Seichem- The Elemental Healing Rays
Since the emergence of Reiki at the beginning of the last
century, and its introduction to the west, there have been
many variations in the way energy healing is taught. As
it has developed, people have added information and understandings
and have also had similar experiences to that of Mikao Usui,
the man who founded Reiki for the present time. This has
created more names for energy healing than the Eskimos have
for snow!
Energy healing works on the idea that the world is an energy
system made from differing frequencies. The physical world
is made from very dense frequencies which is why we can
see them. Other energies such as microwaves, radio-waves,
sound-waves and radiation are frequencies of energy that
are less dense and so we cannot ordinarily see them. Around
physical objects there is a frequency of energy that we
do not ordinarily see, scientifically known as the electromagnetic
energy field, or aura. It is in these layers of energy around
animal and human bodies that are thought by many, for thousands
of years, to contain emotions, thoughts and our connection
with the universe. Scientific research is now finding ways
to show this to be true.
Seichem is one type of energy healing that has become popular
in the UK. Another form similar to Seichem, called Karuna,
has also become very popular. There are other forms of healing
called Sekhem, Seichim, and SKHM etc, which are actually
different from Seichem in the way they are taught, but share
similar roots. This group of energy healings have elements
of Egyptian teachings, as in ancient Egypt energy healing
was commonplace.
Seichem is passed on in a similar way to Reiki. It is understood
that Reiki is a part of Seichem, being one (the earth element)
of the four healing energies, which include, Sakara (fire
element) Sophi-El (water element) and Angelic Light (air
and spirit element). When we talk of the ‘elemental
rays’ we are not talking of the physical manifestation
or energy from the earth, fire, water or air (three dimensional
substances), we are talking of energy frequencies that pervade
the universe.
In Seichem teachings Reiki forms the foundation for the
other healing rays grounding them all, and working on the
physical and mental body. It is usually experienced as a
deep heat or warmth.
Sakara is the fire elemental ray, bringing in a rainbow
of protective light which surrounds the aura. Sakara is
experienced as a hot tingling sensation like a mild electrical
current, working well on the electromagnetic fields that
create the aura.
Sophi-El is the water elemental ray and is experienced as
waves of cool energy. This ray increases the practitioner’s
psychic awareness and works well on emotional issues.
Angelic Light is a two-fold ray connecting to the elemental
ray of air and the Angelic realm. It is experienced as a
gentle breeze blowing at the finger tips, helping mental
healing and enhancing the practitioner’s perception
through the third eye.
Seichem treatments are carried out in the same way as a
traditional Reiki treatment; the client is placed on a couch
or a chair, and the practitioner channels energy through
their hands to the client. The energy is not the practitioners,
and therefore a practitioner would not be said to heal the
client. The recipient’s body knows how much and where
it wants these energies to go, thus allowing benefits to
occur in the aspects of the person that are most in need.
For example, it could be that someone has physical ailments,
which may have been brought on by an emotional or mental
aspect. The energies would most likely work on restoring
balance to the emotions and mental states before the body
can be alleviated of the physical symptoms.
Because the energy is not the practitioners, but energy
that is found throughout the universe, the practitioner
is also able to receive these energies for themselves, and
also be able to give themselves a treatment in the same
way as they would give to others. This is common to all
channelled energy treatments and practices.
Many energy practitioners may feel the different energies
described in Seichem teachings, even if they have not been
taught by a Seichem teacher. It is my understanding that
the healthier you are both physically, mentally and emotionally
you will be able to channel whatever the healing frequencies
or rays the recipient needs. By receiving Seichem “initiations”
(procedures that allow you to open up to the healing rays),
and indeed any energy initiation, you are clearing away
any energy debris that prevent a person from being a clear
channel. It is, however, up to the individual to ensure
that they stay as clear a channel as possible to continue
being of service to others. Indeed energies will be channelled
no matter how much “debris” you have, but the
clearer you are the more energy is allowed through.
So Seichem is one of many energy practices here for the
population, and like many has its roots originating from
Mikao Usui and ancient teachings. Because we are all made
of the energies that a practitioner channels through, all
physical, emotional and mental ailments can be treated.
Seichem is a beautiful healing technique that uses the understanding
of the elements within its teachings and allows practitioners
and recipients a chance to bring themselves and their surroundings
closer to balance.
