Principles Komyo ReikiDo
The Buddha says:
“Everything whatsoever has the mind as the source. The mind is the master builder, and of the mind is everything made.
If with an impure mind one speaks or acts, suffering follows him in the same way as the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.”
“Everything whatsoever has the mind as the source. The mind is the master builder, and of the mind is everything made.
If with a pure mind one speaks or acts, happiness follows him like his shadow that never leaves him.”
(Dhammapada)
REIKI PRINCIPLES
KOMYO REIKIDO VERSION
BE HERE/NOW
BE GLAD
BE HAPPY
BE THANKFUL
BE DILIGENT
BE KIND
BE REIKI
Note:
Be glad means ‘void of anger’, Be happy means ‘void of worry’
In the practice of Reiki Principles lie huge rewards and spiritual growth. The practice should be incorporated into your daily routine.
- Focus on the present. Stay in the here/now. It is important to remember that there is no other moment like the present. The present is the only real thing you can work with. Never mind yesterday, never mind tomorrow.
- Be glad and grateful first to yourself for being here, now and alive, which is a miracle.
- Give your thanks to yourself, then to all beings and things around you. Say a big “thank-you” to anything that is happening to you. Be thankful for little things, big things, everything.
- Your attitude towards yourself conditions your attitude towards others.
- If you are sincerely grateful to yourself, anybody and anything around you, there is no anger, nor worry. There is only the feeling of thankfulness or gratitude.
- Be glad and grateful that only something good happens. Give thanks to any life’s challenges trusting that anything, event, situation etc, will turn out good. Anything can be … “A blessing in disguise.”
- Look within and without, and count your blessings. Keep a “gratitude” journal.
- Be thankful, (thought) Say “thank-you” (speech) and bow your thanks (bodily action).
- Go back to nature and be embraced by the beauties of hers, which you rise
above the world of duality. - A daily practice of “non-attachment” or “Go placidly in the midst of praise or blame”.
- Rise above the temporal world of duality. Be calm and peaceful, and walk placidly on a path to the world of Oneness or Non-separation.
- Do not get attached to anything, good or bad. Remember that from attachment comes suffering.
- Enjoy a cup of tea, which helps you to transcend the world of the pairs of opposites.
“Of the mind is everything made“.
With an impure mind one creates illnesses and sufferings.
With a pure mind one creates well-being and happiness.
“Of the mind is everything made” can be rephrased “Of the word is everything made.”
I create as I speak
(I create like the word.)
You create your world and phenomena with your own words and that the good words attract good things, the bad words attract bad things.
A good cause brings forth a good effect and a bad cause, a bad effect.
In ancient Japanese the word for “words” (koto言 ) and “things”(事 koto) was the same.
Japanese word “koto” meant both the word (言)and the thing(事 ).
Yamato (Japan) was considered as “the land where Kotodama helps thrive.”
Ancient Japanese people believed that the word was “Kami” (Divine Being) or deity. They believed “everything one speaks will become real.”
Simply put, the word is reality.
If you realize how powerful your words are, you should make a conscious effort to choose your words carefully before you speak.
Your speech should be positive, kind, gentle and compassionate. It should never be negative, harsh, critical, hurtful or malevolent.
The word becomes consciousness (thought) and action. The word determines one’s consciousness and action, even physical conditions, that is, health and/or illness.
For instance, if you keep on saying “I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear it…” Keep on repeating the word, eventually your ears will cease functioning and you will have difficulty in hearing.
Information provided from Komyo ReikiDo manuals with Hyakuten Inamoto permission.
“Traditionally Reiju 靈授 (initiation) is given in person; face to face.
“Touch” (the laying-on of hands) plays a pivotal role in Reiju process; a series of things we do in order to achieve a particular result. Touch in the form of the laying-on of hands is to impart the healing energy and information to Reiki Ryoho students. There is an unbroken succession of Teachers and Shihans, linked by the sacred touch of Reiju ritual, right back to the founder, Usui Sensei.
Reiju with “touch” — a visual symbol of an unseen transmission of not just of the healing energy but also of the information. Touch is a means of communication, an expression of unity, a bonding of people. It is a key to giving and receiving information and to help us bond.
Is “distant (online) Reiju “possible?
Theoretically it seems possible, for there exists a distant healing in Reiki Ryoho systems. And yet we need to understand that sending Reiki energy from a distance to someone and passing (imparting) Reiki energy and the information on to another is a different story, and that the distant Reiju does lack an important and pivotal factor, that is, “TOUCH.” The pivotal factor of a good old tradition: “in person Reiju” and “touch” must be maintained.”
Hyakuten Inamoto Sensei’s statement from July, 2020.

Komyo ReikiDo dis-allows on-line Reiki classes with distant Reiju & will not recognise certificates issued by these classes.
Komyo ReikiDo follows, preserves and keeps IN PERSON Reiju tradition alive with the highest respect to the Founder of the Japanese Healing Art, Usui Mikao Sensei.
Online Reiju is not allowed by Inamoto Sensei and is not recognized in the Komyo ReikiDo standards of teaching and practice.

During Reiki Ryoho (Japanese Healing Art) sessions, some practitioners can be more sensitive than others, some may even feel byosen before a treatment starts. Some have psychic abilities and are able to hear, see or sense things that most people do not. If we experience all that, naturally we are tempted to think that we are doing the healing. We start to analyse what we feel, hear and see. We try to work out where the energy should go and what would be the best way to cure a disease or malfunction of the recipient – all because we sincerely want to help.
Often the question arises: What should we do when we became so sensitive, when we see and hear things, or feel pain in our body or strong hibiki in our hands?
Inamoto Sensei says: “It is all very personal, some people are more gifted than others, more sensitive or skilful. Not everyone has to have such gifts or abilities. It can be very helpful to sense imbalances or health disorders in recipients, but basically, we don’t need anything like that. We are here just to place our hands.”
Hyakuten Inamoto Sensei reminds us that: “Japanese Healing Art of Reiki Ryoho is not about doing or thinking. It is about SURRENDER 100% to the Universe. As Reiki Ryoho practitioners, we DO NOTHING and THINK NOTHING in the way of healing. Reiki knows where to go and how to heal for the highest good of the person. We need to be the purer (cleaner) Reiki channel (conduit) possible. Less ego, more room for love — the healing energy of the Universe.”
Inamoto Sensei’s advice to us is: “Do not get attached to your sensations. Your ego and self-clinging are an obstruction in the channel for Reiki healing energy to travel through. Keep your practice simple: Place your hands, surrender and smile. Reiki Ryoho is the art of surrendering.”

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, people all over the world have been struggling with all kinds of health issues and mental, emotional and spiritual disorders. Naturally, as Reiki Ryoho (Japanese Healing Art) practitioners, we want to do all we can to serve and support others. We may now be offering distant Reiki healing more often, individually or as part of a group.
Questions often arise around permission and distant healing. Are we allowed to do distant healing without permission? Should we inform recipients? Is it appropriate to send Reiki to someone without asking them? Could it cause bad karma?
Actually, the answer might be quite simple. Hyakuten Inamoto Sensei always says: “Reiki is the energy of the Universe. It is Reiki that does the fine job of healing. Reiki always works for the highest good of recipient”.
Inamoto Sensei reminds us that we do nothing in the way of healing. As Reiki Ryoho practitioners, we put our ego aside and just surrender to Reiki.
When asked about his own practice, approach, Inamoto Sensei usually answers: “I do distant Reiki healing with permission and without permission. Sometimes we cannot get it, especially when the person is in a coma or emergency room or just simply uncontactable”.
His advice to us is: “Follow your heart — your kokoro. If you feel more comfortable with permission, please ask for permission. But if it’s not possible to get a permission, remember that Reiki always works for the highest good with permission or without permission. Trust Reiki”.
