Interpreting the Reiki Ideals With The Law of Attraction


When reading the Original Reiki Ideals I notice the wording is contrary to the law of attraction.  The word “not” doesn’t take away from the focus of anger and worry.  You know when You tell someone not to look and they instantly turn their head toward You.  I understand and feel the deeper meaning and energy of the Reiki principles.  In this article I will share the deeper meaning of the Reiki ideals and my alternate positive wording version. 

 Original Reiki Ideals The Reiki Muse

The secret art of inviting happiness

The miraculous medicine of all diseases

Just for today, do not be angry

Do not worry and be filled with gratitude

Devote yourself to your work and be kind to people

Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer,

Pray these words to your heart,

And chant these words with your mouth.

I teach that the words “Just for today” invite us to be present and live in the moment.  Living in the now is an underlying principle applicable to the entire Reiki ideals.   

The words “do not be angry” are not to be taken literally.  To never anger would be unhealthy and cause us to stifle our emotions, which would result in disease.  Instead look for the underlying beliefs and thoughts that lead to anger.  If You live present in the moment and accept that things are in perfect order anger is easier to release and harder to come by.  A deeper meaning of this principle reminds us that emotions are just guidance.  They let You know if You are believing thoughts that don’t serve You.

I think the words “do not worry” encourage You to live in the present.  If You are worrying, You are focusing your thoughts on something in the future that You don’t want to happen.

The Reiki ideal “Be filled with gratitude“ acknowledges that appreciation is a high vibrational state of mind.  When we are noticing things to be thankful for we uplift ourselves which allows us to feel better.  When we are in a state of gratitude the things we love and want in our lives come easily to us.

I like to interpret the deeper meaning of the words “devote yourself to your work” as devoting yourself to your inner work and your spiritual growth.  I see it as being mindful in your work and the tasks related to living.  Your work is following your highest path and living in integrity with your Highest Truth.  Your job is to tend to your alignment between your self and your Higher Self.

The Reiki principle of “be kind to people” brings to mind what about the animals and the other living things on this Earth.  I interpret this Reiki ideal to include all living things, including yourself.

I have altered the original Reiki ideals removing the negative wording.  The alternate version brings attention more to what we want as opposed to what we don’t want.  Those of You familiar with the Abraham teachings on Law of Attraction might recognize some of the wording.

Alternate Reiki IdealsThe Reiki Muse

Just for today, I choose appreciation

Just for today, I choose to accept my emotional guidance

Just for today, I trust All Is Well

I devote myself to my inner work while living in integrity

I show love and respect for all Life.

Reiki Makes Warping Time Easier


Have You ever wanted to get somewhere faster than humanly possible?  Do You believe You have the capacity to warp time?  Do You believe time is an illusion?  Then read on…

The first time I warped time, I had no idea that I was even doing so.  I had no conscious thought about warping time.  I was aware that time was an illusion though.

My first encounter warping time was when my niece was born in 1996.  I drove my sister from Sedona, AZ  up Oak Creek Canyon to the hospital in Flagstaff, AZ in 20 minutes.  My niece’s father was timing my sister’s contractions on the way up to Flagstaff.  Therefore, he knew how long this journey took us.  If You aren’t familiar with this area of the country.  The road between Sedona and Flagstaff is a windy canyon road.  The journey to the hospital normally takes 40 to 45 minutes.

My brother in-law was amazed and kept asking me how I got to the hospital so fast.  He could even see the speedometer and knew that I was not speeding, at least not recklessly.  I was very aware of taking the turns slowly because I didn’t want to make the labor pains worse. My sister was the first time I had been with a woman in labor.

My niece’s father made me aware that something out of the normal had happened, that I had warped time.  I really didn’t think much of it.  It took a while before the full impact that I had jumped ahead in the time/space continuum.

At some point later, I read an article about warping time.  It gave a fully explanation on how to warp time.  I wish I remembered where I read this so I could pass it on. It was then that I realized how I had warped time subconsciously. Here’s the points I remember about howThe Reiki Muse to warp time consciously.

  1. See your destination in your mind’s eye.  I was visualizing the hospital all the way there.  We had just been there that day trying to get my niece to turn in the womb since she was breech.
  2. See yourself arriving at a certain time.  I live in Nederland, CO and I can get to the hospital in Boulder in 20 minutes if needed and traffic cooperated.  The drive is a canyon drive similar to the drive between Flagstaff and Sedona.  I really thought it was normal to be able to drive to the hospital in Flagstaff in 20 minute.  So I saw us arriving in 20 minutes.  Looking back, I’m certain I was energetically driving us in Boulder Canyon.
  3. Ignore any landmarks that give You a sense of timing. Pretend You have blinders on.  That part was easy.  It was dark and I hadn’t driven Oak Creek Canyon enough to have any landmarks that told me I was a certain distance from the hospital.  In fact, at this point I think I thought it was only 17 miles between Sedona and Flagstaff.  I think it’s more like 27 miles.   I never once thought at any point, “We’re only 10 minutes away from the hospital from here.”
  4. Trust and know You’ll reach your destination when You see yourself there with clear focus and just pay attention to your journey, the road in front of You.  Be relaxed as possible.  That’s all I did.  Drive and focus on driving quickly on the straight parts of the road and slowly and comfortably around the corners for my sister.  I still remember being in what felt like another world or a tunnel, paying attention to the road and how my sister was doing.  At the same time knowing I could get there in 20 minutes.
  5. Believe it’s possible. Get your analytical mind out-of-the-way. I had no doubt in my mind I could make it from Sedona to Flagstaff in 20 minutes.  So it worked then.  I now “know” how long it’s supposed to take.  So repeating this exact time warping feat might be more challenging if I attempted it again.

Now that You have the basic steps for warping time.  You can add Reiki to the formula to make warping time easier.  The distance symbol from the second degree of Reiki transcends time and space so everything can be experienced in the now.

You can activate the distance symbol while seeing yourself happily arriving at your destination at a certain time.  You can imagine the distance symbol lying on the road ahead of You.  Remember to Reiki yourself while You drive to keep  focused and calm while driving, walking or biking.

I use this time warping technique often and most of the time successfully.  I have been asked more than once, “Did You fly down the canyon?”  Why, yes I did, on the wings of Reiki.

Enjoy using this time warping technique.  I look forward to hearing how it works out for You.  If You get there when You saw yourself arriving and You feel good when You get there.  Count it as a success.  Even if You only shaved a few minutes.

Reiki Blessings to You!
