Hello and welcome
back to the third instalment of the blogs based on the Reiki precepts. This blog post is based on the precept ‘Be
Grateful’.
I find ‘being
grateful’ is an amazing gift. We could
all moan and complain we don’t have enough money/time/friends/possessions …. Turn
this concept around and I’m grateful I have enough money to live comfortably, I’ve
been given the blessing of time with my family, I am loved and surrounded by
family and friends. I’m even grateful
for having cancer; it was a life changing reminder to take every day as a
blessing, to not take anything for granted and the opportunity to learn Reiki
and help other people. Being grateful for
the littlest things every day reminds me what a fantastic life I am lucky
enough to have.
Some of the
translations of the Reiki precepts have ‘Be Humble’ as the third precept. These are similar sentiments; humble and
grateful. With Reiki, the practitioner
doesn’t provide the energy, we are just a channel. New clients are often amazed and ask how we
acquired this ‘power’. It can be
difficult to clarify and it is honest and humble to explain that we merely
provide a conduit for your body/mind/spirit to use Reiki as a trigger to heal
yourself. Reiki helps to provide a safe,
calm and relaxing environment for healing to take place.
Reiki does not claim
to cure; Reiki reminds us to remain humble and believe the outcome is for the
greater good. There is no room for
arrogance and pride, Reiki helps us to serve others.
