REIKI LINEAGE

A Reiki lineage is an energetic family tree - the ancestry of our practice. All Reiki Practitioners can trace their roots back to Mikao Usui who founded the System of Reiki in the 1920s.

Brighitta trained as a teacher in both the Western and Japanese Usui Reiki traditions. Both have wonderful benefits to support the Reiki practice - where the Western lineage (transplanted from Japan to Hawaii in 1936 by Hayashi and Takata) focuses on healing as a complementary therapy, the Japanese lineage (which stayed in Japan until the late 1980s) focuses primarily on meditation and spiritual growth. The two together demonstrate the full scope of this beautiful system, each carrying rich information and possibility for our journeys of healing and awakening. Brighitta teaches both Eastern + Western schools of thought together on her courses, and students of Awakening Light are certified as practitioners of Usui Reiki Ryoho and Usui Shiki Ryoho.
