The sixteenth level of the Grandmaster Reiki series. Its symbol means "the great revelation" and is about noticing the signs of change and preparing for what is coming. You learn the symbol meditation and how to give this level's attunement.
Before you enrol
Prerequisite
No prerequisite — if you feel ready, you may take it.
The Grandmaster series follows Usui Reiki Master and was added to the tradition later; the handbook for the sixteenth level comes from the original German manual. The symbol was taught to Roberta Rianad by her spirit guides. The difference is simple: at the fifteenth level you look at your own life, at the sixteenth at what lies ahead.
Revelation and the signs
The text this level rests on is the Revelation given to John. Many people take it for a book about the end of the world and keep away; yet the text blesses those who read and try to understand it, and speaks of what has been, what is and what is to come.
The signs are already there, it says; because change arrives slowly, step by step, it slips past us. The meditation of this level is done to sense that we are living through a time of change and to prepare for what is new.
A plain note
This level is not fortune-telling or prophecy; it will not give you dates, events or outcomes. I see it as inner work that helps you watch what is happening more alertly, so that change does not catch you unprepared.
What you learn on the course
- The meaning of the "great revelation" symbol and its stroke order
- A seated meditation in which you picture the symbol and work with light from above
- The place of the Book of Revelation in this level, and taking its symbolic language seriously
- Giving the sixteenth-level attunement to others, and the attunement sequence
Who is it for?
For Reiki Masters who want to continue the Grandmaster series, especially those who would like to notice changes in their lives earlier and meet them more calmly. A single attunement is given for this level, in one session.
Grandmaster Reiki XVI 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.
