.
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. |

The Principles
as written by Mikao Usui |
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).
