Five Steps of Reiki Just for today I will let go of anger I will let go of worry I will receive gratefully I will work honestly I will be kind to all Every verse of Gokai targets one thing - the Ego. Every time one thinks about it, it's like Usui Sensei iss trying to tell us as long as the ego in us is resolved, the Gokai will lead us in whatever we do be it small or big. We choose to let go of anger because in anger, the ego in us expects certain way or result. We choose to let go of worry because in worry, the ego in us expects situations to favour us in the manner we want. We choose to practice gratitude in every moment of life, the ego becomes tiny and expectations on others are reduced , creating harmony. If we allow our ego to have the upper hand, we expect results to happen certain ways we wanted and thus we do things short cuts to get results and not do things fully with our heart. If we have allow ego to have the upper hand, how is it possible to help others wholeheartedly ? How do we bring ourselves to the point where we willingly help others through self sacrifice and time. As a Reiki practitioner, these are the introspective thoughts that occur to me when I do the Reiki Meiso and mindfully recite the Gokai. Life is a constant work in progress and I don't expect perfection in this lifetime. That doesn't stop one from taking the next step forward though. May we all live in love and light and may God watch over us all. 🙏🙏🙏
