The following five principles were introduced by Dr Usui when he realised it wasn’t enough to heal the physical body.
When he saw in the beggars’ quarters, people returning to their old ways, he saw it as a rift between mind and spirit that caused disease and there had to be a change in attitude before healing could happen.
He realised the importance of a person participating in his own life healing process. A person needs to want to change and heal. Also, there should be an exchange of energy.
Dr Usui had given healings for nothing and that’s how the beggars thought of it, as nothing!
So he discovered:-
- A person should ask for healing
- There should be an exchange of energy for the healer’s time. That way the healee doesn’t feel indebted for the healer’s services and frees himself of obligation
The Reiki principles are also intended as guidelines for higher consciousness growth. It is recommended that you say these positive affirmations each day to expand your own understanding and growth.
