1. Just for today, I release angry thoughts

It’s normal to feel angry sometimes. This emotion can be triggered by many scenarios, like dealing with a rude co-worker or getting cut off in traffic.

But according to Reiki, anger doesn’t come from these outside events. Instead, it stems from angry energy already within you.

This principle aims to help you release this energy. It encourages you to recognize anger and to let it go, allowing you to invite happiness into your life.

2. Just for today, I release thoughts of worry

Many of us worry about things that haven’t happened yet. And while it’s easy to feel like that worry comes from an external source, Reiki maintains that it starts from within.

If you’re holding on to worry energy, thinking about future events can produce negative emotions. However, if you’re able to release this energy, you may have an easier time living in the present moment and worrying less about the future.

3. Just for today, I’m grateful

This is a reminder to express gratitude for all that you have. By slowing down and recognizing the good in your life, it may help you foster more positive energy.

4. Just for today, I expand my consciousness

In Reiki, actively practicing mindfulness is key to balancing your energy. This principle encourages you to recognize how you’ve been more conscious about appreciating the present moment.

5. Just for today, I’m gentle with all beings

This principle focuses on how being kind to others lets you receive positive energy in return. It includes being gentle with yourself, which is essential for spiritual health.
