In previous blog posts, I have provided an overview of how to use the 5 Reiki principles to add balance and peace to our lives, and in-depth discussions of how we can do so with the first, second, and third Reiki principles. This week, we’re looking at the fourth principle.

Although this principle is often translated as “Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings,” I change it to the present tense: “Just for today, I give thanks for my many blessings.”

I consider this the most straightforward of the principles, as the very act of reciting this principle reminds me of and shifts my attention toward a great number of my blessings—especially my children, my husband, my family and friends, and opportunities to learn and grow every day.

 

More than that, because I recite the Reiki principles first thing in the morning, this principle shifts my attitude toward gratitude, which is a wonderful mindset in which to start my day. And when I recite the principles as part of my bedtime routine, having my attention once again called to my blessings helps put my mind at ease for a restful night’s slumber.

Before moving on to the fifth Reiki principle, simply pause after reciting this principle and list—or at least think of—at least three things that you are grateful for in your life. If, for some reason, no blessings come immediately to mind when you recite this principle, this is the perfect time to name at least one blessing. When you do so, try to focus all the gratitude you possess on that one blessing, feeling your heart swell with the feeling. After a few days of practice, you will likely find that the number of blessings coming to mind begins to increase exponentially.

Don’t wait to begin. Start naming your blessings today!
