Reiki Principles
- Just for today, I will not worry
- Just for today, I will not be angry
- Just for today, I will be grateful
- Just for today, I will do my work honestly
- Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing

Although I was always curious about the metaphysical, esoteric and magic(k), I had never heard anything about energy healing or the chakras.
In fact, my First Attunement was only done as a couples’ activity, to try something different together. Although it was a pleasant activity, and I followed the 21 days of activation, I didn’t think of it much, and practiced randomly…
In the meantime, I quit smoking and alcohol and the relationship ended (exactly this day, last year!)
So, when the chance came to take the Second Attunement, I decided that I had nothing to lose and eagerly booked my place.This time, it was about passing energy to others, how to protect yourself from unwanted energies, and in turn protect your own energy from leechers, and we were shown the first 3 symbols.
Again, at that point it didn’t mean much, but I followed again the 21 days of activation… This time I was eating clean food, working on detox and increased my water intake.
Little did I understand, that without much effort the Reiki within me was giving me a direction, quitting smoking and alcohol, reducing stress and anxiety, training, eating clean, enjoying open spaces and addressing any health related limitations, such as my muscle imbalance and bad posture.
I have become a completely different person, without losing myself. In fact, now that I practice Reiki regularly, I can feel which energy centres need attention, which interactions are adding value, which people and places to avoid… And although sometimes “letting go” is quite difficult, I know that after the pain, always comes healing, and opportunities.
At this point, the next step would be to take the Master Attunement, so that I will be able to pass on the attunements to others. I believe that this was the real “Wisdom” that the Universe wants us to pass on, as I am sure that we would respect each other and Mother Earth much more…
Blessings,
