Asana and Reading for June 2010
Reading
When you are on your yoga mat in class, it is very important to try to be In The Present Moment. Once you step off your yoga mat, you should try to keep that in mind. Our reading for the month of June is a quick set of 5 rules that will help you to remember to focus your mind on the NOW. This way, we can live a life where we learn from the past, live harmoniously in the present, and plan for the future.
Everyone has their own worries and insecurities. These problems increase when we think too much about the past (regretting what we did or didn’t do) or when we think too much about the future (worrying about things that have not happened yet).
The founder of Reiki, a man called Mikao Usui, wrote these five rules, the “Five Reiki Principles” as a guide for anyone to follow to have a happier, healthier life.
| Just for today | 今日だけは |
| do not get angry | 怒るな |
| do not worry | 心配すな |
| be grateful | 感謝して |
| work diligently | 業をはげめ |
| be kind to everyone | 人に親切に |
If we think about life this way – taking it day by day, moment for moment – then life suddenly becomes much easier. We all make mistakes. You might have gotten angry yesterday, but today is a new day. You might have been unkind to someone last week, but don’t worry. Just try again today. Every morning when you wake up, tell yourself that you will be the best person that you can be. Just for today.
