"For today only anger not, worry not.

Be Grateful and humble
Do your work with appreciation.
Be kind to all"
In the morning and at night, with hands held in prayer, Think this in your mind, chant this with your mouth.
The Usui Reiki Method to change your mind a the better --Mikao Usui --
The Reiki Principles are the heart of Reiki. The only real mastery, is self mastery. Usui taught that dedication to the principles and living them was essential. The real intent of the principles was to bring about enlightenment, peaceful living, kindness toward all, calm in your mind, and in your life. The principles embody compassionate living. They embody the Buddhist principles of Karuna (compassion toward all beings) and Metta (loving kindness to all). Humility, gratitude, not-anger, not worry, and kindness. In healing ourselves, living the principles, we find true mastery. Not mastery of Reiki, but mastery of ourselves.
Anger, Worry, Rudeness, and other ego based behaviors and feelings make it hard to connect and be with this Universal source of love, light and harmony. They also keep one asleep, unaware of the greater spiritual purpose and awakening.
The Usui Reiki System was an enlightenment system, which allowed you to heal yourself and others. It was designed to connect you to and synchronize you with the Universal Source of love, light and harmony, until you realized that you are and always were it. The system is a healing method of transcending. It should be added here, that there are very few who teach Reiki in this manner, and that in the west most teach it only as a healing system, and even more that teach it as a business.

The principles were to be said morning and at night, with hands held in the Gassho position. Likewise, they are said before meditation and before Hatsurei ho (an empowerment and meditation technique). Thinking them throughout the day helps as well. When you integrate these simple things into your life and being, you may find that they will be there when you begin to anger, worry, or are unkind to others. In this manner you learn to see the conditionings in yourself, why you do these things and heal yourself. Many find that if you say them often (i.e., For today only anger not, worry not, be grateful and humble, do your work with appreciation, be kind to all) that you become mindful of being just that.
Do your work with appreciation refers to working steadfastly on yourself. Working with diligence and effort to see those things that are not healed in you and to release the conditionings that cause your suffering.
Some may wonder what is meant by "anger not, worry not". This does not mean do not be angry, or do not worry, but something radically different. The principles are from the Meiji Emperor, and have been part of Buddhist tradition. Anger is an attachment, a demand that we, others or world conditions not be as they *are*, but as our wants desires and conditionings think they need or should be. Your focus determines your reality; where your awareness is, there you are. If your awareness is on anger not, you might begin to see (afterward a happening and your reaction at first, during a happening while you react later, and eventually before your reaction occurs) the conditionings you use to create this anger in yourself. At this point you can indeed anger not because you see the ego and conditionings that create anger in the first place, and are free to respond to the situation as it *is, rather than react to what you wanted it to be.
