Reiki was born in Japan out of the experience and the dedication of Dr Mikao Usui (d.1926) who, responding to a challenge by some of his students, undertook extensive study, research and meditation, evolving a healing system based on ancient teachings.
He spent the rest of his life practising and teaching this method of natural healing. Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who are trained in the tradition passed down from master to student.
There is no belief system attached to Reiki so anyone can receive or learn to give a Reiki treatment.
Lineage can be compared to your family tree.
In the case of spiritual teachings a teaching is passed from the master to student and then passed on unaltered to preserve and contain the all original intention and teaching of the master.
The purity of lineage is dependent upon the teaching not changing as it is taught from one master to the next.
