A Key to Well-Being

By Andrea Kartika Deierlein

· Mindfulness,Selfcare,Reiki

What if we were able to choose well-being? What if we decided not to get distracted by all the conditions, comparisons and expectations that shape life? And instead placed attention on what can be changed, right here, right now?

In the system of Reiki, we have the precepts to help connect us to the present moment, to become mindful, and help shift our attention and energy. To me, the precepts are the guidelines, foundation, and heart of Reiki practice:

Just for today

Do not anger

Do not worry

Be grateful

Be true to your way and your being

Show compassion for yourself and others.

Just for today can sound like a very long time. Sometimes we can only be present for one breath at a time. But just for today can also translate to just for this one moment, just for this one activity. This makes it more manageable and brings mindfulness into everyday situations.

When I feel less anger, I can experience calmness. When I feel less worried, I can be more focused. When I am grateful, I can smile. When I am true to my way and my being, I can be honest with myself and can make choices based on my values. When I show compassion for myself and others, I can be more caring, loving, and generous.

You don’t have to be a Reiki practitioner to turn this key to well-being.

Just for today… why not turn to the precepts when you need to refocus your attention or energy?

May you have PRESENCE, PEACE and CALM – today and every day.
