"The Reiju this morning was absolutely WONDERFUL!!! I felt the peaceful, very relaxing energy begin to flow, at 8 am ... and I did NOT want it to end! Because I had another appointment, I reluctantly opened my eyes about 8:30. Soooo peacefull!!!

"The last time I experienced anything that relaxing -- keep in mind I've had dozens of attunements: Usui, Karuna, Gendai -- was in the 60's when I practiced TM (Transcendental Meditation). And, I've been looking for that high level relaxation and experience, ever since!!

"I clearly felt the energy, pulsating, in both my palms, which were facing up, as I rested them on the top of each knee. This coming from one who has had difficulty sensing/being aware of the Energy in myself or others!

"I was so relaxed and peaceful after the Reiju that I saw people in a more loving, peaceful way! "Wow -- how about that...!!"

REIJU

IS AN EMPOWERMENT METHOD used in the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai in Tokyo. It was first introduced to the world at large in August 1999, at a conference of Reiki Masters in Vancouver B.C., by Mr. Hiroshi Doi, a member of the Usui Gakkai.

We were told in Vancouver that Reiju was the empowerment method used by Mikao Usui (though the version demonstrated by Mr. Doi was his own Gendai Reiju). Within the next year, we learned that an English Reiki Master, Chris Marsh, had established connections with several people in Japan who had learned Reiki from Usui himself (see article about these contacts, written by Reiki Master Andrew Bowling). One of these is a Buddhist nun and a niece of Usui's wife (surname Suzuki). These people began teaching Chris the method - which they call Usui-Do (the "Usui Way") or Usui Teate ("Usui hand-application") - as they had learned it, including a Reiju procedure slightly different than Mr. Doi's.

Clearly, there were several (at least) versions of Usui's teachings. He tailored his teaching very specifically to suit the interests and abilities of each individual student; and his own knowledge and understanding naturally evolved over time, as well. Reiki Master Dave King, for example, teaches a version of Usui-Do that does not include Reiju and has nothing to do with healing others; it is strictly a way of spiritual self-connection. (Dave learned this from a Mr. Yuji Onuki, who had been taught by a close friend and student of Mikao Usui, Toshihiro Eguchi.)

The Usui-Do that Chris Marsh has been learning, though also primarily for one's own spiritual awakening, does involve some healing of others. It's widely accepted that Usui himself was greatly renowned as a healer (his fame in this regard probably coming from his healing of countless victims of the 1923 Kanto earthquake). And one of Usui's final students, Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, is the one who focused Usui's teachings almost completely toward the healing of others. Most likely, it was also Hayashi who began calling the method Reiki instead of Usui-Do.

In any case, energetic empowerments of some kind are fundamental to Reiki as currently practiced. These are often called "attunements" or "transformations" (a term and a procedure also coined by Hayashi, it seems). Since learning the Usui Reiju procedure given to Chris Marsh by the Japanese students, I've been using it exclusively - with remarkable results, both in person and remotely.

My conscious intent, in using Usui Reiju, is to open what I call the Source-dimension within the recipient. I feel that every particle of matter is created and sustained by this non-physical Source-dimension within it (see the article Source Energy) -- and my intent is to open and expand the continuous flow of this Source-energy, for our awakening and well-being.

If you would like to receive Usui Reiju, it's my pleasure to give. You can move your pointer to the photo of the cactus blossom (above), where you will then see a photo of me. If you click on the photo, you'll be able to send me an email. Please tell me a little about yourself - where you live, whether you have any experience with Reiki, and anything else you like - and we'll arrange a time for you to receive Usui Reiju (it takes only a few minutes).

For those who would like to learn to give Usui Reiju, it's taught as part of Shinpiden (3rd-level Reiki). Please feel free to email me about that, as well (distance is no problem; I have students all over the world).

Mahnaz Aziz - Karachi, Pakistan - June 6, 2006:

Gigi Murakami - Waikiki, O'ahu, Hawai'i - June 5, 2006:
"I want to thank you for the reiju session. I went out in nature like you said - lay on the shore of Kahala Beach. At around the time we said, I heard chanting and felt a deep peace around. I could feel like a hand sweeping over me. Then at one point there was an intense feeling, like something..." (read more...)

Nina Dunn - Blyth, Northumberland, England - June 2, 2006:
"I can't begin to thank you enough for the gift of Reiju empowerment. It began with the most overwhelming sense of peace and the gentlest ecstasy, followed by tingling sensations all over. Then my body was quite literally bathed continually, from the crown downwards, with waves of pure loving energy. I was left feeling stronger, healed and all together 'at one'. You should be made available weekly on the NHS [National Health Service]." (read more...)

Sanaz Sanaye - Tehran, Iran - April 21, 2006:
"I want to thank you for the Reiju ... I felt peace ... and very very sleepy. ...since you have been giving me and Abbas the Reiju we feel a difference in our awareness and in our healing abilities and in our Reiki class and during giving attunement ... We have many students and many sick people we work on ... and Reiju has made things very different...."

Ryan Thomas - New Castle, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. - November 13, 2005:

Torbjörn Hedström - Stockholm, Sweden - September 17, 2005:
"The feeling was magnificent! Something happening with my crown chakra, my hair become elektrisk(some of it) :) and a warm feeling in my stomach and hands was spreading all over in my body!

"The best of all, i was smiling =) a lot after the reiju feeling werry happy...!"

Kathryn Mahoney - Taunton, Massachusetts, U.S.A. - September 15, 2005:
"I just wanted to thank you for the Reiju last night. It was amazing. My arms and legs started a low vibration and my Reiki turned on. Then, my head had the same vibration start that created a rather numbing effect on my face. When it was done, I had all this extra healing energy built up that I did some distant Reiki myself, sending it where needed, until the vibration in my hands subsided. It was an absolutely incredible experience. To think, you're in Hawaii and I'm in Massachusetts."

Markus van der Westhuizen - Cape Town, South Africa - August 26, 2005:
"When the Reiju started my hands got warmer and there was more tingling in my fingers and palms. ... Halfway through the Reiju I opened my eyes, but I could not physically see anything. I could just see things on an energy level and therefore it is very difficult to explain what I saw. I saw a great play of energy all around...." (read more...)

Heather Williams - Wiltshire, England - August 7, 2005:
"Twenty minutes before reiju, I prepared my room with candles and calming music and sat in quiet meditation. I became aware that my feet had become very warm. ... Shortly, I saw a rainbow of chakra colours. ... The colours faded and my feet cooled but I was unable to move. ....

"Reflecting on my Reiju experience, I have realised that I felt so much more in receiving Reiju than I did being attuned to first level Reiki." (read more...)

Heiné de Waal - Cape Town, South Africa - July 20, 2005:
"First I felt a presence of someone standing at my feet, then room filled with 'people'. I got emotional. Then I could feel my crown chakra opening, to the point that it almost was painful, then my 6th chakra, then my base. My hands and feet started to warm up and tingle. The sensation died off after about 20 mins. I was very spaced out, but feeling wonderful.

"This is now 15 min after the experience and as I type this, I can still feel a sensation in my crown chakra."

Donna Riley - Buckinghamshire, England - April 24, 2005:
"Thank you for the Reiju empowerment, it was very beautiful. My hands at the beginning felt a warmth wash over them and a tingle. I then felt waves of Reiki flowing up then down and then the energy began to swirl...." (read more...)

Zeynep Yilmaz - Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A. - April 14, 2005:
"Thank you so much for the Reiju Empowerment....

"I felt like I was uplifted as soon as the energy entered into my body and this 'uplifting' sensation continued throughout the session. I am usually not very energy sensitive, but I felt like it worked its way from upper chakras to down. ....

"The next morning, as soon as I got out I was surprised with the bright colors and smells. Everything looked so vivid!" (read more...)

Tess Rawlins - London, England - March 29, 2005:
"The reiju empowerment was wonderful. ...I lay down and immediately felt a familiar sensation that I feel when I receive an empowerment. It feels like a gauze-like fabric is being placed over my face and the sensation occurs over and over again. ...." (read more...)

Kay Avila - Plymouth, California, U.S.A. - March 29, 2005:
"Want to share my Reiju energy experience: ...I began to experience my heart beating faster -- sometimes happens when my body is acknowledging outside of self energy. After about 5 minutes, the heart returned to normal and I was filled with a sense of peace and gratitude. ... At the base of my spine where Kundalini resides, I felt a buzz -- or a vibration. Continued to be filled with the feeling of peace, gratitude and love."

Angelina Haber - Lawton, Oklahoma, U.S.A. - March 14, 2005:
"You know, my Reiki is much, much stronger now since the Reiju you sent. I can really feel it. Today I was with several people and it was amazing, just amazing. It would feel to me as if the person's whole body was vibrating, almost rocking, when my hands were on them. And the feeling of energy coming out of my hands is beyond words. I just can't get over how tickled I am about all of this. It's really made a huge difference." (read more...)

Dr. Zeyneb Belbez, M.D. - Istanbul, Turkey - March 10, 2005:
"The second time I got Reiju was different from the first. ... It was as if my 4th and 6th chakras were being pulled outward.

"I had two Reiki 1 classes last week. The experience was great for me. I felt as if it was me who was being attuned! The energy was so powerful. I only had one class ... before you sent Reiju and the experience was nothing like these two classes. And during these recent classes my hands became extremely sensitive." (read more...)

Paul Edson - Wrightstown, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. - March 5, 2005:
"I received the Reiju this morning, thank you very much. My hands began to warm 45 minutes prior to our scheduled time. The experience was very different than a "standard" Takata based attunement. It was very gentle and slowly picked up on intensity. I could feel...." (read more...)
