I release all worry.
I am grateful for all life’s blessings.

The five Reiki Principles were taught by Mikao Usui, founder of the Usui Reiki healing system. He was a spiritual man who believed that both the body and mind must be kept healthy and balanced. Usui taught his students the five Reiki Principles and asked that they chant them morning and evening to cultivate a pure and happy mind.
