A lineage is the line of teaching that your teacher has been trained in. A teacher's lineage reflects the information that the teacher will be passing on to the student. Therefore different lineages will have different techniques, philosophies and understandings of working with the system of Reiki. Some lineages even have different histories. Before beginning a course it is important to know the lineage of the teacher to see if it is a branch of the system of Reiki recognized by the UKRF, and to see if the course suits your needs. Since the system of Reiki began in the early 1900s and was brought to the West in 1938 by Hawayo Takata, there have been various histories and understandings about the system of Reiki.
