Just for today, I will be peaceful.

Just for today, I will totally trust.

Just for today, I will be grateful.

Just for today, I will do my work honestly.

Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.

These precepts are adapted from the Five Reiki Principles by Dr Mikao Usui - the founder of Usui Reiki.

The idea behind them is living in the now and taking life one day at a time. Setting out for the day with honourable intentions, but letting it go and knowing you can start over the next day should anything take you off your path.

There are several variations of this precepts which you can read here. I chose purely positive statements for our version.

I thought this was a peaceful, calm, serene, and most appropriately, doable, little thing to live by which we could use here on the Spiritual Living board.

Read it to centre and balance yourself. You can pick out one as an "aim for the day". You can post about how you're doing with this on the board. You can even tinker with the wording so that it's 100% relevant for you and your life.

I really like those, but I also like to change it to this:

I am peaceful.

I am trust.

I am grateful.

I am honest.

I am kind to every living thing.

I love the simple power of the I AM statement. I love your version, too.

Inspirations

All inspirational texts posted on the board will be catalogued here by title or by first line.

When you need a bit of inspiration, let your eyes unfocus a little, look at the titles and read the one you're drawn to.

Or devour them all at once...I don't mind.
