The 5th Fifth Principle of Reiki

Just for today – I will count my blessings !

Life tends to give us what we need, it may not be what we want but it will be what we need. Karmicly throughout our lives we receive what we need to grow and learn in this lifetime. 

If we grasp these lessons and grow accordingly we will become spiritually enlightened. Instead of wasting your life complaining of the things that have happened to you, and the problems you face. 

Step back for a moment on a regular basis and discover and appreciate the many blessings in your life. 

Make a list of all your blessings. You will be amazed at how many wonderful things there are to give thanks for. Leave the materialistic things aside.

They are shallow and meaningless. Pay attention to, and focus on the things that are free and bring joy and humility to your life. For example, your mind, body, spirit, health, family, friends, flowers, trees, sea, sun, love, faith, knowledge, the countryside, animals, birds, etc., the list is endless. 

I remember that my diary 2012, 2013 & 2014 was filled with gratitude statements everyday I have probably practiced gratitude as a habit since 10 years now. When I am stuck Im grateful . When I am in pain , I try and see the positive side of why this pain in the first place. I try to see the sunny side in everything.

When I appreciated the true wonders of life and let go of the materialistic needs ,I started to enjoy my life more.
