The fifteenth level of the Grandmaster Reiki series. Its symbol means "the great way" and is about finding your own path in life and recognising your gifts. You learn the meditation with this symbol and how to give this level's attunement to others.
Before you enrol
Prerequisite
No prerequisite — if you feel ready, you may take it.
The fifteenth level is one step in the Grandmaster series that follows Usui Reiki Master; its handbook comes from the original German manual. The symbol came to Roberta Rianad from her spirit guides. It means "the great way" and accompanies a person along their own path, in the way that is right for them.
What does the great way describe?
The symbol is named after the Buddhist teaching of the Great Way, which centres on wisdom, spiritual love and compassion. This teaching looks at the intention behind an action rather than its outward form, and asks a person to mature their own abilities and use them as well as they can.
The parable of the talents
I also tell the parable of the talents from Matthew 25: the servants who put what they were entrusted with to work, and the one who buried it. Let me be clear: the fruitfulness in this story does not mean earning money. It means noticing the gifts you have been given and using them, so that your life and the lives around you become more meaningful. This level carries no promise of material gain.
What you learn on the course
- The meaning of the "great way" symbol and how it is drawn
- The symbol meditation for when you are looking for your path, or want to walk it without falling into its traps
- The three pillars of the Great Way teaching: wisdom, spiritual love and compassion
- Looking at your own gifts through the parable of the talents
- Giving the fifteenth-level attunement to others, and the attunement sequence
Who is it for?
For Reiki Masters who want to continue the Grandmaster series. It suits those searching for a direction as well as those who have found their path and wonder how to walk it. A single attunement is given for this level, in one session.
Grandmaster Reiki XV is a complementary energy practice; it does not replace a doctor, a psychologist or medication.
The attunement and afterwards
The attunement is given at a distance: at the time we agree, in your own time zone, you sit or lie down somewhere quiet. Your handbook and a certificate with your lineage arrive by email, and you can write to me with anything on your mind.

The manual. You receive the course handbook in my own edition — faithful to the source text, re-set so that it reads clearly on a screen.
Prerequisite
You are expected to have been working actively as a Reiki Master for at least six months, and the levels are taken in sequence. This is a guideline rather than a gate — it is what works for most people.
Some students arrive ready by another route, through years of their own practice, even without having taken these particular systems. If you feel ready, you may go ahead; the decision is yours.
One thing said plainly: an attunement opens as far as the ground beneath it allows. If that ground is not settled yet, the level is still given, but you may not see the response you hoped for straight away. That is not a failure, only timing — a level taken early usually waits for you and settles into place once you are ready.
If you are not sure, choose the free introductory conversation first. We talk on WhatsApp, look at where you are, and decide together which level to continue from.
