Rhonda McComas- Athens, Ohio, U.S.A. - August 26, 2002:

"I need to tell you about the Reiju. I lay down to receive my Reiju. I felt pulsing waves of what I would call energy, around my head and face. I felt myself sinking into a soft peaceful place with a smile on my face, "so this is Reiju" I thought as I drifted deeper into meditation/sleep, I'm not sure which because all of a sudden I was aware of waves of energy washing/rushing over my whole body..one after another like the waves on the beach. It was like I was watching myself, still had a smile on my face and all I thought was, 'WOW!' I was holding on like you would on a roller coaster ride....!"

AND February 12, 2004....

"I got ready to receive my Reiju, trying not to have any preconceived ideas and to just let things happen. My mind wouldn't cooperate. I decided if i couldn't quiet my mind i would think on Reiki, this started to quiet my mind.

"It started very quietly, then grew in intensity, a vibration moving through my body. It continued to grow stronger but not overwhelming. my mind settled into a very peaceful place. I guess that's the word i will use for this experience, Peaceful, calming. I can't tell you how long the vibration stayed.. i calmed down and drifted away."
