Reiki & Inspirational Quotes

The whole system of Reiki is based on embodying the precepts within oneself and one’s life, not just about hands-on-healing for others; the true aim of the system of Reiki is rediscovering our True Self or enlightenment. Compassion for others grows from the precepts because it is only when we start to find our own inner True Self that we can really start to help others.

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

Kahlil Gibran

A Reiki master holds no lordly power over his or her students. A Reiki master is simply a person who has chosen to take the next step into mastership by accepting a greater level of responsibility for his or her life. He or she openly accepts the effects of causes which are self-created. By accepting this responsibility, the Reiki master is empowered to use specific processes to assist others in further empowering themselves.

Albert Einstein

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Steve Jobs

I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.

Steve Jobs
