Two levels that continue on from the Usui Master stage; they are given together and one after the other, because they represent Yin and Yang. Prerequisite: to have been an active Reiki Master for at least six months.
Before you enrol
Prerequisite
You should have been an active Reiki Master for at least six months.
Reiki levels V and VI do not come directly from Mikao Usui. At first these levels had no symbols; they were developed by a Qi Gong and Reiki Master living in Berlin. During meditation he saw that Qi Gong energy could be channelled in the same way as Reiki — the second part of the attunement process grew out of this.
The symbols were most likely channelled by an English medium and were put together later, because it was thought that symbols ought to be part of the attunement process. Experiences with these levels have been positive; because it is so powerful, this energy is also called Reiki-Laser energy.
The two levels are taught together and the attunements are given one after the other, because V and VI represent Yin and Yang. Level V is called "Great Harmony" — Dai Cho Wa, and level VI "Great Sharing" — Dai Fa Shu. The manual also gives a wisdom symbol used at the start of the work: Dai Ro Se.
Foremost among the ways of working opened up by these levels are the clearing of the spinal channel and the clearing of the aura; the steps carried out immediately after the attunement are set out in order in the manual.
The section on aura clearing also covers how to deal with beings that appear during the work. The emphasis is not on force but on working with love and understanding — a being that appears is not always negative; it may be the person's guide or protector.
Other areas of work include quickening your own frequency, working with someone who has closed themselves off, being present with and connecting to those who are unconscious or at the end of life, and connecting with beings in nature, the four elements, the planets and the stars.
Sending and receiving information along Reiki beams also belongs to these levels; you can send to the past and to the future.
These levels are not a medical practice and do not replace any treatment. For anything to do with health, see a doctor first and do not stop a treatment already under way.
Prerequisite: to have been an actively working Reiki Master for at least six months. The attunements can only be given by a Reiki VI Master. The course includes a PDF manual, the attunements for both levels, a certificate and email support.

The last name in the chain is mine; when you complete this course your certificate carries the same chain with your name added.
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.
