Hi there!
A reminder of the 5 principals of reiki, and how they can be applied to day to day living. (what are the 5 principals of reiki?)
"Rei ki" means universal life force energy and is a form of energy healing discovered by Master Usui in Japan in circa 1910.
Reiki healing has spread globally since then.
I am a reiki master teacher based in Blackrock, Dublin
Available for reiki sessions Dublin. I also teach all the reiki training Dublin stages. For reiki dublin, you can send me a form in the contacts section of this website
1. Just for today, I release angry thoughts
Recognize the anger within you & where it stems from. Pay attention to how you react to situations & people when you feel triggered. We all have different character traits. Some of us come into the world with more fire elements than others. Fire can help us direct our thoughts & energy in positive ways when it's used well. On the other hand, there are times when it can be destructive. Sometimes when we hold on to anger thoughts, the energy of anger can harm us most of all. It stops our Heart chakra from expanding and can crystalize our energy.
Practice forgiveness, towards ourselves & others whenever possible. If it's not possible to forgive, it is possible to put our energy into new thoughts & intentions besides anger to manifest a new reality. You may not get there straight away, but with a conscious intention, you can begin to manifest shifts.
2. Just for today, I release thoughts of worry
Very much linked to the above principal regarding anger. Again, some of us worry more than others. Like anger, worry is an energy we hold on to. Unlike anger (pure energy of fire) that can be beneficial under the right circumstances, worry can ruin our day whilst serving no purpose at all. Often we fix on future events we have no control over. And often the things we worry about most of all, don't come to pass. By lightening our thoughts and focusing on the good rather than the bad, we can lighten our energy. Lighter energy allows us to reach a state of flow, a higher vibration that attracts back more of the same positive energy.
3. Just for today, I’m grateful
This is such an important principal and helps us with the last two principals of reiki. When we slow down and allow us to be grateful, perhaps even write a gratitude list, we can change the quality of our thoughts. By focusing on things we are grateful for, we can lift our energy. We can re-frame current challenges and see them in a new light. See solutions where before we only saw challenges. See opportunities where before we only perceived closed doors. Being grateful can start with something very small, such as taking a walk on a cold January morning and noticing birds singing in the trees, beautiful winter light, or imagining the bare branches of the trees budding in Spring. Having hope is a way of being grateful as it is trusting that good things can come our way. My reiki sessions Dublin can also help to see the positive by balancing the flow of energy through the body. (power of positivity)
4. Just for today, I expand my consciousness
Since the pandemic, there have been great shifts in consciousness. This has been happening at the individual level, as well as the collective level. We have had time to rethink our lives, reorganize our thoughts, including what is most important in our lives. Many of us have had out lives turned upside down.
This has led to great challenges as well as a-ha! moments where we have glimpsed a bigger picture.
Many of us have experienced energetic shifts within the family dynamic and these shifts have been felt across communities as well.
The fabric of society also has shifted in different ways with people wanting greater fairness & justice in the world. This is the positive aspects of anger, when it is pure and won't tolerate injustices. However, to avoid deep polarity within yourself and across communities, and with it, the energy of fear & uncertainty, it's important to be conscious of ourselves. First and foremost, we choose what we align ourselves with. On a basic level, whether we align ourselves with love-based thoughts, or fear-based thoughts. At a basic level, we carry the energy of change within us and it is our intention that decides how we live our lives on a personal and a collective level. As we are all connected and our consciousness has an effect on the collective as well. Reiki sessions can help us experience energy beyond the physical by opening the chakra, or energy points of the body, including awakening through the crown chakra.
5. Just for today, I’m gentle with all beings
How being kind to others lets us receive positive energy in return. Allowing us to manifest a better life for ourselves. Being gentle includes being gentle with ourselves, which is essential for spiritual growth. Love, happiness & joy, expanding the heart chakra, the center of the chakra system & bringing clearer insight to the third-eye.
