The Gokai are The Five 'Principles', 'Precepts' or 'Ideals' of Usui Reiki Healing method set by Mikao Usui.

Kyo Dake Wa - Just for today:
Ikaruna - Let go of anger
Shin Pai Suna - Let go of worry
Kan Sha Shite - Be grateful (for the things the life gave)
Gyo o Hagame - Do your duties honestly
Hito ni Shinsetsu ni - Be kind to every living being

The Reiki principles being spoken in Japaneese:

Shôfuku no hihô, Manbyo no rei yaku - The secret method of inviting blessings, the spiritual medicine of many illnesses.


The Gokai (five principles) are one of the most important elements of Reiki. At first glance, they can seem over-simplified, and many people disregard them as too obvious or of no significance. Yet they are used to help to live more joyfuly. In these five basic phrases is a wealth of wisdom around living life with peace and harmony.
In the morning and in the evening sit in the gassho position and repeat these words out loud with feeling from the depths of your heart.
