Within the practice of Reiki, the concept of lineage holds a place of respect and recognition. A Reiki lineage is essentially a "family tree" of Reiki teachers, tracing the transmission of knowledge and attunement back to the founder, Mikao Usui Sensei. Each practitioner's lineage represents a unique connection to this original source, acknowledging the teachers who have carefully passed down the teachings and energetic empowerments.  

Being a Reiki lineage holder means more than simply being trained in Reiki. It signifies that the ability to attune others to Reiki has been directly conferred upon you by a qualified Reiki Master, who themselves received the same empowerment from their teacher, and so on, all the way back to Usui Sensei. This creates a living link to the history and tradition of Reiki, recognizing that the practice is part of an unbroken chain of healing and empowerment.  

While lineage is valued, it's important to understand that it doesn't imply superiority or exclusivity. Each practitioner, regardless of their specific lineage, channels the same universal life force energy. However, acknowledging and respecting lineage can provide a sense of grounding, historical context, and connection to the broader Reiki community. It's a way of honoring the journey of Reiki and the teachers who have dedicated themselves to preserving and sharing this transformative practice.
