Giving and receiving Reiki is one aspect of the healing journey. The complementary aspect of the journey is striving to embody our truth, beauty, and goodness in our everyday lives. This means doing our best to express our inner light in our homes, families, work environments, communities, nations, and our global community.

The founder of the Reiki/Usui System of Natural Healing, Mikao Usui, incorporated the Reiki principles under the inspiration of the Meiji Emperor of Japan. As Mr. Usui's insights into the nature of Reiki grew, he knew it was important that students of Reiki understand the underlying principles for living a balanced and healthy life.

When we give and receive Reiki energy, as well as committ to learning and living the wisdom of the Reiki principles, our own healing is maximized.
