Sekhem All-Love: Returning to Source Beyond Separation

Sekhem, return to Source

Explore the one-hour practice of breath, music, and intention as a path to the awareness of “I am” and the recognition that you are not separate from All-Love. Read on gently.

Explore how Sekhem practice can reveal what has been held in the energy and open awareness beyond form. This teaching follows the return to Source through breathwork, music, intention, and the recognition that you are not separate from All Love. It also considers how spiritual ideas and encounters with other forms of consciousness can either support growth or become distractions.

Energy, Healing, and the Heart Beyond Form

### Energy can reveal what has been held

Sharing: The most profound experience I have had with the energy so far began when my hands started vibrating so intensely that I felt anyone near me would have been able to feel it. The sensation began to radiate through my whole body.

I started recognizing something that reminded me of the idea of pain centres. Pain began appearing in parts of my body where I had not felt pain for some time. It made sense to me as the energy moved through places where pain had been held.

During an earlier experience, I felt as though I still had my breast, and I understood that a healing was taking place. I had not consciously realized how much pain I had been holding. This experience was different. I became aware that my womb was gone, yet it did not feel as though it were simply absent. It felt as though it had been drawn upward inside me and had begun to open.

That was enormous for me because I have been sexually repressed for many years. This was not a sexual experience, but it involved organs that had been used to define me as a woman. The whole experience made it clear that what defines me as a woman is not my breast, my vagina, or everything that was removed. It is my heart. I am still a woman.

At one point I felt pressure on my feet, as though somebody were holding them. I felt tapping here, and later one tap there. I did not think anyone was around other than another participant.

Response: There are helpers. That is why there is no need to be too concerned. There is a great deal of support.

Sharing: The experience had a profound effect. It left my cynicism overturned and replaced with awe.

From Rebirth to Returning to Source

### Direct the practice toward source

Patrick Zeigler describes his first breathwork experience as so profound that he knew it was something he needed to follow through with. The work has evolved since then. In its original form, it was called rebirthing, because the person who developed it had an experience of reliving his own birth while doing the breathwork.

The name was later taken up and misused by others, so that experience should not be confused with every use of the word rebirthing. Because the originator had relived his birth, the practice began to programme other people to have that same kind of experience.

The direction can be chosen differently. Rather than programming a return to birth, the practice can be directed toward going back to source. This is why samadhi, returning to source, non-duality, and connecting to the soul are important within the teaching. The essential question is what the practice is pointing toward.

During that first experience, music was playing while Patrick was lying there. He still remembers the music in his head, including the repeated affirmation, “People love to give me money.” It was an affirmation, and it reflected the programme being used at that time.

Spiritual prosperity can be valuable, and it is important in its own way. At the same time, Patrick has always been somewhat rebellious about it. His wife frequently challenges him by asking why he does not ask for more. He remembers having a kind of hermit life in which he gave up everything. Even without a fancy car or other possessions, he knows that he has everything he needs and that he has a wonderful life.

The lightness of the exchange continued with the wish for a car that could fly, and the answer that it was already being worked on and might someday be close. Beneath the humour is the same distinction: prosperity may be present, but a meaningful life is not measured by possessions.

The One-Hour Return

### Let the music carry the sequence

The experience is not separate from its music. The music is part of the guidance, and the complete list is sequenced for one hour.

The sequence can be played from the website, or the music can be downloaded and kept as physical songs. Having the songs available makes it possible to enter the practice without needing to depend on a live connection.

The full experience is one hour. A practitioner may not feel able to lie down and breathe for an hour at first, but the organized sequence provides a structure that can be returned to. The music can be allowed to play through everything in order.
