A Reiki lineage is a list of Reiki Masters (teachers) starting with the person that taught you Reiki and then going back, teacher by teacher, to the founder of Reiki, Mikao Usui. A reiki practitioner is therefore able to illustrate via their Reiki “family tree” who taught who and so on leading all the way back to Dr Usui the founder of Reiki. I was taught by Richard Ellis a reiki master practitioner and teacher with over 20 years experience and an author of numerous books on reiki, reiki lineage and chakras.
