Kathleen
Milner and Patrick Zeigler
I
was fortunate enough to be able to attend an evening workshop in
SKHM Workshops
Following
the evening with Patrick and Kathleen, I attended an SKHM workshop held by
Patrick on 4th and 5th May. This was a great experience
which I now share with everybody in case others might like to attend one of
these workshops some time in the future. Patrick does not work with specific energies
these days but works in a more general way with all the energies around us.
We
had a small group of six people and Patrick. We called in all our personal
energies and the energies of the planet and the universe and built up a lot of
energy within the group. Patrick took us through his Shenu
meditation which involves bringing all the energies into our heart centres and
opening our hearts. I had read about the Shenu
meditation before but it was much better to be guided through it by Patrick
himself. The purpose of the meditation was to reconnect our hearts with the
world all around and to enter into the ‘state of the heart’ – a state of consciousness where a person is
actively feeling the sensation of strong love for everything all around and of being
reconnected to everything all around.
Once
the energies were flowing, it was time for the work to start. These workshops
can be used for a number of purposes. They are good if somebody needs to be
healed of something. They are good for doing inner meditation and developing
awareness. They are good for receiving initiations from Source and for
receiving information psychically. They are good for entering different states
of consciousness. What happens in these workshops can depend upon what energies
the participants bring to the workshop and what the participants need and can
be flexed accordingly.
In
my group, some deep healing took place. The participants were able to release
some long standing emotional issues. One of the participants received a big
initiation.
I
had been so busy for months that my energy field was a bit clogged up from day
to day work, and all of that got cleared out. I did not really get into the
‘state of the heart’ during the workshop although I was flipping in out and out
for that for several days afterwards. I was mostly in a state of ‘just being’
for many days afterwards where the mind and emotions were completely still.
After the workshop it felt as if the healing energies were flowing through me
more strongly. I had been in an ongoing 'state of the heart' back in 2004 for
many weeks but not so much since. One of my intentions for Patrick's workshop
was to get back to where I was at that point in time. The energies and Higher
Beings all have their own way of working with us and we do not always get the
results we expect or in the way that we intend.
However, I have now gone back to that point in time energywise
albeit through a route subsequent to the workshop that I would not have
expected.
These
workshops are different to workshops for specific energies like Reiki in that a
specific energy is not being passed from teacher to student. The focus is much
more upon members of a group working together and the structure for these
workshops is much looser than for a traditional energy workshop.

registered
SKHM teacher. You can read more about Georgy in an
article about her in the current edition of Vision magazine which has been
posted to the abouthealing website at http://www.abouthealing.net/Georgys%20Article/index.htm. Day 1 of Georgy’s
workshop will be an intensive day bringing in and receiving the energies. Day 2 will be a PROCESSING day away
from the workshop, on the beach or at the "Lost Gardens of Heligan", or wherever one feels they would like to
be, so that participants can have their own space to work with the
energies from the previous day and can start to integrate them, with
information given at the end of day 1. Day 3 will be a day of working
together back in the group. Any healing that is needed can take place during
the workshop. And further profound work will take place. Georgy’s particular focus for the workshop will be the
receiving of initiations and of receiving whatever each individual needs
at this time for their highest good. These are just examples of the many
things that occur at a SKHM workshop, there is much more besides. Georgy can be contacted on 01726-844362 or skhm@mevweb.com for enquiries.
Trademarking
of Sekhem
In
2001, application was made to trademark the word SEKHEM throughout the European
Union. As the word Sekhem is in widespread use throughout the EU, I did not
feel that it was appropriate for it to be trademarked and made application to
the EU to oppose the trademarking. My application to oppose was unsuccessful
for a number of reasons including not being able to establish a prior right for
myself to use the word. The EU has now
granted trademark status to the word SEKHEM (trademark E2006393) in the
following product areas:
Class 03:
Bleaching preparations and other substances for laundry use; cleaning,
polishing, scouring and abrasive preparations; soaps; perfumery, essential
oils, cosmetics, hair lotions; dentifrices.
Class 33:
Alcoholic beverages (except beers).
Class 42:
Health care services inclusive of medical clinics, naturopaths; massage;
medical assistance; pharmacy advice; physiotherapy; rest homes; sanitoria.
Application was made to trademark the word written in upper
case (capital) letters as SEKHEM. The application did not include the word
written in other combinations of upper and lower case letters such as Sekhem or
sekhem and the European Union officials have not
considered the case for trademarking the word in other combinations of upper
and lower case letters.
If anybody who
is affected by the trademarking wishes to know more, please feel free to contact
me at
info@healingenergies-at-londonwest.com. I
have all the paperwork relating to the trademarking.
Allan Sweeney and Research Projects
For those of you who do not know him, Allan is one of
the leading energy healers here in the
In
particular Allan is getting a research project underway now to measure the
characteristics of the energies being channelled by healers and is asking for
healers to come forward to help. Below is a copy of a communication which he
sent out recently. If you are interested
in helping, application forms may be obtained direct from Allan or through myself at
info@healingenergies-at-londonwest.com. Participants

Experienced Healers Wanted!
To replicate a
Research study by
with Principle Investigator, Dr
Allan Sweeney (
ELECTROMAGNETIC FREQUENCY METER
MEASUREMENTS AS A PREDICTOR OF CAPACITY IN ENERGY MEDICINE PRACTITIONERS IN A
RESEARCH SETTING
Background
There has been much debate in
recent years why some healers get better results than others.
Purpose
Energy Healers use specific
states of consciousness to heal others through manipulation of the Human Energy
Field. Although the Human Energy Field has not yet been adequately described by
the scientific method, it is experienced by Energy Healers as a field of energy
that informs and interpenetrates the human body and that can be influenced by
un-ordinary states of consciousness called “healing intention”. The origins of this form of medicine date
back to the origins of humanity, and so the practice of energy healing is known
in virtually every human civilization worldwide. One obstacle inherent in the scientific study
of Energy Healing is the wide variety of traditions in which Energy Healers are
trained, resulting in healers of different capabilities, using varied
techniques. This purpose of this project
is to gather information on the characteristics of Energy Healers, across and
between healers of various traditions, so that future studies of Energy Healing
may be scientifically standardized, ultimately leading to a better scientific
understanding of this form of medicine.
General
Two groups will be selected for
participation in this study,
a.
Energy healing group, and
b.
Control group.
The groups will help research
using a High and Low Frequency Electromagnetic meter and a Broadcast Frequency
counter. The meter will be held at a
distance of at least one half inch from a part of the body (without touch) for
a period of from 3 seconds to one minute depending on the data collection
point.
All data collection points are
predetermined on diagrams participants can see.
Participants will be asked to
fill out a demographics questionnaire.
Inclusion criterion for energy
healing group
- Reiki third degree practitioners
- Must have minimum of 3 years healing
experience
- Should have treated at least 6
patients weekly
Inclusion criterion for control
group
Control subjects will have had
no contact with energy healing currently or in the past, including no training
in meditation, or the martial arts.
Control subjects will be age
and sex matched with the energy healing subjects.
Exclusion criterion
All subjects (energy healers
and controls) will be asked to confirm that they do not have any of the
following psychological/physical conditions during the consenting process:
1) A history of
psychological disorders
2) A history of drug or
alcohol abuse
3) A history of any major
medical problems (epilepsy, stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, major head
trauma, heart disease, lung disease, liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes,
high blood pressure, pacemaker, metal implants and difficulty breathing through
their nose.
4) Use of any
benzodiazepines (used as tranquilizers or calming medications) and tri-cyclic
antidepressants (which are medications used to treat severe depression) opiates
(generally prescribed as pain medication) within two months prior to the start
of the study.
5) Female subjects who are
pregnant will also be excluded.
General
All participants will be age 18
or older
The study will take a maximum
of one hour
Participation is entirely
voluntary and you may withdraw from the study at any time even after beginning
as a subject
The majority of energy healers
in this country are female. Many energy healers come from ethnic and minority
backgrounds. Any person expressing an interest in participating in this
research process and who meets the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be invited
to participate. No special recruitment activities will be directed towards
women and/or minority groups.
Confidentiality
You will be assigned a number
and during the data collection and subsequent analysis, research team members
will be able to identify you by number only.
A master list assigning your name to your subject number will be
maintained for the duration of the study and upon completion of the study will
be destroyed. This master list will be kept in a locked file cabinet and on
triple-password-protected computers at the Human Energy Systems Laboratory 1601
N. Tucson Boulevard, Suite 17, Tucson, AZ 85716 USA. Access to the master list will be restricted
to the Principal Investigators. Your specific demographics information will be
destroyed at the end of the study. You
will not be identified in any publication or presentation that may result from
this study.
Costs and compensation
The only cost for participation
in this study is your time and travel cost involved. The testing will take a
maximum of 1 hour. No monetary compensation will be provided as a study subject.
Benefits
There are no guaranteed direct
benefits associated with participation in this study. However, you may benefit psychologically from
knowing that this work may help to improve the quality of energy medicine that
is available to society by helping to measure and standardize energy healers
and energy healing treatments.
Contacts
You can obtain further
information from the Principal Investigator for
