Sekhem: Diverse Manifestations and Ethical Considerations in Sekhem All Love Practice

Receiving the Different Vibrations of Energy

Sharing: Growing up in a household that felt unbearable, I sometimes prayed either for God to take me or to take a parent, as though one of us needed to be removed from the situation. I did not commit suicide. In my life today, I feel like a zombie, going through the actions without feeling much and numbing out. Part of me feels that this is where I want to stay.

The effects of energy work can sometimes be unexpected. The previous practice had activated a very refined energy vibration, and the experience could become deeply transcendental. When the body and mind relax into receiving, it is possible to enter a timeless state.

Sharing: I loved recognizing that we all have energy, and that everybody had a different vibration. One person’s energy felt like a buzzing sensation. With other people, I felt love, or different kinds of pressure and movement. It was wonderful to experience those differences. As I relaxed and received, after the second round I began to feel energy within myself. I started breathing a little more, and I felt the circle grow stronger and stronger. I felt something coming up from the Earth. Nothing dramatic happened with it, but I felt it. Then, when we went around again, it became stronger. I felt a little out of it, but it was good.

From Chakra Sounds to the Pure Tone

An internal experience of sound may arise during the work. When attention turns toward the inner sound, different tones can appear. The ringing of bells is one of the sounds associated with the chakras, possibly the throat chakra.

The sounds can be understood as a progression. There may be low, bass-like sounds, sometimes compared with the sound of a motorcycle. From there, the experience may move toward flutes, bells, crickets, and the singing of angels. Chakra diagrams connect sounds with the different chakras. Some descriptions give only a general sound, while others are more specific, naming the flute, bell, cricket, or angelic sound.

Beyond the sounds of the chakras, there is a tone with no wave in it. It is a pure, consistent tone. This can be understood as the highest tone to remain focused on. One sound leads to another, and the experience can become increasingly subtle.

In non-duality there is no movement, no form, and no time. Everything is infinite. If something is infinite, it does not have a wave. It is simply a point. The pure tone has that quality. You will recognize it when you reach it.

Many Expressions, One Source

Everyone can have a different experience of the work. Do not compare one person’s experience with another person’s. The experience may be unique, and that difference does not mean that something is missing or that a new system must be created.

This difference can create confusion. Someone may think, “What I am experiencing is not what Patrick is experiencing, or what someone else is experiencing. Therefore, I have something completely new and unique, and I need to create my own system.” This is one reason there are so many variations within Reiki and so many variations within Sekhem. The work is still coming from the same source.

Different desires, wishes, and interests allow the energy to manifest differently. One teacher may love to sing and include a great deal of singing in a class. Another may enjoy dance and use more movement. Someone else may connect more with breath work and include more of it. Another person may connect with light language. As teaching develops and light language comes through, that may become a particular specialty.

The intention is not to create more separation. Everyone is working from the same source, but the expression can have different colors. There is no requirement for everyone to wear the same color. Some teachers want everyone to use one color or another, but it is healthy to change colors from time to time.

Sharing: It makes sense to think of it like a band. A band needs flute players, drummers, clarinet players, and all the other instruments. Everyone does not need to play the clarinet.
