Just for Today ...



This is just one of the many versions of this chant that is available, and possibly the most well known.

It has a 'Live in the Moment,' feel to it, which seems a good way to live and resonates well with my own lifestyle.

Other versions and explanations can be found here  including the original five Reiki principles as laid down by the original Reiki Master,  Mikao Usui. His story is an interesting one and well documented. Well worth reading, if you haven't yet had the pleasure.

I have tried to locate the author of this particular version, but have been unable to do so. If anyone knows who wrote it, please let me know, so that full attribution may be given.

This is a time to celebrate the new life growing all around us, to bless seeds that are ready
