Spirithealer, can you give a quick blurb
about Reiju, so folks who are not familiar
with it can understand what it is and maybe
become an active participant.

Of course I can
REIJU EMPOWERMENTS
It is Usui's original way to enable a student to channel Reiki. They used to gather weekly and practice Reiki and various Reiki techniques on each other. When the meeting had finished,Master Usui would give a Reiju to each student as they were meditating. This would enable the student to progress further on their Reiki path.
We now know these in the West as Attuenments.The major difference being that Usui used Kotodamas instead of symbols to send / activate the Reiju's. The symbols came into it,it is said,when Ususi knew Reiki was coming to the West and felt that symbols would be easier for us Westerners to understand than the Buddhist originated Kotodamas.
What does a Reiju do?
Reiju's connect's the student to the Reiki source and strengthens the connection.
Reiju's can help the student to progress in all aspects of their lives. It enhances the energy levels,which can be helped by the daily Reiki self treatment practice.
Giving (master ) and receiving ( student ) Reiju empowerments,gives each other the opportunity to develop intuition and sensitivity to the energy.This can be done weekly or indeed daily.
I hope this might give you a better understanding to how and why they work as they do! And is only my understanding of it!
HOW TO RECIEVE
This is what you can do to receive the empowerment:
If you know about Hatsu Rei Ho, the basic energy exercises of
Japanese 'Gakkai' Reiki, then go through the sequence as normal.
When you have performed Seishin Toitsu for a few minutes, stay with
your hands in Gassho and say to yourself 'I will receive my
empowerment from Steve now'.
If you are not familiar with Hatsu Rei Ho, simply get yourself
comfortable in a chair, with your eyes closed and your hands in the
prayer position. Take a few deep breaths to calm yourself, and then
say to yourself 'I will receive my empowerment from Steve now'.
\Hope this helps.....

Re: Reiju
Hi,
The only thing I would like to say about Reiju is that it is not the same as an attunement. In other words, a real Reiju is not supposed to be the same as an attunement, it is not supposed to connect the student to anything.
It is a spiritual blessing. As everything Usui-sensei taught, this is also meant to help the student on his/her path towards happiness, harmony, spiritual development and eventually spiritual enlightenment. Reiju is meant to help the student in his own practise. There is a huge difference between connecting a student to an energy/to pass on the ability to channel energy and to help a student in his own practise.

Reiju - Spiritual blessing (known as attunement in modern Reiki systems). One of the five elements of the system of Reiki. It is a ritual that the teacher performs to energetically support the student.
Reiki , the Energy – Spiritual Energy. Reiki is the name of the energy utilized in the system of Reiki.
Reiki, the System of – Created by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 1900s as a self-development practice which in modern times has also evolved into a hands-on healing therapy. The complete system includes five elements which are precepts, hands-on healing, techniques, symbols and mantras, and the receiving of reiju.
As you say and as it says here it is too help the student on their path.....

Re: Reiju
here's something, hehe...
a 'western approach' as Usui Shiki Ryoho, is a Japanese way. Taught by a Japanese man, to a Japanese woman...
though this could get off-topic, hehe..

In my practise I try to stay as true to Usui-sensei's teachings and those of the URR Gakkai as possible.
Generally people would call that a Japanese Reiki approach. So yes, I come from a Japanese way.
You quoted a nice text and I could agree with most it.
Reiju - Spiritual blessing (known as attunement in modern Reiki systems).
This suggests that Reiju and attunement is the same and that the 'modern Reiki' approach of it is the same.
And I do not agree with that. In my experience Reiju is different from an attunement/initiation. Although there are various forms of Reiju, they are not the same as the various forms of attunements/initiations.

Re: Reiju
I have used both ways coming originaly from Western way to the Japanese way
Attuenments do vary same as Reiju do but in my humble experience the Reiju works so much better with my students

Re: Reiju
Hi,
Reiju is a very special spiritual blessing. It can take years before one has spiritually developed enough to give a Reiju correctly.
You can learn the outer process of the ritual (which, in the end, is not that important), but one cannot learn what is supposed to happen inside and on an energetic level from online instructions (or instructions in a book for that matter).
So I would advise to go to a good and experienced teacher.
Not to be annoying or anything, but because I believe that is the best way and I wish you the best.

"Distance Reiju" ?
It is possible, yes. But that does not mean everyone should do it

Re: Reiju
maybe i m myth-ridden, or i don't know, but whenever i imagine a reiju ceremony, i feel its flavour different from a reiki session....
i would normally be assuming a high level teacher (someone like Usui Sensei ) while the reciepient(s) will be in gassho before him, with eyes closed, hearts and minds attentive to the process, and perhaps the place will not be anything less than a dojo/prayer-hall
but, of course, differentiating myth from reality is something RLL is continuously striving at

(I'm not sure about the meaning of the word "myth-ridden" and my dictionaries can't help me out on this one. Could you explain to me what you mean by it?)
Concerning Reiju.. I can imagine the assumption of a high level teacher, the recipient in gasshō and so on. It is true that only people of a 'high spiritual level' can give a 'real' or 'correct' Reiju (that is because this profound blessing requires a certain spiritual/energetic/meditative state of Being, which can take years of practise). This is a necessity.
It is also true that generally a Reiju is given to a student while the student sits in seiza, with hands in gasshō and meditates. All this in the presence of the teacher.
But these aspects are not absolute necessities.
A Reiju could be given over a distance (that's just how energy and consciousness works).
Gasshō is not even an absolute necessity either (although it does help a great deal and it definitely has an important energetic effect, which is necessary for receiving Reiju. Though an experienced "Usui dōka" might be able to reach the same energetic and meditative state that is required it generally is advised to always sit in gasshō when receiving Reiju.)
Receiving Reiju during a specific meditation is usually also done. You can receive Reiju without carrying out a meditation, but then you'll most likely miss out on some benefits of Reiju. You can receive it without meditation, but you'll probably won't get the most out of it.

I'm glad to find people who think the same about this.

Re: Reiju
Hiya Frank,
It should be said, that anyone who has recieved a Reiki attunement, involving the Master symbol in particular, can pass on something. they can use any Reiju form they wish. Reiju is a spiritual blessing/gift. i'll agree to disagree with whomever it is you allude to that is saying that a person needs to be spiritually advanced to provide a 'real' or 'true' Reiju, hehe. suffice to say, every person on earth is advanced spiritually in their own way, and, Reiki practitioners themselves, get a little head start, as do other spiritual paths.
the quality, or depth of what is conferred during any Reiju can be down to the person performing it. i agree with this in part. however, just a small spark is all that is needed to light everything up. what's very important is the work the recipient then does on themselves on the on-going basis.
re: Salman. the experience of a Reiki treatment would of course feel different than Reiju. We're interacting with spirit in a different way, for a different purpose.
disntance Reiju. without a doubt it's possible. there is no such thing as distance anyhow, hehe. Though, both you & i know this on an intellectual level Salman, and we've done work at it on an experiental level also together, within us, there is still sub-consciously the beleif of distance (also the myth of time). so, i'd expect us to have very different expereinces when we meet up for the in-person stuff, .
warmest wishes
Wayne
