In Reiki, the petals of my life begin to unfold.

Gaze at an orchid. Marvel at its fragile beauty.
Relax on the grass under a tree. Inhale the sweet shade and comfort.

Volunteer at the Humane Society. Rejoice in the smile of a dog.
Cherish horses. Remember all they have given for humankind.

Smile as I teach my children. Listen to the wisdom they impart.
Adore my spouse. Appreciate his loving support and kindness.

Honor my own uniqueness. Encourage others also to find their own paths.

In Reiki, the flower that is my life blooms.
