Sekhem – Lineage Guidance
This Notice is for the
attention of anybody who has been trained in Helen Belot’s
combined Reiki, Seichim and Sekhem
system within the lineage downwards from myself. The date of posting is November 2006.
Background
to the Notice
My training manual for Helen
Belot’s Reiki / Seichim/ Sekhem system was written in 2001/02. We are now five years
on from then. In that time, some of the people in the lineage above us have
moved on with what they are doing. In the lineage beneath me I have been
receiving reports that not all the original teachings have been passed down and
of some other issues arising. This guidance notice therefore is intended to
give both an information update about what has been going on within the lineage
and also to ask that on some matters we can work to a standard external
presentation within the lineage.
The
Lineage above us
At the start of our lineage
tree, Patrick Zeigler is very active currently in his teaching work. Patrick is
teaching in a different way these days to the style of a traditional attunement workshop. His present day workshops create the
environment in which energies of a more generic nature flow in freely and can
be received by the participants direct and not through him. The energies raised
in his workshops facilitate healing amongst the participants. Sometimes participants
receive spontaneous initiations into the energies. Many people have had amazing
experiences at these workshops. You can read more about what he is doing these
days at his website at http://www.all-love.com/All-love/Eng/ .
Further down the lineage, Marsha Burack is teaching Seichim with
her colleague Shashala in a way that incorporates
both the traditional attunement approach and
Patrick’s current way of teaching. She is at http://reikihealinginstitute.org/classes.html
.
In
Also in
It is my understanding that elsewhere
within Helen’s lineage people learning Sekhem these
days might be shown the lineage tree starting with Helen. I would ask please
that members of the lineage beneath me could continue to present to their
students the full lineage tree in my training manual which starts with Patrick
Zeigler and which includes the Deepa Slater leg so
that we do not lose the record of all the people from Patrick down to ourselves
who have contributed to helping us to get to where we are now.
Usage of
the names Seichim, Sekhem,
SKHM
Different healers are using
the names Seichim, Sekhem
and SKHM in similar but different contexts.
The name that Patrick Zeigler gave to
the energy that he experienced in
Around this time,
The Ancient Egyptians wrote in
consonants only. They did not write vowels. Their written form of Sekhem was SKHM. SKHM was also used within the lineage
above Helen in an interchangeable way. SKHM has also been used for the less
structured form of teaching that Patrick has introduced in recent years.
Outside of Helen’s lineage, the American
teacher Diane Shewmaker channelled energies and
teachings which led to the development of what she has named the Sekhem-Seichim-Reiki matrix or SSR. I have no experience of the energies within
this system but SSR represents another situation in which the same names are
used.
The use of the same names in different contexts
can obviously give cause to misunderstandings. When dealing with prospective
students and other relevant parties, could members in the lineage beneath me
please take the time to explain clearly what they are applying the names to and
to take the time to understand the context in which the other people think that
they are using the names. If we do not do this, there will be times when we are
talking at cross purposes with people and confusion will result.
For the record, when I talk about Seichim and Sekhem I follow
Helen’s use of the names including for the rest of this posting.
Seichem
Another name for a healing
energy that is a derivative of SKHM is Seichem. This is an energy from the Tera-Mae ™
family of energies which has Kathleen Milner as Head of Lineage.
Kathleen received an initiation into Seichim at one
point. This did not feel like a particularly good attunement
to her and she felt that the Seichim energy was
lacking in power. A while afterwards, she had a vision of Sai
Baba who gave her an initiation into the energy she calls Seichem.
She discovered later that the Higher Being who gave
her the initiation was not Sai Baba but Lord Buddha. Some people are making the connection that
Lord Buddha gave her a better initiation into Seichim
and that Seichem and Seichim
are the same energies. This is not the case and Seichim
and Seichem are not the same energies despite the similarity
in name. Some people prefer to work with energies at a general level and do not
work with individual energies. These people are not discerning about the
differences between energies and are making connections between different
energies that do not exist and are misrepresenting situations.
Australian
Sekhem
In the
Myself
I am working currently from
the training manual that I wrote about five years ago. I am in the process of
updating the Foundation Chapters and tidying up the rest of the manual.
Although this work is running behind schedule, there are not any substantive
changes planned to the existing manual in the imminent future.
As a project for the future, I would like
to work through all of Deepa’s training course
material and run a pilot course for it with the intention of introducing this
over here in the
As
a project for next year, I intend to create a controlled access members’
section on the website within which the training manual will be available on
line. It is likely that it will be towards the end of 2007 before the loading
of the manual on to the website is completed. Anybody within my lineage or
within Helen’s lineage elsewhere will be able to have password access to the levels
that are appropriate for them. It will be posted in the webpage version of
Microsoft Word. This will make it easier for people to copy parts of it and
incorporate into their own Word based training material. The online manual will
also have a change control record of any files that have been updated from the
original version so that we can keep track of updates.
I have had the experience that students can
sometimes have difficulty sensing the Sekhem energy
when first learning it. I think that this is partly because Sekhem
is not felt in
the same way physically as Reiki due to its high vibrational
frequency. Sometimes students coming from other teachers have not been taught
the basics of meditation and developing their perceptive and intuitive skills
so do not always have enough tools to work with Sekhem. I have also had the experience that students
find it difficult to feel or to sense the Seichim and
Sekhem energies separately when receiving the
multiple style attunements. Because of this, it might
be more appropriate sometimes to teach Seichim or Sekhem separately and not together. In due course, therefore,
I will split the teachings from Helen’s system and my manual so that they can
be taught separately if needed.
Away from Helen’s Reiki / Seichim / Sekhem system, I am trying
to get back to developing training manuals for some of the other energies that
I work with. This is very time consuming work and the big constraint is the
number of hours in the day. I also want
to spend some time trying to develop my website as an information centre.
My
training manual
My training manual is the
written form of how I teach Helen’s system. I would like to take the
opportunity to confirm that I have always passed on the energies in Helen’s
system in the way that I was taught by Helen. I have not added any new symbols
to her system and have not changed the attunement
procedures.
I have added attunements
to some additional energies to be used alongside
Helen’s system as appropriate. These are useful in areas of channelling, ceremonies,
psychic surgery, etc., but do not change the core teachings from Helen.
CD
version of the training manual
Computer technology has
progressed a lot in five years. Back in 2002, the electronic versions of my
manuals were made available either by saving on numerous 3.5 inch discs or by
e-mailing compressed versions of the files. The number of files in the manual
meant a lot of time spent saving or sending files at my end. I would suspect
that this might have meant that the full manuals did not always get passed on
further down the lineage. These days I copy my manuals to CD. If anybody within
the lineage would like a CD copy of the manual, copies can be obtained at a
cost of 12
Helen Belots’ Training Manual
It is not clear to me whether
Helen Belot’s training manual has been passed down to
all members of the lineage. When I learned with Helen Belot,
she gave permission for copies of all her training materials to be passed down.
I scanned her manuals and they are available in electronic form. They are included
in my manual as appendices. It is helpful for people to have access to Helen’s
original teachings so that they can see what these were before other people
have made their additions subsequently. I would ask, therefore, that everybody
in the lineage down from me passes copies of Helen’s manuals on to their
students. If you do not have a copy, the electronic version is available on the
CD version of my training manual.
Sekhem
Association
Helen Belot
established the Sekhem Association to ensure minimum
standards of training and practice within an approved pool of Sekhem Masters. Following an incident shortly after I
finished training with Helen Belot in September 1999,
I decided that I did not wish to continue to be a member of the Sekhem Association and did not renew my annual membership
when it fell due. This has meant that I have not been party to any additional
healing symbols or healing techniques and methodologies that have been
introduced to Helen’s standard training programme since then. Because of this, nobody
in the lineage beneath me is eligible for membership of the Sekhem
Association unless they retrain with a teacher who is a member of the
Association.
The training manual that I have issued
since 2002 advises on this matter so there should be no misunderstanding about
it. It has come to my attention that it has been indicated to some of the
people who have been trained within the lineage beneath me that they would be
eligible for membership of the Sekhem Association. It
has also come to my attention that sometimes the matter of membership of the Sekhem Association has not been discussed with prospective
students. For the future, could members of the lineage under me please make it
very clear to prospective students that they will not be eligible for
membership of Helen Belot’s Sekhem
Association. Members of the lineage should advise
prospective students that they will be taught the full teachings of the system
as they were in September 1999 when I completed my learning with Helen.

Representation
of Sekhem
Elsewhere in Helen’s
lineage, it is common to find representation of Sekhem
as being a feminine energy or embodying the feminine spirit. If members of the
lineage beneath me wish to make representation about this, could they please be
very careful with the words that they use so that they do not mislead people.
The essence of Sekhem is that it helps us to achieve
good balance between male and female energies. Therefore, somebody who has a
lot of male personal energy, even though they may be living inside a female
physical body, is likely to feel Sekhem working to
bring them back in to a more equal male / female energy equilibrium and it will
feel like feminine energy is coming in. Alternatively, if Sekhem
is applied to a situation which has been dominated by male energy, again it
will help to achieve a more equal male / female energy
equilibrium. This is not the same as Sekhem being a
feminine energy and I would ask if members could choose their words
accordingly. Sekhem is not a feminine energy. It has
a good balance of male and female energy. If we present this incorrectly, then
we mislead clients and students.
Similarly,
it can be found elsewhere in Helen’s lineage representations of Sekhem as being a complete energy system with everything
that is inherent and implied within that description. Other representations
indicate that Sekhem has a completeness that other
healing energy systems do not have. I do
not know what comprehensive experience of other energy healing systems the
people who have been making such statements have but I do not feel that these
statements give a correct picture. Lots of healers are doing good healing using
a wide range of healing modalities and including other channelled energies. I
know from my own experience that healing can take place simply by channelling
the energy from Mother Earth beneath and from the Universe above and passing on
to a client without the need for the healer to have gone through any kind of attunement process. We all know as well that in some emotional
and behavioural situations active involvement from the client is needed before
anything can happen. If we make representations that we cannot achieve with
clients or students or which are wrong, our credibility is damaged. I would
ask, therefore, if all members of the lineage could choose the words that they
use when talking about Sekhem carefully. It is
helpful sometimes to try to put ourselves in the shoes of prospective clients
or students listening to our words and to consider how the receiver will
interpret our words.
Some members in Helen’s lineage elsewhere
seem to give the impression that the higher the frequency of energy that they
can channel, the more suitable it is for healing purposes. They say that Sekhem is the highest frequency energy being worked with on
the planet at the present time and that there is no longer any need to work with
longer with the lower frequency Reiki energy. The truth about energy healing is
that different health situations need different frequencies and different qualities
of energy to heal them. The skill of the healer lies in deciding whether to
work with generic energies such as from Mother Earth or the Universe or whether
to work with specific energies. The former are more likely to have the
frequencies and qualities needed for healing but the strength of these can be
dissipated to some extent by everything else that is being channelled. The
latter can be more effective if the correct energy is chosen by the healer
because the dissipation effect is reduced. It is not a badge of honour to give the
impression that the higher the frequency of energy a healer can channel, the
better the healing ability of the energy. Nor is it correct to indicate that one healing energy is better than another healing energy. I
would ask if members in the lineage beneath me could please refrain from such
representation. This kind of approach is the one certain way to damage the
credibility of the work that we do.
Higher
Beings
In Helen’s system, she
teaches that the Sekhem energy is associated with Sekhmet and that the Seichim
energy is associated with Kwan Yin.
On his website, Patrick advises that there
were no Higher Beings involved when he had his experience in the Great Pyramid.
As far as I can be certain, Helen is
correct when she says that Sekhmet was working
proactively for the Sekhem energy to be used in the
public domain again on this planet. Sekhmet was
involved with bringing back this energy. This energy was worked with under
direction from Sekhmet in earlier times.
The situation is not the same for Kwan Yin.
I have asked many times about her connection with Seichim.
Here the situation seems to be that she does not have a specific connection
with Seichim in the sense of trying to bring it back
into the public domain. The situation seems to be much more that when she has
been connected with people she has either supported them with whatever they were
working with or has found what would be suitable for them individually to work
with which has included Seichim.
Perhaps members of the lineage might care
to focus some of their time on the same questions when they have the time.
If you do feel a connection to these Higher
Beings, they will help you to pass the attunements
and will help with healing sessions. If you do not feel a connection, your
intention and quality of preparation should be sufficient to pass the attunements well and to undertake healing without them.
The
Stars
People work with different
mind sets when working with the energies. Each has its own advantages and
disadvantages. For those people who prefer to work in a more generic way with
energy, it is not too important about the routes that energies take to reach
us. For other people, this is quite important.
Helen teaches that the Sekhem
energy comes from the Sirius stars. As far as I can be certain this is correct.
Neither Patrick nor Helen gave any such
guidance about Seichim. I am able to channel a lot of
energies and have felt a common vibration between the Seichim
and other energies. That common link is a Pleaidean
vibration which is referred to in my manual. For a matter of record, I need to
make it clear that this particular commentary has come from myself
and not from Patrick or Helen. I have asked repeatedly for confirmation of the Seichim link to the Pleiades when passing attunements or in a similar energy state and have always
received the confirmation. Kwan Yin carries the Pleaidean
vibration and has always been with me in my energy work from the day I first
received a Reiki attunement. She has repeatedly
confirmed the link.
When I was developing my Blue Star manual,
I was guided to go to the Egyptian Cartouche energies. I was shown how there
was a hidden dimension to some of the energies of the Cartouche. These were
star energies. My feeling is that one of the many directions in which our
understanding of Helen’s energies can follow in the future lies with the star
energies and that Seichim and Sekhem
are pieces in a much wider picture of star energies that some of the Ancient Egyptians were working with. That however is
work for the future.
For the present day, I would ask please that
the lineage follow Helen’s guidance on the Sirius connection with Sekhem. If you wish to refer to what I have said about Seichim and the Pleiades, it would be helpful to point that
this came from me and is not part of the original teachings from Helen. You do
not have to make reference to the Pleiades.
Distance
attunements
I understand that comment
has been made from within Helen’s lineage about the appropriateness of passing attunements by distance, the view being that good attunements cannot be passed this way. My view on this is
that it is not always possible to be present physically with somebody who needs
to receive the energy. Also, the way that I pass attunements
is to send the attunements to any aspect of the
person in any time, place or dimension where it is appropriate to be received
and to ask the Higher Beings working with me to be with the other aspects of
the person elsewhere and to help with the attunement
process there. Physical presence is not possible with all of this anyway.
I have had the experience of sending attunements over distance to people and they have worked.
I have had the experience of receiving attunements by distance. Some have worked, some have not.
The ones that did not work came from people who I do not think prepared
properly or did not put enough effort or intention into the job in hand or did
not have the sensitivity to discern between the different energies they could
channel. The issues there were probably more to do with the person passing the attunements rather than whether they were in person or by
distance.
My guidance on distance attunements
is that the best attunements will work when a proxy
energy environment or energy bank has been created properly, when the healer
has taken time to build up within himself / herself the maximum amount of the
energy to be passed on as possible, where the healer has taken proper time and
steps to connect to the person at the receiving end, and where the healer has
built up as much intention as possible.
If this is all done, then there should be no reason why a successful attunement cannot be passed over distance.
My
teaching structure
The teaching structure that
I have developed for Helen’s system is largely an extension of a traditional
format except that it has a lot more detail. I have made my manuals very
detailed for a number of reasons. Firstly, my intention is that if regulation
comes to the energy healing sector in the UK and people who have learned with
me are required to explain how they learned their trade, the manuals that they
present from me will be of good standard and acceptable to the regulators.
Secondly, it is often the case that students do not always practice immediately
what they learn in class and their memory becomes a bit hazy about what they
have learned when they come to practice it several months on. The detail in the
manuals gives them the necessary instruction if they have forgotten. Thirdly,
the manuals are written for distance learning where I am not talking or showing
things to people face to face. There has to be adequate detail for this kind of
learning.
The detail in the manuals is intended to
be my way of focussing attention in the learning situation so that through me
the student can get enough of an introduction to the energies and to develop
sufficient relationship with the energies that they no longer have any need for
me and so that the energies can take over as the true teachers. The structure
is a tool and not an end in itself. In some other energy lineages, the
teachings are very prescriptive and people are told what they can or cannot do
with the energies. This is not my approach. It should not be construed that
this is my approach because my manuals are very detailed. Once students in the
lineage have worked through any manual content that has come from me, they are
free to develop their own ways of working with the energies and if possible it
would be helpful to share these with people so that we can all have a few more tools
to work with.
The website
I do not know how many
people are in the lineage beneath me or where they are in the world. However, I
hope that I will be able to reach some of the people through this posting. All are welcome to make contact with me.
Also, if anybody has any experiences or comments about working with Helen’s
system that they would like to share with people, I would be happy to post them
to this website. The Google search system seems to like websites which have a high information content and this website already comes up
high in some of the search result rankings. The more information we can get on
to the website, the more it will feature higher in the search engine results
and the more we can reach out to people and share what we have.
Thank you.
