Lineage
Dr. Mikao Usui
Usui was born on 15th August 1865 into a wealthy family. He travelled extensively in Europe and China and studied medicine, psychology and religions. He then entered the business world and became a successful businessman.
In 1914 his business life started to fail and he returned to his spiritual roots at Mount Kurama. Here he entered the Buddhist retreat on the mountain. Fasting, chanting, prayers and meditation were practiced.One particular meditation involved standing under a waterfall, allowing the waters to flow over the top of the head. It is thought this is when he had a mystical experience, his own spiritual initiation, (attunement), directly from the source.His own healing abilities were enhanced without depleting his own energy, in fact he was just a channel, a bamboo reed, for the energy to flow through.
If you have read about Reiki on the Internet then you will undoubtedly have come across references to Reiki “lineage”. 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. So all Reiki people should be able to trace their Reiki “family tree” showing that their teacher was taught by this person, and they were taught by that person, and they were taught by this person, leading all the way back, in an unbroken line, to the founder of Reiki.

To have the Reiki lineage traced from here in Devon, all the way back to Japan is an amazing thing. Reiki is all over the world now and Devon, Torbay and Torquay are no different. Good feeling is spreading and Devon can lead the way in the UK.
