Lineage

What is a Lineage?

Reiki Lineage is the list of all other Reiki Masters / founder that has come before you and that leads to your own trainer.

"Lineage", for Reiki practitioners, is the historical list of Reiki Masters from whom one and one's Reiki Masters have received teaching, attunement, and certification. The lineage does not represent any form of authority, only history, pride and respect.  -  By Sensei Linda Nickel

The importance of Reiki Lineage

Because Reiki is an ability conferred via initiation, each practitioner should (theoretically at least) be able to trace their lineage back from teaching master to teaching master - right back to Usui-Sensei.

In Usui Shiki Ryoho and also in some of the more recently evolved Reiki styles, considerable emphasis is placed on awareness of ones lineage and each student is provided with lineage details as a matter of course.

There are at least a couple of reasons why lineage-awareness is of importance.

Firstly, lineage-awareness is a matter of Respect.
In acknowledging their lineage a practitioner is acknowledging the teachers in that lineage - their 'Reiki forebears', as it were.

And secondly, with all the various different styles of Reiki in existence (and with further new variations still evolving - as existing styles meet and merge, and adopt-in techniques, practices and conceptual frameworks from other therapeutic modalities and esoteric belief-systems) the more aware a practitioner is of their own specific lineage in the 'Reiki Family', the more they can come to understand the various influencing factors which have shaped the teachings they themselves have received.
