The twelfth level of the Grandmaster Reiki series; its symbol means "great love". You learn a meditation for recognising your life's work through love and for feeling safe, and how to give this level's attunement. For Reiki Masters.
Before you enrol
Prerequisite
No prerequisite — if you feel ready, you may take it.
The symbol of the twelfth level means "great love", and it helps you move towards the true aim of your life. This degree is the last of the light degrees passed on through Silva; that line is completed with Reiki 12. Here too the attunement is given in a single session.
Your life's work: to love
I do not treat the search for your life's work as something complicated. In its view, our task is to love our surroundings, ourselves and everything that has been created. It explains this through the greatest commandment in the Gospels: being able to love another as yourself first requires you to love yourself. Loving yourself is therefore counted as part of the task, not outside it.
Respect for what is different
The second theme is difference. Someone whose faith, culture or way of life is not yours has people they love, losses they mourn and things they care about, just as you do. This respect reaches into everyday choices: putting material greed in the background and choosing eco-friendly products even when they cost more. The feeling sought in the meditation is safety; when you feel loved and held, fear has less room.
What you learn on the course
- Meditation with the symbol meaning great love, for when you are looking for your life's work or simply want to feel safe
- Loving yourself as the ground for loving others
- Suggestions on accepting differences and respecting other cultures
- Giving the twelfth-level attunement to others, and this level's attunement sequence
Who is it for?
For Reiki Masters who want to continue the Grandmaster series, which begins with Grandmaster V and VI. If you want to get clear about what truly matters on your spiritual path and bring more love into the work you do, I recommend this level.
Grandmaster XII 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 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.
