Just finished a day of reiki with people I’ve trained over the last few years and months. We meditated together, I offered reiju (attunements), and people offered two-on-one treatments to one another. There was a pot-luck meal afterwards accompanied by conversations that ranged from deep to hilarious, from serious to silly. For me, the core of reiki is the Five Precepts, a series of reminders about how to live a daily peaceful existence. The group held council around this question: What precept for daily living would you create, live, and teach that’s based upon your own life experience?” People’s responses were remarkable, because we each have had challenges and gifts grace our lives in different ways. Truly we acted as one another’s teachers today.
How about YOU? What precept for daily living would YOU create, live, and teach that’s based upon YOUR own life experience? Please join our circle of peers by sharing your own wisdom in the comments.
one thing I’ve learned and often remind myself(and all who will listen!):
Trust that your good will come to you without needing to know how.
Thanks, Judy. If we get to caught up in our own version of “how”, we might miss a route that’s equally helpful or even better. Good reminder!
Great thought, Judy. Sometimes our solution or miracle is right there in front of us but we are so set on things being within our limited realm of thinking that we miss it. I write a lot about this on my own blog, and even still, I have to remind myself of it frequently!

P.S. James…I found your blog on the Reiki facebook group. Thanks for a good site for conversation and thought.
When I look at my life it amazes me how ofter we tragically let time slip away, I’ve even coined a phrase for it “Life gets in the way of living” but make allowances without punishing yourself, for we always come back to where we should be and it gives me great comfort that both my life and the living are all part of my journey, and it is indeed that which allows me to grow.
