According to Takata’s version, the five principles of Reiki were born after a particularly insightful meditation of Mikao Usui’s.

Actually, the principles or guidelines for an harmonious and balanced life, were first written by Emperor Meiji (1868-1912) and adopted by Mikao Usui, because of the great consideration he held the Emperor in.
The principles are not moral obligations; their life-giving soul is the feeling of oneness: oneness is harmony of the individual
with the whole cosmos.
From the Reiki point of view, integrating such principles in out lives means becoming, as much as we can, clear channels
of Universal Life Energy.
Mikao Usui recommended repeating them out loud and let them resound in our heart every morning and every night, sitting (on the floor and on a chair) and relaxed, keeping the legs straight or in the lotus position, with the hands crossed over the heart (balance) or joined in the position called Gassho.
In this exercise, of course, as with all meditation practices, what is most important is the spiritual intention, that is to say the actual receptiveness and openness of mind and hearth (kokoro).
