World Reiki Day - Do you know what Reiki is? - by Catherine Morgan (cross-posted at BlogHer.org)
Apparently Wednesday was “World Reiki Day“, I guess I “sort-of” missed it. But, since Reiki really does deserve to have a whole week of awareness…I’ll officially declare this “World Reiki Week”. Can I do that??? Hope so. Okay, now that that is settled, let’s talk about Reiki.
Reiki means “universal” and ki or chi in Chinese means “ life force energy”, and it is said that “life force energy” is the foundation of all life. Reiki is much more than “hands on” healing, when a person discovers Reiki, they often also discover a deeper awareness of their own spirituality or potential for personal growth. And, Reiki can fit into any lifestyle (materially, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) - making Reiki “inclusive” and available to anyone.
There are five principles of Reiki:
1. Don’t get angry today.
2. Don’t worry today.
3. Be grateful today.
4. Work hard today.
5. Be kind to others today.
It seems to me these are principles we could all stand to live by.
