at a time, and one day at a time. Don't stay in the past or worry what may happen in the future. Stay in the now.
I tell myself and my clients to say to ourselves the five Reiki precepts every day when we wake up as they can help us to start the day with good intentions:
For today only I will not worry
For today only I will not be angry
For today only I will be kind and compassionate to myself and others
For today only I will be honest
For today only I will be grateful
Suz A., one of my clients wrote this lovely testimonial where she refers to the 5 Reiki Precepts and how this helped her when the going was tough:
Liani has been treating my husband for various issues for some time. He ultimately had surgery in June 2021 and suffered many complications.
I mentioned to Liani that I was “sleep deprived” and had been for some years due to my husband’s health issues I believe I was just frightened to fall into a deep sleep.
Liani sent me a recording for Insomnia. I found the first night I used the recording I started to get some deep sleep not all night but certainly the best I had been for some time. Liani further advised me that should I wake up…say to myself “sleep now” and concentrated on my slow and rhythmic breathing but importantly block out any noises around me such as dogs barking or wind …this worked a treat and back to sleep I would go. I now do not need to listen to the recording I just go through the processes myself and can now sleep independently.
Liani has assisted me to become a better well-balanced person and carer. I find decision processes so much easier to work through and challenges faced with an optimistic attitude not the “Oh No” attitude.
Liani is a very patient, kind and understanding lady who is so very passionate about her work. I felt she walked the road with me, noting the hurdles I faced, and her support made me want to succeed. Her passion to assist one to a better life is contagious.
Liani in our discussions told me about the acclamations (5 Reiki precepts) she made each day and I decided to do the same. I must be honest there have been times when my husband was extremely ill, I found the second acclamation difficult. I also repeated this numerous times when the going was tough .
FOR TODAY ONLY I WILL NOT ANGER
FOR TODAY ONLY I WILL NOT WORRY
FOR TODAY ONLY I WILL BE HONEST
FOR TODAY ONLY I WILL BE KIND
FOR TODAY ONLY I WILL BE COMPASSIONATE
I don’t feel I am doing it alone- I feel very blessed to have met Liani and grateful for her support.
