Reiki-SeichemWritten by Samantha Thurlby-Brooks
Seichem- The Elemental Healing RaysSince emergence of Reiki at beginning of last century, and its introduction to west, there have been many variations in 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, man who founded Reiki for present time. This has created more names for energy healing than Eskimos have for snow! Energy healing works on idea that 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 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 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 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 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 four healing energies, which include, Sakara (fire element) Sophi-El (water element) and Angelic Light (air and spirit element). When we talk of ‘elemental rays’ we are not talking of physical manifestation or energy from earth, fire, water or air (three dimensional substances), we are talking of energy frequencies that pervade universe. In Seichem teachings Reiki forms foundation for other healing rays grounding them all, and working on physical and mental body. It is usually experienced as a deep heat or warmth. Sakara is fire elemental ray, bringing in a rainbow of protective light which surrounds aura. Sakara is experienced as a hot tingling sensation like a mild electrical current, working well on electromagnetic fields that create aura. Sophi-El is water elemental ray and is experienced as waves of cool energy. This ray increases practitioner’s psychic awareness and works well on emotional issues. Angelic Light is a two-fold ray connecting to elemental ray of air and Angelic realm. It is experienced as a gentle breeze blowing at finger tips, helping mental healing and enhancing practitioner’s perception through third eye.

Using crystals in context of healing has a very long history (primitive paintings dating back to 25,000 BC). Evidence shows that ancient Egyptians used crystals for therapeutic purposes. Lapis Lazuli, a beautiful blue stone with freckles of “Fools Gold” Pyrite, was ground down and rubbed onto eyelids to prevent eye infections from sandy deserts, is one such example. Blue eye shadow is far more dated than 1960’s! It is also believed that ancient lost civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria also understood healing properties of crystals. In more recent times, crystals have found resurgence in popularity. People are buying crystals for their aesthetic qualities, dabbling in beliefs that they will bring them love, prosperity and healing.Crystals are very powerful energy systems and, when used in a treatment by a qualified practitioner, can be harnessed to bring about profound healing benefits both physically, mentally and emotionally. It has been long known and recognised by scientists that crystals have a “charge”. They have been used in technology for this very property for years, such as in computers, watches and televisions. In fact, we would not have technology without them. Through my own theorising I have come to understand way crystals can bring about healing. All living (and ‘non-living’) things vibrate to certain frequencies. We’re taught at school that atoms are in constant motion, so this idea is not alien to us. Crystals have a pure energy due to their regulatory lattice structure. When vibrations of these crystals come into contact with our own vibration, they will affect our vibration in much same way as we experience sound waves. When an individual is out of balance, crystals pure vibrations will change our own vibration, and bring imbalance closer to harmony. These ideas rest on assumption that world is made of differing frequencies of energy. 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 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 universe. Scientific research is now finding ways to show this to be true.
