A four-level Reiki system of compassion and transformation (the Violet Flame), born of Ivy Moore's meditations on Quan Yin. You learn protection, karma work and distance work. Usui Reiki 2 or above is recommended.
Before you enrol
How is the attunement given?
Four levels. The attunement can be given in one session, but four separate stages are recommended because of the number of symbols.
Can I teach afterwards?
Yes — those who have received the fourth level may give the attunement to others.
How long does it take?
The attunement takes about half an hour.
Violet Flame Reiki was founded by Ivy Moore. She tells how, while meditating on Quan Yin, the goddess of compassion, and looking for better ways of healing with Reiki, she received some forty symbols. In her own words this is not a higher or newer Reiki; it is a transformative energy with a different frequency, feminine and gentle.
How do you work with it?
The work begins with Quan Yin's mantra and an intention; you can draw the symbols on your palms or directly over the person, but you do not have to use them. There is no need to scan the person and there are no set hand positions: you use what you learned in Usui Reiki. At a distance you work through a surrogate; you can also send it to a room or a place. There is also a short violet-light exercise, just a few minutes long, that you can do during the day.
What you learn on the course
- The symbols of the four levels and ways of using them
- Working in person and at a distance, and sending to a place
- Spiritual protection and karmic clearing
- Nine steps for bringing the Violet Flame into daily life
- Attuning others after the fourth level
Levels and prerequisite
Violet Flame Reiki has four levels. The attunement can be given at once, but because there are so many symbols it is better received in four separate sittings; we can decide together how you would like to take it. Because of the number of symbols, Usui Reiki 2 or above is recommended.
Violet Flame Reiki 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.
