viewI know that a lot of people refer to reiki (quite often misspelled as raiki or reiky) as complete and utter mumbo-jumbo or woo. Another thing that falls into such a categorization is affirmations.

So now some of you might be asking, so what is an affirmation? Fair question, and the short answer is that an affirmation is a simple statement of fact. They are quite common in our daily lives. But unfortunately they seem to mostly occur their negative form – I am fat, and so and so forth.

But the wonderful truth is that the power of affirmations can be harnessed in a positive way. So when I took of an affirmation here, I am referring to a simple positive statement aimed at shaping our reality (or our perception of it). I invite you to use this affirmation of the reiki principles in your daily life.

          • Today I am filled with joy
          • Today I am overflowing with tranquility
          • Today I am exuberant with gratitude
          • Today I live with integrity
          • Today I am flowing  with kindness
