What we see in physical world is mass of nucleus and electrons, but what we don’t ordinarily see is that huge amount of empty space in between. 99% of physical world, our bodies, plants, buildings etc., is in fact ‘empty’ space. However, when this ‘empty space’ is tampered with in such instances as atomic bomb and nuclear power, we can see that each atom contains and amazing amount of unseen energy.

We know that atoms are always moving and vibrating. It is my idea (and I’m not necessarily only person to think this) that it is universal energy, Chi or Prana that passes through spaces of these atoms and creates their movement. This is how frequencies we call Reiki/Reiki-Seichem, and other words for healing frequencies, can be transmitted through physical body of practitioner to physical body of recipient. This energy can then be concentrated and organised by body to bring about physical healing. Likewise, this energy can also be used by surrounding emotional and mental layers of body to bring about healing. Without this energy flowing through atoms they become out of balance and ‘die’.

Explained in this way, Reiki/Reiki-Seichem does not seem so ‘far out’ or ‘spooky’. It helps everyday person to understand ideas of healing when we can put it in scientific terms, and it also helps with respect and acceptance of healing modalities within society. Often practitioners describe essence of channelling energy as channelling love, spiritual force, God energy and other esoteric terms. This often creates idea that we cannot understand what is happening and therefore could be a creation of faith/belief. By explaining it in scientific terms we can reach far more people and gain credibility for what we do in an age of technology and rationalism.

Seichem treatments are carried out in same way as a traditional Reiki treatment; client is placed on a couch or a chair, and practitioner channels energy through their hands to client. The energy is not practitioners, and therefore a practitioner would not be said to heal client. The recipient’s body knows how much and where it wants these energies to go, thus allowing benefits to occur in aspects of 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 emotions and mental states before body can be alleviated of physical symptoms.

Because energy is not practitioners, but energy that is found throughout universe, practitioner is also able to receive these energies for themselves, and also be able to give themselves a treatment in same way as they would give to others. This is common to all channelled energy treatments and practices.

Many energy practitioners may feel different energies described in Seichem teachings, even if they have not been taught by a Seichem teacher. It is my understanding that healthier you are both physically, mentally and emotionally you will be able to channel whatever healing frequencies or rays recipient needs. By receiving Seichem “initiations” (procedures that allow you to open up to 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 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 clearer you are more energy is allowed through.

So Seichem is one of many energy practices here for population, and like many has its roots originating from Mikao Usui and ancient teachings. Because we are all made of energies that a practitioner channels through, all physical, emotional and mental ailments can be treated. Seichem is a beautiful healing technique that uses understanding of elements within its teachings and allows practitioners and recipients a chance to bring themselves and their surroundings closer to balance.
