What is the change you wish to see in the world?

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

                    —Gandhiji

I know you’ve seen this inspiring Gandhi quote many times. But have you considered it from a Reiki perspective? What is the change you wish to see in the world? If you’re a Reiki practitioner, surely it’s to see the world manifest its Reiki nature. And that means, to be the change, you have to manifest your Reiki nature, to be the embodiment of Reiki, to become living Reiki.

Easy to say, but how do you do that? Fortunately, Usui Founder gave us tools to help us do just that: the Reiki Principles, the attunements and reiju, Reiki self-healing and hands-on or distant sessions from fellow practitioners, the Reiki symbols, and a series of practices like hatsurei-ho. Each of these can take you deeper into Reiki. Used faithfully in concert, they can take Reiki deeper into you. Or, more accurately, they can reveal the Reiki nature that has always been in you.

As Gandhiji says, to manifest Reiki to the world, you must first become aware of it in yourself. Use the tools to see it. Once you see it, be it. And remember: It is already there.
