Hi Firekeeper
You say:
"- I will stand by my perceptions of necessary distinctions between doing distance enegy work for healing and doing any sort of distance attunement or initiation
- I do not favor the latter"
As someone who has received all their Denju-type initiations (Reiki, Seichem, etc., etc.) via direct 'hands-on' contact, (and passes attunements/initiations in this way too,) I would, on the whole, agree that either distant Denju or distant Reiju - as an Initial (and I stress: 'Initial') attunement/initiation is possibly not an ideal approach.
However, once an individual has had either Denju or Reiju 'in person', I am of the opinion that receiving 'distant' Reiju is a valid and effective method of facilitating the deepening and grounding of the individual's connection.
Coming from a background of purely touch-contact and close proximity aura-work based therapeutic modalities as I do, I was initially - on hearing of the possibility of carrying out distant Reiki attunements/initiations - unsure as to the validity of such practice, and began investigation to attempt to determine its value.
Objective, empirical study is not an easy thing in a case such as this - the Reiki experience being a personal and subjective one - so I go with the feedback from those on the receiving end, so to speak.
The ongoing 'Reiju Experience' project which I am running at All Energy-Therapies Web is simply a result of that feedback.
