About Me.

Vicki's Reiki Lineage

​

A Reiki Lineage is a documented "family tree" tracing a practitioners master back to founder Mikao Usui, ensuring the authenticity of the training.  All valid lineages originate with Usui, typically flowing through Chujiro Hayashi to Hawayo Takata within western practices; and through various Japanese societies within eastern practices.

​

Hawayo Takata

Japanese-American woman, and student of Dr. Hyashi. Trained in Tokyo and introduced the practice of Reiki

to the Western World through her practice in Hawaii in 1937. 

​

Dr. Churjiro Hyashi

Naval Physician and student of Usui who took over Usui's practice after his death.  Through his scientic approach and dedication to healing he helped expand Reiki into a more effective, structured practice propelling Reiki into the mainstream. 

​

Mikao Usui

Student of history, medicine, Buddhism, Christianity, psychology and Taoism; Usui founded modern day Reiki in Japan in the 1920's after experiencing a spiritual awakening upon Mt Kurama and acquiring the ability to heal. Usui created a method in which to connect others to "universal life force" energy through a master-student training method that involves use of reiju, or attunements, to remind students of their spiritual connection, and empowering them to connect with Reiki energy.   ​​​​​​
