Sekhem: Protection, Present Love, and Healing Through Sekhem All Love
This teaching explores how present consciousness can bring protection, love, and care into painful childhood memories. Through breath, stillness, spontaneous movement, laughter, and connection with the formless, the body can begin to release and make room for safety, joy, and compassionate self-care

Protection Across Time
Within the Sekhem All-Love practice, protection can be brought into a painful childhood memory through present consciousness. Return to a time when a parent was angry, while feeling the presence of a trusted protective companion. Let current consciousness appear as an angel from the future, able to speak with the younger self.
Speak directly to the child within the memory: “You deserve to be protected.” Then imagine that this future consciousness can truly protect the child, together with the trusted companion. Feel them as a team.
The future consciousness can also speak firmly to the threatening parent. Let the younger self say what needs to be said. In this practice, the words that arise are simple and direct: “Go away.” Allow the protective presence to be strong enough to create distance.
Notice whether the threatening person is still aggressive in the present. A participant recognised that the person was no longer part of current life and had not been seen for a long time. Let the body register the goodness of that distance.
Question: What is being held when the people connected with the original harm are no longer in present life?
A wish may remain: the wish that things had been different, the wish for a real mother and a real father. Feel that wish without forcing it away. Seeing the wish clearly reveals the connection that is still being held.
