I've heard so many versions, but yes this follows my thinking. What gets me is the lineage back too him. I was told the British reiki federation could find my lineage for £150. To me this is irrelevant as long as you have been taught be a respected master then is has obviously come from the original in some form or another. We all have the ability and to me lineage of a bit corporate. Sorry a rant there 💯🐒
