Spreading good energy.
- been reading alot about Reiki lately. a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. it is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive (being high on "energy", we are more capable of being happy and healthy and vise versa). however, neither the existence of ki nor any mechanism for its manipulation are scientifically accepted, and the evidence base does not support the efficacy of reiki or its recommendation for use in treatment. mmmmm.
well, while i contemplate on the pending decision, i thought its good to share what Reiki teachers and practitioners aim to abide by ;
these five principles, one translation of which is:
"The secret method of inviting good fortune.
The marvelous medicine for all sickness
Just for today:
Do not be angry
Do not worry
Be grateful
Work with integrity
Be kind to others.
every morning and every night, sit in the Gassho position (hands held palm-to-palm. learn more bout the other 5 positions too if you're keen) and speak these words out loud in your heart. while Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. it has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. in fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not, which im quite skeptical about, but nonetheless, its good to know and to spread positive "chi" (even without attending Reiki courses), since it can never be a bad thing really.
