Gokai - The Five Reiki Principles

The gokai were devised by Usui sensei as an integral part of Reiki.  He placed great importance on them and advised students to say them in the morning and at night.  In the seminars, students are taught to say this in Japanese and we go into his reasons for producing the gokai and the wonderful wisdom that such simple words hold.
