FUN FACT: the Traditional Japanese Usui Reiki does not focus on just healing. Originally it was a tool for self improvement. That’s why Dr Usui included self-healing in Reiki 1.
Only for today (Just for Today)
Don’t get angry
Don’t worry
Be Thankful
Work hard
Be kind to other people
The wording ONLY FOR TODAY… is very intentional .. by repeating ONLY FOR TODAY
you are conditioning your mind to stay in the moment. YOUR POWER IS IN THE NOW.
Your power is not in the “past” nor the “future”
