The 5 Reiki Principles
Dr Usui the founder of modern Reiki outlined 5 principles to guide his Reiki students to a purposeful and pure life – these principles teach us a lot about how to be happy – staying focused in the moment, being grateful for what we have and being kind to others. We teach these values in all our Reiki training courses. They are great ideals to follow and practise, and I think if we live these principles instead of trying to chase happiness we will find it along the way!
