Recently I felt the need to deepen my understanding of energy work and began my training with The Reiki Academy in London.

There are five principles of Reiki, as shared by Mikao Usui, the founder of the system.

Just for today

Do not anger

Do not worry

Be grateful

Work with diligence

Be kind to others

I normally don’t enjoy being told what to do. But these principles somehow feel less like rules, more like daily invitations.
Gentle reminders offering calmness, clarity and connection. Whether you have experience with Reiki or not, I believe it speaks to something universal.

The phrasing may sound unusual as the English translation stays close to the original Japanese. The intention however, behind these words, is beautifully simple.

If these lines resonate with you and you are curious about energy work, I would encourage you to explore further.

For those of you in London, I can recommend The Reiki Academy founded by Torsten A. Lange over a decade ago.
If you live elsewhere then perhaps the right teacher will find its way to you.

On a personal note, Reiki has confirmed for me the presence of our many layers.

Wishing you the same.
