Just For Today ........

Since I began my Reiki journey, I have realised the importance of "living for today" much more than I ever did before. Too many of us get caught up with little worries that are part of our daily lives, always something to do or think about or plan etc. etc....... We can got so bogged down that we forget about what is going on around us at the time - the actual day to day living that we should be making the most of. Let's face it - once today is gone, we can never get it back!

This is where the Reiki principles come into play. They are the Reiki ideals, as set by the founder, Dr Mikao Usui. I would like to share them with you.

Just for today.....

Just for today, I will let go of anger.

Just for today, I will let go of worry.

Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings.

Just for today, I will do my work honestly.

Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.


Try it - "just for today" - let go - give thanks - be kind......

You will start to feel more relaxed and able to enjoy each day, each moment, of your life.


PS: What is the point of crying over spilt milk, or broken eggs!
I was baking the other day and needed just 3 egg whites. It was a day where I had lots to do and was feeling the pressure. I lost count how many eggs I cracked before I could get just the whites and thought...... "Just for today, I will not worry about how many eggs I crack to get 3 whites!" Made me loosen up and feel better about all the other stuff I had to do too! :)
