Reiki precepts in Japanese -

Kyo dake wa

Okolu-na

Shinpai suna

Kansha shite

Goo hage me

Hito ni shinsetsu ni

Anger is fear based and related to past events. Worry is future based, both take you out of the present moment. By drawing your attention to these by saying ‘do not’, you are excepting them, and allowing yourself to become present.

A beautiful way to define the precepts, is to understand them as the root of the system of Reiki.
