One of the Reiki Precepts is “No matter what happened, do not worry”. Today, I’m especially grateful I’m guided by the Reiki Precepts.
The field opposite the reiki-sanctuary has disappeared and been replaced by the very swollen River Anker. More rain is forecast, with the possibility of the River Anker joining the Coventry Canal.
I could have sat here watching the waters rise and worrying, working myself up into a state of fear and panic. Instead, I have followed the Reiki Precepts. Instead of being paralysed by worry, I have taken action. I have done all I can to protect myself and the reiki-sanctuary from the rising water.
So now, no matter what happens, I will not worry, for I know I have done all I can.
The Reiki Precepts encourage us to live life in a ‘mindful’ way. Mindfulness enables us to think clearly and calmly. Consequently we can take action that is informed and beneficial.
Another Reiki Precept is “thank for everything”. Looking at the surrounding houses that are going under water, I’m so thankful I live on a boat!
