words for thought


To Meditate/Contemplate:
Whatever arises, let me dwell in the secret place of the most high.
Let there be a place of stillness in the midst of turmoil.
Let there be a place of order in the chaos.
Let there be a place of love and beauty in the midst of fear and ugliness.
Let my presence be a beacon of enfolding radiance in every circumstance.
--Martin Exeter

Principles of Reiki
Just for today I will live the attitude of gratitude
Just for today I will not worry
Just for today I will not anger
Just for today I will do my work honestly
Just for today I will show love and respect for every living thing

I love these beautiful thoughts. They create a mood and bring peace of mind. I should memorize The Principles of Reiki. I have reasons to be grateful everyday. Like our Mom and Dad I have learned to endure. Worry doesn't help anything. As Dad once told me, "I know it isn't easy, but just keep trying." And of course there is the old "The Lord hates a coward" comment of his. Hang onto your belief that the quality of your interior life is what makes life good. And keep believing in God and in yourself. That's what comes to mind when I read your post, Fiddler.

thank you for sharing...the principles of Reiki are worth practicing minute by minute as the day unfolds....jumping to conclusions/reacting is my specialty.....this mantra might at least slow me down...ellen

The "attitude of gratitude." I could remember to live with that more often. Thanks for reminding me. :)
