Just for today, I will not worry
Just for today, I will not anger
Today, I will live honestly
Just for today, I will respect the oneness of all life
Just for today, I will be kind to everyone I meet
Just for today, I will show gratitude to all living things

Can you imagine what live would be like if we all chose to live by these words. If we embodied the essence of peace, joy, honesty, respect, kindness, and gratitude to self and all living things on a daily basis. The possibilities would be limitless for our human growth and potential. There would be no hunger, no war, no hatred.

We limit ourselves when we choose fear, anger, and dishonesty. Our thoughts, words and actions have power. They become the fabric of our lives. They are the cloth we are cut from. Their quality matters. Practice living with integrity, contemplating, saying and choosing to your actions according to these simple five Reiki principles everyday.

 

 

Although the road is never ending take a step and keep walking, do not look fearfully into the distance…On this path let the heart be your guide for the body is hesitant and full of fear.
_Rumi

 

Life is a journey, not a place we arrive, but  a way of  traveling through this lifetime. It is an open ended path with un expected twists and turns that lead us in many directions. Sometimes we follow reluctantly, hesitantly, fearful of what lies ahead, unknown. Sometimes we follow happily and joyously anxious to move on to higher ground. Regardless of the difficulty of the road, or the particular path we find ourselves on, we are reminded by our beloved teacher, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, when we choose to walk mindfully in the present moment we find “peace is every step”.  Life doesn’t stand still. Neither do we. Keep walking. Be present. Breathe deep. Follow your heart.
